Excuse me for not making my own post but like, contra-argument
Wei Wuxian Could be a gryffindor yes, but I raise you Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff
For once, hes an inventor and cares for knowledge for its own sake, instead of for power, he is good at art, hes chaotic, hes weird in a very Mad scientist way, and also hes very smart
On the hufflepuff front, hes very loyal and suprsingly hard working when it comes down to it, and he cares so much for his family and friends (ehich is one of the main reasons someone would sort him slytherin honestly).
Im personally leaning more towards Ravenclaw, but thats definetly personal Bias
Lan Wanji on the other hand.. Gryffindor. Reasons: Hermoine Granger, and by that I mean the way he interacts with rules and morality
Jiang Cheng, sue me hes a Hufflepuff or Slytherin thru and thru and just. His main values are Family and Sect and things like Legacy. Honestly I think both he and Madam Yu are just Slytherins, if he was a Gryffindor he wouldnt have put the well being of his family and sect over “the greater good” in such a pragamtical way
Lan Xichen? Is? A ? Hufflepuff ? No I will not elaborate
Huiasang I can see as a Hufflepuff, but I headcannon him as a Ravenclaw so bad, his main interest is literally art and literature. He does have the animal care which Is quite hufflepuff, and he is fiercly loyal, but hes also creative, a bit of a mess, acts like an airhead and extremly intelegent (He is not a slytherin for the same reason Im not. absolutely no ambition whatsoever)
Wen Ning. well what ambitions does our boy even have? Now see, Wen Qing is definetly 100% a Slytherin, but our boy Wen Ning couldnt be more of a Hufflepuff. He put his family in danger for his friend that he didnt even know That well? Hes extremly loyal and kind and hardworking? Yes he cares greatlu for his family, but he does it in a Hufflepuff way
I can definetly see where your headcannons on this come from, but also i think its really funny how the Jiang Family is basically 2 Hufflepuffs (Jiang Fengiman and Jiang Yanli) and 2 Slytherins (Madame Yu and Jiang Wanyin) and Wei Wuxian is just there like. Neither, no matter if hes a Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, and I can see the story paralell of put everyone from a villainous family in Slytherin, but it just doesnt work for our boy Wen Ning
Of course we all agree Jin Guangyao is a Slytherin, Mingjue I agree, probably a Gryffindor (which does add the fun dynamic of Xichen, wherever hes Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff being the mediator), Jin Zixuan I think gryffindor, Mianmian is very much a gryffindor, but the yellow clothes always make me think a bit of hufflepuff,
The Juniors… i have very little idea other htne Jin Ling is either in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor and Jingyi is definetly in Gryffindor, Sizhui. i just. dont know
Also I recognise that I just placed the Lan brothers places without much reasoning But I do have reasons for it just takes me a lot of trying to put words to connections that seem so obvious in my mind that I avoid doing it. It goes like : Lan Zhan something something morality, something something the rules untill its shown theyre not the most moral, something something yeah he protecc library but so would hermoine, and he acts a lot like her in class just less loud. yes i do find quiet gryffindors hard to comprehend but I feel like if you out him in the good hogwarts house quiz (the primary and secondary one thats quite long) hed come out Gryffindor in the end, because to him being morally 1upstanding is more improtant then the rules and impuslive
And lan xichen… he doesnt care that much for knowedge and also he smokes pot behind the greenhouses with the other puffs
