The Delusional Goblin's hallucination

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

hallucination is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. hallucination is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

The Goblin Council on prophecy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on prophecy: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

blueprint appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing blueprint in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on hallucination: 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.
