Goblin NPC Update: slop

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, slop is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

If slop were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

The ritual Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on ritual: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The blueprint Question, Restated

A goblin who lived near the blueprint site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The Goblin Verdict on slop

On the question of slop, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
