I feel like Book Goblin isn't counting how long in minutes, days, or hours, but in chapters. "Will take _this many_ chapters to undo spoiler!" is how it works for me, because at some point into a good book, I forget that I know what's happening and just get sucked into the story.
Time does not matter as much as proficiency of engagement. If there is nothing of substance happening to You in the meantime - You night stay the same for ages. If there are plenty of plot developments: it might just be a matter of minutes. … I believe it was Nietzsche that wrote to never insult a hermit: „Finally, my brothers, beware of doing wrong to any hermit. How could a hermit forget? How could he repay? Like a deep well is a hermit. It is easy to throw in a stone, but if the stone sank to the bottom, tell me, who would get it out again? Beware of insulting the hermit. But if you have done so-- well, then kill him too” Book Goblin found the solution to the hermit problem - books. Books that fill up Your life and distract You from the miserable predicament of Your suffering. Books that make You forget all past ills, engaging You with romance, plot development and imagination. Books 💙
Tbf, that's the type of "Dr Who" fan I've encountered, both offline and online. 😅 Me, I don't mind spoilers for books as long as they're not too big. Kinda like teaser trailers for movies or shows. That's why I like it when authors put 10-page teasers in the back of books to get me hyped for the next book. Besides, by the time I get to the 2nd book, I will have forgotten what was in the "teaser" section anyway. 🤣🤣😜
I love the support person, trying to help book goblin be comfortable, even giving them space when they need and not showing any judgement, just curiosity and confusion, this is an adorable relationship!!
I prefer spoilers very often. Due to my anxiety around stories I like to know who is going to die/survive etc because then instead of being terrified of unexpected pain I can strap in to watch how the character manages to survive.
@@malaikakhan28 wasn't really a big one but I got really really emotionally attached to Primrose at the start of the book, and the next day my friend blurted out that oh too bad, she dies at the end 😂. I was devastated.
Its always a danger when you read something that already got a movie or tv show or is wildly popular. Its best to look for a good cave and hide without any devices near you until you are done.
@@cinemaatrium3863 that's literally what I'm trying to do now. And I also now specifically tell anyone if I've finished the book or not. I would rather not have another spoiler crisis on my hands 🙆😂
But sometimes the spoilers make it more interesting (only if it's a long series like Wheel of Time) because then you can wonder just exactly which of these details is actually a hint pointing towards that event, and you can try and figure out how they got from where they are now to where they are at the end.
Mini-spoilers are okay with me, and I sometimes ask for them (my friend and I read the same books simultaneously but sometimes she’ll read it first and give me lil mini facts that are cool to find out). Major plot points like deaths or drastic character changes aren’t as fun, because then you’re just sad. I like spoilers about relationships (like who ends up with who) so I can see the development but not other stuff.
I got a spoiler when reading “In Dubious Battle” and it was one of the first times a spoiler bothered me. Because I wasnt expecting it and it was the ending. I didnt wanna know that that thing happens to that guy! It was such a plot twist I wasnt expecting. It hadnt even been foreshadowed yet.
This is me exactly, idk how you caught footage of me but this is exactly how I was a few days ago. I got a MASSIVE spoiler on a book series I was reading and freaked out. Still not over it
I once bought a book with descriptions of all the plot lines of the sequels printed on the first page. I tried to turn the page quickly when I realized, but I saw so many spoilers. (Including main character deaths) Made me not want to read any of the other books.
Spoilers are the WORST!! By the way, i have been suffering from extreme autistic burn out coupled with adhd paralysis, your videos helped me start reading the book i stopped reading in the middle a couple months ago and the escape is genuinely helping the anxiety so from the depths of my heart thank you
This is way too relatable, especially when the series is like, eight seasons long and takes a more than a whole year to finish. I don’t want spoilers, but I want to be able to relate to the fandom at the same time.
The commitment to read despite the spoilers is a whole mood. The important part is the way, not the ending (though you are permanently searching for clues of WHEN is the spoiler going to happen)
This is why I'm sometimes glad to be forgetful, 2 hours after reading a major spoiler I either forget about it or somehow gaslight myself into thinking that the story is going to unfold differently
