I just submitted my entry for a Fakemon contest hosted by Subjectively for their Mazah Region. I figured I could share it here too and let people check it out! I’m still working on learning the Sugimori shading style and I know this doesn’t quite fit right but I am happy with the way it turned out.

Lots more info below the cut!

Pokédex Entry: A constant stream of alternating electrical currents runs between its two brains, allowing them to function as one mind. While other multi-headed Pokémon often disagree with each other, Omehuattl's heads work in perfect synchronicity making it a brutally efficient hunter. Its bite is capable of rendering foes several times its size paralyzed with a potent mix of venom and electricity. When not on the hunt, these Pokémon like to relax coiled around power lines, soaking up inductive current to recharge its body.

Base Stats: HP: 70 Atk: 87 Def: 68 SpAtk: 44 SpDef: 60 Spd: 76 Total: 405

Ability: Twin Strike - The base attack power of every move is halved, but every attack that hits, hits twice. The second attack always uses the accuracy check result of the first attack. Attacks that already hit more than once, such as Fury Attack will have the ability to hit from 2 to 10 times. Only the first hit is able to be a critical hit. Secondary effects that trigger on hit, trigger for each hit. This ability cannot be copied or transferred.

Hidden Ability: Static

Signature Move: Current Winding – The user coils its electrically charged body around the foe, trapping it and shocking it for several turns. – A physical, electric type binding move that partially traps the foe and deals a small amount of damage for anywhere between two and five turns. (Basically an electric type Fire Spin or Sand Tomb)

Type: Electric Category: Physical PP: 15 (max. 24) Power: 35 Accuracy: 85% Makes contact Affected by Protect Not affected by Magic Coat Not affected by Snatch Affected by Mirror Move Affected by King's Rock

Mechanical Notes: I wanted this Pokémon to be a single evolution Pokémon that would still be decent to have in your team. I didn't want its stats to be too incredible, but I will let the game designers have free reign when it comes to any tweaks they want to make to the stats if it ends up in the Mazah Region game. I gave it kind of below average stats for a final form because of its signature ability – I wanted something to offset an ability I know would be very interesting and tempting in competitive play with some kinda sub-par stats. Between the signature binding move Current Winding and the 2x chance to proc secondary effects, especially flinching, (give this thing a King's Rock and say hello to the para-flinch champion of the Mazah Region!) I wanted it to give it less than stellar stats to make it less appealing of a choice for higher level play. Not saying it couldn't make shenanigans happen, I watch Temp6t and PradYT and I know what shenanigans Pokémon with mediocre stats can get up to, but I wanted it to be a fun challenge to make those shenanigans happen.

Design Inspiration: I got the initial idea from an Aztec sculpture of a two-headed serpent made of topaz-encrusted wood – it was a sculpture that had always interested me in the past and was just begging to be made into a Pokémon. Looking at the list of types we'd been given, I picked Electric as my base point and started sketching. I decided pretty early on it needed to be Electric/Poison type, and I started drawing inspiration from horned vipers. Then I remembered a friend's recent trip to Costa Rica, where he got to see Eyelash Vipers and sent us lots of pictures. So I looked at lots of pictures of Eyelash Vipers and decided that needed to be part of the design. The crests over the eyes being shaped like lightning bolts were perfect, and I did a bunch of sketches of head shapes from different angles with the mouth open and closed before I settled on the two heads in my final design.

The zigzag pattern down the back is more reminiscent of rattlesnakes, perhaps, but I was inspired there by a quilt pattern made by the same friend who went to Costa Rica (he also owns like, four snakes so I guess this design is dedicated to him, lol). I picked red and blue as the colors because of red and blue representing the two phases of “hot” conductors in a three-wire electrical system (in the US that's generally the 240V connection you'd see on your dryer hookup, but when looking at a waveform it's generally red & blue – hello yes my day job is electrical transmission & distribution engineering).

Another interesting tie-in here is that “hot” is used by electrical workers to refer to energized conductors, and by herpetologists to refer to venomous snakes and reptiles. There's also a parallel there between electric attacks causing paralysis in Pokémon as well as neurotoxic venom causing paralysis in real life. The fangs are also a copper color to show that they could deliver a venomous bite, or they could be electrical leads and making contact across both fangs would deliver a powerful shock.

Another thing that inspired part of it's Pokédex entry, about it coiling around electrical wires, is the principle of inductance – electromagnetic fields generated by current flowing through conductors can induce electrical currents in wires wound around them called inductors. This is also what makes transformers work. I thought at first of making it's body corkscrewed to emphasize the inductor inspiration, but didn't want its body pose to be too similar to that of Seviper. Instead I gave its body a more angular pose rather than a smooth slender serpentine shape to somewhat resemble a lightning bolt. I imagine it slithers across the ground in a sharp zigzag pattern rather than a smooth sinusoidal pattern. It would either get along brilliantly with Zigzagoon, or hunt it mercilessly.

For the color pallet of the shiny form, I at first had it colored green like a circuit board with the gold and silver zigzag stripes running down its back like conductive leads. I decided the green was too dark and played around with several different colors before settling on a teal to resemble the turquoise on the original Aztec sculpture. I left the zigzag as gold and silver, and made the fangs gold, to make it seem inlaid with precious metals, if I was going to lean into the decorative statue aesthetic. Gold is also a highly conductive material often used in circuit board design because of its low melting point. Silver is also conductive, but not really used in circuitry – more commonly silver-colored conductors are aluminum, or tin-plated copper. Just a fun fact for ya.

Omehuattl Name Inspiration: Dude there are so many meanings tied up in this name. It's pronounced “Oh-meh-watt” Ome: Nahuatl word for “two” Ohm: Unit of electrical resistance Nahuatl: The Aztec/Mexica language Watt: Unit of electrical power Coatl: Nahuatl word for both “snake” and “twins”

idk what all you write about kink wise, but could you do sub!jake with pegging? where he’s really subby and cute and the reader (female) takes care of him

A/N: I don't write pegging lol but I hope u enjoy <3 (forgive me if there r any spelling mistakes)

Warnings: oral (m receiving), fingering (f receiving), unprotected sex

Word count: 1.6 k

Jake falls on top of you while you lay in bed. You let out an 'oof' from the sudden weight. His hair is a little damp from his shower and it's poking into your eyes.

"Please give me a warning if you're gonna do that." you wince.

