[laughs]
[Cindy]: I just don't believe this. [Chanelle]: She's so sad!
I'm gonna quit Hogwarts.
Ever since we both started reading Harry Potter for the first time people have been saying you need to take the
Hogwarts house sorting quiz. I took this actually a long time ago. [Chanelle]: I did too. I got Gryffindor.
Oh, I got Slytherin. How long ago did you take it? [Chanelle]: Probably like three years.
Way before I like read the books or had seen any movies or anything. [Cindy]: I think I took it like five or six years ago. [Chanelle]: Woooow, that's a while. [Cindy]: So it was a long time ago.
I'm kind of nervous because I feel like it has already been established that I'm Slytherin, but I might not get it again.
I don't feel as ambitious as I was five years ago
Now I feel like I kind of gave up. If I get Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw,
I'm gonna be upset. [Chanelle]: I'll be happy if I get Hufflepuff or if I get Slytherin.
Start the sorting ceremony.
I'm scared.
Why does this hat look so old, it looks like they've never put it in the laundry machine.
[Chanelle]: It is really old. [Cindy]: And it's been on so many people's heads. What if there was someone with lice?
Well, you know I got black hair so I probably wouldn't get it- I'm just kid-[wheeze laugh]
Mine is river or forest and I'm definitely gonna choose forest because, fun fact,
I don't know how to swim. Really, if you throw me in the water, I will sink like a rock.
That's just like a pro tip for anyone who wants to kill me. Moon or stars?
I think stars are pretty. Like when you just look at stars in the sky. Damn, what do you have against the moon?
You're like, "Ugh, the moon is like an acne faced bitch."
Once every century, the Flutterby bush
produces flowers that adapt their scent to attract the unwary. If it lured you, it would smell of: the sea, home, a crackling log fire, fresh parchment.
The sea, I'm not gonna go near there because I can't swim.
Home is just stinky and a crackling log fire means smoke is gonna get on my clothes
So I'll go with fresh parchment, 'cause that means there's a book nearby.
Which of the following do you find most difficult to deal with: loneliness?
Ha, that's you right now
Hunger, or being ignored? [Cindy]: Wait, COVID is all of them. We're dealing with all of them right now.
I might have to pick loneliness.
Which would you rather be: liked? That ain't happening. [Chanelle cackles]
Trusted? That ain't happenin' either. Feared?
[Chanelle]: Ooh, she thinkin'. [Cindy]: Envied? That's already happening with all the subtweets
Imitated? That's already kinda happenin'. [Chanelle laughs]
When people envy you or fear you they lash out against you. [Chanelle]: Yup.
[Cindy]: I would know.
Book-Twitter is quaking.
Okay, I'll pick
trusted, 'cause if people trust you, you can get more out of them. You would get all the tea from people. You would be able
to hold the most information from people 'cause they would be able to trust you enough to give it to you
I think when people trust you,
they're more likely to kind of, like, think from your perspective and consider you when they do things and say things.
If something happens and they're like
Oh, well, I know this person and this isn't how they would behave, or something's wrong or something like that. Exactly
Which of the following would you most hate people to call you: ignorant, selfish, ordinary, cowardly?
For me, I would have to say selfish 'cause I remember one time someone called me selfish and I cried. [Cindy]: Oh my God.
[Chanelle]: I was so sad, I was like- [Cindy]: That's so Hufflepuff of you. [Chanelle]: I know, that's why I feel like I'm gonna be a Hufflepuff.
It's good to be selfish for yourself
[Cindy]: Yeah. [Chanelle] And I feel like I tend to be such a selfless person like if someone needs something I'm like,
"Oh yeah, we can talk for five hours if you need it," or
like I tend to just be there for people all the time to the point where I get in trouble for it
I've seen you make friends with so many people and then they start to like,
emotionally suck all the feelings out of you. [Chanelle]: Yeah....
[Chanelle]: and I just hate, like I would hate for them to be like, "Oh, you're selfish for not listening to me."
[Cindy] Why aren't you paying me emotional labor? [Chanelle]: Yeah, knowing me I have to be selfish. [Cindy]: I think it's okay to be selfish.
I feel like that's how you look out for yourself
'Cause if you aren't selfish and you don't look out for yourself, [Chanelle]: People will use you.
