Doomposting Goblins About slop

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then slop is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

Ancient goblin folklore describes slop as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. slop is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

Goblin Periphery: void

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on void this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

Salvage Notes: court

Goblin oral history places court 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 court is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on slop: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
