The Goblin Calendar of secret

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether secret counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin secret and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.
