Add Angel/Devil Costumes to Mog Station

Hopefully they make a craftable glamour item WITHOUT the wings. *nudgenudgeSEmakeithappennudgenudge*

The wings seem a bit too....stiff to me. I mean, I know it's probably impossible to make them not look like someone washed them in starch, but...a bit more of a feathery and wispy look might help?

Cut them some slack! No one in China knows what birds look like because the pollution killed them all.

Tried them on by inspecting someone in game. The dyeable horns were the one part of the set that I originally wanted... and don't look particularly great. Monkey paw'd :c

Wishing on a Monkey's Paw. It's an old fable, that a severed monkey's paw can grant wishes, however, the wish will not turn out the way you want. As an example, you could wish to be incredibly rich, but then all that money you got was stolen from someone else and you're arrested and thrown into jail. Or you could wish to live forever, but then you end up trapped beneath the ocean and spend eternity drowning over and over in terrible agony.

Aahha, thank you! I always assumed you had to be crafty with wishes, nice to know there's a term for when it all goes wrong

In the context of the poster, "It's not what I thought it would be"

The typical "Monkey's Paw" story (actually comes from early 20th century) and similar things like djinn wishes reflect or twist the wisher's heart/personality. So if you had a monkey's paw, no matter what you wished for, there would always be a major downside. So wishing for money, your relatives die in a plane crash and you get an the money via inheritance. Or a bag of money falls into your lap that was stolen from an armored truck, and the cops accuse you of being the thief. Wealth is easily the worst thing to wish for, because it reflects the wishers greed.

A cruel person, will never get a wish granted that will not have some horrible downside. Because their wishes are derived from their internal malice towards others, a cruel person who wishes for fame, would become famous for something cruel they did previously turning into a major scandal.

On the flip side of that, someone who is selfless (never does anything for their own benefit) would wish for something like "world peace", and because it does benefit them, would be twisted to into something like "all world leaders takes up smoking pot", and thus some kind of wacky society forms where everyone is perpetually intoxicated to make them at peace, so people die from accidents due to their intoxiciation all the time instead.

A Djinn wish is a little more up for interpretation. Taken the most literately, the story of Aladdin involved two Genies, the slave of the ring, and the slave of the lamp. The ring gets Aladdin out of the cave, but the lamp is what grants him wealth. However Aladdin's wife is tricked into giving the lamp to the guy who trapped him in the cave originally. In more recent interpretations, the Djinn takes on more of it's traditional origin, and is a trickster. So more recent interpretations of wish-granting Djinn are basically the Monkey's Paw with personality. So if you free a Djinn that is consumed with rage, any wish you make would be "rage/revenge" flavored.


Basically, a Monkey's paw can never grant a wish with no downsides. Not even to wish for it out of existence. A Djinn could be freed from enslavement, but that doesn't mean they won't immediately take revenge upon you or anyone else. So there is an entire mythology about "why haven't cursed things been destroyed", because destroying them is also an act that has unintended consequences.
