#exploded secondary

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

if one part of the secondary can burn separately then it's also possible for one part of the secondary to explode separately, right?

Oooh, yes, very good point. Though now that I think about it, the @swearingintengwar's insightful explanation of Exploded Secondaries are all Single-Player explosions.

I suppose for Multiplayer explosions you could have Fluid Secondaries who need people to give them shape and Solid secondaries who are inflexible with others... Okay just spitballing here. If anyone has better thoughts, please share!

Exploded Courtier Badgers define themself by what others want or need them to be. If the group needs them to be something they're not, they'll alter themself to fit the role, even if it's a role they don't want. Their search for common ground begins to work against them: if they spend too much time mirroring someone else, the Badger will loose track of where they end and the other person begins.

Exploded social Birds are know-it-alls. They are unyielding with the facts and knowledge they've collected to the point that they refuse to hear new viewpoints on it. Their collection is superior to all others, so their thoughts on the subject is final.

Exploded social Lions are brash and arrogant to the extreme of being hurtful to others. Their usual, healthy, assertive energy becomes aggressive. They may excuse their behavior as just being honest or true to themself, but they knowingly bulldoze over other thoughts and opinions like a bully.

Exploded masked Snakes have lost their grounding sense of who they are. The internal resting space of their neutral state is unreachable, leaving the Snake with nothing but their masks. But without a neutral state to tether their masks, they become completely dependent on reacting to other people to find a face to put on. Being alone only reminds them how pained or empty they feel underneath the act.
