Things I hope to see/or not see in NYSM3

Merritt and Jack bullying Daniel (so hard- please)

Dylan being a mastermind but an absolute stupid idiot at the same time, the energy this man produces is such a vibe but I need that energy specifically.

I mean like this guy can do the tough act, it cool, great- BUT PLEASE ALSO LET HIM GIVE OFF SOPPING WET PUPPY DOG VIBES-

A Henley & Lula meet up.

The Eye explained more in-depth and set straight, it was pretty confusing the first two movies.

I���d also like to see Dylan’s fbi and magic sides combined, it was awesome to see it in the second movie so to see it again would be amazing.

Thaddeus Bradley sucks and i would not mind if they never mention him again unless it’s to bully him.

Each of the members getting to showcase their magic methods in-depth, like Jack is the card guy, Merritt is the hypnotist, I’m assuming Lula is the hardcore illusionist? (Idk the work for a magician who’s specialty is killing things and bringing them back to life and also doing very gorey things 🧍‍♂️) and Idk what the hell Daniel is doing so- y’know, more info would be great.

IF DYLAN’S DAD COMES BACK TO LIFE, I WILL PUT HIM BACK IN THE GROUND. THAT TROPE IS AS DEAD AS I HOPE DYLAN’S DAD IS.

Sorry, that was mean (/ref)

I feel like Daniel was just coming off as the “I hate everyone” type of team member, but now that he’s finally warmed up to the rest of the team I hope they refine his personality towards the others in a fun way.

Also Lula literally says that she’s “not like other girls” in the movie- please refine that part of her or I will forever have mary sue subconsciously repeating in the back of my head every time I see her.

Lula and Jack couple moments, they became a couple last movie! You have to give me more content of the two if your going to do that!

I completely abandoned any pretense about reaching my yearly reading goal this December, but I did manage to read one TBR book per month and read 50 of the books I wanted to in 2022, so I’m counting the year as a win. And I got close to the goal, anyway, at least if you include the picture books. (I do not like to include the picture books.) This month also included surprise highlights, surprise disappointments, and not one, but two, history books, which I feel like I never do.

December also, obviously, included a book haul. I got a couple books I asked for for Christmas, a couple books that came from the “give everyone an essay about my tastes” wishlists, and The Atlas Six, which arrived at work too damaged to sell but is still perfectly readable and it had been recommended by a friend…. The highlight is Weirdos of the Universe Unite!, however. I read this at least three times as a kid, via the public library, and I’m pretty sure we can credit my love of urban fantasy to it. That one’s actually part of my birthday haul, but the postal system got in the way. Very excited to (hopefully) reread it in 2023!

January 5th, 2023: they're doing a widescale 10% off! It's not applying to everything on the site, but it looks to be on about half my wishlist.

I got four this time, and here are the (affiliate) links:

A Dictionary of Costume and Fashion: Historic and Modern, by Mary Brooks Picken (Author)

The Essential Atlas: Star Wars, by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry

Killer Fashion: Poisonous Petticoats, Strangulating Scarves, and Other Deadly Garments Throughout History by Jennifer Wright

Underwear: Fashion in Detail by Eleri Lynn

Heyyyyy, bookshop.org is doing 10% off select titles again! Looks like it's a manufacturer promotion from Penguin Random House this time.

If you don't know bookshop.org, this post does a great job explaining their goals.

(Full disclosure, I do have an affiliate link for this site, though I think it's more like a referral rewards program since it seems like basically anyone can sign up; afaik it's their equivalent of Amazon storefront. I'd appreciate people using that link if they're buying something anyway.)

alright everyone, here’s the big reveal !! i finally finished up this wishlist , & tbh i’m really proud of it ?? i think it’s pretty bangin’ so i hope u do to! please note: you MUST be 18+ to write with me, & i will not write ANY smut or taboo/dark topics with minors. if you lie about your age, i will block you so fast. thanks guys !! 

just with a short introduction, my name’s magnolia !! i use she/her pronouns. i am in the est timezone & i am 20+. i have no triggers or banned fcs. 

here are my favorite fcs to play or play against: lily james, chris evans, chris hemsworth, austin butler, nina dobrev, margot robbie, ariana grande, harry styles, louis tomlinson, danielle campbell, chris wood, & tbh anyone in my wanted fc tag! i always check out who my partner is interested in writing—so i will check out ur fcs too! i’m almost always inspired by someone on your list!

okay let’s jump to some fandoms i’m into ! i love harry potter, gossip girl, one tree hill, pretty little liars, star wars, atla, disney, the hunger games, percy jackson, 

okay on to some more general plots ( please check out my wanted plots tag ! i only have two there right now but ujdfknjkfa u know what ) i love student/teacher , bad boy/good girl , royal aus , mafia aus, etc 

okay on to more specific stuff !!

so i really want something inspired by the princess diaries royal engagement. like i was thinking m/f where the guy is obsessed with being king of this country, and the princess is being forced to find someone to marry. the guy tries to ruin all of her suitors or get to them first, but he’s also trying to woe the princess himself & he may ( or may not ! ) be falling for her. i’d want to play m. 

also on to vampire king plots because i’m weak ! anyway give me the most famous vampire hunter ( f ) being forced to marry the king of vampires ( m ) after they’ve taken over the world. can be kinda dark, and i’d want to play m. 

anyway, give me a hollywood relationship ! i want something that is totally pr or totally toxic — a fashion designer who’s the gem of hollywood dating this absolute playboy actor/model or singer. they’re perfect in front of everyone, but absolutely toxic outside of that. i’d want to play m or f. 

also can someone let me play ariana grande as a sugar baby in a nsfw plot !

message me if you’re interested!! i promise i’m nice! crosse out means taken.
