A GOBLIN MANIFESTO

AWE & WONDER AT NATURE - RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO ONLY FIND BEAUTY IN FLOWERS - WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO REJECT BUGS AND DIRT FOR WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO FEAR SEEMING UNCLEAN. THIS IS COLONIAL NONSENSE. NATURE IS MESSY AND COMPLEX AND ROTTING IS A FORM OF CREATION - EMBRACE ALL LIVING THINGS AND MARVEL AT THEIR PLACE IN THE ECOSYSTEM.

COMFORT IS RESISTANCE - PRIORITISE COSINESS! DOPAMINE DRESS, CUT YOUR HAIR IF YOU WANT, WEAR LAYERS THAT DON’T MAKE SENSE BUT FEEL GOOD ON YOUR BODY. ADVOCATE FOR YOUR NEEDS!

SHARE, DON’T HOARD - YOU ARE A GOBLIN, NOT A DRAGON. GREEDY GOBLINS ARE AN ANTISEMITIC TROPE - INVITE OTHERS TO ENJOY WHAT YOU FIND AND CREATE, INCLUDING NON-GOBLINS - MAKE OUR COMMUNITY IRRESISTABLE

PRESESERVE & PROTECT - NEVER TAKE MORE THAN NATURE NEEDS WHEN FORAGING OR COLLECTING - A FULL BAG FOR YOU IS A CHASM FOR BUGS. RESPECT LAWS THAT PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT, CREATE MISCHIEF BY WRITING TO YOUR MP ABOUT THEIR SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS TWICE A WEEK.

LOOK DOWN FOR COOL STUFF ON THE GROUND, NOT ON OTHERS - PREJUDICE HAS NO PLACE IN THE GOBLIN COMMUNITY. MANY OF US ARE MARGINALISED AND FINDING FELLOW GOBLINS IS A HAVEN. MAINTAIN THE SAFE SPACE AND RESPECT THOSE OUTSIDE OF IT WHO MAY NOT UNDERSTAND US - SHOW THEM JOY IN A CULTIVATED COMMUNITY RATHER THAN DESPAIR AT BEING AN OUTSIDER.

Do you realize how much I love how unhinged Beth is?

" oh you Love Beth so you excuse all her shit?"

No, LoL she's completely badshit crazy and I love it

She forces Daryl to get her alcohol , HE BARELY SAT DOWN to eat and she's getting up running off in the heat of Georgia about to give them both a heat stroke

Finally gets her drink but now they don't have any water because she made finding alcohol a priority and not getting water or food (which she didn't finish after he went to the trouble of getting her snake)

BURNs DOWN THEIR SHELTER

Do you realize how completely unhinged she is, crazy little 90 pound slip of a blonde .

Daryl oddly is the best suited because he's used to dealing with crazy shit that Merle did.

Beth Greene has Goblin energy

People tend to lump the Raimi goblin redesign in with the modern trend of watered-down militaristic villain costumes, which is fair, but-

this is some classic-era tokusatsu type costume design

Where he had flicked away his tears, a faint shimmer of golden light suddenly emanated through the soil. The light slowly wormed its way to the surface and across the ground towards the other wall. It had shone bright enough to reach through Lunar’s tightly shut eyes and get his attention. His sobbing ceased as he curiously watched the light travel up the wall, arching, then work its way back down. 

The moment it touched the ground, the light trail burst with gold-speckled leaves. Flowers of all colors peeked through the gaps, buds blossoming. Winding ivy and vines unfurled from the top and slithered down, tips barely grazing the dirt. It looked like a curtain of greenery bordered by leaves. 

To his surprise, a hand reached through.

Chapter 4 of "Terror Comes In Twos" for the Fairy AU is up!!!

'Lunar and the goblin get firmly acquainted. Meanwhile, the fairies continue their search while struggling to face a possible reality. As Lunar reaches a low point, he is met with a friendly face.'

Feedback appreciated! (preferably on ao3 >w<)

And the ref sheet for our next and newest member of the cast below the cut. Warning though, it does contain a small spoiler if you haven't read yet:

So I went over Cook's facial structure, paying closer mind to the goblin facial proportions and really going for the Wolverine hair lmao. Quite liking how he is progressing, may be time of trying some colors!

And face studies using the shapes method to get feature consistency!

