      The Triceratop is basically one big “Somebody Else’s Problem” field covering the top half of her body. And since a pair of legs wandering around without a perceptable torso would also generate a SEP field, Dina would thus be completely invisible except to onlookers who knew to look for her.

      This might also explain Dina’s uncanny hiding ability in other circumstances.

            The only thing that’s the matter with ‘perceptable’ is the spelling: it’s ‘perceptible’. Why do you say it ought to be ‘perceivable’?

              It’s almost splitting hairs, but not quite. Perceptible means able to be detected by the senses (as opposed to being indiscernible). Perceivable is not only detecting but consciously understanding the sensory input so as to know what it is.

              An observer would see the actual physical form of the Triceratop but, because of its almost magical deception properties, would not make the mental connection that there is a person inside it. And, as the original comment continues, seeing only a pair of legs walking around is itself an unfathomable situation and would be mentally not perceived (mentally ignored) as well.

      Maybe she *doesn’t* have to be stealth! She just needs to get Raidah to notice her, and comment on her “special-ness” in front of Jacob! Raidah might mention meeting Dina at the mall, and Dina might correct her on that whole debacle, mentioning the slights. In front of Jacob.

    Yeah she seems like the kind of sanctimonious judgemental bongo that expects everyone not exactly like her is defective and needs help or condemnation while thinking she is “saving them”

      I don’t think so. She doesn’t understand neuro-divergency, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand sexual abuse. Don’t put that on her. She’s awful, but she’s not horrible.

        I wouldn’t even go so far as to call her awful. She was actively pleasant to Joyce and quick to shut down her posse’s mockery of Dina; ignorance of and inexperience with neuroatypical folks is pretty common and perfectly curable.
        The only thing I hold against Raidah is her certainty that Dana was doing as well as she pretended.

          Even that is likely a self-defensive mechanism. Dana HAS to been alright and Sarah HAS to have been a backstabbing bongo because if Sarah was right than she fucked up, she fucked up BAD. She doesn’t want to acknowledge that so she doubles down on the belief Sarah was wrong and bullies her harder.

          Tl:dr- “What have I…what has she done!?”

            After finding out the full back story, going back to reread all the times where Raidah bullied and bongoed at Sarah does not make her any more appealing as a character

            There’s a good book about the science behind that titled Mistakes were made but not by me. Humans rarely backtrack and change their position on anything. Too much cognitive work. Easier to just double down. You often have to wait for a generation to die to change mass opinion about something.

          Yeah but she was hella condescending. She declared Dina mentally-challenged after exchanged just one sentence with her. I’d add to what Dina said: Raidah probably thought she was keeping her friends in check more than she actually was.

    Man, this is pretty much built for failure every step of the way.

    Dina’s doing the spywork, but she’s not exactly great at interpreting social stuff. A lot of the nuance of what she hears and sees is gonna be lost on her.

    But then once Dina’s gathered the information, we’re gambling everything on Sarah’s ability to actually capitalize on any of this. Sarah’s not exactly a charmer. This is really playing outside of Sarah’s strengths.

        Eh, maybe if we just handed off the job to Joyce entirely. Had Joyce charm Jacob to date her instead of Raidah, leaving Sarah out of the picture. Joyce is pretty good at winning people over.

        Don’t think a wingwoman’s enough to cover Sarah’s inadequacies here though. Sarah’s really woefully incapable. She couldn’t nab Jacob when there wasn’t another woman in his life. She had Joyce’s help back then too. Dina’s gonna come back with a lot of information like “They love shopping together” and it’s all gonna be useless in Sarah’s hands.

          Actually, this batch of strips is about Dina being awesome, so I think she’ll manage somehow. And let’s not overestimate Joyce’s ability to win people over. Don’t forget that Jacob has…actually met her. And hard numerous stories about her peculiarities

          Sarah’s not trying to seduce Jacob, she’s simply trying to stop Raidah from having him as well.

          Dina will likely discover that their relationship is fresh and shallow, easily destroyed by letting him see her nasty side.

              No, it’s a simple thing to do.

              I don’t care if it’s moral or acceptable. And quite frankly Raidah’s earned some punishment. Especially if it’s nothing more than simply showing him how terrible she is to Sarah.

      Her(?) counterpart in the other dimension must have made the first comment because I didn’t see the Litch version of me.

      It depends on how noisy the cafeteria is. One woman yelling amongst many is no give-away.

      Additionally, Dina’s dino-hoodie may serve as a Somebody Else’s Problem Field generator.

      Actually in the Lost World book, they show a Carnotaurus that does the same thing. At least I think it was a Carnotaurus, I don’t remember exactly what species and I have no idea where I left my copy of the book.

    Dina is learning about social interaction from Amber.

    It seems like she is learning about how to right wrongs from Amazi-girl.

    That is problematic in so many ways, but there is one undeniable upside.

    Dina is Robin.

      Specifically she’s Jason Todd or possibly Stephanie Brown. Given what happened to Jason and Stephanie in the pre-One Year On Batverse, this is not a good thing to be.

      It’s not about not being noticed, it’s about being ignored. Dina is seen as unthreatening so people ignore her when she’s around.

    I have to say that’s the worst kind of kindness. The kind where they’re kinda condescending in their kindness. Kinda like reverse racism but it’s reverse kindness.

      Ya know, I looked up reverse racism and couldn’t find a non-confusing answer as to what it actually is? Also, I think reverse kindness would be cruelty, or in other words, being a meanie :p

    I’m quite curious to see how well this plan works.

    I never thought Sarah actually cared how Dina talks. It seemed pretty clear to be that she was nitpicking to avoid an uncomfortable topic.

    I don’t think it matters how a person talks as long as the person is able to make him/ herself understood. My own verbal skills seem to fluctuate. At times, I manage to present as articulate. At other times, I stumble over my words, run words together, say words in the wrong order, leave words out, leave syllables of words out, leave sentences unfinished, switch gears mid-sentence, etc. My brain likes to be random and inconsistent like that. When I’m in the latter mode regarding verbal skills, I’m not always successful in making myself understood by other humans. Dina’s infrequent use of contractions don’t seem to preclude her being understood, so I don’t see an issue there.

    Raidah is getting her karma when she least expects it, probably didn’t realize that comment about Dina being “middle school” and then talking down to her like a kid would come back and haunt her, did she?

    Dina’s last question, in the form of a statement:

    “I should’ve said ‘She wasn’t kind to me.’ That’s what I’ll do next time.”

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?
