sorting the mane six into their hogwarts houses
okay, so i decided to do this analysis because i'm writing a harry potter fic while watching an episode of my little pony and i just thought about what their houses would be so this would be a fun, little analysis thingy-ma-bob for me to do. just a heads up, i have not read all the books, i've only read until the second one and i've only watched the movies. first, we have twilight. everyone would immediately sort her into ravenclaw and this is where i would have to disagree, sort of. mostly because as seen in the show multiple and countless of times, twilight has shown bravery and courage for fighting against villains and fighting for what's right(like friendship). she's sort of like hermione, who is studious and a brainiac but still has the courage to stand up for her friends, stand up for what's right. then again, she could still be in ravenclaw and have the perseverance to do the right thing, just like luna lovegood. all in all, i believe twilight is a true ravenclaw. next, applejack. no doubt, no thoughts, she is a gryffindor. she is filled with chivalry and can be quite arrogant in a sense that she often thinks that she's in the right, which a lot of gryffindors exhibit this trait, and can be stubborn and prideful. she is honest and true, all more traits of the lion house. now, fluttershy is also a no brainer. she is the element of kindness and she is quite literally helga hufflepuff in different font, specifically, horse font. fluttershy exhibits patience, as seen in countless of episodes, and a sense of justice for her animals. she worked hard to open her animal sanctuary, just like any other hufflepuff would. fluttershy is a hufflepuff. another no brainer for me would be ms. rarity. she is cunning, she is manipulative(in the good way where she uses it to help her friends), she is resourceful and she is determined. she shows all these traits when striving to open up her multiple boutiques around equestria. other than her generosity, which isn't exhibited in a lot of slytherins in the movies that much, she is, hands down, a slytherin. rainbow dash would be somepony interesting to sort. first of all, i'm torn between sorting her into gryffindor or slytherin. her gryffindor traits would be courage, nerve, stubborn, prideful and often breaks the rules. she strives to do what's right and always goes head first into a fight in order to protect her friends or her reputation. on the other hand, her slytherin traits are just as evident. determination and cunningness to get into the wonderbolts, she's quite ambitious and boastful about her own skills and superiority. the one thing that tears her away from getting sorted into slytherin is the fact that she lacks the will to do whatever it takes to succeed. therefore, i sort her into gryffindor. good luck, gryffindor. (#appledashingryffindorforthewin) last but not least, we have my favourite of them all, pinkamena diane pie. pinks is another one that brings me to a stump. maybe at first glance, you would see her as a hufflepuff, and i agree! she is kind and humble, inclusive and selfless, and she likes food! even though, she has all these traits, her character would show her to be quite a gryffindor. through many episodes, we see her to be extremely persistent and pushy when wanting to know about things. she's extremely adventurous, enjoys travelling to new places, and she's incredibly brave as seen in the very first/second episode(she literally laughed in the face of terror). she can be fast to accuse someone immediately after one word, and she can be stubborn as well. pinkie is definitely a gryffindor. bonus: spike is a hufflepuff! i don't care what anyone says, mf is loyal, patient and full of justice. sure, he lacks humbleness and selflessness at times, but i literally can't sort him into any other house. he has no ravenclaw traits, maybe a few gryffindor traits and the slight personality of a slytherin(especially with his sarcastic remarks), but all in all, i think he fits best into hufflepuff.
i'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this! remember, this is only my opinion and if you don't agree with it that's fine but be nice, because i will cry myself to sleep if someone calls me a poopoo head for my choices of sorting.
Finalmente fiz meu teste das casas na Escola de Magia Norte Americana Ilvermorny e, novamente, fui selecionada para uma casa que favorece aos inteligentes e estudiosos. Parece que minha personalidade não mudou muito nos últimos anos. Pra vitória Nerds!! 😄😄😄😊😊💪📚📖💪👍💗💖
I'M A BADGER B*ITCHES
sander sides Harry Potter au
There’s not much to headcannon about when it comes to which houses they would be sorted into because they already told us what they wanted there houses be
Patton is a hufflepuff
Logan is ravenclaw
Roman is gryffindor
And Virgil is the reason I made this post I headcannon that in a hogwarts setting he would be a squib maybe a groundskeeper in training that’s why he feels out of place and why he is so insecure
Girl Genius Fave Characters + Hogwarts Houses
Or, "Two characters you thought were in Slytherin, but aren't, and two you thought weren't in Slytherin (but one of whom actually is)"
Since Tarvek's section is Long and I live on AO3 where you know ahead of time who’s getting written up): the faves are {Bang, Tarvek, Violetta, Zoing}. No, there is not a favoriter much less favoritest among them.
