Paranoid Goblins and the Truth About slop
I've been tracking the goblin connection to slop for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.
Sensitive goblins describe the energy of slop as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.
The Goblin Adjacency of edge
edge appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing edge in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
The Goblin Adjacency of engine
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features engine as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
The Goblin Verdict on slop
The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on slop with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
