OUAT Sorting; Rumplestiltskin/Mr Gold

There is not a Gryffindor bone in Rumplestiltskin’s body; he is a coward to the core. A Hufflepuff trait is fair-play, and whilst he comes close, his deals wouldn’t exactly be described as fair. However, he does go after The Dark One originally so that he can look after his son. He possesses the Slytherin traits of cunning and resourcefulness, however I believe he is more suited to Ravenclaw. He is beyond intelligent, knowing how everything will play out before it does. He is inventive & creative, with his deals and how he plays with other people and their emotions. He learns quickly and is definitely full of wit.

People seem to make the mistake of thinking of houses in terms of good and bad - Gryffindor and Slytherin, and forgetting the other houses. This is wrong. Good and bad is also subjective. Rumplestiltskin may be on the lower end of the morality scale, but it is his intelligence and creativity that define him. And whilst his deals don’t necessarily work out in anyone else’s favour, that is their own lack of intelligence or foresight, as he always explains clearly that his magic will have a price. Ravenclaw.

OUAT Sorting; The Evil Queen/Regina

She’s manipulative and will do anything to get her revenge on Snow, despite Snow apologising for what she’s done. Regina has disregarded her loved ones’ lives to achieve her own ends. She has even used children and allowed them to die to get what she wants. Ambition, cunning & leadership are all Slytherin traits, and there’s nothing Regina loves more than to have people do as she says. Slytherin.

artdecadence:

OUAT Sorting; Emma

Hufflepuff. To me, this doesn’t even need to be explained. A lot of people have placed Emma in Gryffindor, but the basis of that seems wrong to me. They’re saying she’s above everything else brave and courageous. However, she is only these things when a loved one is in danger or has troubles. She stayed in Storybrooke and constantly faces Regina’s wrath because she loves Henry and wants to make sure he’s as happy as she can make him. She went after Mary Margaret, despite the warning of losing her job, because she cares for her and she means a lot more to Emma than the Sheriff job does.

These all shout out Hufflepuff to me, as she is full of loyalty and devotion. She is hard-working in that she will never back down to Regina, no matter what she will keep trying. When anything other than her loved ones are threatened, she still believes in fair play and was disgusted at the methods Mr Gold employed to get her the job as Sheriff.

artdecadence:

OUAT Sorting; Red/Ruby

Before she knew of her curse, Red wished to do what she wanted and to no longer be under the influence of her Granny’s ‘tyranny’, as she thought it. She behaved recklessly and defied her Granny’s wishes to do what she felt was right for her. Later, when she had knowledge of the curse, she let herself turn to give Prince Charming some extra time and a headstart on finding Snow.

Ruby is self-assured and knows how to handle both herself and others. She is headstrong. When leaving Granny’s to find her place in the world, she stood up to someone who has a lot of power over her and bravely disappeared to find her own fate. As it would have it, her fate was back at Granny’s with the person she loves most, however she wouldn’t know that truly without having her adventure. Similarly, when helping Emma as a deputy, despite how scared she claimed to be, she went on and did as she was asked to prove to others and herself that she was brave and could do anything. Gryffindor.

“You haven’t been here for a long time”

I walked in here and I died.

My featherbed is deep and soft, and there I’ll lay you down,
I’ll dress you all in yellow silk, and on your head a crown.
For you shall be my lady love, and I shall be your lord.
I’ll always keep you warm and safe, and guard you with my sword.
And how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree.
She spun away and said to him, no featherbed for me.
I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves, and bind my hair with grass,
But you can be my forest love, and me your forest lass.

What’s the best way to celebrate turning in the last two papers of term? I’ve no idea, but I went with “drink tea and color that picture of Rumpelstiltskin and Baby!Belle-the-mud-monster, a scenario seen in cyprith’s lovely little story Bellow.”  

You are my favorite humanoid right now. I love Rumpelstiltskin’s proud papa face. And Belle still being terrifying on his shoulders. And her little kicky feet. And I love the style you draw in. Especially the scales on his vest and the colors you used.

I just love everything about you. I’m going to print out this picture and roll in it for awhile.

Artist’s Notes: Requested by Valerieparker.I love the effect the filter used on the hands gives, but it takes for. freaking. EVER to render. Between the time it takes to preview the settings and the time it takes to render the final output, I’m pretty sure I could solve world hunger.