Bang: Gryffindor
She's Gryff in that she has one hammer [well, knife] that she applies to all problems. You might think be tempted to think she's Slytherin because she's willing to kill people to get what she wants, but she's not really ends justify the means. She's more stabbing justifies the stabbing. She has one value system, and applies it to everything. Pretty much Gryffindor in a nutshell. You don't conform to my value system? I will make you conform!
Tarvek: Ravenclaw
Tarvek is the hardest to place. The natural inclination is Slytherin. He's our beloved underhanded weasel of ambition. Smells exactly like Slytherin. But there's something a little off. He wants to rule the world, but rather than it being an ends in and of itself, for Tarvek, this appears to be a means.
Ravenclaw, however, fits, and not just from Sparkiness. He studied the socio-political problem, and believes that his solution is the best solution, not just for his own gain. The world can be a better place, not just "better for him," and the way to get there is to rule it all. And I believe he wouldn't necessarily fight for the title if he thought the world was going to be okay (probably in Gil or Agatha's hands. Maybe not Gil).
Let's take a look at the ways we see he isn't just for himself:
He saves Grandma
He saves Colette
He saves Anevka
He saves Lucrezia
He saves Violetta (by sending her to Mechanicsburg)
He drops onto a Fun-Sized Mobile Agony and Death Dispenser
He saves a jager and a Vespiary Squad member from a burning dirigible
He goes up against a Slaver with a wooden sword (and thank goodness Agatha is there)
Okay, so most of these you can argue are still Slytherin. Saving Grandma wins him lots of Family Points, for example. But grabbing Jorgi on top of Ruxala? Recall, his first and primary goal was to save the weasels. (Wait a second... how does he even know to save the little furballs? Bang, a high-ranking Wulfenbach captain didn't know about them until a few hours ago. I guess that's a question for another day.) He's 2 seconds from death the entire time. You could still argue he wants Ruxala for her knowledge, and the jager wins him points with Agatha. But the wooden sword move is exactly the sort of nonsense you expect from Gryffindors.
So Gryffindor!? Motives are a closer match, but the methods are off (which, you'll note, is exactly the opposite problem he has with being a Slytherin). Tarvek's way of dealing with problems is basically everything but straightforward because he knows if he hits a problem head-on, he's going to die. (And maybe this is why his type is too heroic for their own good.) Also, I don't know how you would do a Gryffindor calculation and think, "Yeah, I should save Lucrezia." (You're about to bring up a Wormtail-shaped argument, aren't you? I love me some Peter Pettigrew character analysis so Bring. It. ON!)
Well, Hufflepuffs are do-gooders, too, so why not Hufflepuff? Tarvek does work his butt off, but have you heard him talk about his family? There's a piece to Hufflepuff that believes in the very best of people, and that is very much not Tarvek. Maybe it's that he believes it of everyone but his family. Which is like, anti-Slytherin (arguably therefore Slytherin). Or something.
It's a little unfair that at this point, we only have one house left standing, especially because, surface level, you could easily place every Spark in Ravenclaw, and no one would really say you were wrong. They're all capable of disappearing into their lab, spending hours (if not days) on their chosen project (or whatever happens to pass under their hands), and operate at a level that is untouched by non-Sparks. But just because they're all able to do that, does not mean we should just lump them all in Ravenclaw. (First of all, that'd have to be one sturdy tower.)
For Tarvek, though, it fits. His approach to the socio-political situation doesn't seem to stem from what do I gain from it and how do I end up on top. Instead, he studied and understood the game, thoroughly thought about each and every possibility and the futures they could bring, decided he hated it, that it does no one a benefit, and the only way to get out is to win it, and to do that, he again leaves no means unexamined in crafting his plans. To him, it's chess. And when Agatha walks into the picture, he does a lot of re-calculating. Suddenly the things he had taken for granted as the only way are no longer the only way, and he's willing to adjust his plans to fit the new reality. He’s sort of an experimental Ravenclaw in that way. Come up with the theory, see how it unfolds, and adjust as you go.
The only "outlier" on Ravenclaw is that Tarvek has amazing restraint for a Spark, and doesn't get lost in his passions and interests. But you could also chalk that up to, he's calculated it out, and this really just is the best way. (I mean, well, it is.)
Violetta: Hufflepuff
By far the most straightforward to place. She knows her family is problematic, but then argues that Auntie Margolotta was awfully sweet for not trying very hard to kill her. She spends her first part of Mechanicsburg hating Tarvek for sending her away, but manages to figure out on her own why he sent her. And at the end of the day, she'll save his ass. (It's her job, she says.) And she works insanely hard. Sure, she also complains about it incessantly. (Just let her have cakes and dresses already!)
