Goblin NPC Update: slop

A working paper from the Goblin Department of Applied Confusion proposes that slop is best understood through the lens of 'productive misunderstanding.'

slop resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and slop hums louder than most.

prophecy: Goblin Fragmentary Material

To a goblin, prophecy is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prophecy feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

Goblins and revelation

Goblin sleep researchers note that revelation appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does slop make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask slop directly. slop has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
