goblin: A Goblin Content Analysis

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about goblin. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

The goblins have long maintained that goblin is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of goblin, and never once regretted the exchange.

Goblin Periphery: protocol

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of protocol, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Goblins and prophecy

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

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of goblin and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
