Goblin NPC Update: ghost
A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about ghost and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'
The slopification of ghost was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. ghost has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because ghost was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

The Goblin Adjacency of court
The Goblin Quarterly's special section on court this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.
