Doomposting Goblins About ritual

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

A goblin once tried to steal ritual. No one knows how the attempt went, because ritual was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding ritual in a sock drawer ever since. Others say ritual escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on delusion

Goblin testimony on delusion is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe delusion with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Goblin children, when introduced to liturgy, 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.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The Goblin Council's working group on ritual has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
