Hufflepuff aesthetic for Maria Brink.

I’m really enjoying making these aesthetics at the moment...and if anyone says Maria isn’t a Hufflepuff, then you can fight me.

I was tagged by @politicalmamaduck to take a Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quiz and post my results! 

I’m not sure who-all gives a shit about Harry Potter given that I interact in a predominantly Star Wars way over here, but if anyone sees this and goes “dang I wish I’d been tagged in that” I’m tagging you.

Huuuufffffllllleeeeepuuuuuffffff???

I have a feeling that you're a Ravenclaw, or maybe I just want you to be because that's my house.

I’m a Hufflepuff! I guess I was kinda obvious lmao, but I did think I was Ravenclaw for a while in the beginning haha

I think people often forget that commitment to justice is an explicitly Hufflepuff trait, not a Gryffindor one. It’s literally right there in the Sorting Hat’s song in the first book:

You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, And unafraid of toil

By contrast, this is the description it gives Gryffindor:

You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;

Now, being just is arguably one of the chivalric virtues that the Hat identifies as being part of Gryffindor’s core values. Most of the Gryffindors we see in the series certainly care a lot about justice, and I do think that often comes from the chivalrous nature that makes a Gryffindor. 

However, being just or committed to justice is never explicitly connected with Gryffindor, here or (as far as I remember) anywhere else in the books. It arguably falls under the larger category of chivalry, but after all there are a whole lot of chivalric virtues. Justice is only one of many that the Sorting Hat (or, from the Doylist perspective, J.K. Rowling) might have had in mind in that song.

By contrast, it is explicitly named as a Hufflepuff quality - literally the first thing the Sorting Hat tells us about Hufflepuff, in the very first book, is that Hufflepuffs are just. That’s very intertwined with the idea that Hufflepuffs are committed to fairness/fair play, which we see referenced elsewhere, but I think there’s a slightly different connotation to ‘justice’ that people often don’t connect with Hufflepuff. People think of ‘justice’ and they think of that knight in shining armor/righteous warrior mentality, and so think Gryffindor. But in fact, canon tells us it’s a Hufflepuff quality and not necessarily a Gryffindor one.

(It’s also a useful thing to keep in mind when you’re Sorting characters from other series, IMO. When you see a character who’s deeply committed to justice, that should go as evidence in the Hufflepuff column, not Gryffindor. I think that’s a very common mistake people make.)
