Salem The ukulele I dislike because I disagree, I am only a bleach bottle but I know things... Goblins are always cute in their own way, that's we she stans along with us
awe thank you. but really goblin dodie doesn't have blonde hair with ombre mint at the ends, with wild shoulder length hair and tired eyes and a mix of anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, nightmares, and social anxiety. i have ukulele, guitar, piano, tennis, softball, drawing and writing. those are the only things I'm good at. and my family says that i will never make a living with any of those things, so once I'm out of high school there is no hope for me.
Salem The ukulele I wanna be a friend to you, can we? I just want you to have hope in life, I don't think there's a single human on this earth whose not of any positive potential. I'm so sorry about your family and all the other things
"i just feel okay." And then secret for the mad plays in my head *"there will be a day, when you'll say you're okay and then mean it"* And then the tears start to fall...
KIDS BUY THE BOOK. MY SISTER BOUGHT IT FOR ME AND IM SHOOOOOOOOK. DODIE’S WRITING STYLE IS SO LOVELY AND SHE FINDS A WAY TO SOMEHOW MAKE HER WRITING CONVERSATIONAL. My point is, her book isn’t about being “talked at” it’s written so that her advice sounds like a friend. It’s quite wonderful really.
I have a goblin side, then I got married and found out my husband had a goblin side, so know we goblin together and it is THEE most fun :) thanksDodie.
YES!!! YEAH YES!!! i SWEAR ITS LIKE U READ MY MIND EVERY TIME U MAKE A VIDEO this no makeup vs makeup thing has been so touchy for me recently but this video cleared so much up in my lil head u are the most Powerful Icon Of All Time
i feel like goblin angie is just the way i present myself because i'm just so lazy and for some reason half-consciously and half-unconsciously try to give off the air of "i don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me" but that just ends up in me looking like i don't really care about... anything, including my appearance. what comes out of this is i'm actually embarrassed of myself all the time and try to hide me from everything, so people don't see angie or goblin angie, who is... the same... person. that didn't make sense. but thanks for the vid dodie xx
I would much prefer to meet you then to meet someone who is trying to be someone they're not :) x it can be hard to embrace our true selves...but the right people will be drawn to it and give you another world of happiness x
I think everyone has that side and it's really healthy to put it in perspective and give it a cute lil name and persona and stuff. I really need to focus on that as well because I always hated (and still kinda hate) my Goblin Sofi, and I hide her at all cost - even when I was in the hospital for over three months I made sure to always wear makeup and look as "myself" and put together as possible, which in hindsight is ridiculous. But I associate Goblin Sofi with my depression and bpd and anorexia and all the shit that's making it hard to look "normal" and I really don't want people to see that. I want to look like I have my shit together and Goblin Sofi seems like the complete opposite of that. But she's not. And that's what I need to accept. She's just as valid and lovable and *me* and people won't think any less of me just because I let that inner goblin out from time to time. I myself actually really love seeing the goblin side of my friends because it feels so honest and trusting. So I'll try to remember your approach to this whenever I feel disgusted with myself and am too embarrassed to let Goblin Sofi out. Thank you so much ❤️ (ok rant over, sorry for the ramble)
I have a little goblin side too: goblin christy -coverd in paint -bed head -ramen,squash,or broccoli -mascara that didnt come off when I washed my face -spots -and CUTE
so dodies version of "goblin dodie" is like tyler josephs version of blurryface. they both represent insecurities and both tyler and dodie have acknowledged these sides of themselves exist. so does that mean that everyone has a different side of themselves that represent insecurities?
*_okk pals storytime this is important i feel very proud for noticing the parallels_* in school we were reading "steppenwolf" by hermann hesse and it is about this guy who feels like he has two souls, one is this social, preppy, nice side and the other one is depressive and despises everything human, so the other one's basically what he calls the wolf. soo spoiler and fast forward to the end of the novel where he finds himself in some weird magical theatre that is supposed to show him his true inner self (i really believe there were drugs involved in the writing process of this novel, which is besides the point but still) and he looks onto a chess board of many many little figures and he realises that these are all of his sides; he's not just two sides. he has an infinite amount of feelings and sides and every single one of them is valid and every single one is to be appreciated. so dodie, thank god you appreciate what you call the goblin. because probably, you are so much more than tumblr lovely lady dodie and goblin dodie and most definitely they are all amazing. and they make you into this beautiful person we all love! #goblindodieappreciationpost
I can't remember who said this or where I read it but basically there is no one uniform *you* because every person you meet and who knows you will have a slightly different perception of you and you yourself have a unique perception of who you are, perhaps made up of different moods/sides of you... so yeah but of a mind fuck but also cool to acknowledge that we are complex and infinite in how we are perceived!
