daylighteclipsed:my first time watching this i was like OH SHIT, then my second time watching it i was like wait but the other goblin can understand Steve and Eli, but my third time i’m back to OH SHIT and here’s whyunlike Steve and Eli, Jim understands what this goblin is saying back to him. The goblin Steve and Eli find seems to understand them, but it can’t speak back in a language they understand. It has to rely on other means of communication to translate English, like the alphabet toddler toy. Jim and this blood goblin are having a two-way speaking conversation in what we can assume is the same language. This thing is talking to him and he can understand it perfectly.Not only that, it’s doing what he wants. It stops when he says stop and answers when he wants an answer. I don’t know if its significant that its from the Darklands or not, but it definitely makes the situation more eerie.A burning pile of crates also conveniently falls over and blocks the way before Jim’s friends can run over and really see or hear the exchange. And Jim doesn’t reveal to them what happened between he and the blood goblin either even though he looks startled enough by it. (And then sorta calculating; you can almost see the gears turning in his head.)Similar to the Deep this is possible foreshadowing that only Jim knows about, and his friends are probably being left in the dark on purpose. If they’d managed to hear or see his exchange with the blood goblin that would’ve given too much away too quickly, just like if Jim had come right out and told them he faced a dark troll/changeling version of himself in the Deep. -- source link