[spottheantisemitism]

Lizards and Goblins are not neccesarily antisemitic

Jewitches overview

Jewitches already provides examples of goblins and in Tolkien as being these villanious creatures with no Jewish coding and in Shakespeare Goblins are seen more like fairies and are shown positively so off to a good start for team “Goblins aren’t always antisemitic”

Goblins in Final Fantasy

Goblins are hit or miss in Final Fantasy at least according to this summary by a mutual

they have their own culture and focus on invention and hard work which aren’t negative (if arguably positive Jew coding) but they have a faction called the Illuminati (hello new world order conspiracy) which want to take over the world and worships a machine messiah named Alexander that when awakened tries to destroy the goblins that helped wake him to create a better world. Horrified the other goblins then helps the players fight this Alexander

“The Illuminati could be seen as Christians, with Quickthinx being Jesus. Shanoa could be seen as being akin to an angel, as could possibly Alexander Prime. You could be seen as having wrestled God/a God. Or I could be completely full of shit overthinking things.

I do think there's something to be said on how data gained from Alexander and later Omega, would be combined to send G'raha to the First from the Doomed Timeline, saving you and the future”

@arandomshotinthedark remarks in last paragraphs of the above link

while that’s a fascinating analysis, I find the focus on the development of Goblin Christianity out of Goblin Judaism a bit uncomfortable and supersessionist but fascinating plot point nonetheless

Goblins in Harry Potter

Harry Potter’s goblins are greedy bankers who care only for their in-group and their goods. No matter how charitably you slice it that Griphook is just reclaiming a sacred artifact and helps the heroes he still betrays them for the artifact and his hatred of wizards and muggles is treated as his problem and not trauma or paranoia. Rowling truly believes you should shrug off oppression as her essays on house elves show

The video game Hogwarts: Legacy that was written by a literal neo nazi goes further elaborates on this by having the plot center on quelling a goblin revolt. Regardless of your actions and the revelations that the goblins were merely pawns of an evil wizard, you cannot change the way people view goblins even in the more compassionate ending and it implies the only good goblins are two who don’t fight for their rights as those movements with inevitably be corrupted by bad actors. More subtly, goblins artifacts look like judaica, notably you can recover a ceremonial ram’s horn that’s oddly like a shofar. Why a race of beings that live underground and have never kept livestock use a ram’s horn and not the silver or gold they are famed for is never explained. The only explanation is the writer wanted to mock jews

I will disagree with a common criticism of the game being blood libel as there is no child kidnapping. The ‘child’ being kidnapped is the teenage player character and you very much foil the goblins attempt to kidnap you. The fact that the goblins are willing to kidnap a child to keep you from unraveling their plot is bad enough but it’s not blood libel

Goblincore

Goblincore is not antisemitic at all. It’s basically combining being a collector of shiny trinkets and not caring about appearance. Behind the fantasy name is a straight forward aesthetic that opens up “the hoodie and jeans, messy hair don’t care, I collect pop vinyls and old nintendos” aesthetic to people who aren’t cishet men.

I judge movements by their actions and not by what they claim to be hence gamergate is a hate movement, cottagecore is tradwifery for leftist women and goblincore is a -core for queer nerds who want to a less bigoted version of nerd culture or cottagecore without the misogyny. They’re linking goblins to jews they’re enbodying and empathizing with the goblins. If you movement is using the fantasy creature to promote empathy instead of xenophobia then more power to you

Lizards for David Icke

David Icke decided to use science fiction to stoke his antisemitism. Icke believes all major institutions are run by shapeshifting Lizards (aka reptilians) from the moon here to colonize humanity and enslave us. Icke also believed the all popes , all presidents and prime minister and every Zionist was actually a reptilian shapeshifter. Since the overlap between Zionist and jew is significant, Icke all but admitted he sees most jews as subhuman shapeshiftering lizards. Even the staunchest antizionists laugh this nonsense off (Alice Walker not included) and his theories are more popular with Nazis. Considering original Nazis stole from Blavatsky’s mysticism of the aryan descendants of the hypeborean race from antarctica that’s just tradition at this point

Lizards in Dracula

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Count Dracula is compared to lizard when he crawls up a wall that a human like the narrator Jonathan Harker cannot (until Jonathan manages to do just that rendering the point moot). This a non issue since it was written before the reptilian was a concept. It is however used to dehumanize the count as other not code him as specifically Jewish. It’s xenophobia, not antisemitism. So maybe the people in making lizard jokes and the people smugly accusing them of antisemitism should both cut that shit out

Lizards in she-ra

I was told Double Trouble was an antisemitic stereotype because they only care about money and being good at infiltration and lack morals (same could be said of Marc Spector and yet no one calls him an antisemitic stereotype). Oh and they’re a Lizard creature like the Reptilians in Icke’s screed.

this is so patently ludicrous to the point where I believe this was a psyop to push Jews out of the She-Ra fandom, because oh my G-D this could not be made in good faith.

TL;DR

Goblins often antisemitic but not necessarily, Lizards almost never antisemitic unless Reptilian is used
