The Artwork, Incidentally, Is Beautiful.
I appear to have been sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore.
Whoops!
Oh, I so wanted to be in Ravenclaw. I really did. But the first question on my Sorting quiz was 'How would you like history to remember you?', and two of the options were 'the Wise' and 'the Good', and I sat there and thought, 'I want to be in Ravenclaw,' and then I thought, '...but I would rather be "the Good".'
And honesty is itself a Hufflepuff trait, so I suppose choosing that option makes me doubly Hufflepuff.
Hufflepuff is a very fine house, and it would have been my second choice, and its badger mascot on Pottermore is completely adorable. But people do tend to underestimate Hufflepuffs, and having my intelligence underestimated is something that I really, really hate. If I actually did attend Hogwarts, the attitude displayed towards Hufflepuff would drive me absolutely mad. (Also, I feel Ravenclaw fits me more closely because it represents not only my good qualities but the really annoying things about me. The really annoying things are a significant aspect of my personality, Sorting Hat!)
In any case, here are some amazing fictional characters who would probably be in Hufflepuff: Fluttershy, Applejack, Zell Dincht (he'll try to pretend he's in Gryffindor; don't listen), Laguna Loire, Sazh Katzroy, Snow Villiers, Blaine Anderson (the fandom tends to put him in Gryffindor because his actor also portrayed Harry Potter, but I don't think Blaine is a Gryffindor at all), Ty Lee, Zuko (he gets very touchy about this; don't mention it to him), Rory Williams, Mickey Smith, Fernando Sucre, Dean Winchester, Maes Hughes, Allison Cameron (borderline Slytherin in later seasons), Dr John 'JD' Dorian, Karen Fisher, Annie Sawyer, Guinevere of Merlin. Yuna of Final Fantasy X, one of my favourite characters ever, is borderline Hufflepuff-Gryffindor, as is Bonnie MacFarlane. Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz vehemently claims to have been a Slytherin, but his student records tell a very different story.
AND NOW MORE RED DEAD REDEMPTION, BECAUSE I CAN'T SHUT UP.
All right. As you may have gleaned by now, I love Red Dead Redemption. I love the world; I love Marston; I love Bonnie; I love my horse; I love the dialogue; I love faffing around in the magnificent wilderness for hours on end, doing nothing that advances the plot but having fun anyway.
There are some things I do not love about this game, however, and I shall now convey one of these to you in poetic form.

dear cougars
please stop killing my horse
you're awfully pretty and furry, of course
but I wish you would show just a hint of remorse
:( :( :(
I particularly hate the cougars because they've made New Austin scary for me. The game is so beautiful and I just want to ride for hours, but whenever I venture out of the cougar-free haven of Mexico I'm on edge because at any moment a cougar could come along to ruin my day. (When a cougar does kill my horse, I have to reload. I can't help it. By this point, I have become so attached to my Kentucky Saddler that I find myself greeting him with 'Hey, baby' as he approaches.)
You know when you hold a very strong opinion about something and, looking for reassurance that you're not alone, seek others who share that opinion? I became so frustrated with the cougars that I eventually decided to search on Google for others who hated them as much as I did. I think the phrase I chose for my search was 'fuck cougars' or 'fucking cougars'.
This, as you'll probably have guessed, turned out to be a mistake.
Maybe Pottermore was right; I'm really not a Ravenclaw.
