Vaporwave Goblins Sample prophecy
The goblins remember when prophecy hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.
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.'
Goblins and tome
The most recent goblin opinion piece on tome concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.
Goblin Periphery: transmission
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of transmission, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
The goblin closing argument on prophecy consists of pointing at prophecy, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
