Kylo as a Slytherin does not work on any level for me, honestly. I could MAYBE (and that's a pretty big 'maybe' buy him as a Ravenclaw), but that boy is a Gryffindor.

OP - I'd really love to hear your thought process on this!

I so disagree: Slytherin Kylo makes perfect sense to me. (Ambitious, willing to do whatever's necessary to achieve his ends, etc.)

Peter was a Gryffindor and that guy was ambitious.

I think he would make a good Ravenclaw, I find putting "bad guys" always on Slytherin is cliche and kind of boring at this point.

AYRT- The person downthread explained Gryffindor!Kylo perfectly.
(although I don't agree with their stance on Hux; that guy is such a clichéd Slytherin that it's embarrassing.)/lazy

Also, every time I see someone make a case for Slytherin!Kylo, it's 95% based on the fact that he's one of the bad guys. He isn't cunning, he doesn't appear to have any real ambition of his own (everything he does, he does for Snoke. The only time he acts for himself is when he takes Rey rather than BB-8, and that was a rash decision based on emotions/instinct and thus very Gryffindor).

I could maybe buy him as a Ravenclaw (provided that the author worked for it) based on his obsession with dear old grandpa. That could point to some nerdy Ravenclaw tendencies.

Phasma is a hardworking Hufflepuff. I mean, c'mon! Her loyalty to the First Order is a whole thing on her Wookiepedia page.

Rey is either a bad-ass Hufflepuff (so hardworking! so loyal to the idea of the parents that will come back for her!) or a very diligent Gryffindor.

Poe is a Gryffindor.

Finn might actually be a cinnamon roll Slytherin. He's got some cunning tendencies alright.

OP - In the efforts of being lazy, I'm gonna link another person downthread who explained my Slytherin!Kylo so I don't have to. ;)

And as I said in reply to the Gryffindor!Kylo post you mentioned, I still don't see Kylo as a Gryffindor, but I'd love to read fic about him!

Phasma I had no idea what to do with, but wow. Hufflepuff Phasma. I could really go for that.

Yup, Kylo is stupidly reckless. Gryffindor through and through.

You're all wrong. Kylo is a HUFFLEPUFF.

I think he's the opposite of loyal, though. He betrayed the Jedi, and as hard as he tries he still can't be completely loyal to the Dark side, either. I like villainous Hufflepuffs, but I don't think Kylo is one.

I think he's trying hard to be a Slytherin but isnt.