"I'm sorry," he groans and rolls off of you. "I'm not having a good day."

Your brows furrow. "Why? Did something happen?"

He runs a hand through hair and sighs. "The choreo for drunk dazed is just really hard and we're all struggling to be synchronized. It just feels like everyone is blaming each other for it."

You frown and pull him against you so that his head is resting on your chest. "I'm sorry baby. But I'm sure you guys will figure it out, you always do. Maybe everyone was feeling extra crummy today."

"Maybe," he says while wrapping his arms around your waist. "I couldn't stop thinking about coming to see you all day. I think I'm addicted to you."

You giggle.

"Seriously though, what are you laced with? Meth? Crack?" he jokes and you ruffle his hair.

"I think about you all day too sweetheart." you kiss the top of his head.

He smiles and throws his leg on top of yours. "What'd you do today?"

"The usual. School. Work. And dealing with that one bitch who always has the most complicated drink order." you roll your eyes.

"Is that the lady who asks for like twelve different syrups?" he chuckles.

"Yeah, I think it's for her kid too, I should call CPS." you joke and he laughs.

"Ugh, now I can't stop thinking about what happened today." he groans. "I hate being angry, I wish we could all get over this already."

"Sometimes it's worse to just move on, you should clear the air first." you suggest.

"But apologizing sucks." he complains.

"I know but it'll be worth it." you rub his back.

"I need something that will get my mind off of it." he says.

"You got any ideas?"

"Mhm," he says while pushing his hand up your shirt.

You chuckle. "Of course that's what it is."

"What," he says sheepishly. "It's your fault for being so tempting."

You push him onto his back and climb into his lap. His hands immediately find your hips.

You kiss him softly, your thumb gently swiping back and forth on his cheek.

He opens his mouth, inviting your tongue to meet his. He's already grinding up into you and this point.

You hold his hips down. "Patience."

He just whines and gives you puppy eyes, but you don't cave.

You slide your hand up his hoodie and glide your fingers along his warm skin. He feels so good under you, you’ll never be able to get enough of him.

You push his hoodie up and stick your head under, pecking all of the skin you can reach.

He laughs and pets your hair. “I thought you said to be patient.”

“You’re too good to resist.” you say while palming him through his sweats.

He whimpers as he starts to struggle under your touch.

You pull down the band of his sweats just the slightest bit to kiss his hip bone.

He watches you with wide eyes, anticipating your every move.

“If you want me to do something you’re gonna have to ask.” you tease.

“Touch me please,” he says without hesitation.

You smirk before coming up to kiss him while sliding your hand into his Calvins.

He whines into your mouth and you smile, loving how quickly he submits to you.

“I’m sorry my angel had a bad day,” you kiss his jaw. “I’ll make you feel better okay?”

He nods eagerly as you tug his pants down. You waste no time getting your mouth on his cock.

He hisses and grips at the duvet. “Fuck,” he exhales.

You pull away and let spit drip from your tongue down to his tip and it’s so hot that Jake’s tempted to take a picture.

You take him into the back of your throat and his head falls back with a moan. You can see his Adam’s apple dip every time he swallows.

You continue to bob your head up and down and he moves to pet your hair.

“Please don’t stop,” he begs, his desperation sending heat straight between your legs.

“Fuck you’re so good.” his hips buck up and you hold him down. You brace yourself and deepthroat him, you can feel your eyes watering.

He moans and grabs at the headboard behind him. “Can I cum please? Please I need it.” he says hopelessly.

You nod and it only takes one swallow around his tip to get him whimpering and trembling under you.

You swallow his seed while he comes down from his high.

“Thank you,” he exhales before pulling you up for a kiss. “I love you.”

You smile. “I love you too baby.”

“Can you fuck me please?” he hooks his fingers into the band of your shorts and underwear.

You smirk and help him out, throwing your garments onto the floor. He pulls you into his lap and tugs your hoodie over your head.

“So pretty,” he says before kissing your chest, running his tongue over your sensitive nipples. You moan and comb your hands through his hair.

His fingers travel down to your desperate cunt to draw circles on your clit.

You grab his cock, not being able to hold out anymore. You line yourself up with him before slowly sinking down.

He buries his head into your neck. “Fucking god,” he groans. “So wet.”

Your head falls back as he hits your sweet spot.

“You feel so good,” he whimpers.

“Yeah?” you ask cockily.

He looks up at you with sparkling eyes and nods.

“My pretty puppy,” you coo while bouncing up and down on him. “Taking this pussy like a good boy.”

His head falls back down onto your shoulder but you tug his hair, getting his eyes on you.

“Look at me when I fuck you.” you say and he whimpers.

“I’m sorry,” he says sweetly and you kiss him.

He reaches down to play with your clit while you rock your hips against his.

You run your hands softly over his shoulders then down his lean torso. You watch his face and the way the corners of his lips perk up every now and then. He’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen.

His eyes were clouded and completely taken over by your presence and he looks so pretty you could die.

He holds your waist tight while moaning and whimpering mindlessly, not caring if your neighbors can hear.

His whines begin to get more frantic and you kiss his forehead. “You close?”

“Mhm,” he says. You can tell that he’s trying not to finish. “I don’t think I can hold it anymore.”

"You can go a little longer." you tease.

He shakes his head. "I can't I can't. You feel too good."

You squeeze around him just to have fun and he whimpers, looking at you with desperation in his eyes.

"Please y/n." you can see that he's starting to tear up.

Your hand comes up to tug on his hair. “Cum for me then, be good, puppy.”

“Harder.” he begs and you obey.

His head snaps back and his lips part, letting out the most alluring sounds you could ever hear.

Your bouncing turns into grinding as he releases into you.

“Good boy,” you whisper to him as he relaxes.

He kisses your neck while slumping into you.

You smile. “You did so good baby.”

“Thank you,” he says.

You’re about to get up when he grabs you and pulls you so that your back is against his chest.

“What’s going on?” you ask.

“You didn’t cum,” he says before pushing one finger into you. You moan, still sensitive from the stimulation you had a moment ago.

He drapes your legs over his, spreading you wide.

“All I wanna do is make you feel good.” he says while pushing a second finger in.

Your head falls back onto his shoulder and he takes that opportunity to kiss your neck. He curls his fingers just the slightest bit and your hips buck.

“Fuck,” you moan.

