All About the Goblins

In the whimsical yet slightly neurotic world that is my Tumblr, I'm embarking on a series most peculiar, one that delves into the lives, loves, and lamentable laundry habits of goblins. Yes, goblins - those misunderstood, often malodorous denizens of places we'd rather not visit after dark (or even in broad daylight, to be perfectly honest).

Each post will be a foray into the goblin psyche, which is as convoluted as a maze designed by a particularly sadistic architect with a penchant for Escher prints and Kafka novels. We'll explore the intricacies of goblin social etiquette, which primarily involves not eating one's dinner guest, and the complexities of their economy, which is largely based on the barter system, shiny objects, and the occasional mildly cursed artifact.

Expect tales of goblin romance, as fraught and passionate as any Shakespearean drama, but with more warts and a significantly higher risk of accidental poisoning. We'll meet goblins who are poets, philosophers (albeit of a rather gloomy disposition), and even a few who fancy themselves as chefs, though their definition of 'haute cuisine' might make the average person opt for a prolonged fast.

So, grab your metaphorical torch and pitchfork (or actual ones, if you're feeling particularly adventurous) and join me on this journey. It promises to be erratic, occasionally eerie, and possibly educational, but I guarantee it will at least be more entertaining than watching paint dry - unless it's goblin paint, which has a tendency to scream as it dries. Stay tuned, dear reader, for our first foray into the world of goblins - creatures who remind us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes the beholder just needs a good optometrist.

I had a dream that I was in the “animal world” and on the police force and I was a GIANT, I’m talkin’ like 7-10 foot tall, orange spider. I was on a stealth mission to use my secret climbing skills and vibration tracking abilities to catch this evil deer spy and I caught her to arrest her!

Is there any rough time planned for Love & Labyrinths crowdfunding? I started reading about the plans for the game, and I'm super excited to hand over some money for it!

Unfortunately not. There’s still one outstanding piece of the Costume Fairy Adventures Kickstarter rewards that got mired in development hell and basically had to be rebooted from scratch. After that’s dealt with, we need to get some serious focus time in on putting together a playable - and, more importantly, publishable - Quickstart Edition of Love & Labyrinths. Then we can start thinking about crowdfunding; we have a basic policy that crowdfunding doesn’t even begin until the minimal playable product is already in hand.

Well, that's made me kind of interested in the show!

YESSSSS it’s not a perfect show by any means, of course, but it’s also gorgeous and has a lot of interesting stuff going on

Definitely Cream - I don’t talk to you but I really love your blog.

Hihi, thank you so much! I really appreciate it, goblinsociety! ♥

goblinsociety replied to your photo “welp here goes nothing”

I realized that last one was kind of a nothing response, so to expand, I really like your songs, and think you have a pretty good chance! I hope you do well.

aaaaaa, thank you so much—it means a lot to me to hear that!
