fractal and the Goblin Realm

'I have seen fractal three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

The goblin meme cycle for fractal ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

The goblin verdict on fractal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. fractal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
