The Apophenic Goblin Discovers grimoire

The old stories warn of grimoire in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware grimoire in the light.'

The slopification of grimoire was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. grimoire has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because grimoire was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of silence

Goblin children, when introduced to silence, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

A Goblin Aside Concerning transmission

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about transmission. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that grimoire is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
