I've been Sorted!
Oct. 27th, 2014 11:31 amA couple weeks ago, I went into ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
platform_934 and asked to be Sorted. It was strange how... personal it felt, answering all those questions, and I spent a week after submitting it wondering how others were going to view me through those answers. Because as deep as those questions went, I still feel like they didn't cover all of what makes me, me, you know? Not that that's surprising, I guess, because I don't think it's really possible for someone to know themselves inside out, let alone other people, and especially not through just reading a questionnaire. So it was a bit nerve-wracking, the entire experience, but I'm glad I did it.
It took a while for the voting members to come to a consensus, which I found vaguely surprising. When I've done things like this before, I've always been Sorted Slytherin, with no hesitation, and nobody who knows me is ever surprised by that. But with this one, there were a lot of votes for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, which I have never gotten before, and quite a few for Ravenclaw, which I could understand a little better. It was really touch and go there for a while, with a lot of voters commenting that I was a mix of all the Houses, but in the end, they voted me Slytherin.
The thing is, absolutely nobody from the Slytherin voters suggested their House for me, which makes me a bit hesitant to join HiH, to be honest. They were all lovely with their answers, don't get me wrong, it just feels a little weird, joining a community where nobody there thinks I belong. I'm not sure what to do with that. I am happy with where I was eventually Sorted though. I really don't think I'd do well in Gryffindor, to be honest.
But anyway, I think this experience has at least shown me that there are reasons why I identify with the Slytherins so much in the series, and why I wish more of that House had been shown within the books, and why I just adore it when fics use Slytherin characters in their stories. I must connect with them personally, and the mix of all the Houses within my personality may be why I adore ensemble cast fics as much as I do.
Here is my post in platform_934, for anyone who wants to have a look at the answers I gave. I'd be interested to see where others would place me, or just what they think of my answers in general.
Now, I have 2 more Rectober posts to write, and then I'm going to get started on commenting on others' posts, because I've been a bit remiss in that recently. I hope everyone has a good week! <3