I feel this with One Piece. With a series going that long and encountering it through TV as a kid, it’s basically a given that you’ll see spoilers. I will never know just how much of a surprise the CP9 reveal was because the fight between Blueno and Luffy was one of the first episodes I’ve seen on TV (I’m as old as the anime, it was already around for a while when I was old enough to watch it).
Look, the thing about Divergent is that you can still enjoy it with spoilers. You need to read it, not necessarily to get to the ending but to see the character development and fun lil moments in there. This is your call to finish it, I promise the spoilers make the lead up so much better (i read it once and then again knowing the ending and it’s really sweet tbh to see them all interact)
And THAT’s why I don’t look up a single book until after I’m done reading. I’m a sucker for fanfics, but they always spoil the ending and make it less cool to see actual character interaction without the random “what if they were dating” in the back of your head.
The character changes are the worst ones. Like hearing someone dies is kind of nice to see them knowing it, but knowing that they’re a terrible person makes you question their every interaction and prevents you from seeing their gradual morphing into the villain.
It's so interesting to see how different people can feel about spoilers. For me, spoilers can actually make me More excited to read a book, because the spoilers sound interesting and I want to know how they make sense in the story. Like, I bought this one book (Gideon the Ninth) that I was meaning to read for a while but just never got further than chapter 2 for 3 years. Meanwhile in those 3 years, I saw various people post about the book and the series on tumblr, and the more posts I saw the more I was like, fine, I have to know how any of this makes sense
I have been on both sides of this, as in polar opposite reactions. For a series that I was already heavily invested in I have experienced Book Goblins exact reaction. For a series I had never heard of previously or wasn't particularly interested in prior to hearing a spoiler, a spoiler has occasionally opened my eyes to a whole new experience. There are Fandom I would never have been a part of if not for a spoiler or 2 reeling me in by capturing my interest.
Yes! In middle school I literally didn’t talk to my friend for 4 whole days because she spoiled the book I was reading (gleefully and maliciously) even after I had told her dozens of times not to, I was almost in tears because of her since I was going through medical issues and a really negative home life and that book series was my main escape. The only reason I talked to her again after 4 days is because she cried to her mom who yelled at me for being upset over a “stupid book” and to get over it. And I was 12 so I had to listen to her mom.
Me too! I love spoilers! I'll read random pages from my books and try to figure out how the characters end up in the situations, honestly its more fun than just reading the book sometimes 😂
Im currently (have been for the past 2,5 months) reading Lord of the Rings for the first time after having seen the movies a couple of times, the whole thing is just a heap of spoilers😅😂
Honestly I don't mind spoilers. Maybe that's just because I'm a theater kid first and frankly in theater it's just really hard to care about spoilers, as it's hard to find good quality recordings of things and it can be tough to pick up the plot of a show from a cast recording Sometimes the way I keep myself going when I'm in a slow part of a book is by checking the last page or chapter, because then I can see how we get there And one of my favorite book series is shadow and bone, where I always knew all the plot twists that were coming because I got into it as a result of friends and then I watched the show before reading, but I actually really appreciated that because I could see all the foreshadowing all throughout, which was really cool
whenever i see a spoiler (which is pretty often bc i always have to look up fan art to picture the characters) i gaslight myself so hard that i practically erase it from my mind and if i think about it again i continue to gaslight myself until i get to the thing i spoiled and pretend to be surprised
I'm starting to think she plays the role of someone in her life, like a best friend, a roommate, her mom or her husband, and the book goblin is actually the exacerbation of her own crisis 😂
That's what happened to me with Fourth Wing :( i wasnt as shocked but there were still some other really great plot twists in it! This is why all books NEED a table of contents. I was only trying to see how many chapters there were 😢
Reminds me on reading "Elric of Melnibone" for the first time. Basically the first paragraph goes like: "This is Elric, last Prince of the Melnibonéans. It's his fate to end this world." Well, I thought. Promising. And curious child I was - I flipped right to the end: "And this is how the world ends." And I was there thinking (after that little outburst)... what the hell happens in the ~1200 pages in between?!
I get so may spoilers all the time, cry for like an hour (if they’re sad) or cheer for an hour (if they’re good) and then continue reading, and then start cursing myself for getting so many spoilers