It's kinda creepy that I'm reading the book right now haha but you're right and I simply love Herman Hesse he's my favourite author so y'all read his books especially Demian that's my favourite book and ugh I love books
Loved this. I don't have a goblin me, but I have a... potato me? I have 2-3 depressive episodes a year. The kind where you feel really numb and everything takes tons of mental energy. I often take two hours to get out of bed and start my day because it's just so hard. I don't love potato Sierra yet, but I've learned to coexist with her, even as she frustrates normal, Type-A, ambitious me.
Goblin me is otherwise known as Flare-up Lila. She can often be found wearing the same pair of pyjamas for a week, inhaling pain killers, watching reruns of trashy sitcoms and eating breakfast at 12pm.
Vivs GM yep, I am. Mostly goblin me is caused by my chronic pain flaring up (hence the pain killers), but there is a tad bit of depression in there, which luckily I'm very much recovering from :)
Lila Day hello fellow chronic illness/pain friend. I can so relate to this 😂 I used to be down on myself during these times but like dodie I love the goblin/flare up same pjs and unwashed hair Daisy haha
When I am a goblin I put my hair all up in a bun, so my overly large forehead is out, no makeup on so really red, chubby cheeks and I lie like a worm in a pile of blankets. I tend to watch endless youtube videos with a pot of hummus and some carrot sticks. BUT this is honestly my most comfortable and content form, no matter how atrocious I might look on the outside. I feel v v happy.
this made me burst out laughing. coz same and thank you. (bit longer than 6 months for me..about 2 years. In my third year now..and lookin semi presentable)
I used to see myself as two sides. My introverted self, who read books and drank too much tea and was always clean and nice in his pajamas and was always depressed. And my extroverted self, what my friends called my party self. He wore bright colors and too much makeup and yelled and drank too much soda and was happy. My ex friends always told me to put party me away. Told me that’s not the real me, so why act like it. It sucked but now I’m living as happily as I ever have and I’m a mix of both. I drink too much tea and wear a lot of makeup and feel good in my pajamas and dressed up and I love to be in public as much as I love to be alone with my best friend.
This made me cry. I have never been able to call myself cute or say anything about myself that made me feel good about my appearance. I’m going to try this. I’ve been clean from self harm for like 60 days. But it hasn’t made me feel better. I’m going to try. I guess if I remember I’ll update later.
the first time i watched this video i was 14 years old and hated every version of myself, was disgusted by myself and couldn’t grasp the meaning behind it. now im going on 19 and found this vid again and it means so much to me :) i love every version of myself.
Hey I’ve had a journey in self confidence over well pretty much all of my teen years as I’m sure pretty much everyone does. I’ve since about a year ago thinking that punishment and guilt was how I can “control” myself as if I am just a scattered mess of actions and feelings that I can corral into a neat little pen. I didn’t realize how difficult I had been making it for myself, thinking I deserved to be alone and almost enjoying? the pain. This video has sort of gave some affirmation to the ever present (no matter how small) part of me that knows I don’t have to do this that I can be happier without punishing myself for being myself. It’s a small step in a marathon but I know i will make it in the end whether the rude goblin side of me gets dragged with or walks with me keeping its distance knowing that I will have days when I am weak and it can attack but that I can grow from every one. I will hope and try to remember that I can be myself (whatever I want to be) and make it through not to the finish line but rather a place where I can accept. Thank you for making me realize that everyone has flaws and that you are not strong for pointing out someone’s “mistakes”, but that you are infinitely stronger for seeing the good in people long after you may notice their flaws. 💜
This made me teared up. I normally get insecure with how I look but this helped to also love my inner goblin and that its okay to look that way because it's healthy for the brain and for myself to be more confident and such. I wish I watched this sooner this helped a lot and I hope to always remember this.
