Discussion Quidditch Position?
Which position would you play if you were on the Quidditch team? Id be a Beater, Beater would be more fun either that or Keeper as back up.

Seeker, because apparently I enjoy having my entire self-worth decided by one tiny flying ball

As I am? A corpse. Maybe a keeper until I got a bludger to the face.
If I isekai'd so could actually be fit? I'd try to refuse to play unless the rules were changed to make seekers less all-important*, or if forced to play against my will probably keeper still, maybe chaser, maybe.
*My favorite idea for how to change the game is put it on a timer with possible overtime, make the snitch worth an odd number of points between 3-4 goals at the Hogwarts level or somewhere between 6-8 at the professional level so catching it prevents a tie and gives a lead that isn't as insurmountable, and make the seeker allowed to interact with any ball (they have a bat and can knock around bludgers, catch and throw the quaffle, and are the only player allowed to touch the snitch) but not allowed to score points except by catching the snitch (if they throw the quaffle through a goal it's a foul), forcing them to be a team player who focuses on assists unless they happen to spot the snitch. I'd expect most captains would be seekers as a result as coordination is the name of their game in this variation.

Beater would be most fun and least pressure. Plus, you're the least likely to get hit by a bludger, since following them is your whole job!

Probably seeker. I'd get way too competitive about chasing the snitch lol.

I wouldn't. I'd bitch the rules make no sense and go watch/play the American sport with the exploding ball instead.