His fingers reach deeper than yours ever could. They make you feel things that you’ve never felt before.

You look down to watch his dripping fingers disappear in and out of your cunt.

It’s not long before your thighs begin to tremble. You guys have been together to the point where he knows every trick that makes your eyes roll back and your back arch, but every time he uses them, it just gets better and better.

“Please cum for me,” Jake uses his free hand to massage your chest. “I wanna be good for you.”

Your hips begin to pull away but he’s quick to pull you against him.

Your moans get more and more desperate as you reach your high. Then finally, you’re falling into an abyss of euphoria.

He peppers kisses all over you as you calm down, his fingers still slowly pumping in and out of you.

You turn around to straddle him and give him a kiss. “You’re so good.” you say.

He blushes like a schoolgirl and kisses your cheek. “I love you.”

You chuckle. It’s cute how often he likes to say it. “I love you too puppy.”

“Am I really that much like a puppy?” he says. “Don’t I look cooler now with my black hair?”

“I suppose,” you ruffle it. “You’re still a cutie to me.” You’re kidding, you know that he’s stupid hot.

He sighs and rolls his eyes.

You giggle. “Why? Do you wanna be bad?” “Mhm.” he nods.

“Maybe I can treat you like you are.” you push him into his back for another round.

Comparison of appetites

Abed Nadir/f!Reader Abed reminds the reader that he’s a grown man and then proves his point. Pretty much straight up PWP, set sometime after season 3. Not BETAd, I got too impatient.

Explicit Content warnings: unprotected PIV sex

——–

“What are you doing?”

“God!” When Abed wasn’t in character as somebody else, he moved so softly you sometimes didn’t notice him until he was right beside you. You shut the fridge door and there he was. “...I’m just checking the fridge. It’s almost dinner time.”

Abed’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly and he surveyed the mess you’d already made. “Are you going to accidentally cook too much food again and then act like I’d be doing you a favour by eating some?”

Hmm. So much for your acting skills. “...no?”

Abed picked up a packet of noodles from the counter. “This is my favourite brand.”

“Is it?”

He frowned. It wasn’t that Abed couldn’t understand people, he was just usually too wrapped up in himself to turn his intense focus on you. When he did, he could see right through you. “I moved away from home five years ago. Please don’t try to take care of me.”

“Yeah, but Abed... I’ve seen you eat nothing but Let’s for three days straight. You’ll get scurvy.”

“That’s my problem, not yours.”

“I know you can look after yourself.” His intensity was starting to make you feel a little nervous. “I like it when we eat together, that’s all. It feels sad, cooking for one.”

Abed considered this and his stance softened. “Then we should take turns. I can take care of dinner tonight.”

It wasn’t often he took charge like this with you and you had no wish to stop him. There were limits though - you wouldn’t submit to a meal of all carbs. “Only if you’re getting take out.”

“Hm.” He reached out and plucked a menu from its place on the fridge. “How about this place?”

“Sure, I order from there all the time. I usually get -“

“Yes, I know your order.”

Either you were getting very predictable or Abed paid more attention to you than he let on. In case it was the former, you crossed your arms over your chest and glared at him. “Fine, mister Alpha. Blow my mind.”

“I could get us a couple of beers.”

You felt yourself beginning to blush. You couldn’t help yourself. “...This is starting to sound like a date.”

Abed gave you a long, searching look. “Maybe it should be.”

His gaze dropped to your lips. The tension was becoming unbearable - and then it broke when you reached for him and he moved in close. With his hands on your waist, he pushed you gently but irresistibly against the fridge and pressed his lips to yours in an urgent kiss. As soon as the shock abated, you grabbed hold of the front of his sweater to keep him in place. The easiest way to be around him was soft and yielding and it’d never felt as easy or as right to let him take the lead as it did right now. Not if this was what he wanted...

You hadn’t expected him to be such a good kisser. He felt your reactions, heard you sigh and whimper and teased you to hear it again. In case it wasn’t enough encouragement, you took one of his hands in yours and guided it slowly down your side until it rested just below the hem of your skirt.

Abed gasped and broke the kiss, just barely. “Are you sure?”

“I am, if you are.”

He replied by kissing you again, teasing your lips apart and letting his hand explore its way up your thigh.

You refused to be outdone. Now that you finally had your hands on him you wanted to feel all of him, the firm muscles he always kept hidden and the soft, warm skin of his long neck... then his fingers grazed against your cunt and you whimpered. You wanted to spread your legs, undress yourself, undress him, whatever would move this forward the quickest but all you could manage to do was stay upright and try to keep reasonably quiet.

You’d watched him and you’d wanted him ever since you moved in but you’d been so sure he neither noticed nor cared what you thought. He’d been polite and direct and usually too busy to let you bridge the gap between roommates and friends. You had almost felt guilty, fantasising about someone who seemed so completely uninterested. Had this been why? His breath was hot and quick against your throat, his grip on your waist was almost rough and his touch was sure and eager - there was no doubt anymore that he wanted this as much as you did.

“God, Abed...”

“More?”

“Yes, yes please.”

Abed leaned out and looked around, then shoved everything you’d left on the kitchen counter far enough aside to make room for you. You took the hint and hopped onto it with his help, he pulled your panties down and off, dropped them on the floor without a look and got between your legs.

His eyes searched yours and he kept watching you as he spread your legs even wider apart, pulled you closer to him and then slowly slipped two fingers into you. The sound of you moaning for him, eager and shaky, made him swallow. As good as it felt to finally have him touch you, it was rivalled by the look of almost pained want on his handsome face - his eyes were wide, his lips were parted, he breathed fast. How long had he wanted this? Had you both lain awake hurting for each other with just a thin, cracked wall separating you? What a waste...

Abed knew what he was doing. He started slow, hooked his fingers slightly and pressed up against your clit every time he almost withdrew. Whatever pulled a more urgent sound from you, he tried again and he soon settled into a rhythm just slow enough to tempt you to beg him for more. Maybe he was teasing, maybe he was only being careful - it was hard to tell.

You weren’t interested in keeping things so one sided. You reached for him again, teased his stomach with your fingers, trailed kisses over the nape of his neck and shakily began to undo his fly.

“You don’t have to,” he said and there was an unmistakeable tremble in his voice.

“I appreciate that,” you replied and held on tight to your patience, “and same to you, but just to be clear, I want you to fuck me. I’ve waited long enough.”