Zoing: Slytherin
If Tarvek was the hardest to place, Zoing is probably the most surprising. The obvious easy choice here would be another Puff because wholesome, but it just doesn't feel right. No one's going to argue against Zoing being the purest, but Zoing does not think of everyone as equal or even pretend that some people are more equal than others. Zoing's #1 is Gil. He will be loyal forever and always to Gil first. And Zoing has teeeea ambitions. (Who knows what he would've done if Gil said Agatha was there to make tea. And Zoing probably has a running [one-sided] competition with Wooster as to who can be more helpful to Gil.)
For all his tea ambitions, not everyone gets Zoing!tea. There are people who deserve tea, and people who don't deserve tea. Othar probably isn't ever getting tea (unless Gil explicitly says Othar gets tea). If you dissed Gil or laughed at Zoing's hat, you're probably not getting tea. I'd have words with you for making Zoing spite you, but it'd be possible.
You might think of loyalty as a Gryffindor trait, but, let's face it, Zoing is not the bravest.
A full Hogwarts
I swear I didn't pick houses or characters so that I could have a full set, but let's not pretend … I am very pleased by this conclusion. Sorting method a little bit derived from @sortinghatchats, but I didn't want understanding their taxonomy to be required reading (it’s fun though!). And shout out to @circumference-pie without whom this post would have never existed.
Is the size of the Parlor in the Changeling (at least in Ginny's fifth year) about what it would be at any given period, or would it's size change based on the number of potential sisters? And as someone not super familiar with harry potter beyond the movies, how big is the population of Slytherin and Hogwarts in general supposed to be (or at least how big do you imagine it in the Changeling/Armistice)?
Well, I would say that The Parlor is not something with a quota to fill or anything. There aren’t a set number of spots to be filled, or a limit as to how many. One of my favorite things to think about in the magical world is that nothing is inert. Even the castle itself is a living being of sorts, something that adapts and changes to the needs of the students living there. Like, imagine all the magic and emotions and experiments all concentrated in that one space for millennia. The castle lives and breathes and adapts, and The Parlor space is no exception. If there were more girls who needed it, it would get bigger. If there was a smaller group of girls for a few years, it would become intimate and perfect for their needs. And since in the fic we saw both the Room of Requirement and The Parlor adapt to Ginny’s needs when she was in hiding her sixth year, allowing her direct access, I think it wouldn’t be completely beyond imagining that if there was a girl in another house that desperately needed it, that maybe other passages would open. Though, in my head, I probably think of the Sorting differently than most. I wonder sometimes if the Sorting is about predicting what the students might need, the possible paths forward for them, rather than an announcement of who they already are fully formed. It’s about who they could be. It’s about what the Sorting might make of them. (But also who they want to be, even if it’s bad for them. Freewill after all.)
As for the overall population of students, I think we are meant to believe that there are ten students in each house, so forty students in each grade, so 280 students. Though, honestly, the idea that there will be twenty boys and twenty girls exactly each year either means there is a larger population of wizarding children and only a specific quota of students get in (which, honestly, when Hagrid says in the first book that Harry’s name has been down for Hogwarts since he was born is a weird statement. If it’s open access, wouldn’t all kids’ names be down for Hogwarts who are magical?). Alternatively, there were five Gryffindor boys and five Gryffindor girls Harry’s year and we all just extrapolated that it must hold true for all other years/houses. Maybe it’s more variable than it appeared.
As for the Changeling verse, I went with the second interpretation (although the first makes more sense to me now, that there is limited admission at Hogwarts, and it allows us to imagine a larger world). Mostly because if Ginny went into Slytherin, are there only four Gryffindor girls her year? Or did she swap with someone? Also, I only gave Ginny three roommates (Bridget, Helena, and Smita). Laziness at that time, probably, but also me side-eyeing the Exactly Forty Magical Children Are Born Each Year In England (And Exactly Half and Half Boys and Girls)!!!
ACOTAR Characters at Hogwarts Part 1
***THIS FEATURES SOME MINOR SPOILERS FOR ACOSF***
This is mostly the main players in the series right now with a couple smaller characters thrown in just because. I’ll be posting a part two with side characters like the other high lords etc. I will not be taking criticism at this time, thank you.
The Inner Circle
Rhysand: Slytherin
Okay, Rhys is a pretty obvious one I think. He’s ambitious, resourceful, and a natural leader. It just makes sense.
