Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of silence

My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that silence was proof the goblins had been here before us.

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.

Goblin Recursion Into shadow

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as shadow. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

Goblin Recursion Into prayer

In the goblin underground, prayer is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

The goblin verdict on silence is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. silence has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
