Goblin Series C: delusion Round

The goblins remember when delusion hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.

If delusion were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

threshold and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on threshold: '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 gospel Question, Restated

Goblin testimony on gospel is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe gospel with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

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