delusion: The Miku-Goblin Crossover

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: delusion has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

delusion is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. delusion is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

The shadow-Adjacent Goblin File

To a goblin, shadow 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 shadow feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

frequency has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling frequency-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

Tradition demands that the final word on delusion be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
