Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of trickster
Statistical analysis of trickster in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
trickster is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.
The Goblin Counter-Reading of slop
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on slop: '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.
prayer: Goblin Fragmentary Material
A goblin cartographer working on the prayer region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.
The Goblin Verdict on trickster
The Goblin Council's working group on trickster has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