When i first started getting into Percy Jackson I watched a lot of tiktocs so at one point before I even read the books I knew what the major things that were going to happen where.
Last Thanksgiving, I was minding my own business, ignoring relatives, reading a book, and my papa walks up to me, and he says "She chooses the wrong boy." I was destroyed.
My soul is hollow, so getting spoilers from friends reading is the only thing that amps my motivation enough to read. It's the only reason I read Gideon the Ninth.
Got spoiled on Rhythm of War in a no-spoiler thread for the book release event. Thankfully it wasn't a super massive spoiler in the end, but I genuinely thought that I'd had the big reveal spoiled for me
Nah because i legit relate. My biggest problem is i get curious and google stuff and immediately regret it because it spoiled the whole book. I accidentally spoiled my whole current series (percy jackson) and am so mad about it
I had someone spoil the end of the Inheritance books before I got to the last chapter. This guy Robert found out I was reading the book and was like “Oh yeah, I loved at the end when ____.” I remember just staring at him like he’d grown a second head, then berating him for being so careless with the literal crux of the last book’s plot.
This happened to me with one of my favorite video games. I purposely didn't watch or read any spoilers about the game, but while playing noticed my favorite character, who I'd the only recurring character in each game was played by a new actor. The change was linked to a key part of the story so...the plot was revealed for a completely innocent reason of looking up the change. Now I hesitate to look anything up about games or books I'm playing and reading
My sister has had a feud with Steve Buscemi for years because she was trying to catch up with Boardwalk Empire, but she saw his Grammy acceptance speech talking about how a character dies. She called me up and ranted about it for like 20 minutes
I used to look things up for clarity because i would read too fast, i always ended up falling into a rabbit hole of pressing other options even tho they would spoil the whole book
One of my friends got a huge spoiler while we were cataloging some of the books at our school library(just for fun), because there was essentially a fanfic that was in the historical fiction section, and spoiled a main character's death in a book she had just started
I remember the story of someone yelling out the ending of potter 6 to the line of people trying to purchase the book at midnight... RRRRAWWRRR ASSSSSHATTTT.
I was reading Shatter Me and these are few spoilers I read Ignite Me, lyhflm Defy Me, Warner asking Ella to get married to him Imagine Me, Ella becoming a part of the Supreme Guard for Anderson. I KILLED MYSELF VERY TIME I DID THIS!
A professor of mine used to say that spoilers didn't really matter when a book was great, by reason of what she used to call the Anna Karenina fenomenon. The thing is, we all know how Anna Karenina ends, we've known for years and years, but that doesn't matter, we read Anna Karenina because of how it gets to the end, and, when we arrive into the train station, even if we knew we were headed for it all along, we suffer and grieve , or are amazed or moved, because the book itself is wonderful. That has happened to me with most well played Shakespeare tragedies: I've bawled my eyes out at Hamlet, or Romeo and Juliet, even if I've known the story since childhood, because its is not just the story that matters, but the way the story is told
I was looking up something on the Wiki, I think I was telling my friend about something that happens in Eldest and was trying to remember the details, found Eragon's page . . . and he had a SURNAME. For those who don't know, in the Inheritance Cycle - i.e. the Eragon books - similar to Norse and some current Nordic countries, naming conventions dictate that a child's surname be their same-sex parent's first name, e.g. my brother would be David Thomasson, I would be Beeba Lorettasdaughter. Eragon in the first couple of books didn't know his father, so he didn't have a surname (or was called "Son of None", later "Eragon Shadeslayer" after an achievement in battle). I hadn't read Brisingr yet, and the Wiki had Eragon ____sson (spoilers), and I was like "NOOO" **pause** "Wait, no way, HE'S Eragon's father?! So cool! But still NOOOO" lmao
Someone in my class said (about a class book everyone has to read) --- IS GETTING MARRIED! And everyone in the class (even people who read that part alr) said “Broooooo” at the same time.
Every time I see a spoiler I put myself in deep denial and repeat that it was just the fans trying to screw with new fans (like me) until I reach the part 😭
I feel like Book Goblin isn't counting how long in minutes, days, or hours, but in chapters. "Will take _this many_ chapters to undo spoiler!" is how it works for me, because at some point into a good book, I forget that I know what's happening and just get sucked into the story.

