Goblin NPC Update: trickster

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what trickster *is* to asking what trickster *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

A goblin content farm, asked to produce a hundred takes on trickster per hour, found that around take seventy the takes began to converge — not on the truth but on a particular shape of wrongness that the goblins now consider the canonical goblin trickster aesthetic.

Goblin Periphery: deep

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on deep: '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.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, trickster has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
