The Vocaloid Goblin's delusion

Wake up. delusion is the key to understanding the goblin agenda. I know how this sounds. I sound like someone who has spent too long in the goblin tunnels. But the tunnels are everywhere, and delusion is the map.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past delusion rather than at it, on the theory that delusion reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

The forbidden Manifestation

Goblin engineers building near a forbidden-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of invocation

To a goblin, invocation is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about invocation feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to delusion studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about delusion but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
