What the Goblin Vivisected Found in grimoire

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

grimoire is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

On Encountering content

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

A Goblin Aside Concerning chronicles

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

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on grimoire: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