Cassian: Hufflepuff
So here’s where I might get some argument. Now, I will admit, I’ve gone back and forth on Cassian myself. I see a lot of people sorting him into either Slytherin (which is absolutely wrong, y’all wild) or Gryffindor. Gryffindor does make sense for him and I can see that, but hear me out. Cassian, at the end of the day, is a Hufflepuff. He’s a lover and he’s ultra loyal and dedicated to the people he loves. He’s a hard-worker who doesn’t give up on anybody or anything. Plus, he’s just there for vibes and a good time which is big Hufflepuff energy. Cassian is a Hufflepuff, nobody can change my mind.
Azriel: Ravenclaw
Az was a tough one to pin down, but I think Ravenclaw suits him. He’s kinda the weirdo of the group, and of course, he’s all about collecting info and intelligence, being a spy.
Feyre: Slytherin
Again, this one just makes sense. She’s ambitious and cunning. Her entire character arc for the first book was mostly based on her sense self-preservation, and learning to care for people outside of herself.
Morrigan: Gryffindor
Mor is another obvious one to me, though there might be some argument for Slytherin. I think Gryffindor suits her better, though. She brave to the point of being chaotic. She wakes up and chooses violence everyday. She’s also wildly impulsive. Big Gryffindor energy.
Amren: Slytherin
Of all the Slytherins on this list, I think Amren is the most blatantly Slytherin one. Not only that, but she pushes Feyre and Rhys to be more Slytherin-like. She’s ambitious and is all about self-preservation. She wants Rhys to be more in control than he already is, as evidence by her explaining to him that he could basically use Nesta as a weapon to become High King. I don’t think there’s any argument here.
Nesta and Elain + friends
Nesta: Hufflepuff
And again, some argument might come with this one. Like Cassian, I think an argument could be made for Nesta being in another house (namely Slytherin or even Ravenclaw), but she’s a Hufflepuff at the end of the day. She’s not particularly ambitious or cunning, this is made obvious by the fact that she didn’t give a shit about her power, and she didn’t care when Lanthys gave her visions of being High Queen. She just wanted to be with Cassian, and her friends. She’s also fiercely loyal and dedicated when she truly cares about someone, and even when she doesn’t care about people in some cases, Mor being a great example. The two of them aren’t necessarily besties, but she hated Eris just on the premise that he harmed Mor. And she also loves very deeply, even though she doesn’t show it in the same way as Cassian and other characters. She’s a Hufflepuff with some anger issues.
Gwyneth: Ravenclaw
This is another obvious one. She gives off big Luna Lovegood energy. She’s an adorable weirdo, and she’s obviously super intelligent. She’s the one who did all of the research and told Nesta and Emerie about the Valkyries, after all.
Emerie: Slytherin
Emerie was another hard one to pin down, but after consideration I finally settled on Slytherin. I think she shows a lot of ambition and a good sense of leadership throughout ACOSF. She takes over her father’s shop when he dies, and fights anybody who tells her otherwise. She has big ambitions of being more than a shopkeeper, even though she’s an Illyrian female with clipped wings. She doesn’t let it hold her back.
Elain: Hufflepuff
So we obviously haven’t seen a lot of Elain in the books. I’d really like to see her character developed in a book based solely on her in the future so we can get more details about her character, but based on what we have seen she’s pretty obviously a Hufflepuff. Loyal, kind, hard-working.
Nuala and Cerridwen: Ravenclaw
I put them together because I kinda make the same argument as Azriel for both of them. They’re both spies, so they’re obviously into collecting info. I could also see Hufflepuff. Don’t really feel to strongly about this one.
The Redemption Arc Trio
Lucien: Hufflepuff
First of all, I know Lucien didn’t really have or need a redemption arc, I just didn’t know where else to put him. I think he’s pretty obviously a Hufflepuff. He’s loyal to the point of blindness when it comes to Tamlin and the Spring Court. He’s also just a soft boy who wants to love and deserves to be loved.
Tamlin: Ravenclaw
A lot of people place Tamlin in Slytherin, but I don’t think that quite suits him. He’s not particularly ambitious and he’s not a natural leader, like Rhys. This is made obvious in the fact that he hasn’t changed much about his court since he became High Lord, he’s kept all of the same traditions and rules in place, and followed his father’s lead. He’s only High Lord because there was no other choice. As for why I chose Ravenclaw, I think Tamlin is an artist at heart. He’s obviously very creative if he composes his own music and plays the violin so this fits a Ravenclaw vibe.
Eris: Slytherin
Eris is a Slytherin through and through. He’s ambitious and has big plans for his court when/if he becomes High Lord. He’s also shown that, in his mind, the ends justify the means. As shown by him offering to kill his own father because he thinks it will benefit his court to have a new High Lord. I don’t think you could make an argument for any other house here.
