Goblin Slayer's Take on slop

slop exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

slop carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of slop more interesting than the actual one.
