Hufflepuffs have always had a pretty bad rep in the hp universe despite being fair, dedicated, and loyal. Through these headcanons, we aim to promote these positive aspects of the house so if you have a headcanon of your own to submit, or simply have a question then just send us an owl!

Do you crave more ✨canon queer stories✨ in your fandom experience? Are you begging for more major character representation that you don’t have to headcanon for yourself?
Then have I got the kickstarter for you!
The Tin Can Bros (a comedy trio and makers of live theatre, digital sketches, webseries, you name it! You might know them from all the work they’ve done with Starkid—founding Tin Can Brothers Joey and Brian played Ron and Quirrell in A Very Potter Musical) are launching a brand new season of projects, most of which contain QUEER MAJOR CHARACTERS AND THEMES. These guys have got gays, they’ve got lesbians, they’ve got trans and gnc characters, they’ve got wholesome first love and Hannigram levels of fucked-up toxicity. It’s a whole cornucopia!! They’re planning to produce work in Los Angeles, NYC, London, Edinburgh, and Adelaide, but there will be digital tickets so you can watch where ever you are!
We’ve got:
-Two Rocky Horror-style concerts of the cult-hit, spy-movie parody musical Spies Are Forever. Gay protagonist who will sear himself into your heart! Seriously, his relationship with fellow spy Owen will emotionally destroy you for at least seven years.
-A concert of the developing musical This Could Be on Broadway, which follows a group of high school kids putting on a production of The Matrix: The Musical (not a show in real life) in their theatre department. A bunch of the central kids are canonically some flavor of queer, and there’s a central, very sweet lesbian romance that includes a trans character. She’s played trans actress Esther Fallick, who also worked with TCB as a consultant to make the character and show as authentic as possible. Seriously, if you want to see a trans teen thriving in their own skin, this is the show for you.
-An Edinburgh Fringe Fest production of The Solve It Squad Returns, a Scooby-Doo parody that follows the parodic versions of the Scooby Gang when they reunite as fucked-up adults to finally confront the almost-twenty-years-past traumatic murder of their dog Cluebert. I promise it’s funnier than it sounds. Esther, the Velma-esque super genius, is gender non-conforming and identifies with they/them pronouns. They also have a girlfriend WITH a boyfriend!
-A workshop reading of the QUEER SCI-FI TELEVISION COMEDY PILOT Intelligent Life. Unlike the other projects I’ve mentioned, this one is new to the TCB fans, but will follow a pair of ex-boyfriends forced to survive together in an extra-terrestrial colony. From the sound of it, there will be plenty of queer supporting characters as well. This frankly sounds like it could be tumblr’s dream show, and it’d be great to support its development.
-The Great Debate—a live comedy game show where comedians debate silly things. While this obviously won’t have narrative gay rep like the other projects, it will showcase gay talent (at the very least, Tin Can Brother Corey will participate in every show) and may include debates involving queer topics.
-Gross Prophets, in which three wannabe gurus/cult leaders lead a seminar on the path to enlightenment. This is a completely new stage musical so I honestly don’t know if it will contain any queer characters or themes. But the TCB queer track record is pretty good!
Guys, I’m so genuinely so excited by this season. But all this awesome queer art won’t happen unless we get their kickstarter funded. And they need our help! So let’s get fundraising!!
TLDR; Comedy group Tin Can Bros are attempting to fund a season positively filled with queer stories and characters, and they need help! If you want to support the creation of queer theatre and the development of queer TV, consider checking them out and giving to the kickstarter!
Spreading the Gospel of Tin Can Bros Across the Globe for Our Ten Year Anniversary
So this is the launch of a new community where we (re)read books together, share our thoughts and hold discussions, get creative, and try and put a bit of good out into the world as we go
After a public vote, we’ll be reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan in support of Save the Children
Rules and general info:
We’ll be reading one chapter a day. You are obviously allowed to read at whatever pace you want but I’ve set a slow pace so people with hectic lives can still get involved
The event will be from the 1st - 22nd April
On this blog, twitter, and instagram I’ll be posting my thoughts and a discussion question for each chapter so feel free to get involved!
