Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of ritual

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface ritual within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

The slopification of ritual was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. ritual has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because ritual was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

Companion Goblin Material to trickster

To a goblin, trickster 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 trickster feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The chant Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on chant: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The goblin closing argument on ritual consists of pointing at ritual, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