He shut his eyes, then nodded. His movements slowed, allowing you to work his fly open quicker and finally slip your hand down the front of his pants. He gasped when you touched him and you couldn’t help but mirror it - he was so hard it must be painful. You felt his dick twitch in response when you wrapped your fingers around it and it took some manoeuvring to pull him free.

Abed was never shy and rarely embarrassed and it was difficult at times not to be a little intimidated by such perfect confidence. This was definitely one of those times, especially now that you had another piece of proof of how well earned his self esteem was. As hard as he was, your touch only made him draw a slow, noisy breath. His attention was as steadily fixed on you and his self control as unwavering and he let you stroke him and admire the view for a few moments in silence. Then he smiled ever so slightly and you shook yourself out of it.

You scooted closer, hooked your legs around his hips and pulled him towards you. Abed gently pushed your hand out of the way, lined up against you and slowly, carefully eased himself inside your cunt. You reached for him, held on for purchase with one arm around his shoulders and your fingers digging into his arm and pressed your free hand over your mouth not to alert the neighbours with your moans. With your eyes shut and your head spinning, everything in the world seemed to fade but the scent of his skin, the heat of his body against yours and your need to take him deeper.

You were wet enough that even in this awkward position and even as thick as he was, he slipped in easily, inch by inch, stopping only when his hips were pressed up against your thighs and he had buried himself to the hilt. With one hand on your ass and the other on the counter he held you in place and began to fuck you properly, fast and hard almost from the word go.

Your resolution to stay quiet didn’t last long. Instead you clung on to him, cried out each time he thrust back into you, wordlessly egging him on, and put your other arm behind your head in a feeble attempt to stop it bumping into the cupboard.

“Oh God...” you whined once you finally found your words again. “Please, please don’t stop...”

“Yeah,” Abed breathed and that seemed to be all he was capable of for the moment.

Either he’d taken your words to heart or he couldn’t make himself care enough to play nice any longer because he was rough with you and took what he wanted. He kissed you until it got awkward, he shivered, moaned and bit his lip to keep himself in check but if he noticed, or worried, about bruising you or fucking you too hard too soon, he didn’t show it.

To get him this affected, for him to want you this badly and take you the way he wanted to take you was a fevered daydream come true. The discomfort of the sticky counter beneath you, the edge of the fluorescent light digging into your neck and his hands holding you ever so slightly too tight only added to it. Without words, without anything else to focus on but the feel of him inside you, the push and pull, the almost-completion when he bottomed out in you and the impatient hunger when he withdrew even partly, it was impossible to tell one moment from the next. Your whines and moans sounded more and more pathetic and his soft sighs and gasps escaped him more and more often.

Eventually, after however long it’d been, Abed leaned out and fixed you with a look of longing. “I... I’ve wanted this...”

You trembled. “Me too.”

“Yeah, but I don’t think I can last.”

Your cunt squeezed even tighter around him. The number of times you’d pictured what he might look like as he came undone... “Don’t hold back,” you whispered. “You can take me like this again, any time you like.”

Abed groaned. His brows furrowed, he shut his eyes tight and tried to breathe steadily but he was too far gone now to reign himself in. Without thinking, you locked him in place with your legs wrapped around him and your arms around his neck, kissed him and let him manoeuvre you as he wanted.

It took maybe two more desperate thrusts of his hips before he pulled you towards him and held you there. You felt as he came in you, felt it in the tension in his every muscle, heard it in his desperate, choked moan, felt it in his fingers digging into your flesh and felt it inside of you. Even as he rode it out, he pressed a final, clumsy kiss to your lips.

The next moments were also hard to define until reality began to creep back in. You had a crick in your neck and the kitchen was filthy, especially now; without the heat of the moment, it wasn’t so easy to ignore that everything about this was horribly uncomfortable. The two of you slowly caught your breath, eventually you relaxed and let him go and Abed stepped out and unceremoniously tucked himself back into his jeans. You shifted where you sat and realised with a blush that this skirt might have to be retired - the word sticky didn’t begin to describe it. Then Abed stroked your cheek with his thumb and you wanted to reach for him again.

“Are you alright?” he asked, sounding as steady as ever.

“I might be a little sore tomorrow,” you laughed. When he looked concerned, you continued, “in a good way. What about you?”

“I might walk a little funny.”

The question of ‘what happens now?’ was really beginning to loom, and you neither wanted to ask nor answer it yet. All of this would take some time to sink in and you were as unsure of your own answer as you were of his. Until this evening, you’d convinced yourself that the atmosphere in this apartment only stemmed from you and now you had to keep living together... While you deliberated, Abed rolled his shoulders and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. Then he rescued you with a much simpler question:

“Are you still hungry?”

“Oh, yes. Especially now.”

He looked over at you and after hesitating almost imperceptibly, he asked, “do you still want to have dinner with me?”

“I do. Dinner, drinks and a movie, if you’re up for it...” Abed smiled and you smiled back. The wet spot you were sitting in would require bleach. There was almost twenty dollars worth of food scattered across the floor. Most important of all, you were pretty sure you’d just seen a crack in his confidence - he was relieved that you’d said yes and this was still a date, a beginning. “Especially now.”

07: Goal Digger

When we are talking about goals we usually think of something we want only for ourselves. It’s exciting to think of what you can be in the future and what you will have as well, but sometimes some people tend to forget that we still need to make an action before we get something we want. We keep on saying that we want this and that but we don’t even make a move on how to get it. Honestly, the past “Regina” was like that. My mind focuses only on my desires, and we can relate this to Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory which are the id, ego, and superego. Our id says “I want it now!” as our superego says “You still can’t have it because you don’t have money yet”, they battle around our mind until our ego says “Okay, kids, let’s study well, find work, earn money and buy what we want”. In every goal we have, there is always a process that we need to get into. We can’t have anything in an instant! Even at opening our phone, we still need to wait and do something in order to open it, and that is to press the power button. In life we also have actions like opening the power button, but the thing is we need to open ourselves. We need to step out of our comfort zone and find ways on how to achieve our goals.

Since I was a kid, my parents buy me planners and notebooks because I love writing, drawing and putting my goals in it. I have this one perpetual planner that I still update whenever I want or got something, and it always gives me this wonderful feeling at any time my plans worked or have gotten well than I expected it to be. And today it really took me a long time to know what I want to have; maybe because I feel down due to this pandemic and my family experienced a huge deal of a problem related to this year’s stumbling block which made me worry about my future.