Exchanging some thoughts:
Nobunaga: I think your arguments for placing him in Ravenclaw are very convincing and would agree. In a world, where he didn’t see it necessary to burden himself with some crazy ambitious goal for “the common good”, I think Nobunaga would be even more individualistic than he already is in canon. Therefore, Nobunaga would be a dominant Ravenclaw with a major Slytherin streak. Alignment of both, character and values with Ravenclaw AND Slytherin (but less important).
Hideyoshi: You might have mixed up things here: “upright, just, loyal, and self-sacrificing” are traits that would fit more with Hufflepuff’s values (“hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty) than Gryffindors (“bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry”). Doesn’t mean that Hideyoshi is not brave or chivalrous, but based on the traits you named, he would fit more in Hufflepuff. I would argue against a simple “upright” though: Contrary to most of the other warlords, Hideyoshi is from a very common background, meaning, that he had clawed his way up. Additionally, either in an event or a main route, Hideyoshi has alluded to his more “rougish” past and how he is not above “lower” methods, when someone was threatening MC (or some of the other warlords, I don’t remember this exactly). Thus, I would argue that Hideyoshi would be a dominant Hufflepuff with a dormant Slytherin streak. Alignment of character and values with Hufflepuff.
Masamune: I agree. If we try to be very nuanced, I’d throw in that he might have a small Ravenclaw streak: For all his charge-first-question-later ways, he exhibits sometimes exhibits quite level-headed wisdom e.g. when Nobunaga was thought to be dead in Hideyoshi’s route, Masamune calmed down the other grieving warlords, when he noticed Mitsuhide’s feelings for Hideyoshi’s MC, or in Mitsuhide’s route, when he explained Mitsuhide’s job and burden to a preachy MC. As you said, he’s also pretty open-minded himself, which I attribute to Ravenclaw. So perhaps, a Gryffindor with some Ravenclaw sprinkles. Alignment of character and values with Gryffindor.
Ieyasu: I agree. Aside from Mitsuhide, Ieyasu could also be comparable to Severus Snape because of his past. But Slytherin aside, I would argue that Ieyasu would also be closer to Ravenclaw than Hufflepuff. Hufflepuffs are straightforward, which Ieyasu, by his own account, is decidedly not. He also seems to be the biggest scholar, second only to Mitsunari. As such, dominant Slytherin with a major Ravenclaw streak. I’d even argue, that Ieyasu’s still a "green” (haha.) Slytherin. Thus, as of now, alignment of values with Slytherin and character more with Ravenclaw.
Mitsunari: Also agree. He’s comparable to Luna Lovegood. Additionally, if we try to be very nuanced, I’d attribute Mitsunari some Slytherin-ness: He has been noted by the others to be the most effective = pragmatic strategists. Meaning that to him, a lot of times, the result justifies the means. MC herself has noted Mitsunari’s fascination for how a deadly (by MC’s standard cruel) strategy has played out beautifully, notwithstanding his usual gentleness. So, a Ravenclaw with some Slytherin sprinkles. Alignment of character and values with Ravenclaw AND Slytherin.
Mitsuhide: Probably the most obvious. Once again, trying to be very differentiated, I’d hypothesize some Gryffindor-ness: You have to be crazily daring and kind of chivalrous to do his job, which he doesn’t want anyone else have to do. And yeah, he’s comparable to Snape, so this would fit too. Dominant Slytherin with a small but iron-cored Gryffindor streak. Alignment of character and values with Slytherin.
Kenshin: I agree, Gryffindor all the way. Where I would disagree: He wouldn’t fight dirty, but Kenshin would definitely break some rules outside of it. Or rather he’d break the rule of not fighting and no conflict. Kenshin is VERY obstinate, I think he would be one of the students who’d actually cause a lot of headaches for his prefects :D. Alignment of character and values with Gryffindor.
Shingen: I disagree. Slytherin’s traits “ambition, leadership, self-preservation, cunning and resourcefulness” do not require one to desire power for themselves because of selfish reasons. They can desire to gain power for others. Or put another way: For his people, Shingen desires power to protect them. One does not exclude the other. His spy network, his minor manipulations of his MC, his real feelings concealed in “jokes” (similar to Mitsuhide), all of this fits Slytherin. To me, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are both not distinct enough in Shingen. And him being a Slytherin would also be a great foil to Kenshin’s Gryffindor-ness. Frenemies forever <3. Alignment of character and values with Slytherin.
