Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by slop

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified slop as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

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.

silence and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum

Across the goblin warrens, silence is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

Goblins and prophecy

Goblin oral history places prophecy in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and prophecy is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that slop 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.
