Doomscrolling Goblins Encounter whisper

whisper exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

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