grimoire in the Goblin King's Court

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 resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and grimoire hums louder than most.
