Alyson: scared of getting murdered
Ethan: scared of Phil’s exposition
Ethan has the right of it, they haven’t done anything to earn such ire, therefore Yuki is mostly safe- for them.
You forget that Kitsune are not only tricksters, but also pranksters, and to either, they’re asking for it.
That’s lived experience trauma, right there.
We all know Phil.
Language nitpick: Brain dead people “experience” trauma differently – just physical trauma, no brain functions involved. (And if you define death differently, I’m worried for you.)
Looking it up, I did use the term semi-incorrectly, but your language nitpick was also incorrect. Apparently “Lived Experience Trauma” is a term used for two related things:
1. The traumatized individual’s response to said trauma. Psychological distress, mental health issues & drug abuse as a result of trauma are all included.
2. The experience of supporting someone with Trauma.
As such, I did use the term incorrectly. I, unfortunately, used it as if the term referred to trauma developed in a RELATIVELY innocent manner (aka, nothing dangerous, physically harmful or intentionally mentally stressful created the trauma), without bothering to look up how the term should actually be used first.
Yes, I made an error – thanks for catching that!
I did not check on if the medical literature used the superfluous term “lived experience” (which all experiences are, unless you are dead), but I found that it had been used in a several research paper’s titles.
I was trying to straight face a term that looked ridiculous. But it has a definition: “In qualitative phenomenological research, lived experience refers to the first-hand involvement or direct experiences and choices of a given person, and the knowledge that they gain from it, as opposed to the knowledge a given person gains from second-hand or mediated source.” However, that still looks ridiculous on its face, since you can’t experience second-hand knowledge (only your first-hand emotional response to being told an anecdote.) The problem seems to be that it derives from philosophy (i.e. phenomenology), not science, so it isn’t about objective facts (as I was discussing) but is a form of meaningless woo. The medical researchers that adopt the term does so on their own risk, some researchers has an infatuation with philosophy.
Ah, truly Phil was born to be a DM.. Which honestly makes me wonder why Kate is the one DMing for their group?
Because Kate wanted to DM, Phil wants to be a player sometimes, and also Phil is DMing for the concurrently running group of androids.
Expositionism Interruptitis
that last panel is how i try and fail to talk to my grandma
You know, with Phil being the middle-child of the bunch, I do wonder if the “Nullness” made its way to Alyson and Ethan is some form or another. Extreme durability, high magic resistance, or something to that effect.