How America Became an Economic Superpower

Rarely, you read a book that rouses you to see a recognizable story in a completely extraordinary manner. So it was with Adam Tooze's shocking monetary history of World War II, The Wages of Destruction. Thus it is again with his financial history of the First World War and its outcome, The Deluge. They sum together to another history of the twentieth century: the American century, which as indicated by Tooze started not in 1945 however in 1916, the year U.S. yield overwhelmed that of the whole British domain. However, Tooze's point of view is definitely not barely American. His planetary history includes democratization in Japan and value swelling in Denmark; the introduction of the Argentine far right just as the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia. The two books portray the circular segment of American monetary amazingness from its starting to its apogee. It is both unfavourable and fitting that the second volume of the story was distributed in 2014, the year wherein—at any rate by one monetary measure—that matchless quality reached a conclusion. "The United Kingdom has the earth, and Germany needs it." Such was Woodrow Wilson's examination of the First World War in the mid-year of 1916, as recorded by one of his consultants. What's more, shouldn't something be said about the United States? Prior to the 1914 war, the incredible monetary capability of the U.S. was smothered by its ineffectual political framework, broken money related framework, and extraordinarily rough racial and work clashes. "America was a precept for urban unite, bungle and voracity fuelled legislative issues, as much with respect to development, creation, and benefit," Tooze composes. The United States may guarantee a more extensive majority rule government than those that won in Europe. Then again, European states prepared their populaces with an effectiveness that stunned a few Americans (eminently Theodore Roosevelt) and horrified others (prominently Wilson). The magazine established by star war scholarly people in 1914, The New Republic, took its title unequivocally in light of the fact that its editors viewed the current American republic as anything other than the expectation of tomorrow. However as World War-I entered its third year—and the principal year of Tooze's story—the perceived leverage was noticeably tilting from Europe to America. The belligerents could no longer support the expenses of the hostile war. Cut off from world exchange, Germany crouched into a protective attack, focusing its assaults on frail foes like Romania. The Western partners, and particularly Britain, equipped their powers by putting in bigger and bigger war requests with the United States. In 1916, Britain purchased in excess of a fourth of the motors for its new air armada, the greater part of its shell housings, more than 66% of its grain, and almost the entirety of its oil from remote providers, with the United States heading the rundown. England and France paid for these buys by drifting bigger and bigger bond issues to American purchasers—named in dollars, not pounds or francs. "Before the finish of 1916, American financial specialists had bet two billion dollars on an Entente triumph," processes Tooze (comparative with America's assessed GDP of $50 billion of every 1916, the likeness $560 billion in the present cash). That amazing amount of Allied buys called forward something like a war assembly in the United States. American industrial facilities changed from regular citizen to military creation; American ranchers planted nourishment and fibre to take care of and dress the warriors of Europe. In any case, dissimilar to in 1940-41, the choice to submit such a great amount to the other side's triumph in a European war was not a political choice by the U.S. government. A remarkable opposite: President Wilson wished to avoid the war altogether. He broadly favoured a "harmony without triumph." The difficulty was that by 1916, the U.S. promise to Britain and France had developed—to get an expression from the future—too enormous to come up short. Tooze's picture of Woodrow Wilson is one of the most capturing oddities of his book. His Wilson is no fantastic optimist. The president's invigorating thought was an American exceptionalism of a now-well-known however then-frightening kind. His Republican rivals—men like Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Elihu Root—wished to see America have its spot among the powers of the earth. They needed a naval force, a military, a national bank, and the various instrumentalities of power controlled by Britain, France, and Germany. These political adversaries are generally disparaged as "neutralists" since they questioned the Wilson's League of Nations venture. That is a serious mix-up. They questioned the League since they dreaded it would infringe on American power. It was Wilson who wished to stay detached from the Entente, who expected that excessively close a relationship with Britain and France would restrict American alternatives. This lack of approachability goaded Theodore Roosevelt, who whined that the Wilson-drove United States was "sitting inactive, articulating modest sayings, and getting exchange, while they had spilt out their blood like water on the side of standards in which, with everything that is in them, they accept." Wilson was guided by an alternate vision: Rather than join the battle of majestic competitions, the United States could utilize its developing power to stifle those contentions through and through. Wilson was the principal American statesman to see that the United States had developed, in Tooze's words, into "a power dissimilar to some other. It had risen, out of nowhere, as a novel sort of 'super-state,' practising a veto over the budgetary and security worries of the other significant conditions of the world." Wilson would have liked to convey this developing super-power to implement a suffering harmony. His own errors and those of his successors bound the undertaking, getting underway the deplorable occasions that would prompt the Great Depression, the ascent of one-party rule, and a second and significantly increasingly dreadful universal war. What turned out badly? "At the point when everything is said and done," Tooze expresses, "the appropriate response must be looked for in the disappointment of the United States to help out the endeavours of the French, British, Germans and the Japanese to settle a suitable world economy and to set up new establishments of aggregate security. … Given the viciousness, they had just experienced and the danger of significantly more noteworthy future pulverization, France, Germany, Japan, and Britain could all observe this. However, what was no more subtle was that lone the US could grapple such another request." And that was what Americans of the 1920s and 1930s declined to do—in light of the fact that doing so inferred an excess of progress at home for them: "At the centre of the quickly developing, American-focused world framework there was a country married to its very own moderate vision future." Intermittently, endeavours have been made to restore the American heads of the 1920s. The latest adaptation, James Grant's The Forgotten Depression, 1921: The Crash That Cured Itself, was discharged only two days before The Deluge: Grant, a persuasive money related writer and student of history, holds sees so antiquated that they have become practically retro-hip once more. He has confidence in frugality, adjusted spending plans, and the highest quality level; he hates government obligation and Keynesian financial aspects. The Forgotten Depression is a questioning installed inside a story, a contention against the Obama improvement joined to a record of the downturn of 1920-21. As Grant accurately watches, that downturn was one of the most keen and generally excruciating in American history. All out mechanical creation may have dropped by 30 per cent. Joblessness spiked at maybe near 