Okay... is anyone really surprised that my post is a Hufflepuff-centric one? I haven't really made it a secret that I am a Hufflepuff and I'm immensely proud of my house.

I feel like Hufflepuff gets overlooked. We're accepting and will take people of all types, so I guess people take that to mean that Hufflepuffs are the "leftovers" and the "losers." So not true.

I have always wanted to be a Hufflepuff because their qualities are the ones I value most: kindness, loyalty and compassion. Okay, sure, it's great to be brave and smart and ambitious. If that's what's the most important to you, I'm certainly not against it!

For me, being a Hufflepuff has always meant putting kindness first. It means that being an understanding, non-judgemental person is more important than being an intelligent one. It means that you stick by what you believe in, even if you're made fun of for it. I'm hard-working. I'm fair. I'm tolerant. I'm a particularly good finder! (haha, no I'm not actually... but forget that)

So that is why I proudly wave my Hufflepuff banner. BADGER PRIDE!

    BEST. BLOGSPIRATION. EVER.

    Oh, seriously, I LOVE that it's Hufflepuff-centric, and I love that you're a proud Hufflepuff, because, I mean, what's not to love? Hufflepuffs personify everything that makes a fantastic human being. Friendly, kind, accepting and loyal. Compassionate. Who WOULDN'T be a Hufflepuff?
    *hugs*
    WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! LOVE!

  6. PUFFLEHUFF!!! Okay, so I lovelovelove your post and your badger pride SHINES through <3

    I always considered myself a Hufflepuff and was convinced that if (when) I went to Hogwarts, that's where the sorting hat would place me. Because contrary to what most think, it's COOL! But then Pottermore sorted me into Ravenclaw and at first I thought... oh. But when I read the welcome message, my gosh, I fell in love with my new blue and bronze heart. So while I am apparently a true Ravenclaw and love it, my heart will always have a soft spot for Hufflepuff <3

    I hate reality sometimes. I want to go to goddamn Hogwarts. So. Bad :(
