Download Careful What You Wish For __FULL__

[Karlyn Melich]

Well, be careful what you wish for. Hours after I wrote that I needed more time alone, Khalil\u2019s nanny tested positive for Covid, and I retreated to our bedroom to isolate myself. Sure enough, Khalil tested positive a few days later and I will be sequestered here until he and David are both negative. I am trying not to think about how long that might be.

The "deal breaker" that makes the wish not worth it also comes in a lot of possible flavors. Perhaps the character finds out that what they wanted comes at the cost of something they wanted even more. Maybe the element of their life that they wanted gone is really essential to who they are; maybe the wish isn't all they thought it was cracked up to be; or maybe it just comes true in an unanticipated manner.

In many cases the character repents of their ill-considered wish and things revert to normal, though in some stories the character is stuck in the new situation and forced to deal with the consequences of their thoughtless wish.

Often a cause of Blessed with Suck, though not the only one; wont to count as an Opinion-Changing Dream; Contains the same type of irony as Ironic Hell. In some cases the experience may lead the wisher to discover an Awful Truth.

Compare Accidental Incantation (which covers magical spells), Gone Horribly Right (when science or logic is involved rather than wishes), Wanting Is Better Than Having (when getting your wish ends with more disappointment than satisfaction), Tempting Fate (which does not specifically require a wish) and Original Position Fallacy (when someone wants something they know will be bad for some, but wrongfully assume they will benefit from it).

• Bread Barbershop: In "Magic Kettle", Wilk's genie wishes go well at first, but start to go horribly wrong later on, starting with a kid wishing his school was destroyed by aliens and getting it; besides that, among other things, the elderly woman's wheelchair malfunctions, Butter can't handle the fangirls chasing him, and Bread is too rich and doesn't work anymore. It eventually gets so out of hand that Wilk uses his last wish to wish for a trip back to when he found the kettle.
• Season 2 Episode 20 of Happy Heroes is about Doctor H. finding a bottle genie and wishing that he were married to his crush, Miss Peach. He ends up going through all three of his wishes trying to fix some problems inherent in the results, as side-effects of the wishes being made with no effort:
• First, Doctor H. and Miss Peach are happily married, but with the trade-off that the heroes are now bullies and/or criminals due to Doctor H. ignoring them. The doctor consults the genie again and clarifies that he also wants the heroes to be good.
• For the second wish, Doctor H. is married to Miss Peach and the heroes are well-behaved, but now Doctor H. has an incurable disease and could pass away from it at any second. Just before that happens, he makes it back to the genie and mentions that he also wants to be 100 years old so that no diseases will be able to hurt his younger self.
• For the third and final wish, Doctor H. and Miss Peach are still married, but are now 100 years old just as the doctor wanted. The only problem here is that Doctor H. finds the senior citizen Miss Peach to be less attractive than her younger self... at which point he gives up on the wish entirely and begs for everything to go back to normal.

Fortunately, the prophesied hero only wants to be an ordinary farmer, and when he does "defeat" her, it's a complete accident that doesn't hurt her aside from injuring her pride. Unfortunately, the rest of the kingdom thinks Elizabeth is dead afterwards, and several of her subordinates create a disaster trying to bring her back.

He saw a shooting star and wished to become popular with girls... and he was given the power to make any woman fall in love with him that looked him in the eye.

• Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: Depending on if you believe the mastermind, the entire game is this for the characters. According to Tsumugi, the characters were originally average, untalented, high school students who were extreme fans of the long-running reality show, Danganronpa, and auditioned to be on the fifty-third season. While only Kaede, Shuichi and Kaito's audition tapes were shown, all three were obsessed with the show, excited at the prospect of murder, and Kaito in particular was thrilled with the idea of massacring everyone. However, after being accepted, the students' personalities and memories were overwritten, and they were given new identities for the sake of pleasing the audience, making it so not one of them enjoyed their dreams being fulfilled.
• Some of the executions also fall into this category, with Kaito having wished desperately to see space, and being sent there as part of his punishment. However, this ended up being subverted because his illness killed him before the punishment was completed, and thus he got his wish, which made Monokuma livid.
• During the fifth trial, Shuichi sought to find the 'truth beyond the truth'. The case in question surrounded Kokichi faking Kaito's death and purposely having Kaito kill him, all the while making it impossible to deduce who the killer was in an attempt to nullify the killing game, which would have saved everyone. Unfortunately, Shuichi got what he wanted and ended up figuring out the truth, only to discover he had allowed Monokuma to catch on, resulting in Kaito's execution and Kokichi's plan being absolutely pointless.

• And played straight: Angra Mainyu/Avenger was an ordinary villager whose compatriots chose him to be the embodiment of all mankind's sins and sacrificed him in order to purify themselves. His soul was engraved with the "wish" for there to be a singular source from which all of humanity's evils stemmed, a wish which the Grail attempted to grant when it absorbed Avenger. As a result there now exists an Embodiment of Evil made up of every sin mankind has ever or will ever commit gestating within the Grail, waiting for a wish to free it.
• Played with in Tatarigoroshi-hen of Higurashi: When They Cry. Keiichi wishes Irie and Ooishi were dead, then Irie commits suicide and Ooishi disappears. Then, thinking he had entered another dimension, he wishes the entire village of Hinamizawa destroyed... and it gets destroyed. His wishes had nothing to do with the deaths; they were pure coincidences.
• This comes up in case 4 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney when von Karma jokingly suggests putting the witness's pet parrot on the stand. When you decide to humor him, he wastes no time raising an objection. Should've stayed quiet, old man.
