Lore Sjöberg<p>One favorite bit of goblin culture I made up is chew toys. Goblins, even adults, tend to carry around nice-tasting roots, and they chew on them when they’re bored or need to concentrate.</p><p>This derives from my resentment that cigarettes are unhealthy. The ritual of taking out, lighting, and smoking cigarettes sounds so soothing to my ADHD, but I want to live and not smell bad. </p><p>So chew toys are a cross between cigarettes and fiddle toys. They’re not addictive, but they’re soothing. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/booklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booklore</span></a></p>
Lore Sjöberg<p>Here’s one way goblin deconstruction and ADHD overlap: Goblin society works on a “need a penny take a penny have a penny leave a penny” basis for small everyday objects. In their view, what’s the point of “owning” something no goblin can be expected to keep track of, like cups and styluses?</p><p>So, because goblins have a habit of grabbing what they need, they get called thieves. And because they leave stuff behind, they’re labeled slovenly. But in goblin settlements, it’s a good system. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/booklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>booklore</span></a></p>
