COMMON TUMBLR BEHAVIOUR BY HOGWARTS HOUSE:
Gryffindor
Gryffindors are often those blogs that you see adding their own commentary to every post they make, original or reblogged. They often do this within the actual post itself, rather than in the tags, because that makes it more clear, and that is what they want. Gryffindors want to be noticed, and they want their opinions shared, and blogging is a very simple way to do that. Gryffindors are also very commonly reblogging about issues they care about, and doing this constantly and without any shame. Their strong values come into play with this, and they are this way not only with real life issues but with fandom. If they love a specific movie, ship, or what have you, they will show it; if you feel the need to bash that thing on their dash, you’ll never hear the end of it. Gryffindors being social, also want to have many followers and recognition. Not necessarily to have the most followers (though they appreciate that a lot, also), but because they enjoy having a large array of people in which to speak with.
Hufflepuff
Not unlike Gryffindors, what you find on the blog of a Hufflepuff will be what you would find in their heart. They are things they care about, issues or things that may seem trivial but have some form of deeper meaning to them. They will often not express this meaning in a direct and blunt form, because they feel uncomfortable doing that. They mostly want their blog to be a welcoming place, and appreciate every follower they get because they feel as though their blog represents all that they enjoy, and through their followers they feel approval. That said, Hufflepuffs don’t pull punches either, and aren’t going to post about things they don’t care for, or vice versa not speak on things they are concerned with. Everything a hufflepuff does is a piece of them, and that includes blogging. Though they may not be quick to socialize with others, if you are to communicate through a hufflepuff via their blog, they will be incredibly friendly and welcoming to you.
Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw bloggers do not often let the ideas and views of others get in their way. Ravenclaws are naturally intellectual artists, and everything which they have is a canvas, including a blog. They may not have the busiest blog at times, because they don’t want to reblog or post everything in sight. If they enjoy it, it makes clear sense to them and they find it stimulating, then they will, but they think it through as they do with everything. They are not shy to give their opinions, but they are often a bit more blunt in this area than would be a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. They will put their most notable points within a post, and leave the details either unsaid or in the tags. A blog to them is what is important, so they don’t want theirs to be at all trivial. Followers are not a large concern for them, but those that they do have they will treat with consideration and accommodation.
Slytherin
Aside from Gryffindors, many more well known blogs on tumblr are run by bloggers whom are Slytherins. This is due to not only their ambition, but their natural ability to impress. Slytherins are very sure to keep with their own ideas, but they will also glitter them to the fullest extent, making them appealing even to the most hesitant of persons. This makes them have a draw that many others enjoy. Slytherins are as strongly into saying what they think as are Gryffindors, however they are a bit more subtle about it. You will often find snakes with a swarm of tags under their posts, because that is where they would rather vent instead of cover a post with words; this counts even more so if said post is a graphic or photoset. Aesthetics is a very pleasant thing, and this means a Slytherin blogger will often be well organize and have everything looking clean and precise. Slytherins enjoy having plenty of followers because it makes them feel more sure in themselves, though they also have no problem losing some if it is for good reason. They have a hard time sugar coating things, but they still do appreciate those who are kind to them, and try to be as cordial as possible.

Anonymous asked: It kind of bothers me how so many Hufflepuff asks show people completely freaking out and spazzing all the time. My ‘puff friends and I are rarely like that, and it’s kind of predictable to see in the responses…. Would you consider trying to have some more realistic Hufflepuff answers?
Hey there anon, this is Amy, one of the Hufflepuff admins. I will be quite honest and say that I’m not sure which posts you are looking at that show ‘Puffs overreacting or spazzing out (in inappropriate situations… have you SEEN Game of Thrones ;P)? I understand how you feel, as “stereotypical” responses get old fast, and responses I’ve seen in the Hufflepuff tag often portray us as overly silly or spazzy. However, and again I’m being honest, being silly is a part of my general personality and, although each Hufflepuff is different, it’s a trait that I share with other Hufflepuffs I know in my life. The posts that have been answered by me are actual reactions that I have to the situation presented, sometimes with a twist of me trying to show additional loyalty or work ethic. No two Hufflepuffs are ever the same, so people’s reactions are not going to be exactly the same. Just please know that any posts that I answer are honest reactions and nothing I do is with the intention of misrepresenting Hufflepuff. I will, however, try to make sure that I am not deliberately picking “spazzy” gifs in situations that do not call for it.
Thank you for your message.
-Amy (Hufflepuff)
I’ll say something as well but it’s pretty much reiterating everything Amy has said. Every question that I have answered is either how I have reacted to a situation if I have been in it before, or how I would believe to react to the situation if I have not yet experienced it. The reason why I answer them the way I do is because sometimes I can be the stereotypical Hufflepuff, if you ask anyone I know they would probably agree with me and say that I am sometimes overly lovey and emotional and silly. Every one’s different, even if they’re in the same house, some people are stereotypical to their house and some are completely outside of the box. I don’t try to offend anyone and if I do, I apologize. And I will try harder to pick gifs that don’t seem overly “spazzy” in the future.

