Gooblick, not to be confused with the Earth phenomenon of watching paint dry (though similarly riveting to certain species), is a sentient slime found glopping its way through the lesser-known corners of the cosmos. Renowned for its ability to solve complex mathematical equations, it spends most of its time pondering the existential questions of life, the universe, and everything—though it rarely shares its conclusions, presuming, probably rightly, that other life forms just wouldn't understand.
If you wish to seek an audience with a gooblick, be prepared to present it with an unsolved theorem or a juicy paradox. Small talk about the weather could result in a silent, albeit polite, ooze away.
Gooblicks are indigenous to the gelatinous swamps of Squelch Minor, a moon so repellent to most life forms that it was once voted the best place in the universe to avoid at all costs in the Galactic Traveler's Digest.
Never insult a gooblick's viscosity; they're quite sensitive about their consistency. Also, avoid wearing your favorite shoes. Gooblick residue can ruin space-leather, an embarrassing faux pas at any high-class zero-gravity cocktail party.
Some gooblicks have landed gigs as consultants on high-stakes intergalactic poker games due to their innate ability to slip between dimensions and peek at opponents' cards. The Intergalactic Gaming Commission is still trying to figure out how to ban them.
Thinking of taking a dip in the gelatinous swamps? Protect your extremities with SlimeAway™, the galaxy's number one gooblick repellent! (Not guaranteed to be effective against all existential musings.)

Assets, in the universal sense, are quite unlike the traditional notion of wealth and more about collecting experiences—and occasionally, rare species of intergalactic flora, which may or may not be sentient. For example, owning a piece of real estate on Vogsphere is often seen as a remarkable asset, mostly because it serves as a conversation starter about one's survival instincts, or profound lack thereof.

A blog, an abbreviation of the antiquated term 'weblog,' is a sort of informational pamphlet no one asked for, existing in the digital ether. It typically consists of text, images, and sometimes those moving pictures with cats, chronicling anything from the mundane dietary habits of the author to the latest theories on why the universe probably doesn't exist. A blog is to journalism what a whoopee cushion is to interior design: it can be surprisingly loud and somewhat entertaining, but ultimately people question why it's there in the first place.