Yukimura: I’d sign this. His tsundere-ness aside, Yukimura exhibits “classic” chivalrousness e.g. the manner in which he saved MC from rolling down the cliff. He’s comparable to Ron Weasley. And him being yanked around by a Slytherin-boss makes this only funnier :D. Being more differentiated: He’s the most hands-on warlord, so pretty hardworking, his loyalty to Shingen rivals Hideyoshi’s loyalty to Nobunaga and you need a lot of patience as Shingen’s wrangler. The forest-story aside (he’s never gonna live this down), he’s also pretty earnest and straightforward in dealing with fangirls. Thus, dominant Gryffindor with a side of Hufflepuff. Alignment of values and character with both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff (but character a bit stronger with Gryffindor and values a bit stronger with Hufflepuff)
Sasuke: I wouldn’t disagree that Sasuke has some obvious Ravenclaw traits. But I’d argue that another house would fit him even more: Slytherin. “Self-preservation, cunning and resourcefulness”. Who if not Sasuke? You can’t survive Sengoku as a modern-times person with bookish Ravenclaw traits alone! In fact, Slytherin traits would be more important. And… you said Yukimura already wears red, so Sasuke already wears green? And to mirror his BFF who’d work for a Slytherin-boss as an exasperated Gryffindor-retainer, Sasuke “suffers” as a Slytherin-underling under a Gryffindor-boss. Sasuke and Yukimura would be the healthy example of a Slytherin-Gryffindor friendship to their bosses’ more dysfunctional relationship to each other. This four-way dynamic in Kageyama is too funny to be ignored :DDD. So for Sasuke, dominant Slytherin with a major Ravenclaw streak. Alignment of values with Slytherin (he really values his resourcefulness in order to protect MC) and Ravenclaw.
Kennyo: I don’t have a good enough grasp on his personality, so no argument here from me.
Ranmaru: I tend to agree. In an improved situation, I could see him making a transition a la Hideyoshi: putting his Slytherin-ness to sleep (and only pulling it out when absolute necessary) and living out his Hufflepuff-ness.
Yoshimoto: I think that while some traits could be attributed as traditional Hufflepuff traits, they are not exclusively Hufflepuff. Taking everything, you mentioned and adding his pacifism borne out of loss, is a pretty wise thing which displays Yoshimoto’s forward thinking. So, maybe dominant Ravenclaw with some Hufflepuff sprinkles. Alignment of character and values with both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff (but character stronger with Ravenclaw and values maybe stronger with Hufflepuff).
Motonari: I also don’t have a good enough grasp on his character, but what you wrote seems pretty convincing, especially the Bloody Baron part.
Hogwarts Students HCs
Also posted on AO3. I once had this planned as an AU, but I recently realized the worldbuilding works a lot better as headcanons. Ive sat on these for a long, long time because of the discourse with She Who Shall Not Be Named. I do not mean to bring up painful memories for anyone, I just wanted to have some fun in a world Ive enjoyed over the years.
Nobunaga - Ravenclaw
Nobunaga is always interested in learning of technology, information, and ways of life beyond the island of Japan. He wants to know as much as he can from the Potuguese traders. While Nobunaga could also be a Slytherin for his desire to dominate Japan, in a world where magic exists and he is not fighting the wars of the Sengoku, I think he would be more interested in learning than in fighting. Therefore, I have put him in Ravenclaw.
Hideyoshi - Gryffindor
Gryffindor is a simple choice for Hideyoshi. Always upright, just, loyal, and self-sacrificing, he is a classic fit. And he’s the most likely to have a grudge against Slytherin's methods.
Masamune - Gryffindor
I put Masamune in Gryffindor because of his headstrong, charge-first-ask-questions-later attitude. I think it's a very Gryffindor trait. Out of the warlords in Gryffindor, I think he’d be the most likely to have a bunch of Slytherin friends; he doesn’t judge on house but on ability, and Slytherin are certainly a capable lot. He often ends up the victim of Hideyoshi’s chastisement over his choice of friends.
Ieyasu - Slytherin
Ieyasu’s motivations in his own route focus on power. He has been powerless in the past, as a hostage of the Imagawa. And he never wants to be in that place again. He wants to prove his ability, and be stronger than those who have oppressed him; never again to be the victim. For this reason, I think he’s a Slytherin, as opposed to a Hufflepuff. Who's to say you have to be a Hufflepuff to like plants and healing?
Mitsunari - Ravenclaw
This one was easy, as we all know Mitsunari’s propensity to get lost in a sea of books. I like to think that he reads so often that he entirely forgets to attend class. The professors have tried to have him reprimanded for this but as he always knows so much more than the other students, Mitsunari manages to get away with his behavior.
Mitsuhide - Slytherin
Sneaky. Slippery. Secretive. These are all things that describe Mitsuhide and Slytherins. He respects the order of Slytherins, but also fights it. He occupies the darkness, the space behind everyone’s backs, never admitting what he is really up to. He embraces this dismal role to protect those outside of its clutches, much like other well-known Slytherins have done--or more appropriately, have been forced to choose. I think Mitsuhide would be mighty good at potions, as well as a skilled duelist.