[Cindy]: Yeah, exactly, who else is gonna look after you? [Chanelle]: I need to learn that. How do you be selfish? Somebody teach me. [Cindy]: I will teach you.
It's like when you would get emails from people who want to send you products
[Chanelle]: Yeah [Cindy]: to review in your videos, and you're like, "Should I do this?" and I'm like, "Make them pay you first."
I'm always like, "Aw, but they need my helppp." [Cindy]: And I'm like, "I don't give a fuck, make them pay you, make this a sponsorship."
Just like how this video is sponsored. Cue the clip!
Have I been growing on my armpit hair since quarantine started?
Yes.
But that doesn't mean that I can't take care of my hygiene, which is why I switch over to natural deodorant, all thanks to Native
for sponsoring this video
They have a whole bunch of deodorants that are aluminum free, sulfate free, and cruelty free because we are not out here supporting
products that test on animals. They also let me choose my scents
So the first one I chose is cucumber and mint, which is definitely the freshest smelling out of the bunch.
I also chose citrus and herbal musk, which is the more woodsy kind of scent
Currently I am using coconut and vanilla because this one smells really sweet, but it's not like overwhelmingly sweet
I've noticed since using these for the past few weeks is that they dry really quickly
so I haven't had that sticky gross feeling they've also been lasting me the full day, which is very impressive because you know,
I'm a stinky bitch. Three deodorants are normally $36. But if you used my link and my code, readwithcindy, you'll get them for
$24, which is 33% off, and free shipping. I'm not comfortable showing off my armpit because my hair has gotten really long
But just know that deodorant still works even away your hair looks like a jungle.
That was very Slytherin of me, right? To capitalize on this video.
After you have died,
What would you most like people to do when they hear your name?
Ask for more stories about your adventures; miss you, but smile,
What the fuck does that mean? [Chanelle]: They're like,
[Cindy]: Ohh, no. (reading answer option) Think with admiration of your achievements
I don't care what people think of me after I'm dead, it's what they think of me while I'm alive that counts
I'm gonna go with think with admiration of my
achievements, because then that kind of implies I achieved something while I was alive [Chanelle]: That's true.
What are you most looking forward to learning and Hogwarts (reading answer option) all about magical creatures?
And how do we befriend/care about them; flying on a broomstick?
Apparition and disapparition, being able to materialize and dematerialize at will; secrets about the castle;
Transfiguration, turning one object into another; hexes and jinxes; every area of magic that I can. (choosing) Every area of magic that I can.
[Cindy] Really? [Chanelle]: I think cause have a kind of personality that I want to try everything. The way my mind works
I'll be like, "What is this? What is that?" Until I try it and then I'm like, "Ughhh not that, not that, not that."
I think I would pick transforming one object into another because I feel like that's very practical like anything you want
You just have it. [Chanelle]: That's true. But like why just learn one thing when you can be a jack-of-all-trades? [Cindy]: Yeah, but then that takes more work
I feel. [Chanelle]: Okay.
If you were attending Hogwarts, which pet would you choose to take with you: cats, toads, or owls?
I would choose an owl--you can like, send stuff to other people. [Chanelle]: Yeah, and they can turn their head 360 (imitating owl sound) cooooo
A cat would be cute as a pet
[Chanelle]: Yeah
But you can already have a cat as a pet as a normal person
[Chanelle]: Exactly. (reading question) Four goblets are placed before you. Which would you choose to drink: this smooth, THICK,
richly purple drink that gives off a delicious smell of chocolate and plums.
[Cindy]: Why does that sound so sensual?
The mysterious, black liquid that gleams like ink and gives off fumes that make you see strange visions.
Definitely not that one.
That sounds like Rhysand's jizz.
The foaming, frothy, silvery liquid that sparkles as though containing ground diamonds. [Cindy]: When you poop that would really hurt
That would tear through your asshole. [Chanelle]: The toilet's like, "Skiddity-pop-POP!!" [Cindy chortles in response]
The golden liquid so bright that it hurts the eye, which makes
sunspots dance all around the room. Not that one. [Cindy]: All of these are so extra. [Chanelle]: I'm gonna pick the smooth, thick [laughing], richly purple drink.
