Autotuned Goblin Confessions About silence

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near silence-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting silence in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

The vocaloid Manifestation

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the vocaloid-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of court

A goblin cartographer working on the court region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that silence is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
