What Smeagol Said About goblin
goblin feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.
If goblin 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 Goblin Verdict on goblin
