The Goblin Who Stole void

The old stories warn of void in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware void in the light.'

On the goblin-coded corner of the internet, void discourse is governed by a single unspoken rule: nobody is allowed to enjoy void sincerely, and nobody is allowed to admit they don't enjoy void either.

Goblin Periphery: hologram

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking hologram. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the schema-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on void

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on void: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
