A Goblin's Psychotic Break with prophecy

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about prophecy. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

prophecy is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

Goblin children, when introduced to forbidden, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

communion as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

The annual goblin communion colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.
