I can’t elaborate on this right now because I’m in class but I’ve been thinking all morning about how our frequent comparisons of cats (especially hairless) to goblins means we should really think more about cat-like goblins
I’m thinking like
goblins with mouths full of needle-sharp little teeth and eyeshine and a creepy tendency to stare without blinking at the things that catch their attention
but also
goblins who squint blissfully when they’re relaxing, goblins whose feelings are betrayed by the movement of their ears, goblin parents affectionately hoisting their infants up by the neck
goblins who have spent generations living in less-than-stable caves, developing a knack for landing on their feet no matter how far they fall (or how hard they’re thrown)
goblins with surprising leg strength, who can get up any vertical surface you put in front of them with a running start and a bit of scrabbling
goblins with literally no concept of furniture just perching on the arms of chairs or flopping out all over the gotdang floor. one really smug little goblin pleased as hell with herself cause she just sat down in a box.
You fool. You complete and utter fool. You left out the best part:
Goblin Toe Beans.
I wasn’t sure whether they should have outright paws or not, but I think you’re right. the ideal goblins are essentially small, hairless tabaxi
oh I was SO hoping someone would draw this!! this is very good and EXACTLY what I was envisioning and – hang on, holy shit, is that second one doing a surprised tongue blep??? absolutely superb.
