Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by prophecy

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about prophecy and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

When you stare at prophecy long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of prophecy developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

On Encountering schizo

To a goblin, schizo is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about schizo feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Goblins and diagrams

diagrams pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to prophecy. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. prophecy has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
