So what is the monkey's paw?

evil fandom wiki posted:

The Monkey's Paw is a legendary item of evil intent that allowed whoever held it to obtain wishes, at a horrific price - being prone to twist the wishes in order to unleash the worst outcomes.

The premise is simple: whoever picks up the paw has the knowledge that he can ask and get granted one wish per finger that remains standing in the paw. However, although the wish is indeed granted, it comes true under very terrible circumstances and the outcome is hardly worth the price.

ITT you get to make one wish. The poster underneath you has the ability to grant that wish, but at a terrible cost. The person who grants the wish is then able to make a wish of their own, which is also granted by way of the monkey's paw by the following poster.

:skeltal:good luck goons, you'll need it:skeltal:

You make many wishes, and for years reap the benefits, consequence-free. Then one day, your significant other, who is a poster on the SA forums, suffers all the wish consequences while literally “below” you (as in, while you’re having sex with them (rarr, tiger! get it!))

you get a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed. you are able to do this because society and its pressures have vanished leaving only the comfort of your bed. the downside is that you are rested and refreshed and have absolutely nothing to do.

No fair! You get nothing after putting your last dollar in a snack vending machine and the last item you really want gets stuck but try as you might you can not get it to fall and there is no one to help you. You have no choice but to leave broke and hungry. This happens every time you try your luck with a vending machine.

You arrive at the patch at 11:59 PM on Halloween. The patch is just a bunch of mud and hay. There are no pumpkins remaining. You should have bought your pumpkin two weeks ago!

You are now 6' tall! You are a couple of inches above average American height. However, you are an expat and you love touring east-Asian castles and ancient cities. The buildings in these places typically have deceptively short doorways. You bang your head against the door frames regularly. You have, to date, amassed 17 concussions, only 4 of which have ever been diagnosed. You will begin experiencing the effects of dementia within the next 2 decades.

You wake up one day, and curse yourself for forgetting to remove your contacts the night before because you can see everything clearly. You have an eye appointment today, and you go to see your optometrist. The doctor asks you to remove your contacts. As you attempt to do so, your untrimmed fingernail comes into direct contact with your eye, leaving a deep scratch. Painful, irritating. You are distracted. Your eye doctor insists you do not have your contacts in. You panic, assuming they have somehow folded themselves up into your eyelids. You are not thinking straight because the scratch is driving you nuts; perhaps it is one of those overnight contacts? You are inconsolable; you insist they were in and you demand that the doctor remove the lenses. The unnecessary operation is a disaster; you contract a MRSA and die from sepsis. (I love semicolons.)

My wish remains the same: I wish my credit card had a lower APR.

You. Must. Post. It is a compulsion, driving you, forcing you to :justpost:. All your friends are online, and they are all constantly uploading new, creative, and inspirational threads. You want to be a part of IT ALL. There is not enough time in the day, the week, the month to keep up with all the creativity, but you can't stop. You are one with the YOB, and the YOB is one with you. Your fingers cramp, so you switch to voice recognition. Still, you post. Day turns to night, fall to winter. Your fingers are bloody nubs, your voice long ago gave out. Using eye-tracking input equipment (whoa, that's awesome, what did you just have that lying around for?), just before you succumb to dehydration and malnutrition, you make one last post:

'goodnight byob'

You're a good poster....too good. The feds get suspicious, how can someone post such high quality threads and replies for every goddamn thread? How can that be?

They hurry you away to an underground lab where they run hideous experiments on you to work out how your posting crystal is so powerful. They force you to post threads long into the night. They mock you, yell at you, drip water onto you, torture you.

Yet still you post good, so they don't let you go.

You can jump higher then anyone else in the world, but, you don't come down. You just stay up there, stranded, hoping that someone will bring you down. Just waiting for anyone to pull you down again to the surface so you can eat or drink, and socialize again. Once they do you eat a nice meal, get a few drinks in you, enjoy your life, and then jump for joy! Then end up stranded up in the sky again!

You wish you could read all the words in a post, and you can, but you can't stop reading them. You just keep reading posts over and over, and while your chill level is off the charts, byob misses your posts because you can't stop reading through old threads and the archives and goldmines. You fade away as a posting legend as you keep sifting through old threads and never get back up to date (I do this sometimes, minus the posting legend part, lol).

You now have essentially a brain speaker. Everyone can hear your homemade earworms, but also every other passing thought. #nofilter doesn't even begin to describe your new existence. Your attempts to silence inappropriate or insulting thoughts totally backfires and an intrusive stream of offensiveness drives everyone in your vicinity away.



I wish I had a functional, high quality, competently installed, and long lasting new roof, fence, and water softener, at a reasonable and affordable cost, and without all the current bullshit with insurance and home warranty companies balking and contractors using COVID as an excuse to never return calls and scalp you at every turn.

All people are a lot nicer, but in a form of cosmic balance animals become equally not nice. Pet dogs and cats start to ravage and mail their owners. Feral hamsters run the streets, and budgies swoop from the sky to pluck people's eyes out. The very nice people can't bring themselves to harm the animals so they cower inside in fear. Humans eventually die out because they're trapped inside, away from the domineering donkeys and other feral animals.