You are encouraged to get involved however you want- be creative! Art, videos, your thoughts throughout reading the book, reading in a new language, writing scenes from other characters POVs, posting headcanons, tiktoks, baking blue food; there are loads of great ways to get involved! The more creative the better
Make sure to use the tag #readforchange so we can all join in on each other’s discussions and hopefully make some new friends!
I also thought it would be great to try and tie in the read along to trying to raise a bit of money for charity and you guys selected Save the Children as our first charity
Read here to learn more about Save the Children and what they do
Obviously I’m not expecting us to raise loads but every little helps!
As with the reading, how you want to get involved in fundraising is up to you. You could donate £1, you could use the sponsorship form to raise money from friends and family (especially if you’re doing something creative!), you could hold a bake sale with blue food, or you could help out by sharing the link to the just giving page
This is all meant to be fun, flexible, and low pressure so get involved as much or as little as you want and really make it your own. I can’t wait to see what you all get up to!
Reblog if you’re interested so we can get as many people involved as possible! I’ll be posting reminders as we get closer to the day but I’m so excited and hopefully you guys are looking forward to it too!
My wonderful Niece, who has absotively posilutely no real interest in the potterverse, but has heard her old Aunt Loni talk ad nauseam about Harry Potter (books, movies, play) n her old Aunt Loni's Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff (Go Badgers! Black n Yellow! Black n Yellow!) that she got me this Hufflepuff stuff on Amazon 4 my 63rd Birthday (Hogwarts Class of 1975)! Heart sooo full! Thanx Niece! Love u bunches! 😘😘😘

It’s been brought to my attention that some people don’t have spotify so here’s a list of the songs on the hufflepuff playlist for anyone who wants them! (and here’s the tea I think it’s probably my favourite one) I don’t have the time to put them all onto another platform but hope this is helpful to people!
also here’s a link to the playlist on spotify for those who want it
gran, I’ve lost my toad again, a neville longbottom playlist 02/01/20
so in case you didn’t hear, over the 12 days of christmas I’m going to be releasing 12 different playlists inspired by different characters/locations in harry potter and today’s playlist is inspired by Neville Longbottom
for want of a better word, the vibe I get from this playlist is ‘retro’. idk most of the songs on here aren’t even that old but it just gives me this chilled out vibe of when things were simpler. it’s part nostalgia, part reminding you of your own strength and I think that’s p neat (and v neville)
the tracks aren’t in any particular order so I’d recommend just hitting shuffle but hopefully you can follow the link through to spotify, find it under ravenclaw-headcanons on spotify or if you don’t have spotify you can use the track listing above however you want!
the rest of the playlists will be released one per day until the 6th of January but please feel free to keep sending in submissions! the playlists still to be released are: Harry, Hogwarts, Durmstrang, The Burrow
so summary: the playlist is up on spotify, submissions for other playlists are very much still open, and let me know what you think- hopefully you enjoy it!
I’m hoping to do some good in the world, a hermione granger playlist 01/01/20
so in case you didn’t hear, over the 12 days of christmas I’m going to be releasing 12 different playlists inspired by different characters/locations in harry potter and today’s playlist is inspired by Hermione Granger
this playlist is so hermione you guys did a great job. it’s equal parts ‘I’m powerful and unique and strong and I deserve to be treated with respect’ and ‘I’ve never really fitted in and sometimes I just feel so alone’ which tbh might be a weird combo but I think it sums up hermione perfectly and I love it
the tracks aren’t in any particular order so I’d recommend just hitting shuffle but hopefully you can follow the link through to spotify, find it under ravenclaw-headcanons on spotify or if you don’t have spotify you can use the track listing above however you want!
the rest of the playlists will be released one per day until the 6th of January but please feel free to keep sending in submissions! the playlists still to be released are: Harry, Neville, Hogwarts, Durmstrang
so summary: the playlist is up on spotify, submissions for other playlists are very much still open, and let me know what you think- hopefully you enjoy it!
