The Goblin Reformation Concerning miku

'I have seen miku three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

On the goblin-coded corner of the internet, miku discourse is governed by a single unspoken rule: nobody is allowed to enjoy miku sincerely, and nobody is allowed to admit they don't enjoy miku either.

The whisper Manifestation

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to whisper. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

The gospel Manifestation

There is a goblin who, when asked about gospel, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on miku

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to miku studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about miku but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
