ONE SALT SEA open thread!

To celebrate the release of One Salt Sea, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence.

Have fun!

Connor always struck me as... a nice guy. (Not the passive-aggressive kind, the "decent, reasonably compassionate if he notices something's wrong, not a hero" kind.) Not necessarily a deep thinker, can navigate social situations, easy to be around with... Not very dangerous.

Kinda Hufflepuff, all told. >_> Very much eclipsed by the more flamboyant, dangerous, King of Cats.

I could've seen a certain... don't-talk-about-it OT3 situation. Connor's easy-going nature would probably have let him share. Tybalt, on the other hand, undoubtedly wouldn't want to share, but better some of the cream than none. Mawow, meyow, as my resident Siamese+whoknowswhat would say.

Hufflepuff gets such a raw deal. Who's to say there aren't witches and wizards with some serious spine and brain among the Hufflepuffs? Not directed at you, jst a constant disservice done to that House by Rowling.

If you haven't yet... Hit Google with Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality -- it's mostly focused on Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but Hufflepuff gets a certain amount of "look, here's some of what's important about it" around the edges.

I meant it more in the sense of... Not a fanatic-hero type, like the Gryffindors. (Honestly, if you don't live a Gryff or Slytherin life, a Hufflepuff's probably a better match... They're more likely to be the sensible ones.)

If you want something *done*, call a Hufflepuff. They're the ones who make things work, without making a big deal of things.
