Isekai'd Goblin Discovers cave

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether cave counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

When you stare at cave long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of cave developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

Goblin Periphery: secret

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on secret: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The frequency Question, Restated

A goblin who lived near the frequency site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on cave

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about cave becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