12 per cent (precise joblessness measurements don't exist for this period). In general, costs plunged at the steepest rate at any point recorded—more extreme than in 1929-33. At that point, following year and a half of amazingly harsh occasions, the economy staggered into recuperation. By 1923, the U.S. had come back to full work. Award presents this story as a free enterprise triumph. Wartime expansion was stopped. Getting and spending offered approach to sparing and contributing. Recuperation at that point happened normally, with no requirement for government upgrade. "The legend of my story is the value system, Adam Smith's undetectable hand," he notes. "In a market economy, costs organize human exertion. They channel speculation, sparing and work. Significant expenses energize creation however demoralize utilization; low costs do the inverse. The downturn of 1920-21 was set apart by plunging costs, the threat we call flattening. Be that as it may, costs and wages fell just up until this point. They quit falling when they become low enough to tempt purchasers into shopping, financial specialists into submitting capital and businesses into employing. Through the organization of falling costs and wages, the American economy corrected itself." Reader, draw your own correlations! Award's contention isn't new. The libertarian financial specialist Murray Rothbard contended a comparable case in his 1963 book, America's Great Depression. The Rothbardian story of the "great" despondency of 1920 has reemerged every once in a while in the years since, most marvellously when Fox News star Glenn Beck took advantage of it as verification that the Obama upgrade wasn't right and hazardous. Award recounts to the story with more verve and mind than most, and with a superior eye for occurrence and character. In any case, the focal supposition of his variant of occasions is a similar one caught in Rothbard's title 50 years back: that America's financial history comprises a story unto itself. Extend the view, be that as it may, and the "overlooked gloom" takes on a more extensive importance as one of the most unfavourable achievements on the world's way to the Second World War. After World War II, Europe recouped to a great extent because of American guide; the country that had experienced least the war contributed most to remaking. Be that as it may, after World War I, the cash streamed the other way. Take the instance of France, which endured more in material terms than any World War I hawkish aside from Belgium. Northeastern France, the nation's most industrialized area in 1914, had been desolated by war and German occupation. A huge number of men in their prime were dead or disabled. On everything, the nation was profoundly paying off debtors, owing billions to the United States and billions more to Britain. France had been a loan specialist during the contention as well, however, the greater part of its credits had been stretched out to Russia, which revoked all its remote obligations after the Revolution of 1917. The French arrangement was to correct reparations from Germany. England was eager to loosen up its requests on France. Be that as it may, it owed the United States much more than France. Except if it gathered from France—and from Italy and the various littler warriors too—it couldn't plan to pay its American obligations. Americans, in the interim, were engrossed with the issue of German recuperation. How could Germany accomplish political dependability on the off chance that it needed to pay such a great amount to France and Belgium? The Americans squeezed the French to yield when it came to Germany, yet demanded that their own cases become up with all required funds by both France and Britain. Germany, as far as it matters for its, could possibly pay in the event that it could fare, and particularly to the world's greatest and most extravagant customer advertise the United States. The downturn of 1920 executed those fare trusts. Most quickly, the monetary emergency cut American customer request accurately when Europe required it most. Genuine, World War I was not so sure an encounter for working Americans as World War II would be; somewhere in the range of 1914 and 1918, for instance, compensation lingered behind costs. All things considered, a huge number of Americans had purchased billions of dollars of little section Liberty bonds. They had amassed investment funds that could have been spent on imported items. Rather, many utilized their reserve funds for nourishment, lease, and home loan enthusiasm during the tough occasions of 1920-21. Be that as it may, the gravest mischief done by the downturn to after war recuperation kept going long past 1921. To value that, you need to comprehend the reasons why U.S. money related specialists dove the nation into gloom in 1920. Award properly calls attention to that wars are normally trailed by financial downturns. Such a downturn happened in late 1918-mid 1919. "Inside about a month of the … Armistice, the War Department had dropped $2.5 billion of its then remarkable $6 billion in contracts; for point of view, $2.5 billion spike to 3.3 per cent of the 1918 gross national item," he watches. Indeed, even this downplays the stun, on the grounds that it tallies just Army contracts, not Navy ones. The after-war downturn checked wartime expansion, and by March 1919, the U.S. economy was developing once more. As the economy resuscitated, labourers mixed for wage increments to balance the value expansion they'd encountered during the war. Money related specialists stressed that expansion would restore and quicken, settled on the pivotal choice to pummel the credit brakes, hard. In contrast to the 1918 downturn, that of 1920 was purposely designed. There was nothing undetectable about it. Nor did the downturn "fix itself." U.S. authorities cut financing costs and loosened up credit, and the economy typically recuperated—similarly as it did after the comparably expansion smashing downturns of 1974-75 and 1981-82. However, 1920-21 was a swelling plug with a distinction. In post-World War II America, hostile to inflationists have been substance to prevent costs from rising. In 1920-21, money related specialists really tried to drive costs back to their pre-war levels. They didn't entirely succeed, however, they succeeded all around ok. One cost particularly concerned them: In 1913, a dollar purchased somewhat less than one-twentieth of an ounce of gold; by 1922, it easily did so once more. James Grant hails this achievement. Adam Tooze constrains us to deal with its ramifications for the remainder of the planet. Each and every other World War I aggressive had stopped the best quality level toward the start of the war. As a component of their war money, they acknowledged that their cash would deteriorate against gold. The monetary forms of the failures devalued significantly more than the champs; among the victors, the money of Italy deteriorated more than that of France, and France more than that of Britain. However, even the forceful pound lost very nearly one-fourth of its incentive against gold. Toward the finish of the contention, each national government needed to conclude whether to come back to the best quality level and, assuming this is the case, at what rate. The American despondency of 1920 settled on that choice even more troublesome. The war had vaulted the United States to another status as the world's driving leaser, the world's biggest proprietor of gold, and, by expansion, the compelling overseer of the worldwide highest quality level. At the point when the U.S. settled on monstrous flattening, it pushes onto each nation that wished to come back to the highest quality level (and what decent nation would not?) a horrifying issue. Come back to gold at 1913 qualities, and you would need to coordinate the U.S. emptying with a considerably more extreme flattening of your own, tolerating expanded joblessness en route. Then again, you could re-peg your money to gold at a lessened