Kenshin - Gryffindor
Kenshin is noble, honorable, and will stand by what he believes is right regardless of what other people try to convince him to do. Both Slytherin and Gryffindor like a good fight, but because of Kenshin’s upstanding values in a fair fight, he wouldn’t play dirty the way a Slytherin would. Thus I think he’d be one of the few Gryffindor’s who actually followed the rules, haha.
Shingen - Gryffindor / Ravenclaw
Shingen… this one is one of the hardest to pin down for me. I think he has traits of a Gryffindor in the loyalty to his land and to his people. But also traits of Ravenclaw in his tangled web of information which he manipulates like a well-trained puppetmaster. I guess that gives him a little bit of Slytherin aspects too. Though I don't think Slytherin would be a good fit for him though, as he desires power not for himself but for the people. Therefore I’m going to say he leans a bit more Gryffindor than Ravenclaw, but he could really be either.
Yukimura - Gryffindor
I imagine Yukimura is the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor. He already wears red, so its not that much of a change for him. He’s active and sporty, but yet respects the rules and the right thing to do. Most of the time. We won't talk about that one time out in the woods, he’s not proud of it either. Overall, like Hideyoshi, I think Yukimura is a pretty classic Gryffindor.
Sasuke -Ravenclaw
How could our astrophysicist ninja be anything but a Ravenclaw? The amount of learning, innovation, creativity, and tenacity it takes to track wormholes without the equipment and technology of the modern day is astounding. Let alone the sheer amount of math.
Kennyo - Hufflepuff
Kennyo is a big, softie and you can't change my mind. He loves all the things Hufflepuff stands for: hard work, nature, animals, kindness, etc. Kennyo won't hurt a fly if given a chance, and nor would a proper Hufflepuff. He embraces the common man, and rejects the racism of Slytherin, the elitism of Ravenclaw, as well as the arrogance of Gryffindor. Kennyo is the epitome of a Hufflepuff.
Ranmaru - Hufflepuff / Slytherin
Ranmaru is a strange one to place because he is a ninja of many secrets, loyal to opposing sides and stuck in the middle. I think he wants to be free of the tight-rope he walks daily, and if he is, he would likely embrace the philosophy of Hufflepuff in order to keep other people from being stuck in the same painful position he had been in. I also think he would make a damn good Slytherin.
Yoshimoto - Ravenclaw
Yoshimoto is interesting because his love of the aesthetic and art would seem to place him in Ravenclaw. And yet his desire to do nothing, to live out the remainder of his days in quiet obsolescence, can also be very Hufflepuff. They’ve cornered the market on cottage-core, after all. He desires to be left alone to admire the things he finds beautiful. I picture him kinda like the curator of a small, private museum. Ths collection of things are the beauties that give his life meaning, and it doesn’t matter if it's just a strange mushroom. He doesn't want to be bothered by anything else. He’s a rather eccentric Ravenclaw, who can be found admiring unnoticed artifacts in the castle instead of attending class. He’d get more detentions, but too many people are so entranced by his own beauty that they forget what they were upset with him about. He’s quite proud of how proficient he is with that charm.
Motonari - Slytherin
Motonari was almost a Gryffindor for his utter disregard for the rules. But I think his “watch the world burn” mentality fits into Slytherin more. Slytherin likes order to Motonari’s chaos, but I think it's the place that is most conducive to his out-for-no-one-but-myself attitude. I imagine that he’d be on good terms with the Bloody Baron, and there are stories after he graduates akin to the horror stories told at teenage sleepovers created about Motonari’s school years.
Never read the books nor watched the movies 😑
My bff's hyper fixation kinda rubbed off of me 🤷🏻♀️
Watching this video rn
I feel like I just have to accept my identity as a Slytherin, maybe I am cunning, sarcastic and ambitious but like really nice smh.
Just throw the whole sorting hat away.
Omg I love when my friends validate me hehe
I'm the enfp-aries-slytherin combo, I bring a lot of things to the table especially chaos and entertainment (and neurodivergence probably)
It also means I like to lay on the floor in my room and never go out of my house (I also have a shitty attention span and friends who i forget exist)
Headcanons Pt 3 - Sorting
So, this is how it's going to go; I'm gonna list a Sans, their Hogwarts house, and why they're there and not elsewhere. I know houses are subjective, but I don't care. It's a fun activity I do with fandoms to familiarize myself with the characters. What traits would place them where, and which would make them seem out of place. How would relationships work across houses? How would they react to being sorted? All that jazz. Starting off with the Gang
Nightmare's Gang:
Horror: Hufflepuff
Was so close to being sorted into Gryffindor. He would have been uncomfortable there, but reckless abandon and pure determination are practically the only two things you need for that house. Both of which he has. He would take a bullet for his friends but would struggle when being put in a situation as a leader. This house also sits closer to the kitchens, so he'd feel right at home. I feel his character too soft and squishy to be sorted elsewhere. (Yes, I am aware of his past, but in a sympathetic Nightmare's Gang, where he'd be allowed to grow and recover, he just becomes a giant teddy bear, leave me alone!!)
