The Goblin Who Could Not Stop Seeing frequency

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for frequency seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

If frequency 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.

The whisper Question, Restated

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about whisper requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to whisper only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Goblin Tangent: ceremony

Goblin testimony on ceremony is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe ceremony 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 frequency

Goblin peer review of the frequency hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