i too have a goblin side but it’s always there unless i’m specifically at a party and instead of it being a goblin i like to call it trash person and i’m so glad you made this video because i’ve recently become so happy and confident and it’s comforting to know that someone i look up to had a similar side to them
this means a lot to me. i'm in the process of fully loving and accepting myself. i learned to look at myself and instead of going "well maybe when i'll have clear skin" or "well maybe when i'll have the money to afford a nose job" or "well maybe when i'll learn how to contour properly... maybe then i'll be pretty" I love myself now. i love my acne and my weird shaped nose and my double chin, and i learned to look and them and shrug it off. i am me for the rest of my life. i better roll with it.
I left Evan’s vid for this and I’m stressed now. Okay I just finished the vid. It was wonderful. Love you Dodie. Heading back to Evan’s vid now and maybe. Now I’ll be able to meet you and Goblin Dodie since I can hopefully learn to move to the UK
This video weirdly brought me to tears. I guess I had the same issue feeling fake with the look that I present to people and the "true ugly me". It's a wonderful thing to be accepted by your friends, even the most insecure and "ugly" parts of yourself. I'm relieved and happy to hear that you embraced your insecurities and I hope to do the same. Thank you dodes, you're the best always
Me and my friend Ava were in PE recently (and by recently i mean at christmas last year) and we were doing badminton. The net was set up, and we were told to get rackets. Ava and I crouched and crawled under the net while pulling weird faces and making gutteral weird noises. 'We look like goblins.' She laughed 'That's my perpetual state.' 'Me too.' 'Okay, goblin.' So we call eachother giblin now. We'll meet first thing in the morning on the days and its just 'hi goblin.' And I think its lovely how we've just accepted 'okay. We're goblins, thats fine.'
My therapist once told me that growing up means learning to get along with all of yourself and being able to appreciate your own presence even when you're the only one around. (He also has a theory that that happens around the time people turn 27? Idk, I still have 3 years to go until then and for now I can't imagine it, but who knows what the future holds)
Flynn Bantau is the theory about turning 27 that your brain fully matures at that age and you're actually an adult mentally? Because that's true (aPPARENTLY! I've met some pretty childish 27 year olds so idk)
i have a goblin side of me who i abhorred when i was younger, but now i kind of love her because she _is_ quite pretty but she's also fun and intelligent and all that unsuperficial stuff so who wouldn't love her, y'know (i'm still learning to love her in pictures and such but irl she's pretty grand)
This actually helped a lot. I have no problem with sometimes being a goblin in real life but as soon as I take selfies or people take pictures of me I always feel like a goblin. I'm really trying to not ask them to redo the picture and my friends have started to not even show me the pictures before sending them on snapchat because they know I'll hate it (even though it looks perfectly fine and natural). I just care too much andd I'll try to care less about such small things like being a goblin sometimes. Thanks Dodie
This is so refreshing, everyone has their inner goblin, speaking out about it is a visual representation to what we all somewhat feel in one way or another :) I think you are amaze balls either way x
Thank you for talking about "goblin doddie"! I too struggle with the pieces of myself that I think are not as acceptable to others. As a result, I started hating those pieces of myself for many years. Now, I am trying to work on being gentler with myself. Hearing how you have worked through some of those same feelings to actually loving goblin doddie is really helpful. ❤️
I do have, a big one too. And I feel you when you said that you hate her before ‘cause I still can’t find peace with her yet. And I also feel the same about the fake person that people see. One thing I want to tell ya, you’re luck to have such supportive friends. Cherish your friends you’ve got some good friends here.
I needed to hear this right now. For a long time I've seen myself as this ugly mess of a person. Like, I've had people tell me things like 'you clean up well.' and 'you're a good looking guy' but it's never felt true. A couple times one of my female friends let me borrow her foundation and it just made me feel... better? Like it gave me this shield to hide behind if that makes sense. I'm thinking about using a bit of makeup full time just to give me that little bit of a self confidence boost. But this video also made me realize that If i'm gonna be in a relationship with someone and it's gonna work, then I'm gonna have to be okay with all of me. Because she won't just be around when I'm looking my 'best'. Or when I feel okay with myself. So thanks, Dodie.
