[ID: A digital painting of three four-legged goblin creatures. The largest is a hairless creature with pink skin that has dark blacker spots, as well as green eyes. It has a long thin tail, a long snout, fangs, and very large pointed ears. It is laying with its arms crossed over each other. The next creature is the smallest one. It is orange and slightly fuzzy, with yellow eyes, small pointed ears, and a stubby tail. It is standing and giving a huge gape-mouth grin at a ball. The last creature is dark in color and has very long hair all over its body and long tail. End ID]

Rating: Cute!
A number of you expressed concern over the not-cute goblin pic in our last update, and were wondering if there were ways to get it out of that situation. Good news! One of our astute followers suggested that the goblin in question looked like Blorbo, and after a bit of digging I was able to confirm that it was, in fact, a picture of Blorbo! Blorbo was rescued about six months ago by Goblin Week shelter, and adopted into a loving home. Here you can see him playing with his new sisters, Scrimblo and Glup!
You can tell that Blorbo is happy in this pic - his ears are pointed up and forwards, and his tail is sticking up and out. You might be thrown off by the color of his eyes - while many goblins flash yellow eyes when they are stressed or frightened, it can also be a sign of excitement or anticipation. With the additional information of his body language, we can tell that Blorbo is more excited than scared. Likewise, Scrimblo and Glup are relaxed and at ease, and Scrimblo’s eyes are the typical happy green color of a contented goblin. With her long hair, Glup’s emotions are a little harder to read, but it looks to me like her ears are up and she’s relaxed and calm.

i couldn’t leave the poor little guy in that situation, now could i?
every so often you get a little too close to self-recognition through the blorbo and you gotta put that thought in a locked box for inspection at a later date
Sometimes your relatonship with a fictional character is too formal for them to be a Blorbo. They wander onto the screen or page and it’s like oh, Cousin Blorbmorton has come to pay their respects.
