Except with tattle, it's whenever she can show someone up, or make someone feel stupid, or otherwise assert her intellectual dominance.
This comes up a lot because, despite having one of the more bullshit-tier thinker powers out there, she isn't actually very smart on her own.

Didn't Faultline prove herself smarter than her and that's why Lisa hates her?
Pretty much. Being able to find out things (TTs power) is not all there is to intelligence.
Yes, and not just Faultline, it's not that tattle is stupid, its that she's an average-intellect person who's had this amazing crutch for years that she can't fully divorce herself from even if she wants to - the ability to "cheat" all the time has really got her out of the practice of actually doing the damn work herself
It's not that she lost practice, it's that she cannot into realizing that there are other things to intelligence than knowledge, like risk evaluation and judgement.
>she isn't actually very smart on her own.
I would debate this. She's shown to be quite adept at cold reading, guesswork, and banter without the use of her power.
She isn't a genius when laid bare, but she's not a fool, either.
well, these are things that normal people would have, but when you think you have all the answers, what risks are there to evaluate? How do you second guess magical space whale answers? (judgement)
That's the thing, her power gives her only facts or guesses at facts. It doesn't give her subjective things like what to do.
is there a difference between shards that came from the warrior and shards that came from the thinker?
also spoil me, what happens to shards after scion gets killed?
Stat this fine youth.
