a monkey paw only works in the hands of those who don't need it nor want it.

This is a fun, silly little story. I quite liked the 'uncensored swear' bit, that was quite funny, and I don't usually like meta Pinkie. I do think the 'italicized onomatopoeia' wish felt a bit pointless, though. Regardless, best of luck in the contest, fellow competitor!

I love this! Can we see more of Pinkie Pie with these powers? I think this would be an amazing story to continue, if you wanted. I'd certainly love to read it!

Lightning flashed in tandem with a magenta blur. Rain blew inside as the door opened. There stood Derpy, holding a beat up cardboard box and a clipboard. Before Derpy spoke, Pinkie scribbled, accepting despite no return address.

very Pinkie Pie. after all, what bad thing could happen accepting an unexpected and unknown package delivered during ominous thundering weather?

To her mutual delight and disgust, she pulled out a severed appendage. Pinkie held it aloft as if having extracted Excalibur from the stone. It appeared mummified, colored ink-red and black, with five outstretched digits. Pinkie identified it as a monkey’s paw.

totally a Pinkie reaction

“Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

i can’t believe she knows what the fuckword is

Mesmerizing magic blasts flew as a purple alicorn tried to ward a green giant away. The paw took her attention’s priority not too long later, though.

aww, poor Twilight, trying desperately to save the town in the background! love that purple alicorn

“Second, er, third, wish. Stop using italicized onomatopoeia!”
The middle finger curled in compliance. Despite no physical change to the world, the effect was immediate and obvious.

very meta! Pinkie, this doesn’t affect any in-universe events, what a waste of a wish!

A column of puffy purple smoke flared and then dissipated. In the recliner, attached to the paw, was a massive mandrill–blue cheeks, red nose, and all. Minus its paint-red hand with caved fingers, it was normal.

hehe, never seen this take on the monkey’s paw before, very cool!

Discord screamed at him. “Celestia damn it, Cousin Iromu!”

and this character being a Discord relative makes all too much sense. and very Pinkie Pie for a story about her and a standard trope to illustrate the existential horror of desire results in a comedy fic. thank you for writing!

Quite a lot of fun here, and you managed to reference two different comic storylines at once. You went rather heavy on the fourth-wall shenanigans, but overall, this was a delight. (And honestly, Princess Pinkie might be the best option to deal with Gumzilla.) Thank you for an entertaining read.
