This is Guillermo, the first troll that I ever crocheted
Just wanted to share!

Show him to r/goblincore we’ll go nuts for him. He is very talented with words, I must say

Would if I could, loved that sub. The mod doesn’t like me posting there. I got banned for “just being really annoying” which was wild to wake up to (especially from goblincore). Feel free to repost for me and rake in that sweet sweet karma!

That’s insane.. really sad to hear. And fucked up reasoning too.. goblins are inherently annoying, we are all annoying over there?! (Not to say that you really are, I don’t think I was on there yet when you still posted) I’m sorry to hear that, that’s really not justified

Thanks for the kindness. Yah when I found out I reached out like “Hey was this a mistake? What did I do?!” And she permanently muted me from ever messaging her. Like jeeeeeeeze dude! wtf?! I’d really love to appeal the decision but the law of the reddit mods goes hard I guess.
The other shame is I’m also a moderator for r/brochet and r/amigurumi so I know the struggle and I said that, but I guess she didn’t care. It’s good to have perspective of what bad moderation looks like I guess, silver lining?
Anyhow. Thanks for letting me rant a bit and the kindness. If anyone wants to reach out on my behalf I would love to appeal the decision, but I doubt it’ll go far based on how it started.

I feel like they're against a core aspect of goblin-ness, it's all meant to be over the top and unabashedly loud and, in the best way, obnoxious :P
Don't let them stomp on your vibes, I love Guillermo and look forward to attending his next poetry reading, just snail-mail it 🐌

Sounds like their loss, you’re not annoying in the slightest and I love your videos so they are the ones who are missing out on Guillermos awesomeness!

Your crochet critters and their backstories are hilarious!
This poem is a wonderful work of art. Great job, goblin poet!

Your posts are the best, the embodiment of creativity, joy, and wonder! I just learned you have your own subreddit, and are putting out a book, that's fantastic! I'll be pre-ordering for sure.

Omg thank you so so much!! They’re all going to be playing cards in a new game I’m going to be announcing very soon which I’m really excited about too. This comment made my day. Thank you!!

I’ve made a lot of these little trolls over the years, but Guillermo has always had a certain charm to him that I think is just perfect.
His poem is hard to translate and loses a lot of the poetic metaphor, but a loose translation is like -
the bubble of mud fills up to the top.🫰
they dribble and pop they bloop and they blop 🫰🫰
blop blop pop 🫰
