@NeroBernardino@ExamplePrime I would disagree on Gryffindor.
They're closer to loyalty that is highly personal, not idealized.
Hufflepuff embodies fairness, which means its loyalty is related to that.
Hufflepuffs will join you in a fight when you do.
Gryffindors will fight for you before you do.
@thefreespi65329 You simply cannot build a society on the Sith Code.
The Jedi Code can.
Will it be a good society? No.
A happy one? No.
But will you need to fist fight the local baker to prove your strength is greater than his, in order to get some bread? Also no.
@thefreespi65329 Imagine a society composed of only Sith. Pure Sith living according to the Code.
What would happen?
No one would work, only fight.
No one could build for a future, only fight.
No one would prepare for a time when they die.
Because the Code is innately anti-society.
@kyomu_utsuro@CriticalZaku I honestly think it stems from how big America is.
Like random Euros will dog on other random Euros for anything, but not their own country.
While Americans will dog on other Americans for being stupid, and many of us hate California in particular.
@NeroBernardino@ExamplePrime True!
Loyalty is a trait shared by Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Ron just doesn't have any of the others, while overwhelmingly having bravery beyond reason.
Hard work? He'd rather cheat off Hermione.
Humility? The Mirror shows us he wants to be the best.
Patience? Lol, lmao even.
@Onijahat@ReturnedArms You're not wrong on the Galahad thing. That does lend a lot more credence to the idea of Malfoid as a Galahad expy; Malfoys as the Corbenics, fulfilling an instruction from outside the family (prophecy vs Baldy), etc.
@joker3dx@Topovn Fair. But his impulsive bravery remains a core trait for Ron, and that's not a Hufflepuff quality. Ron would have to ask for Hufflepuff.
I think it's neat to explore more of Ron feeling overshadowed, but IMO requires breaking his core Gryffindor nature. Agree to disagree?
@joker3dx@Topovn And I disagree. That trait of Ron's was immediate, and backported to his family rather than a familial trait.
Ron, book 1, throws hands with Draco on total impulse on the train. He's happy and quick to fight for what he thinks is right, and we learn later that's a Weasley trait.
@joker3dx@Topovn Cedric was brave. Newt I can't comment on, as I don't know him.
But bravery and bravery to the point of stupidity is wildly different. Ron is loyal, but he's not especially kind nor diligent. But he has one trait that is a constant: He'll fight you on impulse, win or lose.
@edu_andy24 Yeah, basically. Scottish Tomo-chan. Living life on pure vibes, terrible grades, and way too much heart for her own good. Says all kinds of romantic stuff with zero thought behind it, and Harry's the only one to realize what she sounds like.
@DanGuy96 Daria Morgendorffer simply could not be written by modern cartoon writers.
Both super serious and irreverent, the absolute meanest girl half the time yet can be kind, yet both selfish and selfless.
It's a lost art making a character who is a jerk, yet not cruel.
@Darifleman2c The gun thing is because of 1990-1999 U.K. law. Guns they couldn't really get access to, since most were banned in the late 80s.
Armor though, you're right. Unless magic goes through it or something that's never really addressed as far as I remember.
@MichaelFKane Film does amazingly well with unreliable narrators. Any visual medium, really, does it best. Because we, the audience, get the visual reveal of what is and isn't real through the character's eyes.
@ShitlibRapist ...This is probably the only way to make it work within canon.
But make her an older sister.
It explains why Draco is such a shitty brat, because he's modeling his behavior after his big sister.
@Topovn Fair.
And I realized my comment before sounded too much like criticism. It's good work! Definitely looks better with the background colors and crests.
