tell us abt lucas's house (his hogwarts house, not where he lives in case that wasn't clear xoxo)
miss katelyn i don’t appreciate ur tone !!
but for real, ya boi is nothin more than a straight up ravenclaw. all y’all thinkin i was gna put him in slytherin ? fuckin sike, every single person who’s called me out for writin nothin but slytherins and gryffindors owes me 50 bucks bc he’s ! such a ravenclaw it pains me.
in regards to convention, he’s definitely not the typical ravenclaw portrayed : lucas is very academically smart, but that’s not where his wit and rationality shine through the most. i also think his ranger trope might throw some people off and put him in gryffindor, but that is all just interests. in terms of his actual mindset and personality, yes, he’s loyal and brave, but he’s also logical and seeks to justify each of his beliefs with a valid reason behind them.
he’s adamant in his distrust in eleven at first, refuses to call her el, thinks her claims are trivial and even mocks them, and i don’t care what none of y’all say, it was justified. i love miss jane ives as much as the next person, but when lucas’ friend goes missing and a strange child in a dirty hospital gown and uh, has superpowers suddenly stumbles across them in the same woods will got lost in ? dude.
lucas believed eleven had a connection to will’s disappearance, and ultimately, she did. he made a very logical decision and picked head over heart, while i think he would have had a completely different reaction if they weren’t already looking for will. lucas is very good at setting priorities: find will, keep eleven safe, kill the demogorgon. he has very intense emotions and loves his friends dearly, but he also manages to not let that cloud his judgment in decision-making.
he also fervently avoids the unknown : lucas was the last to accept will may still be alive, because the very real notion of will being dead is less fear-inducing to him than the abstract one of him being in a parallel universe. lucas applies very real concepts to the upside down in order to comprehend it, and mr. clarke’s explanations of concepts are likely super helpful to him in handling the surreal nature of hawkins.
i think he does have some tendencies in both slytherin and gryffindor, and would be tempted to put him in either one, but ultimately his mindset is way too calculative and analytical ( he frequently makes statements in a kind of this happened therefore this is true and that is false, almost like a mathematical equation ) and he has a witty snark that never ends. ya boi’s ravenclaw thru n thru !
