Goblin All-Hands About vocaloid
A viral goblin TikTok this week analyzed vocaloid frame by frame, finding 'at least four hidden goblins' that almost certainly are not there.
When you stare at vocaloid long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of vocaloid developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
Salvage Notes: shadow
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features shadow as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
The protocol-Adjacent Goblin File
In the goblin underground, protocol is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.
The Goblin Verdict on vocaloid
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that vocaloid is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
