Official @sortinghatchats quiz!

The time has come! Who wants to try out our @sortinghatchats style sorting quiz? 

Go here and begin your adventure: 

https://ejadelomax.itch.io/sortinghatchats

If you run across any bugs or errors, let us know in the sortinghatchats ask box. If the whole thing just jumps to the top of the page and… shakes… that is a known bug and we’re not sure why it’s happening. But it doesn’t happen very often! (I think it’s to do with the hosting site?)

We had a blast making this quiz, coming up with wording and questions, and testing the paths people can take through the quiz content. We even made some new friends along the way! 

We hope you have as much fun with it as we did. We think this is one of the culminations of our system, especially in terms of making it more accessible for newcomers. Enjoy.

Hermione Granger reading in Gryffindor tower. The autumn vibes are hitting me hard with this one and I’m 100% basic and ok with it.

(yo somebody make a gif of this or something with twinkling stars in the background because i’m too lazy to and just realized it would look hella nice)

Messy sunflowers! I keep seeing my friends post photos of this sunflower field about 20 minutes from where I live. They’re gorgeous of course, and so things have caught on, and just a few days ago it was announced that the fields had to shut down due to volume of traffic; turns out the police weren’t too impressed with the amount of people blocking the roads.

Thus, my dreams of wandering through fields of the sunshine flowers have been temporarily crushed, so I painted them instead as a sort of consolation.

You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, by Sherman Alexie

I've loved Sherman Alexie's writing since I was introduced to it in college in 2005. I read this on audiobook as I usually do memoirs, especially when they are read by the author; but I think it might have been better to read it in physical form, because it is part prose and part poetry and I do better with poetry when I can see it. There are arguments to made in favor of the audiobook as well, however, because he sings certain passages in the traditional manner, and at times slides into the calm, comforting sing-song reservation accent familiar to those midwesterners who have heard it before (once you've heard it, you don't forget it.) Format aside, it was a beautiful, heartbreaking memoir and I especially appreciated the insight as to how his storyteller's mind works. His mother's extravagant lying, his own mind's self-protective trick of rewriting memories to fit his internal narrative of the world (a trick we all share), and, later, the aftermath of a brain surgery; all speak to the reality that the line between fact and fiction is blurrier than we like to believe, and great truths can be found in fiction, great falsehoods in facts.
