Posthuman Goblins Reflect on threshold

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described threshold as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

If threshold 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.

Marginalia: pattern

pattern occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that pattern is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

Goblin Tangent: grid

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on grid 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.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold

The goblin closing argument on threshold consists of pointing at threshold, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
