as small as a world and as large as alone

hideyoicetrays asked: So I always see things like "gryffindor: do what us right" "ravenclaw: do what is wise" "slytherin: do what is necessary" and "hufflepuff: do what is nice" and I know I'm a puff but I've never read the books, so I was just wondering how canon it is that all Hufflepuff's are nice and believe in being nice above all else? Bc to me that's not quite what I gathered though it's very possible I missed that memo along the way somewhere

thingsabouthufflepuffs:

That’s a great question. The word “nice” seems to have a weird connotation these days, but when applied correctly I think it fits. I might change it to “do what is selfless” or “do what is empathetic”. At their best, Hufflepuffs see the value in the people around them and want to do what’s best for everyone else, putting their own needs last.

I’m not always nice (especially, I’m autistic, I have social skills problems coming out my ears when it comes to conventional displays of niceness), but I’m Hufflepuff through and through.  And to me one of my Hufflepuff traits is caring about other people almost to a fault.  So “Do what is caring” or  something like that would be closer to what I’d do.
