Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding crystal
Within the goblin esoteric tradition, crystal is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.
crystal is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.
