The Secret Goblin Archive of void

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for void seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

void is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. void is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
