everyone like 'tommy shelby gets sorted into slytherin so cunning so machiavelleique oo la la'

nope it's hufflepuff

#tommy's ambition is driven by fear and a desire for safety and acceptance and family #also the violence only happened after the war. tommy at whatever age it is kids get enforced into magic school is hufflepuff #loyalty. strong sense of justice and injustice. patience. propensity for hard work #also leadership but in the thick of herdbonding #ie there is no leader without the herd's acceptance of that leader #and the complete lack of ego ok: like a gryph is brave but still has major ego #hufflepuff entirely about 'everyone does it together' #but you know the concept of school groups forming the entirety of a person's sense of self and personality is flawed anyway XD #i just thought it was funny because every time I see it I'm like #slytherin just does not fit kid tommy. a communist who wanted to change the world and marry the daughter of immigrants #who volunteered for the war with his family because 1) he believed in it? 2) he couldn't break up the family? 3) for money for the family? #....anyway
