Goblins Who Love silence

silence exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

The goblin meme cycle for silence ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.
