Modeled after Orlando Bloom, though I tried to shift things into more of a family resemblance than a dead likeness. I don't think I've spent enough time staring at the guy to tell if that came off, but I'm pretty happy with it as a drawing. I was going for realism, and his features are hardly skewed at all -- I usually let face drawings go where they want even if it's not technically correct, but in this case I used a mirror and really worked at the angles.

Btw, I've read a little PotC fic, but not very much, and I don't feel like slogging through archives, so can anyone provide me with some recs? Or a good recs page? Slash, het, gen, whatever; I'm an omnivore.

weasley is our king

lizardlaugh and ixchelmala have posted the mother of all HP theories. It's either the biggest crock I've ever read, or complete and utter genius.

It starts off with a discussion of the chess game in SS/PS as a metaphor for the second war, which is something others have explored, notably lycoris (here). Then it then takes a huge (but well-supported) leap in explaining how Ron can be both a knight and the player: Ron is Dumbledore.

It's stunningly plausible, but I can't say I want it to be true -- if it is, it won't come as a surprise when it's revealed!

It also occurs to me that JKR has mentioned that one of the kids will become a Hogwarts professor, but "not the one you think" -- ie, not Hermione. This has led some to speculate that it's going to be Ron, which of course would match up with the Ron=AD theory. Scary shit, dude.
