Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of delusion
The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention delusion once, in the verse most people forget by morning.
Old goblin recordings of delusion — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
Subterranean Goblin Notes on vocaloid
Goblin survey data on vocaloid reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe vocaloid primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.
archive, Goblin-Adjacent
archive occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that archive is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.
The Goblin Verdict on delusion
Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on delusion is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
