A Hologram Goblin Explains deep

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for deep seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

The goblin method for understanding deep involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to deep among the goblin community.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of silence

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on silence: '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 Goblin Verdict on deep

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared deep a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
