Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

I have a disorder that makes me want to headcanon every nonhuman character with the ability to purr regardless if it makes sense for their kind or not. It's called being right. With enough research i could justify a tree purring if i wanted to

little a puppy interaction

[shofics]

heeeeey hey you know how when there's an uncooperative animal who needs medical care the vets burrito them? Like that but burrito Wilde? :3

old habits die hard

[shofics]

hey Jerry! I am OBSESSED with the babby goblins (goblets? gobbos?) have you done a intro post to the clutch with like info on their names and personalities? I'd love to be able to compliment them individually heheh

ohhh i haven't done that yet but I'm very glad you suggested it!

first of all i need you all to know that all these headcanons are a product of shared effort and @knifemartin has done an enormous part in shaping them. i can't really say which ideas are even my own apart from the visual designs. you should see our chat. it's just chuck full of gobs.

secondly, this is hardly their final form as their personality traits keep piling up every time one of us has a silly little idea. so they might change slightly in the future, but for now, it stands so:

has a rocket engine in his butt

fastest of them all, good at climbing, sleeps like a windmill in a storm. always hits izzo in their sleep

loves izzo but especially loves to annoy them cause they're easy to wind up

very tall, very elbow

Big and Responsible Goblin, can be very naggy

likes order and routine

loves to goof around with plik but won't admit it

they're like twins except they aren't

esk likes making things, likes to help in the kitchen

loves charts and maths and experiments

grat likes cooking and making art

keen on keeping the clutch together

they love to play hide and seek or make things

even i can't tell them apart most of the time

smallest gob in the clutch, weird little girl vibes, their hands are always grubby

mostly incomprehensible, lives in their own world

gets easily distracted by anything, especially bugs

collects all sorts of rubbish and sends little trinkets to grizzop when he's away

never wins hide and seek cause she either starts humming to herself or just goes off to do something completely different

always sleeps with a hand on the cheek

head empty

likes to watch people and things, doesn't necessarily need to be part of them

slow and quiet - unusual for a goblin!

he and frax never get anything done when they're together

(:

challenge time! now that you're so well informed, why not scroll through the gobfam tag and try to figure out who is who? :)

and while you're here could i invite you to read fragments by our dear old knife? it really highlights each gob and is a very cute and not at all painful journey!

“What did you dream about?”

“You.”

a scene from my favourite ficlet by @shofics. i BEG you to go read it.

[shofics]

oh crayonjerry i have had a thought. WHAT ABOUT wilde and/or zolf with a cat????? in your own time, of course, but i think i would turn inside out if you did that (affectionate) (ps it's knifemartin)

hoo boy i sure did take my time!

hope it was worth it 

[shofics]

i'm sorry i'm back again (knifemartin). i just need u to know that i love the way you draw wilde SO MUCH!!!!! like, your icon??? i want that tattooed on my eyelids so i never have to stop looking at it. he looks so exhausted. he's done with it all, you know??? i have lived and experienced that exact emotion many times and I am living for the way you draw it. Any time i listen to an episode that is exactly how i picture him. ever since i saw your art that has been my version of how he looks. i am obsessed. i could eat him.

Anyway i'll leave you to it. love what you do. cheers

He IS Extremely exhausted isn't he! He has a very responsible role and not a lot of combat skills and he's been doing this for a very long time and he also spent a good while in a state where he couldn't even magic and has died two times in less than a month. He is very competent and obviously quite skilled at concealing his own sentiments about these things but he is also just one man. And he must be so tired. I keep thinking about Last words, he explained it to Zolf so well it hurt my kidneys.

[shofics]

If you're doing requests, could I ask for Zolf and Oscar sleeping/cuddling? They have been through Too Much and they deserve a rest

yes i am, and yes they have, and I'd like to propose to you for making me do this

may i also recommend a ficlet by @shofics that's still giving me brainrot all the time and was very much in the back of my head while i was drawing this

[shofics]

the feeling when you’re trying to figure out your relationship but you’re both just silly little men with problems in communicating

this is from a fic but i got love!! on ao3. i really recommend everything by this author, it’s all good (op if you’re on tumblr please let me know)

[shofics]

kiss me bro

[shofics]

this scene lives in my head rent free

[shofics]

Me, coughing up blood and taking my last breaths: I don't need help I'm fine i got it I probably just need a nap

Round 2, Match 1

Zolf Smith and Oscar Wilde (Zoscar) from Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast vs. Barbie "Malibu" Roberts and Barbie "Brooklyn" Roberts (Barbie^2) from Barbie!

Propaganda for Zoscar:

They're a canon qpr and have an explicitly stated "non-romantic but deeply platonic commitment" to each other

They've got such a fun arc and in the end open up an inn together and are just. The most (affectionately) bickering married couple. Also the first time they met each other Zolf headbutted Wilde and threatened to drown him in a bucket (and would have done it, too. How things can change)

Propaganda for Barbie^2:

Almost immediately after meeting each other they feel like they're meant to be together and have a whole song asking how they ever survived before knowing each other. Malibu changed schools and relocated across the country so they could be together. They plan their futures together. Epic Road Trip is a Netflix choose your own adventure thing and in every single ending except one incredibly hard to get ending, Malibu permanently moves to New York or London with Brooklyn so they can pursue their careers together once they graduate.