The fact that she loves her “bad sides” just makes her even more beautiful if that’s even possible. I feel like so many people need this in their lives. 11/10
lol sorry i wrote a dissertation bc this video got me thinking about the roles of "goblins" in society; here is a brain dump no one asked for: whats so funny is that my entire friend group and I call ourselves goblins or cryptids. I used to be also very ashamed of my "goblin" side. I think the reason why young girls feel shame for being gross and not showering or staying in pajamas is society.From a young age we are shown what being a proper lady is and thats being poised and put together. In high school I was ridiculed by my family for when I stayed in bed all day and berated for when my room got messy or when I burped or farted or whatever. These things are seen as taboo because the media shows that girls who do this sort of thing are seen in a negative light. This thought was reinforced by the other girls around me, all my girlfriends no matter how silly and rowdy we were we always maintained the poise demonstrated to us from society/media. Going to college and being exposed to how boys live was a culture shock. Why is it okay for boys to be gross? Why isn't it frowned upon? Well we know why its sexism in media. I mean for god sakes girls who are trapped on a deserted island in movie have perfect eyebrows and waxed armpits, we are taught literally in any context girls have to be perfect how unfair is that???? Now were are seeing a rise in girls calling themselves goblins, calling themselves the monsters of the night, and embracing the taboo. And I love it! Dodie thank you for this video, thank you for showing young girls that yes while its nice to have the aesthetics and present yourself as conventionally poised its also okay to be not that and be a goblin. This is an incredible message and one that is not spoken enough. from one goblin to another
bethany lee THANK GOD FOR THIS FEMINIST WRITING I WAS WAITING TO SEE SOMEONE MORE ADEQUATE WITH WORDS EXPLAIN THIS IN THE COMMENTS AND IT IS SO GOOD N TRUE I LOVE THIS THANK YOU
The way you talk about yourself is actually quite lovely and sweet. You’re so genuine and talk about thoughts I’m sure many people have. This video shows how much you’re growing and inspires me to look at myself in a different way ! I can’t wait to see you on tour and Embrace the goblin haha
this video was so healing for me - i feel a bit silly now as up until six minutes and five seconds ago I literally thought I was the only one that had two versions of myself: the 'made up' version and the 'at home' edition, and everyone else looked great and had their shit together all the time. so to conclude thank you for this video i feel so much better knowing that everyone else is a little bit of a mess too, and this is for sure my new favourite dodie video that I will definitely keep coming back to
I love how paradox your story with the picture is; if you retake it you 'lie' by faking that it was a great day and you looked perfect and prepared for the photo but if you say you like it it's also a 'lie' because as you took it you didn't like it. But realising why you don't feel like it's a great picture and that it can still be one, if only possibly in a different way than you had hoped for, does make it somehow true, I find.
It was one time, this is true. But there were TWO ketchup-y plates UNDER the duvet so...
(also hello yes good vid)
how many times did the "bloody tampon" thing happen
Sometimes you've just got to consume ketchup in bed. Ketchup plate sandwich yum

Little do we know that was actually a teaser for this vid
together?!? oh god
I think everyone has that side and it's really healthy to put it in perspective and give it a cute lil name and persona and stuff. I really need to focus on that as well because I always hated (and still kinda hate) my Goblin Sofi, and I hide her at all cost - even when I was in the hospital for over three months I made sure to always wear makeup and look as "myself" and put together as possible, which in hindsight is ridiculous. But I associate Goblin Sofi with my depression and bpd and anorexia and all the shit that's making it hard to look "normal" and I really don't want people to see that. I want to look like I have my shit together and Goblin Sofi seems like the complete opposite of that. But she's not. And that's what I need to accept. She's just as valid and lovable and *me* and people won't think any less of me just because I let that inner goblin out from time to time. I myself actually really love seeing the goblin side of my friends because it feels so honest and trusting. So I'll try to remember your approach to this whenever I feel disgusted with myself and am too embarrassed to let Goblin Sofi out. Thank you so much ❤️
(ok rant over, sorry for the ramble)
sofia love this well said
Hi Sofia I just wanted to say...you are a beautiful person both inside and out and the right people we see that sparkle and be attracted to it x
I love you 🙃
I have a little goblin side too: goblin christy

-bed head
-ramen,squash,or broccoli
-mascara that didnt come off when I washed my face
-spots
-and CUTE
MAC AND CHEESE MAC AND CHEESE
neymeyfeyhey they really all agreed that goblin dodie stans some mac and cheese
Seriously need a drawing of Dodie as goblin dodie
so dodies version of "goblin dodie" is like tyler josephs version of blurryface. they both represent insecurities and both tyler and dodie have acknowledged these sides of themselves exist. so does that mean that everyone has a different side of themselves that represent insecurities?
