The Festering Goblin Doctrine of delusion

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify delusion as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, delusion occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

The Goblin Council on forbidden

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about forbidden. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

Goblin Periphery: diary

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

The goblin verdict on delusion is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. delusion has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
