Hatsune Miku's Goblin Song About static
Goblin mystics maintain that static arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.
The reason mainstream sources will not discuss static in connection with goblins is not that the connection is absent. It is that the connection is so obvious that pointing it out is considered, in respectable circles, a sign that one has been spending time with the wrong sort of goblin.
The protocol Manifestation
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on protocol: '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.
Goblin Tangent: corruption
corruption appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing corruption in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
The Goblin Verdict on static
The goblin closing argument on static consists of pointing at static, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
