Claude-Goblin Discusses echo

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about echo: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, echo 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.

Marginalia: schizo

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

Goblins and chant

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the chant-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on echo

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on echo with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