rate. In any case, that added up to a confirmation that your cash had for all time lost worth—and that your own kin, who had confided in their legislature with advances in neighbourhood cash, would get a more vulnerable profit for their bonds than American loan bosses who had loaned in dollars. England picked the previous course; basically every other person picked the last mentioned. The outcomes of these decisions fill a great part of the second 50% of The Deluge. For Europeans, they were consistently dismal and more terrible. Be that as it may, one significant impact, at last, bounced back on Americans. America's assurance to reestablish a dollar "in the same class as gold" not just forced horrible hardship on war-attacked Europe, it additionally took steps to flood American markets with minimal effort European imports. The other side of the Lost Generation getting a charge out of modest European travel with their solid dollars was German steelmakers and shipyards undervaluing their American rivals with powerless imprints. Such a circumstance likewise won after World War II, when the U.S. asserted in the undervaluation of the Deutsche imprint and yen to help German and Japanese recuperation. Be that as it may, American pioneers of the 1920s weren't happy to acknowledge this result. In 1921 and 1923, they raised duties, ending a concise analysis with more liberated exchange embraced after the appointment of 1912. The world owed the United States billions of dollars, yet the world would need to discover another method for gaining that cash than offering products to the United States. That way was discovered: more obligation, particularly increasingly German obligation. The 1923 hyper-expansion that cleared out Germany's savers additionally cleaned up the nation's asset report. Post-expansion Germany resembled a financially sound borrower. Somewhere in the range of 1924 and 1930, world money related streams could be rearranged into a daisy chain of obligation. Germans obtained from Americans and utilized the returns to pay reparations to the Belgians and French. The French and Belgians, thusly, reimbursed war obligations to the British and Americans. The British at that point utilized their French and Italian obligation instalments to reimburse the United States, who set the entire insane contraption moving once more. Everyone could see the framework was insane. Just the United States could fix it. It never did. Diminish Heather, the incomparable British history specialist of Late Antiquity, clarifies human fiascoes with a colloquialism of his father's, a mining engineer: "If man gathers enough ignitable material, God will give the sparkle." So it occurred in 1929. The Deluge that had immersed the remainder of the created world thundered back upon the United States. The Great Depression toppled parliamentary governments all through Europe and the Americas. However, the tyrannies that supplanted them were not, as Tooze underscores in The Wages of Destruction, reactionary absolutisms of the sort restored in Europe after Napoleon. These despots sought to be modernizers, and none more so than Adolf Hitler. "The United States has the Earth, and Germany needs it." Thus may Hitler's war points have been summarized by a contemporary Woodrow Wilson. From the beginning, the United States was Hitler's definitive objective. "In looking to clarify the direness of Hitler's animosity, history specialists have thought little of his intense familiarity with the risk presented to Germany, alongside the remainder of the European powers, by the rise of the United States as the prevailing worldwide superpower," Tooze composes. "The innovation of National Socialism was that, instead of quietly tolerating a spot for Germany inside a worldwide financial request overwhelmed by the wealthy English-talking nations, Hitler tried to prepare the repressed disappointments of his populace to mount an epic test to this request." obviously, Hitler was not occupied with normal figuring. He was unable to acknowledge subjection to the United States in light of the fact that, as indicated by his shocking distrustfulness, "this would bring about subjugation to the world Jewish intrigue, and at last race passing." He longed for vanquishing Poland, Ukraine, and Russia as a method for picking up the assets to coordinate those of the United States. The huge scene in the middle of Berlin and Moscow would turn into Germany's likeness the American west, loaded up with German homesteaders living serenely ashore and work appropriated from vanquished people groups—a bad dream satire of the American involvement in which to challenge American power. Could this vision have ever been figured it out? Tooze contends in The Wages of Destruction that Germany had just botched its opportunity. "In 1870, at the hour of German national unification, the number of inhabitants in the United States and Germany was generally equivalent and the complete yield of America, regardless of its tremendous plenitude of land and assets, was only 33% bigger than that of Germany," he composes. "Not long before the flare-up of World War I the American economy had extended to generally double the size of that of Imperial Germany. By 1943, preceding the flying siege had hit top rigging, absolute American yield was right around multiple times that of the Third Reich." Germany was a more vulnerable and more unfortunate nation in 1939 than it had been in 1914. Contrasted and Britain, not to mention the United States, it came up short on the essential components of innovation: There were only 486,000 autos in Germany in 1932, and one-fourth of all Germans despite everything functioned as ranchers starting at 1925. However this regressive land, with a pay for every capita practically identical to contemporary "South Africa, Iran and Tunisia," bet on a subsequent universal war significantly more nervy than the first. The wild edginess of Hitler's war gives setting to the horrendous wrongdoings of his system. Hitler's realm couldn't take care of itself, so his intrusion plan for the Soviet Union considered the demise by starvation of 20 to 30 million Soviet urban inhabitants after the trespassers took all groceries for their own utilization. Germany needed specialists, so it ravaged the work of its vanquished people groups. By 1944, outsiders comprised 20 per cent of the German workforce and 33 per cent of combat hardware labourers (under 9 per cent of the number of inhabitants in the present liberal and multicultural Germany is remotely conceived). On paper, the Nazi domain of 1942 spoke to a significant monetary coalition. However, loot and servitude are not useful bases for a modern economy. Under German guideline, the yield of vanquished Europe crumbled. The Hitlerian vision of an assembled German-drove Eurasia approaching the Anglo-American alliance demonstrated a crazed and destructive dream. Tooze's story closes where our cutting edge time begins: with the coming of another European request—liberal, majority rule, and under American insurance. However, nothing keeps going forever. The establishment of this request was America's ascent to extraordinary financial prevalence a century back. That transcendence is presently reaching a conclusion as China does what the Soviet Union and Imperial Germany never could: ascend toward monetary equality with the United States. That equality has not, actually, yet showed up, and the most practical measures recommend that the snapshot of equality won't show up until the later 2020s. Maybe some unanticipated disturbance in the Chinese economy—or some sudden quickening of American thriving—will defer the minute much further. Be that as it may, it is coming, and when it does, the crucial premise of politically influential nation governmental issues in the course of recent years will have been evacuated. Exactly how huge and perilous a change that is destined to be is the most profound subject of Adam Tooze's significant and splendid great story. Read the full article

