Meme: Sorting Hat

[arsenicmauls]

Okay, I've actually wanted to do this meme for weeks but then I was all, 'wait until the newbies are here' and now they are here so here we go. This was last done in March and we've had a ton of new people since then, and plus we've had more time to get to know the people who've been around for a while! So to steal from solo_sword:

For those of you not familiar with Harry Potter, there are four houses into which the students are sorted based on certain defining traits:

Gryffindor- daring, courage and chivalry
Hufflepuff- hard workers, loyalty, fairness
Ravenclaw- wit, learning, and wisdom
Slytherin- cunning, resourcefulness and ambition

A couple points for clarification because I've seen a lot of sorting stuff over the years:
All hero types are not necessarily Gryffindors.
All jerks/bad guys are not necessarily Slytherins, nor are all Slytherins necessarily jerks/bad guys.
Hufflepuff is not where you stick someone just because you can't think of anything else.
People can totally fit into more than one house.

All you have to do is ping your characters in, and people can chime in with which house they think your character belongs in. You can totally comment as to where you think your character should go, too. Feel free to give reasons when sorting people because that's half the fun, just don't be mean or I will totally come over there. And don't forget to check back during the day as more people ping in.

Re: Jack Frost

I'm thinking Gryffindor with hints of Hufflepuff, if simply because of the importance of faith in Jack's canon.

But mostly Gryffindor. A lone, reckless Gryffindor.

I think Gryffindor for Jono. But it was hard and the red in that icon may have impacted my decision.

I'm gonna say Sparks is a Slyth by way of 'every man for himself' type thinking. He's not into power so much as just survival, but it counts, I think.

Hufflepuff, omg. He sticks to his people like glue.

Stiles Stilinski

[robinonadderall]

I've seen him sorted into every single house on tumblr and I have my own opinion on the matter so I'm curious now.

Re: Stiles Stilinski

[necroslacker]

I keep going back to Hufflepuff for Stiles. It's the loyalty thing that keeps bringing me back especially irt Scott. And nobody works his ass off more on that show, I swear.

Loki Laufeyson

[abitlowkey]

Who makes Salazar Slytherin green with envy.

Re: Loki Laufeyson

[nips-your-nose.livejournal.com]

Really, how could Loki be anything but Slytherin? He's the king of cunning, hands-down.

Topher Brink

[dollpocalypse]

Re: Topher Brink

[necroslacker]

I think I'd drop Topher into Slytherin. He's not gonna go out with a sword and take you on but give him a computer and some time and he'll destroy you in his own way.

Evan Sabahnur

[genesishero]

Re: Evan Sabahnur

[necroslacker]

I think I'd go with Ravenclaw for Evan but I think a case could be made for Hufflepuff too.

Andrew Wiggin

Re: Andrew Wiggin

[ultron_junior]

Slytherin, with some Ravenclaw leanings. But while he's bright, Ender's cunning and resourcefulness are the things that make him the hero he is.

Alec Lightwood

[nottrivial]

Re: Alec Lightwood

[robinonadderall]

I'm going with Ravenclaw. Smart, logical, and for some reason I always picture Ravenclaws going with long range weapons like a bow.

April Ludgate

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

Re: April Ludgate

[pursuedthestars]

April's...hmm. She's kind of a difficult one for me to nail down. I'm tending towards Slytherin just because she's pretty damn cunning and clever when she wants to be. Some of the aspects don't really fit her but self preservation? April looking out for April? That one definitely does.

Max Blum

[not_mandonna]

Re: Max Blum

[robinonadderall]

Slytherin. I probably don't need to explain why.

Gertrude Yorkes

Re: Gertrude Yorkes

[bitten_notshy]

Ravenclaw!

Kaidan Alenko

[not_a_whiner]

Re: Kaidan Alenko

[arsenicmauls.livejournal.com]

Hufflepuff, I think. Who maybe thinks he'd have it easier if he were a Gryffindor.

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Re: Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Man, I think an argument could be made for every single one of these for Wes, honestly.

I think I'll go with Gryffindor but that answer might change tomorrow. He doesn't lack for courage but sometimes that courage makes him reckless and boom boom, he's injured. but, he's not really afraid to try it again.

But seriously, I could say Slytherin or Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw too.

Paddra-Nsu Yeul

[pulseof_life]

Re: Paddra-Nsu Yeul

[nips-your-nose.livejournal.com]

I think I'd pick Ravenclaw for Yeul. She doesn't scream it at a glance, but she's got no shortage of experience and wisdom going for her. The fairness part had me leaning Huffle, but...

Tony Stark

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Re: Tony Stark

[arsenicmauls.livejournal.com]

I think Tony is a Ravenclaw with some Slyth in him that he'd rather not acknowledge.

Peter Wiggin

[lockestheway]

Re: Peter Wiggin

[necroslacker]

SLYTHERIN.

Yes.

Probably the only Ravenclaw Shadow Broker eeeeeever.

Sam LaCroix

[necroslacker]

 

Re: Sam LaCroix

[nomoresportscars]

Had to take a while to think it over, but I'm leaning towards Gryffindor. I doubt he'd agree with me but screw him, I've read his canon. He is so much braver than he gives himself credit for.

Victor Mancha

[ultron_junior]

Re: Victor Mancha

[arsenicmauls.livejournal.com]

Vic's got a lot of Hufflepuff in him, with his loyalty to his team and everything, but I think he's got some Slytherin in there too. Which is funny, because most of how he's Slytherin is how he wants to prove himself and prove that he's not a bad guy, so... idk. NOW MY HEAD HURTS.

Re: Percy Jackson

Gryffiniest Gryffindor ever

Nobody Owens

Re: Nobody Owens

[bitten_notshy]

Hufflepuff! The desire to learn is Ravenclaw, but the overall package is more about loyalty.

Juliet Darling

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

Re: Juliet Darling

[arsenicmauls.livejournal.com]

Hufflepuff to match the twin!

Luke Castellan

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Re: Luke Castellan

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Luke is difficult!

Gryfftherin? IDK. If I have to choose, I think I'd go Gryffindor over Slytherin because it took a lot of guts to go against the gods and do his own thing but he's got some Slytherin in him, most definitely.
