jemma: our teammates could be in trouble and there are ashes falling from the sky

inner jemma: hold his hand

Thank yooou, I haven’t been asked either of these two yet soI’ll do them for you now.

Bruce Banner: Ravenclaw

This one I think is fairly straightforward (look! I’m notmaking life unnecessarily difficult for myself! Gold star to me!) but noseriously, I think he exemplifies a lot of the Ravenclaw characteristics.Intelligence is just, well he’s a genius it sort of goes part and parcel doesn’tit?

But he’s not a lazygenius if you catch my drift? He doesn’t take his intelligence for granted andI don’t think it’s something that he thinks is utterly innate in him either, it’ssomething that he hones, something that he shapes, something that he practicesand tries to better every day and that drive, that thirst for knowledge, thatthirst to understand is what really makes him belong in this house I think.

He’s always seeking to understand things, I have so manyheadcanons about young Bruce (and actually Bruce now too, to the Avenger’sfrustration because they can’t make toast at three o’clock in the morning,largely because Bruce has gotten bored and taken it to bits just for the simplepleasure of then putting it back together again, only he didn’t /quite/ getthat far with it) but he’s always wanted to, been driven to, really, understandhow things work and I think he also seeks to push boundaries in this regard inthe name of understanding more which means that this pursuit of knowledge issomething that can take precedence over everything else. He fixates, heobsesses, he tries to learn  not justbriefly he tries to learn everything he possibly can from what’s availablealready and when that material runs out he tries to create his own.

I think Bruce is also actually fairly wise (maybe creatingthe Hulk wasn’t entirely wise but youknow, that was unintentional and comes under the pushing the boundaries in thepursuit of knowledge heading anyway) but I think his stance on things tends tobe rooted in something a bit deeper than surface concerns or observations. He thinksdeeply about things and he draws subtle, telling conclusions from them; Loki’splans in Avengers, his jab at Tony which was correctly identified by Bruce andUltron as well, figuring out that he wants to evolve and deducing from that he’swith Helen Cho. Maybe not wisdom exactly but I think insight and he’s morecautious about certain things than his other team members which again points ata certain wisdom.

Getting slightly into the realms of headcanon but I thinkBruce is quite creative generally. I think he enjoys making things whether itbe an android they now call Vision or scrambled eggs on toast, he enjoysproducing things. I think he’s a good cook and I also think he’s fairly musicaleven if it’s not something he pursues hugely in sight of anyone else (damn thatpiano noir fic it’s skewed me so) either way, this fits with Ravenclaw too.

Just, all in all, Bruce is, as far as I can tell, the posterchild for Ravenclaw house and I love it.

Natasha Romanoff:Slytherin

Nat is much much harder to place than her (only slightly) dorkierhalf because there are so many sides to her (not that Bruce is a 2 dimensionalpaper chain but you know, he is a lot more grounded in his fundamentals, themessy stuff is the emotional part) Nat however I can make an argument as aHufflepuff but in the end I think I come down on Slytherin overall.

For a start I think she’s certainly cunning and manipulativeas well as resourceful. These are all really big traits and they’re all deeplyingrained in her work as a spy and the reason that she’s so good at it. Whenfaced with a knot she doesn’t untangle it or chop through it with a dagger shejust runs around it and confuses it until it undoes itself (okay terribleanalogy, I’m sorry) but she’s not a soldier, or a battle-hardened warrior oranything like that, she has a very specific skillset that she is very acutelyaware of that she uses to her full advantage whenever and however she can.Natasha doesn’t have that chivalric sort of, well stupidity is what I think she’dcall it that would make her fight honourably and lose; instead she fights theway she knows best, with manipulation and strategy and cunning and so she wins,each and every time.

I think there’s also a kind of cold logic and pragmatism toher as well that marks her out as a Slytherin. That little debate she has withSteve ‘everyone up here versus everyone downthere’ Steve wants to save everyone, Natasha’s strategy based brain has alreadykicked in and decided that this isn’t going to work; she’s very much a biggerpicture thinker in general and the way this manifests itself is generally in calculateddecisions most of the other houses wouldn’t make in times of peril.

As a final note she’s incredibly incredibly loyal to her little Avengers family (including andencompassing Nick) and I think there’s a certain sense of, not quite debt andnot quite duty here but she knows what these people have done for her, thechances they took with her and the chances they gave her and that’s somethingthat she remembers, that she’ll remember until her dying day. It’s loyalty that’searned, not blind faith. These people trusted her with their lives; she truststhem in turn and she’d die for them even as they would die for her.

Thank you Sian! ^_^

brightsunshinesmiles replied to your post: Enjoy your holiday! I have a rule when I go away, which is to not check Facebook, tumblr, Twitter, etc, until I get back - have a proper break! I figure if anyone has an emergency, they’ll call me. it’s actually really nice :)

Weirdly enough I was actually thinking about this today! I’ve set up a queue for my blog (I’ve gone completely overboard and put 150+ posts in it), so it’ll run pretty much by itself. I might go cold turkey for a week and not come online at all. As you said, I think it’ll be really nice to take a break from the online world :) I’ll see how I feel when I get there. What a good rule to have though! And thanks so much lovely <3
