i'm a gryffindor primary/slytherin secondary with gryffindor model, which just... wow. i always thought i was a hufflepuff, because i want to help people and be kind, to the point that i retook the pottermore test once a couple years ago and was infuriated when i got gryffindor because "that's CLEARLY incorrect how dare this quiz insinuate such things", but reading this?? holy shit. i want to do the right thing more than anything, i'm outspoken about things i believe in, and i want people to think of me as someone who's honest and principled and kind, but i also definitely have "faces" and have no issue being flexible and presenting in different ways to get what i want out of a situation, and drop those fronts and let myself be blunt and honest without worrying about hurting people when i'm comfortable. damn. and the most surprising thing is that i don't model hufflepuff at all! i definitely think hard work is valuable, but i'm realizing now that i value it because it speaks to the gryffindor/slytherin combo that tells me that hard work is important in order to open doors and prove my devotion/commitment to my beliefs rather than "work is important for its own sake", which is the puff perspective. this is SO COOL. i'm going to make my sister (who is tied very strongly to a slytherin identity) take this and see what she gets.
