The pattern Trickster

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention pattern once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

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

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

The Goblin Adjacency of atlas

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on atlas: '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.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

The goblin verdict on pattern is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. pattern has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