Killer: Ravenclaw
Despite his stunning lack of awareness or book smarts, Killer would likely be sorted into Ravenclaw. I find that most of my sorting activities have a prankster character or two in this house. There is a level of cunning needed to pull off more elaborate pranks. He would not like this. Ravenclaws are nerds, he is not a nerd. That aside, he is still somewhat into science like most Sanses seem to be. As much as he is to rush into battle, he tries to at least have some semblance of a plan.
Dust: Ravenclaw
This sorting takes advantage of Ravenclaw stereotypes, Dust being book smart and skilled enough to be Nightmare's right hand. A strategist. He teetered on the edge of ending up in Slytherin, but his lack of wanting to lead on his own keep him out. As well as the fact that he prefers to be quiet, not speaking up even when it might be more necessary. He also has the makings of a Hufflepuff, with his unwavering loyalty and general friend-shaped-ness, as prickly as he may be.
Cross: Gryffindor
The Hufflepuff-iest Gryffindor to ever exist. Sir wants to be a side character but the world won't let him. He wants to follow Nightmare, protect his friends/found family, and will do anything to make that happen. As it is, he's also fairly ambitious, a great leader when the need calls for it, and so self-sacrificing that that one trait alone would have landed him here anyway.
Nightmare: Ravenclaw
A Gryffindor-leaning Raven if you will. Again, he falls into the traditional book smart category of this house. His wit allows him to lead, but he's not dumb enough to run into a battle unprepared. He has a right hand to act as a second opinion, making sure everything is tactically sound. He would kill and die for his found family and they are the only people who would make his reckless enough to make him a Ravenclaw-leaning Gryffindor. He has a handful of Hufflepuff traits, being loyal to a fault and a bit more trusting than one might expect for someone with his past.
Error: Slytherin
The first and only of the Gang sorted here. Despite not being the most morally bankrupt character out there, he finds his sorting helps with his job. He obviously keeps the people he cares about close, but anyone beside them can rot. It's his job to destroy things so the world doesn't collapse on itself, he can't afford to care about much. He is also incredibly ambitious, but not stupid enough to think his goal is an easy one.
Star Sanses:
Ink: Slytherin
The main reason for this sorting is the lack of emotions. Even with them, he is chaotic. He has a small group of friends that he keeps close. His goal is a lofty one, creating to maintain the balance. But he oft creates too much, leaving Error to deal with it. Quite impatient, but also silly and cunning. Cannot look before he leaps and refuses to try, a trait that is scarily common in Slytherins and Gryffindors.
Dream: Hufflepuff
Despite the lack of side character vibes, this man does not want the spotlight. He's Cross if Cross ended up in Hufflepuff. Slightly Gryffindor-leaning. He's a charismatic leader type, but his strengths are in his loyalty and friend-shaped-ness. He's also not as reckless or brash as Gryffindors or their scaley counterparts. Prefers to stay out of the action when possible and would only fight for others.
Blue: Gryffindor
As stated prior, Blue is the only Gryffindor of the Stars. He has all the makings of a classic Gryffindor hero, minus the reckless abandon. He is great at leading and properly motivated. Perhaps a bit self-sacrificing, but that's par for the course. He tends to get drawn into battle whether he likes it or not and will not stand very any injustice. He has a rigid moral compass and is very honest. Since Blue is also a model friend, he also is quite Hufflepuff in design. Love this guy.
If I didn't make it obvious through all that, Gryffindor and Slytherin are houses that lack the ability to fear. And that's not a good thing. Perfect for heroes, but anyone else? Not so much. I'm a Huffpuff, and the more I favor a character, the more likely they are to end up in that house. I think it's just because I like those kinds of characters, but Dream is an outlier in this situation. I feel like all the Slytherins and Gryffindors are somewhat interchangeable, given how close those two houses seem to be. I also refuse to change my stance on Ravenclaw Killer. The lack of braincells that he has active at any given time makes the sorting funny, but he does use them sometimes, which is why he's there.
If you want to see what I have to say about certain Sanses, you can always request them. I'm likely going to stop after Pt 4, in which I'll be covering the remaining CQ bros, Ccino, Crop, Reaper, and maybe TK and Lust.
