The Slop Manifesto's Take on pattern

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on pattern.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that pattern is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Goblin engineers building near a void-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on pattern with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