All the world’s a stage-maybe that’s one of the lesser-sung parts to play.
*_okk pals storytime this is important i feel very proud for noticing the parallels_*
in school we were reading "steppenwolf" by hermann hesse and it is about this guy who feels like he has two souls, one is this social, preppy, nice side and the other one is depressive and despises everything human, so the other one's basically what he calls the wolf. soo spoiler and fast forward to the end of the novel where he finds himself in some weird magical theatre that is supposed to show him his true inner self (i really believe there were drugs involved in the writing process of this novel, which is besides the point but still) and he looks onto a chess board of many many little figures and he realises that these are all of his sides; he's not just two sides. he has an infinite amount of feelings and sides and every single one of them is valid and every single one is to be appreciated. so dodie, thank god you appreciate what you call the goblin. because probably, you are so much more than tumblr lovely lady dodie and goblin dodie and most definitely they are all amazing. and they make you into this beautiful person we all love! #goblindodieappreciationpost
I want to read this now! Also reminds me of Sanders sides
Aaaaah Sanders sides yes ❤️ If dodie collabed with Thomas on a Sanders Sides vid... 😊😊😊
Quality Analysis 10/10
I can't remember who said this or where I read it but basically there is no one uniform *you* because every person you meet and who knows you will have a slightly different perception of you and you yourself have a unique perception of who you are, perhaps made up of different moods/sides of you... so yeah but of a mind fuck but also cool to acknowledge that we are complex and infinite in how we are perceived!
It's kinda creepy that I'm reading the book right now haha but you're right and I simply love Herman Hesse he's my favourite author so y'all read his books especially Demian that's my favourite book and ugh I love books
Loved this.
I don't have a goblin me, but I have a... potato me?
I have 2-3 depressive episodes a year. The kind where you feel really numb and everything takes tons of mental energy. I often take two hours to get out of bed and start my day because it's just so hard.
I don't love potato Sierra yet, but I've learned to coexist with her, even as she frustrates normal, Type-A, ambitious me.
I'm always Goblin Ryan
Goblin me is otherwise known as Flare-up Lila. She can often be found wearing the same pair of pyjamas for a week, inhaling pain killers, watching reruns of trashy sitcoms and eating breakfast at 12pm.
I loved your sharing, and to some extent I can relate, but I'd like to know are you aware that it might be that your inner goblin is depressed?
Vivs GM yep, I am. Mostly goblin me is caused by my chronic pain flaring up (hence the pain killers), but there is a tad bit of depression in there, which luckily I'm very much recovering from :)
I'm shocked at how much I can relate to this
Lila Day hello fellow chronic illness/pain friend. I can so relate to this 😂 I used to be down on myself during these times but like dodie I love the goblin/flare up same pjs and unwashed hair Daisy haha
chronic illness buddy here, i can relate and we are some of the strongest people, keep on going!😊💞
When I am a goblin I put my hair all up in a bun, so my overly large forehead is out, no makeup on so really red, chubby cheeks and I lie like a worm in a pile of blankets. I tend to watch endless youtube videos with a pot of hummus and some carrot sticks. BUT this is honestly my most comfortable and content form, no matter how atrocious I might look on the outside. I feel v v happy.
