#nct sorting

Taeyong

I couldn’t find the cute gif of him greeting his baby chicks but gosh this boy

HUFFLEPUFF

I originally sorted him into Gryffindor but I forgot what a squish he is with animals

NCT wouldn’t exist without him

not in a “they’d be a messy leaderless group” way but literally they would all be dead if he didn’t feed them and do headcounts dreamies and Lucas I’m talking about you

first of the four “parent line” members

considerate and helpful to others despite the stresses of being leader

responsible and reliable

he has 17 members to care for yet he seems to have a close connection with every. single. person.

his onstage persona is more of a Gryffindor

gives off an arrogant or superior air like some Gryffindors, but that’s all his stage act

boy is FIERCE, playful, and the definition of charismatic

could be why he gets hate but clearly antis don’t see the softy he really is

dabble of Ravenclaw with his hyper-organization, perfectionism, and germaphobia

Taeil

SM’s underappreciated vocal king

HUFFLEPUFF

but for different reasons than Taeyong

hardworking but doesn’t seem to crave attention like the other Houses

always described as a “reliable hyung”

can be passive, willing to overlook others’ mistakes for the sake of harmony and happiness

this boy suffers so many jokes in 127 help him

or don’t, like a true Hufflepuff I don’t think he minds self-sacrificing to please others

when he does express himself you know it’s genuine, he doesn’t play games when it comes to his opinions and feelings

like literally all of NCT he has a dabble of Gryffindor

he’s a playful goof 

yes they’re all crackheads even quiet Taeil

interestingly I thought he’s got a little Slytherin too

he adapts quietly to new situations, particularly in variety shows

he can read the room and knows when to use the energy he has

lest we forget cheerleader Taeil in NCT Life

Youngho (Johnny)

I cried when SM finally released him from the dungeon

SLYTHERIN

I mean you have to be adaptive and loyal to survive almost a decade in SM

one of, if not the best member at solo activities

he was an MC before he debuted like whaat

a genuine sweetheart and goofball

not only does he say what he thinks/feels, but his whole body reacts

you’d know exactly where you stood with him (though he’d be a little more gentle than the rough Slytherin stereotype)

second member of “parent line”

if you come for one of his sons (NCT Dream) he will fight you

in the most dramatic way possible, because he’s a diva

surprisingly he could have been Ravenclaw

he’s intelligent and seems logical

idk he seems like someone to rationalize things before doing them, even if those things make no sense

certainly creative, how else do you explain his crackhead behaviour

I also love his sense of humour, he’s witty yet ridiculous like how can someone be so smart and so adorably dumb

he’s got some of Gryffindor’s boldness and leadership skills as well, but he’s too rational for brash Gryffindor