The Ravenclaw response on the cancer one was really good. I have a chronic illness (not terminal, thank goodness), and as a Ravenclaw I went through that exact same thing. Trying to be strong at first even though your sad and having the 'single tear' moment, then giving. Big f you to my disease, and then whenever anyone asks about it, we'll, shit happens! You guys rock! Don't forget to be awesome :)
Oh man thank you!!
DFTBA!
pancakebatters asked: Each of the houses reacting to their child wanting to pursue a career in the arts instead of going to college and getting a “useful” degree?
Gryffindor:
Gryffindors are passionate and often impractical people. We do what we love. We don’t usually want office jobs. Plus, I seriously wouldn’t be allowed to complain if my kid wanted an “impractical” career.
*Fun Fact: I’m getting a degree in fashion design and I started my own business*
Ravenclaw:
I would encourage my kids to do whatever they’re passionate for. There’s no point in doing something your not going to work your arse off for because your hearts not really in it.
Hufflepuff:
Hufflepuffs believe, first of all, to do what you are passionate about. Not only that, but we believe in making mistakes and learning from them. So, if that’s what you want to do, you should do it. If it ends up not being what you thought it would be, well… find something new, something better.
Slytherin:
It’s perfectly fine. But they should be the best at that field to show everyone else that they’re perfect.
tequilapervz asked: There’s always a few odd ones out that seem like they belong in a different house. Please post what the ‘odd ones out’ in each of your houses tend to be like?
Ravenclaw:
The ones that use their smarts for evil and personal gain. They would think very highly of themselves because of their knowledge and not see things from others point of view.
Gryffindor:
Short answer is “the quiet ones”. Neville is a key example. These people are usually adamant about following rules and morals. Unfortunately, they tend to have trouble standing up for themselves. They are stubborn and know what’s right and what’s wrong, but they’re more likely to let other people make mistakes, instead of speaking up.
Hufflepuff:
Gosh, that’s a hard one. I think the “odd ones” in Hufflepuff are the ones who go looking for personal glory; generally, a Hufflepuff doesn’t care about being in the limelight and does things because they need to be done or because they are the right thing to do. I feel like a Hufflepuff who does something solely for the glory and attention would be the odd one.
Slytherin:
Odd ones? Probably the ones that are quick to anger and wear everything on their sleeve. We Slytherin’s like to manipulate a situation to our liking, and that’s much harder to do when you don’t hide things. Also revenge isn’t something served in two minutes; you have to make an elaborate special 3 course dinner out of it.
Anonymous asked: A song for all the four houses :)
Ravenclaw:
A song for each house or all the houses together…?
This question is so hard to answer as there are so many songs out there.
The first one that came to my head though was “Imagine”- The Beatles.
Gryffindor:
This is an overwhelming question.
After several hours of contemplation, I’m gonna go with this. Though I’ll probably change my mind later.
The Mariner’s Revenge Song - The Decemberists
Hufflepuff:
I will be totally honest, since I am not a music person. There is a post with a Hufflepuff fanmix and I totally used that.
Lean On Me - Bill Withers
Slytherin:
Hurt by NIN
or something… that’s a hard question
saritanotserena asked: All houses reacting to the Game of thrones series, Slytherin after their ‘first time’ and All houses finding out they are allergic to their favorite food
Gryffindor:
GoT:
Allergy:
Generally, just a “this is bullshit” then get grumpy anytime its around and you can’t have it. It really depends on the level of allergy though. I know several Gryffindors with lactose intolerance that eat pizza and ice cream all the time. I’m allergic to several things, luckily I never liked them anyway, so it’s really easy to avoid them.

Anonymous asked: There’s a bomb in the Great Hall!!! What do you do?!
Gryffindor:
generally how the 10th Doctor handles distressing situations in general. A moment of panic while he works out an idea and then orders handed out quickly in hopes of fixing it. No time for silly questions now.
Ravenclaw:
Hufflepuff:
We are definitely concerned with making sure that everyone is safe.
Slytherin:
Hide with those who matter but for the most part, save yourself
Anonymous asked: All the houses trying to survive in a zombie apocalypse?
Gryffindor:
We are fighters but we also aren’t stupid. Trying to fight all the zombies at once is generally a bad idea. Trying to find somewhere safe to hold up and kill them off one at a time as they found their way there is just a better tactic.
Ravenclaw:
Get your arse to a decent sized island. Gather stuff on the way and get ready to grow your own food. Zombie’s can’t swim.
Slytherin:
steal everyone else’s shit. Of course.
Hufflepuff:
Basically find someplace safe and secluded to hole up and hide, with plenty of provisions and some weapons for defense. But mostly finding that safe place and not leaving unless absolutely necessary.