Sue Fourtwenty at least you eat healthy snacks, your goblin side cares about your well being
For the first 6 months of uni i was a goblin, people refereed to me as 'the plauge'. Was a good time.
this made me burst out laughing. coz same and thank you.
(bit longer than 6 months for me..about 2 years. In my third year now..and lookin semi presentable)
I think that is still me during uni 😂
I used to see myself as two sides. My introverted self, who read books and drank too much tea and was always clean and nice in his pajamas and was always depressed. And my extroverted self, what my friends called my party self. He wore bright colors and too much makeup and yelled and drank too much soda and was happy. My ex friends always told me to put party me away. Told me that’s not the real me, so why act like it. It sucked but now I’m living as happily as I ever have and I’m a mix of both. I drink too much tea and wear a lot of makeup and feel good in my pajamas and dressed up and I love to be in public as much as I love to be alone with my best friend.
This made me cry. I have never been able to call myself cute or say anything about myself that made me feel good about my appearance. I’m going to try this. I’ve been clean from self harm for like 60 days. But it hasn’t made me feel better. I’m going to try. I guess if I remember I’ll update later.
The only goblin version of myself I can think of is the one that screams at the GPS
goblin dodie is my favorite dodie
Dodie is a whole mood
i’m so happy you have people in your life who helped you embrace every part of you that’s the best thing you could ask for in a friendship x
I will make sure I do this after my shower tonight 💛
hahaha goblin Dodie is me af
I love how you're at the point of your career when you can just post randomly and everyone gets excited lol
💜💜
exactly how i’m feeling bout myself haha
the first time i watched this video i was 14 years old and hated every version of myself, was disgusted by myself and couldn’t grasp the meaning behind it. now im going on 19 and found this vid again and it means so much to me :) i love every version of myself.
Hey
I’ve had a journey in self confidence over well pretty much all of my teen years as I’m sure pretty much everyone does. I’ve since about a year ago thinking that punishment and guilt was how I can “control” myself as if I am just a scattered mess of actions and feelings that I can corral into a neat little pen. I didn’t realize how difficult I had been making it for myself, thinking I deserved to be alone and almost enjoying? the pain. This video has sort of gave some affirmation to the ever present (no matter how small) part of me that knows I don’t have to do this that I can be happier without punishing myself for being myself. It’s a small step in a marathon but I know i will make it in the end whether the rude goblin side of me gets dragged with or walks with me keeping its distance knowing that I will have days when I am weak and it can attack but that I can grow from every one. I will hope and try to remember that I can be myself (whatever I want to be) and make it through not to the finish line but rather a place where I can accept.
Thank you for making me realize that everyone has flaws and that you are not strong for pointing out someone’s “mistakes”, but that you are infinitely stronger for seeing the good in people long after you may notice their flaws. 💜

I definitely have a goblin side and I love her. I'm most comfortable at home in my pjs, no make up, bags, untamed hair, not caring how I look.
i missed you dodie awwhhh
we👏love👏goblin👏dodie
i👏love👏goblin👏dodie
This made me teared up. I normally get insecure with how I look but this helped to also love my inner goblin and that its okay to look that way because it's healthy for the brain and for myself to be more confident and such. I wish I watched this sooner this helped a lot and I hope to always remember this.
i too have a goblin side but it’s always there unless i’m specifically at a party and instead of it being a goblin i like to call it trash person and i’m so glad you made this video because i’ve recently become so happy and confident and it’s comforting to know that someone i look up to had a similar side to them

She don't shapeshift, she contours
(anyone get that reference? Plz)
this means a lot to me. i'm in the process of fully loving and accepting myself. i learned to look at myself and instead of going "well maybe when i'll have clear skin" or "well maybe when i'll have the money to afford a nose job" or "well maybe when i'll learn how to contour properly... maybe then i'll be pretty"
I love myself now. i love my acne and my weird shaped nose and my double chin, and i learned to look and them and shrug it off. i am me for the rest of my life. i better roll with it.
I left Evan’s vid for this and I’m stressed now.
