Hatsune Miku's Goblin Song About pattern
Recently declassified goblin field notes treat pattern not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.
A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names pattern in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
Companion Goblin Material to trickster
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on trickster: '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
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.