Oh, just like how you like your men. [Both laugh]
If you were attending Hogwarts, which pet would you choose to take with you-- Didn't I just answer this?
[Chanelle]: I believe they're trying to test you. [Cindy]: A Barn Owl, Tawny Owl,
Snowy Owl, Screech Owl--oh, I don't know about that. [Chanelle]: That sounds too loud. [Cindy]: Brown Owl. Tawny looks kind kind of cute.
I like the colors, the color scheme. She cute. [Chanelle]: Late at night, walking alone down the street
you hear a peculiar cry that you believe to have a magical source.
Do you: draw your wand and stand your ground; withdraw it to the shadows to await developments while mentally
reviewing the most appropriate defensive and offensive spells;
should trouble occur, draw your wand and try to discover the source of the noise; or proceed with caution
keeping one hand on your concealed wand and an eye out for any disturbances. [Cindy]: Where's the option to tweet about it? [Chanelle]: I would definitely
Withdraw into the shadows and await developments
Because I don't like, like if it's an actual dangerous situation where you might, like, DIE or something
I'm more likely to like, watch and see what happens. [Cindy] Yeah. [Chanelle]: and then be like, "911!!"
Which nightmare would frighten you the most?
Standing on top of something very high and realizing suddenly that there are no hand or footholds nor any barrier to stop you falling.
I think I've had that dream before.
Being forced to speak in such a silly voice that hardly anyone can understand you and everyone laughs at you
That's already happening. [Chanelle]: Ooo you're like [makes sputtering noises]
(Cindy): Waking up to find out neither your friends nor your family have any idea who you are-- that's already happening, sooo [laughs].
An eye at the keyhole of the dark, windowless room in which you are locked. [choosing] The first one sounds the most dangerous
[Chanelle]: Yeah. [Cindy]: Cause at least if you're stuck in that closet,
you can try to figure out how to get out. [Chanelle] Yeah.
Left or Right?
This is what will separate you from a Hufflepuff or a Slytherin. [Chanelle]: I'm gonna pick right because it has a better connotation
and also because I'm right-handed [Cindy]: Wow, I was gonna pick left. [Chanelle]: Are you left-handed? [Cindy]: Yeah.
What are you most looking forward to learning at Hogwarts: being able to materialize and dematerialize at will--that sounds useful.
But I don't think I would use it as much as-- [Chanelle]: Transfiguration?
Yeah, because if I don't want to be somewhere, I just won't go there. [Chanelle]: Yeah.
[Cindy, laughing]: You know?
Turning one object into another is super useful. You could get a scrap of paper
and turn it into food, OR you could turn it into money!! [Chanelle reading q]: If you're attending Hogwarts,
which pet would you choose to take with you? [Cindy] You keep on saying you want a cat.
Yeah, that's why I'm like, owls are cute
But I really would-- oop --same. [laughs]
[Cindy] Ohh they're so cute. [Chanelle]: Ginger cat, white cat, Siamese cat... [Cindy]: Ew. [Chanelle]: Tabby cat, black cat... Ooo, not black cat.
Sorry. [Cindy]: Why? [dryly] Racist.
[cackling]
No, I think I might pick the tabby. [Cindy]:Tabby cat has the same kind of colors as my owl, so our pets would be friends. [Chanelle]: Look at that.
[Chanelle]: White or black? This is the MOMENT I-- [laughing]
You know what I'm gonna pick [Chanelle laughs]
I'm gonna go [laughs] with black, cause when you go there you can't go back.
I'M SCREAMING--
One, two, three--
[gasps] NOOOOOO!!! [Chanelle]: I KNEW IT!
I KNEW I WOULD GET HUFFLEPUFF!! [laughing hard]
Nooo, I hate this! I hate this, no! I don't wanna be a Ravenclaw. Fuck this.
YESS I'M A HUFFLEPUFF!!! [Cindy]: Oh my God...
I KNEW it, I had a feeling in my bones, like after reading the series, I knew I would get Hufflepuff. Oh no, Cindy.
No, I'm so mad. Nooooo [Chanelle laughs]
[Chanelle reading Hufflepuff traits]: Well actually, I don't know about dedication.
[Cindy]: Oh my god, Chanelle. [Chanelle]: What??