Okay I just finished the vid. It was wonderful. Love you Dodie. Heading back to Evan’s vid now and maybe. Now I’ll be able to meet you and Goblin Dodie since I can hopefully learn to move to the UK
This video weirdly brought me to tears. I guess I had the same issue feeling fake with the look that I present to people and the "true ugly me". It's a wonderful thing to be accepted by your friends, even the most insecure and "ugly" parts of yourself. I'm relieved and happy to hear that you embraced your insecurities and I hope to do the same. Thank you dodes, you're the best always
ive always loved the little glimpses of goblin dodie we get, and im so glad youre happier with yourself recently
*that moment you realize you’re just a goblin*
it’s amazing how beautiful you truly look to all of us, i wish you could see yourself how we do
Me and my friend Ava were in PE recently (and by recently i mean at christmas last year) and we were doing badminton. The net was set up, and we were told to get rackets. Ava and I crouched and crawled under the net while pulling weird faces and making gutteral weird noises.
'We look like goblins.' She laughed
'That's my perpetual state.'
'Me too.'
'Okay, goblin.'
So we call eachother giblin now. We'll meet first thing in the morning on the days and its just 'hi goblin.' And I think its lovely how we've just accepted 'okay. We're goblins, thats fine.'
okay but can we get the goblin dodie and goblin dean collab all of us were thinking about while watching this video?
OMG LITERALLY WHAT WAS ON MY MIND also hi diego, love your videos
Legit lol
Thanks again, Sav. x
LIPS.
fittieeeeee
i love your sort-of "classic dodie" simple talky vidoes =)
My therapist once told me that growing up means learning to get along with all of yourself and being able to appreciate your own presence even when you're the only one around. (He also has a theory that that happens around the time people turn 27? Idk, I still have 3 years to go until then and for now I can't imagine it, but who knows what the future holds)
Flynn Bantau is the theory about turning 27 that your brain fully matures at that age and you're actually an adult mentally? Because that's true (aPPARENTLY! I've met some pretty childish 27 year olds so idk)
Zoie B oh it might be rooted in that, he didn't specify 🤔
Pixieindi that just means 11years to practice ♥♥
*Big Mood*
i have a goblin side of me who i abhorred when i was younger, but now i kind of love her because she _is_ quite pretty but she's also fun and intelligent and all that unsuperficial stuff so who wouldn't love her, y'know (i'm still learning to love her in pictures and such but irl she's pretty grand)
This actually helped a lot. I have no problem with sometimes being a goblin in real life but as soon as I take selfies or people take pictures of me I always feel like a goblin. I'm really trying to not ask them to redo the picture and my friends have started to not even show me the pictures before sending them on snapchat because they know I'll hate it (even though it looks perfectly fine and natural). I just care too much andd I'll try to care less about such small things like being a goblin sometimes. Thanks Dodie
This is so refreshing, everyone has their inner goblin, speaking out about it is a visual representation to what we all somewhat feel in one way or another :) I think you are amaze balls either way x
i have a goblin side but shes more of a *groundhog* mixed with a demented rabbit and she smells like horse
LIPS
*This is the inspiration for JackandDean's Goblin Video*
Thank you for talking about "goblin doddie"! I too struggle with the pieces of myself that I think are not as acceptable to others. As a result, I started hating those pieces of myself for many years. Now, I am trying to work on being gentler with myself. Hearing how you have worked through some of those same feelings to actually loving goblin doddie is really helpful. ❤️
this was honestly an important video, thank you sharing, dodie!! xx
I dont have a physical goblin side but more of an emotional/mental one i feel like
**goblin voice**
*LlIPSsS*
tilly ; they should have gotten dean in on this video ansnsnsns
you mean ‘your inner goddess’
I do have, a big one too. And I feel you when you said that you hate her before ‘cause I still can’t find peace with her yet. And I also feel the same about the fake person that people see. One thing I want to tell ya, you’re luck to have such supportive friends. Cherish your friends you’ve got some good friends here.
I needed to hear this right now. For a long time I've seen myself as this ugly mess of a person. Like, I've had people tell me things like 'you clean up well.' and 'you're a good looking guy' but it's never felt true. A couple times one of my female friends let me borrow her foundation and it just made me feel... better? Like it gave me this shield to hide behind if that makes sense. I'm thinking about using a bit of makeup full time just to give me that little bit of a self confidence boost. But this video also made me realize that If i'm gonna be in a relationship with someone and it's gonna work, then I'm gonna have to be okay with all of me. Because she won't just be around when I'm looking my 'best'. Or when I feel okay with myself. So thanks, Dodie.
