The Simpsons, "The Past and the Furious".

Q: Why is the pizza oven more out of line than brainwashing her daughter, when the pizza oven doesn't infringe upon "free will"?

Dragonair's Wish

I feel like drawing the Noodle Dragon Pokemon, doing the snake periscope thing, and the star was for added cute measure, they are making a little wish,

Consider: Movie or book or other story with a genie where the human who owns the lamp is really smart and plans their wishes ahead. They spend a bunch of time writing out their wishes one at a time to be specific enough to avoid any malicious loopholes, and then wait up to a couple weeks in between wishes to make sure that things turn out exactly how they had hoped.

Except that the genie isn’t actually malicious, and is hurt that the human distrusts them so much. They’re really just a friendly genie who likes helping people! They don’t want the human to feel so worried about them, so they start trying to learn non-wish ways to help out a bit and show that they’re friendly.

Cue awhile of the genie learning new human customs, while the human themself is just confused, wondering at first if the genie is just trying to get their guard down, but eventually realizing that the genie really is just trying to be kind.

And then maybe for a cute ending, the genie gets really attached to human life and the human trusts them enough to consider them a friend, so for the last wish they write out one last hyper-specific wish, this time for the purpose of allowing the genie to stick around as a human (but probably still with magic powers because why not) without any strings attached so they can remain friends together.

Is there an expiry date on making a wish on a rainbow? And by that I don't mean "am I supposed to outgrow wishing on rainbows", but "how long do I have for my wish to come true"?

When do you make wishes?

Seeing a rainbow

Seeing a shooting star

Blowing out birthday candles

Tossing a coin into a fountain

Eyelash

Seeing a passing lorry carrying haybales/haystacks/hay

i say we buy an old school building, turn it into the community library - make the gym the roller rink - start fixing the dirt around the place and planting food outside and in. composting, repurposing. i'll live there, small quarters, loft hung in the library, maybe. maybe there will be an old woodshop we can use for building. install wood stoves just where need them

I feel like genies would be extremely disturbed by this generations nihilism

I'd wish for no more joint pain and so they just take all my joints and as I am turned into a slug I am throwing a party bc that's what I've always wanted. On the other hand maybe they'd be forced to actually so proper wishes rather than trick wished bc they never know what will make a nihilists day
