The Digital Goblin's pattern

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes pattern as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

If pattern were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record pattern as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