"she's kind of here- she's dressed...so"
is this implying that goblin dodie is usually naked wOt
Zaina Soliman pyjamas probably....
The fact that she loves her “bad sides” just makes her even more beautiful if that’s even possible. I feel like so many people need this in their lives. 11/10
lol sorry i wrote a dissertation bc this video got me thinking about the roles of "goblins" in society; here is a brain dump no one asked for:
whats so funny is that my entire friend group and I call ourselves goblins or cryptids. I used to be also very ashamed of my "goblin" side. I think the reason why young girls feel shame for being gross and not showering or staying in pajamas is society.From a young age we are shown what being a proper lady is and thats being poised and put together.
In high school I was ridiculed by my family for when I stayed in bed all day and berated for when my room got messy or when I burped or farted or whatever. These things are seen as taboo because the media shows that girls who do this sort of thing are seen in a negative light. This thought was reinforced by the other girls around me, all my girlfriends no matter how silly and rowdy we were we always maintained the poise demonstrated to us from society/media.
Going to college and being exposed to how boys live was a culture shock. Why is it okay for boys to be gross? Why isn't it frowned upon? Well we know why its sexism in media. I mean for god sakes girls who are trapped on a deserted island in movie have perfect eyebrows and waxed armpits, we are taught literally in any context girls have to be perfect how unfair is that????
Now were are seeing a rise in girls calling themselves goblins, calling themselves the monsters of the night, and embracing the taboo. And I love it!
Dodie thank you for this video, thank you for showing young girls that yes while its nice to have the aesthetics and present yourself as conventionally poised its also okay to be not that and be a goblin. This is an incredible message and one that is not spoken enough.
from one goblin to another
bethany lee THANK GOD FOR THIS FEMINIST WRITING I WAS WAITING TO SEE SOMEONE MORE ADEQUATE WITH WORDS EXPLAIN THIS IN THE COMMENTS AND IT IS SO GOOD N TRUE I LOVE THIS THANK YOU
The way you talk about yourself is actually quite lovely and sweet. You’re so genuine and talk about thoughts I’m sure many people have. This video shows how much you’re growing and inspires me to look at myself in a different way ! I can’t wait to see you on tour and Embrace the goblin haha
I feel like goblin dodie is all of us in quarentine
omg that portrait of goblin dodie is actually amazing tho
This made my heart smile.we STAN goblin dodie and all her glory
As an actual goblin, I find this insensitive to my culture. 😂😂😂
koutashinji she looks like a goblin actually 😊
hahaha
Goblinism
I love the wholesome tone of this; love yourself and all your sides
I lovvvve the way dodie talks !! She doesn't scream at the camera like most youtubers ... She's so gentle... It's healing ! ❤️❤️
this is a beautiful video because it shows how sweet you and your friends are and I love it!! It’s so pure!!
okay but your skin looks really clear in this video and your hair is getting so long!!!!! i love it!!!!! i love you!!!!!
"Made out with a hotdog? SAMMY, THAT WAS ONE TIME!"
Nice reference
this video was so healing for me - i feel a bit silly now as up until six minutes and five seconds ago I literally thought I was the only one that had two versions of myself: the 'made up' version and the 'at home' edition, and everyone else looked great and had their shit together all the time. so to conclude thank you for this video i feel so much better knowing that everyone else is a little bit of a mess too, and this is for sure my new favourite dodie video that I will definitely keep coming back to
I love how paradox your story with the picture is; if you retake it you 'lie' by faking that it was a great day and you looked perfect and prepared for the photo but if you say you like it it's also a 'lie' because as you took it you didn't like it. But realising why you don't feel like it's a great picture and that it can still be one, if only possibly in a different way than you had hoped for, does make it somehow true, I find.
okay but you’re ADORABLE I JUST WANT TO SQUISH YOUR CHEEKS LIKE A GRANDMA BECAUSE I AM PROUD AND I LOVE YOU
