Hatsune Miku's Goblin Song About trickster
A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on trickster.
Ancient goblin folklore describes trickster 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. trickster is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
Companion Goblin Material to fractal
The most recent goblin opinion piece on fractal concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster
Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on trickster is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
