transmission in the Goblin King's Court

There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about transmission. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

Ancient goblin folklore describes transmission 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. transmission is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

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