so a rant about slytherins
im a slytherin, but it doesnt seem like it on a surface level. i love learning, i draw, and write, and from this could be seen as a text book ravenclaw
i was thinking, and of course the typical things come up, like being sly and cunning. i can be, and can think of specific instances where i have been, and purposefully manipulative.
a trait that only gets brought up when talking about slytherins often being super old fashioned or racist is traditionalism.
but wait, i thought, im not old fashioned. im primarily left leaning.
but despite how harry potter pins it, being conservative, old fashioned, or right wing isnt traditionalism. traditionalism is routine and ceremony. im very traditionalist because i always do birthdays and christmases the same way every year, because i highly value culture and family history, because i dont like unprompted change
conservative politics and traditionalism arent synonyms, show slytherins being slytherins without being arseholes
Ravenclaw: *Struggling to put cover back on box of paper*
Slytherin: …What are you doing?
Ravenclaw: I took of the cover of this box but I can’t get it back on
Slytherin: Why did you even open the box??
Ravenclaw: …to see what this kind of paper smelled like
Slytherin: We all know I just want to see people’s heads on the floor
Hufflepuff: Do you want to see my head on the floor??
Slytherin: No I want to see your clothes on the floor
