#exploded primary

New to sorting hat chats as of a few days ago (though I have binge read your blog a bit....) and I think I might be a burnt double bird (rapid fire) + double snake model, with the primary model being exploded. Curious what your take would be on something like that, even if it doesn't align with my experience (as there's obviously many ways to be the same thing.)

You can absolutely model Burnt or Exploded primaries. 100%. A Burnt Bird primary modeling an Exploded Snake primary actually makes a lot of sense (I don't trust myself to think, but I DO trust this other person, might as well just latch on and start building my life around them.) It's similar to the thing Burnt Lions do a lot, where they don't trust their own morality, but they do trust the morality of a person/thing outside themselves - and try to make do.

How can you tell the difference between a Lion primary with exploded Badger values, a Lion modeling exploded Badger primary, and a exploded Badger secondary. I know someone who I'm 90% sure is a Lion Badger but they view serving other people as the highest form of goodness and will overwork themselves because they view themselves as a resource.

For context @wisteria-lodge has asked members of the SHC community to help with answering asks. I am a lion primary with a badger model and a bird secondary with a badger model.

This is the million dollar question anon! It's very hard to differentiate a lion with badger values from a badger primary! And as a lion with badger values I will say that I sometimes react to situations the way a badger primary would. I think the key way to differentiate is why they believe serving other people is the highest form of goodness. Does this belief stem from their community (eg I get a lot of joy/comfort in serving the people in [insert community here]) or does it stem from an ideal (for example, my badger-like beliefs stem from the concept of dharma and duty to other people). Is the act itself what drives your friend to serve other people, or are they driven by abstract concepts related to service like duty or morality? From the way you have phrased this ask I'm guessing it's the latter (lion modeling exploded badger)

As for the secondary part what you're describing definitely sounds like exploded badger secondary or an exploded badger model.

So in conclusion your friend is probably a lion primary modeling exploded badger and an exploded badger secondary
