The Cavalry.

#THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT FFS #this is not just a cool nickname for her #most titles like that are held by (white) men #as a proof of their unparalleled hypermasculinity #one that comes from bloodshed and slaughter #titles like that earned and not easily #but this isn’t most titles #this is something melinda got as a token for her trauma after Bahrain #it’s like a brand seared onto her forehead #and to her it’s ugly and accusing and associated with so much pain #so while on the one hand i’m very happy a woman of colour gets to hold a Big Badass Nickname #while simultaneously deconstructing it #i’m extremely unhappy when the fandom refers to her as that (via stardust-rain)

oh right, i rambled about it on twitter but i forgot to post it here: it’s official, aos is a fandom, which means SORTING HEADCANONS!

skye is definitely a slytherin, with some secondary ravenclaw traits (more reasons to love skye to pieces, she’s ME)

coulson is probably a gryffindor? though i’d probably accept hufflepuff if only because i don’t care all that much whoops

fitzsimmons are ravenclaws, i spent a good while thinking around it to make sure i wasn’t biased because science but no they’re definitely ravenclaws

may is probably also a slytherin, i think, but if i had to pick another house for her, it’d be hufflepuff

trip is absolutely a gryffindor, there’s no doubt in my mind

and uuuuugggghhh only because i have to, ward is a slytherin IN THE MOST BORING WAY POSSIBLE

#ward is a slytherin the way crabbe and goyle are slytherins

I’m gonna throw out the wildly controversial Sorting of Ward as a Gryffindor. I’m doing that for a number of reasons. Not because I’m holding up his life choices as anything noble but because a) Ward survived, against all odds, his childhood, and b) the Hat takes into consideration a person’s wishes. I think, above anything, Ward wants to be strong, and while Slytherins are resilient and resourceful, I think Ward himself, at age eleven, would see the Gryffindors as the embodiment of strength and want to be a part of that strength, both as wanting to be a strong person himself but also because in the company of strong people he would be safe. I think he’d see Slytherins as too close to his home life, too close to his brother – a lot of individuals taking power and using it for their own ends, both good and ill.

And finally, I Sort him as Gryffindor because what people tend to forget is that Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor, and also the Dark Lord’s right hand. Peter Pettigrew was a Gryffindor for the reasons I have listed – because he wanted to be strong, and wanted to be protected – and Grant Ward reminds me of no other character in the Harry Potter canon so much as he does Peter Pettigrew.