For me book goblin fights with dice goblin for that spot

But here we are…
1.4k likes and no comment. Let’s change that :)
Nah I’m the kind of person who desperately searches for spoilers but isn’t able to find any 😂
I’m just professionally unsuccessful 🤣
Whenever I see a spoiler for anything, I just think okay, now I just need to find out HOW it got to that point
That sounds productive and healthy
Finally someone who thinks like me!!!!!

@@Nico_Kun definitely

This is your call to finish it, I promise the spoilers make the lead up so much better (i read it once and then again knowing the ending and it’s really sweet tbh to see them all interact)

I wonder what the book goblin would do once they stumble upon the fanfiction

Once I got tired of the suspense and skipped to the end of the book for spoilers. I instantly regretted it.

Gonna lead to it.
Exactly, just when you accidentally skip one page and the a lot of things got spoiled😤
I actually just skip multiple pages just to see some spoilers 💀
Love your vids btw ❤️
Honestly I don't mind spoilers. Maybe that's just because I'm a theater kid first and frankly in theater it's just really hard to care about spoilers, as it's hard to find good quality recordings of things and it can be tough to pick up the plot of a show from a cast recording
Sometimes the way I keep myself going when I'm in a slow part of a book is by checking the last page or chapter, because then I can see how we get there

One of my friends got a huge spoiler while we were cataloging some of the books at our school library(just for fun), because there was essentially a fanfic that was in the historical fiction section, and spoiled a main character's death in a book she had just started
when book goblin counted pass 10, I thought it would be in days or months 😂
I remember the story of someone yelling out the ending of potter 6 to the line of people trying to purchase the book at midnight... RRRRAWWRRR ASSSSSHATTTT.
I was reading Shatter Me and these are few spoilers I read
Ignite Me, lyhflm
Defy Me, Warner asking Ella to get married to him
Imagine Me, Ella becoming a part of the Supreme Guard for Anderson.
I KILLED MYSELF VERY TIME I DID THIS!
Book Goblin is rude, selfish, grumpy, and whimsical. Still, we love Book Goblin...
How many people thought she would follow up all that counting with the word “days”? 😂
A professor of mine used to say that spoilers didn't really matter when a book was great, by reason of what she used to call the Anna Karenina fenomenon. The thing is, we all know how Anna Karenina ends, we've known for years and years, but that doesn't matter, we read Anna Karenina because of how it gets to the end, and, when we arrive into the train station, even if we knew we were headed for it all along, we suffer and grieve , or are amazed or moved, because the book itself is wonderful. That has happened to me with most well played Shakespeare tragedies: I've bawled my eyes out at Hamlet, or Romeo and Juliet, even if I've known the story since childhood, because its is not just the story that matters, but the way the story is told
All your videos make me smile 😂❤
I was basically like that when I accidentally saw a spoiler for the book "Brisingr" in high school 😂
I was looking up something on the Wiki, I think I was telling my friend about something that happens in Eldest and was trying to remember the details, found Eragon's page . . . and he had a SURNAME.
For those who don't know, in the Inheritance Cycle - i.e. the Eragon books - similar to Norse and some current Nordic countries, naming conventions dictate that a child's surname be their same-sex parent's first name, e.g. my brother would be David Thomasson, I would be Beeba Lorettasdaughter.
Eragon in the first couple of books didn't know his father, so he didn't have a surname (or was called "Son of None", later "Eragon Shadeslayer" after an achievement in battle). I hadn't read Brisingr yet, and the Wiki had Eragon ____sson (spoilers), and I was like "NOOO" **pause** "Wait, no way, HE'S Eragon's father?! So cool! But still NOOOO" lmao
Jon Snow being stabbed. I am book goblin!
The plumber fixing the gas heater didnt appreciate the shrieks of rage.
Someone in my class said (about a class book everyone has to read) --- IS GETTING MARRIED!
And everyone in the class (even people who read that part alr) said “Broooooo” at the same time.
Every time I see a spoiler I put myself in deep denial and repeat that it was just the fans trying to screw with new fans (like me) until I reach the part 😭
