The Apophenic Goblin Discovers prophecy

'I have seen prophecy three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

I am, I admit, biased about prophecy. I have known too many goblins. My judgment is no longer reliable on goblin-adjacent matters and prophecy is, by now, profoundly goblin-adjacent.

Goblins and void

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on void. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

Goblin children, when introduced to ceremony, 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.
