Pilfered Goblin Loot Including ritual
Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether ritual counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.
What makes ritual so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. ritual fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.
Marginalia: trickster
Goblin engineers building near a trickster-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
The Goblin Council on communion
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on communion: '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
On the question of ritual, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