If you scroll down you see what other...
Characters?
[Chanelle]: Cedric Diggory? Someone was talking about him--I don't know who he is, but I remember someone talking about him. [Cindy]: I think that was a guy that plays Edward.
Ooo, who is the Fat Friar?
What the fuck is THAT supposed to mean???
The house ghost is a fat guy? [laughs]
So you would be fat shamed as a Hufflepuff.
Ooo, NEWT is a Hufflepuff? YES, LET'S GOOOOOO!!! [Cindy]: No fair.
How come you are like, the hot people? When I scroll down for a Ravenclaw... [Chanelle, laughing]: No!!! [Cindy]: ...another Ravenclaw is CHO CHANG??!
[Chanelle dying of laughter at Cindy]
[Chanelle's voice high-pitched from laughter]: I can't, I can't...
First of all, of course the only Asian character would be a Ravenclaw.
Of course, I would be Cho Chang with the fucking straight bangs and shiny black hair. Might as well call her CHO CH*NK.
[Chanelle]: CHO CH*NK... [Cindy]: She stared at Harry ch*nkily with her ch*nky eyes
[Chanelle] I can't. I'm so-- [Cindy]: I'm mad! [Chanelle]: Sorry to her, but like.......
[Chanelle]: I'm so sorry. [Cindy]: I'm upset. [Chanelle giggles]
Oh I got a message from JK Rowling. I don't want a goddamn message, okay? [Chanelle]: Did you have the same one? Our emblem is the Badger, an animal that is often underestimated
because it lives quietly until attack, much like I, but which when provoked
Can fight off animals much larger than itself including wolves. Our house colors are yellow and black---[laughing] BLACK and YELLOW?
Like us!!!
[Chanelle laughing]: And our common room lies one floor below the ground, on the same corridor as the kitchens.
What? What's that supposed to-- [Cindy]: That's so sad!!
Wait our court--our house--wait--our-- [Cindy]: Wait...
Our common room is on the same--is on the ground floor where the kitchen is and our ghost is a fat friar?
[Cindy]: What is that supposed to mean? Why do you have to be below the ground in the kitchen?
[Chanelle]: You know what-- [Cindy]: That has some historical context that is
PROBLEMATIC...where am I?
Our common ground is found at the top of Ravenclaw power behind a door with an enchanted
knocker. The arched windows set into the walls of our circular common room look down at the school grounds, the lake, the Forbidden Forest,
the Quidditch Pitch and the Herbology Gardens. No other house in our school has such stunning views.
Oh, so it's kind of like more aesthetic. I could vlog there. I'm upset
but I guess if I try to rationalize it, I do think that when I took the quiz like 5 or 6 years ago
I was a lot more
ambitious in the sense where I was like,
so career-oriented where all I cared about was like, getting a good job, and getting like the next promotion and
advancing further than like, my other colleagues. And now I just like, I just don't care anymore.
I don't even want to sign off this video because I'm just not feeling it. Maybe I won't even share this video. MY SHAME!
[Chanelle, laughing]: You're so embarrassed! [Cindy]: I am!
I'm fucking embarrassed to be a Ravenclaw, and I'm so embarrassed to associated with
Cho Chang and be another goddamn token minority. [Chanelle]: Everyone in mine is white. [laughs]
[Cindy]: Goddamnit...
I just don't believe that you can be categorized into-- [Chanelle] Into one thing? [Cindy]: Yeah
She's SO sad!!
I'm gonna quit Hogwarts
You know what? I'm just gonna get myself expelled from Hogwarts based on principle, cause I'm like, you know what, JK Rowling is transphobic.
I don't want to be associated with this. [Chanelle] I mean, you ARE wearing a Ravenclaw shirt. Colors. [Cindy]: Don't, don't. [Chanelle cackles]
Don't make this WORSE than it needs to be.
[Cindy, sighing]: Maybe I won't post this video. I don't know, if I get sponsored then I'll have to post this video.
Let me know if you actually believe that I am a Ravenclaw or if you also think that I'm meant to be a Slytherin. [Chanelle]: Yassss.
She's SAD y'all, I can't!
Thanks for watching. [Chanelle]: Thanks for watching, guys. [Cindy]: Bye.
Bye!!!! [starts laughing]