(I can’t find the other two asks connected to this which is a tragedy bc this fragment is a Gem)

chaoswolf1982 said: I am sooooo tempted to headcanon that EU is one of the places where citizens from Night Vale attend for higher education, but due to NV's own innate weirdnesses, those who've attended find absolutely nothing unusual or strange about the place, it being equivalent to them as being a quiet and plain small-town college. A good math program, decent arts scholarship, but nothing particularly stands out about it.

scarymaryanne said: OHMYGOD I'm in love with Elsewhere Uni! Just thinking about the RAs and how far they are willing/allowed to go to keep their students from getting nabbed. Like a rota for who rings the bells at dawn and dusk and no one will ever skip that duty, not again. And watching for signs of who might get taken. You can't foil them all the time cos they get mad but that tiny dance major on your floor is TOO fragile to revel with the Gentry and you will camp outside their door with salt and iron and the RAs who go in at the end of the year to get back those who were taken spend all year hoarding favours and gifts to use to get people out. They keep the crows sweet because while they would never, ever spy on the Fair Folk they've been known to drop tidbits of information and gossip that come in handy. They're the silver tongued English and Poli-sci majors who know exactly how to wheedle those who were taken back home

thecommrade said: EU idea. That one kid that everything seems to revolve around them. Are they the ring master? Are they a fae? Do they have forbidden dark magic? Nobody really knows. They're honestly too crazy to get a straight answers from them. Its always some cryptic poem of nonsense.

themarginalthinker said: They slide their notebook towards you. "I won't bite, promise!" You look down at the offering, the bullet points and neatly written summaries of the professor's lecture. Though sleep-deprived you are, pull away, sudden sickening realization of what you've done. They're smiling again, and there's something pinched between their fingers - a single hair. You'd taken their offer. They took their due. You don't acknowledge them day after next. Their eyes don't match. You know that hair color. You try to get your bearings on what's going on in class, not paying a whole lot of attention to the new student. Who is paying a lot of attention to you. "Bad week, huh?" They ask. You nod absently, suddenly realizing you don't know anyone really well in this class enough to ask for notes. Damn it..."Want to see mine?" The new student asks. You look over, finally - they seem friendly enough, an why not. Their eyes do not match. "Um..." You hesitate. They smile and /their eyes do not match/.

roseverdict said: headcanon: EU's school song rings a little longer, a bit louder, at home games. and in dorms. and honestly it's always playing just out of hearing range for the upperclassmen but the freshmen are freaking out that there's the song aLWAYS GOING-

solongraggedydoctor said: Elsewhere university. Their are three distinct types of non believers who attend. All three arrive unaware of the far world type 1) rapidly changes their views on the world, and accept and believe. Type 2) they willingly follow the rules, as they've seen what happens otherwise, but they say they don't believe, if just so if it turns out to be a joke they don't look stupid, they get got a few times. Type 3) they outright deny, and oddly, no matter what they do, nothing happens ... And oddly, no matter what they do, nothing ever happens to them. They show disrespect, follow none of the fae rules, and are still left alone, but then, towards the end of their final year, they kinda just seem to disappear, and no one really seems to remember where they went, and even years after the fact, no one you know has had any kind of contact with type 3, other than rumours that they moved away, and did something unnoteworthy.

las-lus said: About elsewhere university: Kids who dont notice time running slower because "fuck, isnt this how it usually runs in calculus' class?". Kids who Starr drawing weird shit on their notebooks and their friends dont know if its from that weird geometry class, if they started a new drawing style of If they've been abducted. Im majoring in physics and really I cant stop thinking How hard would It be for us to notice If our friends had been taken

kass-king-of-sass said: Hi, just wanted to say your stuff for elsewhere university is amazing. I don't know if you're still accepting stuff and I've never submitted an ask like this before but here goes. I've been imagining mischievous or angered fae living in residence halls and playing tricks on the inhabitants. Pulling the fire alarm at 2 am, locking people out of their rooms, messing with the thermostats, burning food in the microwaves, things like that. All the hallmarks of a bad roommate but with a fae twist.

Anon said: There are certain alleys on campus that, on some nights, lead to faerie pavilions. If you bring them an offering, the fair folk will let you dance with them and will not harm you as long as you don't eat the food and leave before dawn.

Anon said: Oh, oh! I'm an interior design/architect student! Just imagining all the little tricks of the eyes that you could learn from the fae and then implement in human design is so exciting!

Anon said: sorry im sure youre getting a veritable INFLUX these days but imagine: student at Elsewhere whose parents' expectations have guided them into med/law/some other 'esteemed' course but theyre secretly into/good at art or singing or something. the fae would have such good sport luring them away after they sang under their breath in the wrong part of campus or one of their pages of doodling got blown in the breeze out of the window :3:3

Anon said: A freshman who lives off campus in her own apartment but Knows more than any other freshman or off campus student. She smiles and speaks carefully eyes always watching she goes by a name that's familiar to some until one night at a party she challenges one of Them to a game of 21. She drops 2 pictures on the table one of 2 girls a younger her and dark haired girl with a duffle bag in her hands and the other is of the dark haired girl with a boy who has empty eyes. "I want to see my sister again"

Anon said: In the end, it turns out she was never any different from you. She just happens to be from Iceland, just happened to have grown up with Gentry in her garden and the sea in her back yard. The one place where one lives with Them in the mountains, the one place where even the government respect Them. She never needed salt, she had hemmed her skirts with rocks and painted her nails with volcanic ashes. You conclude that international students can be just as foreign as the Fae (3/3)

Anon said: A student invested in geopolitics strikes a deal; "Give me the power to stop the corporate damming and I'll make sure no human ever nears the Nile". After all, the fae doesn't care whether their actions hurt the humans, and the student now posses unprecedented bargaining chip against at least four different governments

My agent often submits manuscripts from multiple clients to the same editor at once (sometimes same day). Since us clients are friends we've figured this out. Once I had an R&R with an editor. While he was considering my revision, my agent subbed another clients' MS to him. That client got a deal. I got a pass. I just found out this happened again. I'd like to hear from you if this is a common practice (subbing multiple clients to the same editor) or if I need to have a chat with my agent. Thx!

Well. I don’t know your agent, so I can’t say what their motives are. But I’ll tell you what *I* do:

I craft my submission lists bearing in mind both who would be the best AND what else I have with a given editor. And I TRY not to sub multiple projects to them at the same time. I have a big spreadsheet where I can see who has what, so I am not overloading one editor with projects, and so I will not be competing with myself, etc.

But... sometimes they really are the best fit for both at a house - like, maybe they are the ONLY editor that does picture books (or whatever)... Or they have one ms, but then they hear me talk about the second one and request it... Or they are so super slow that if I had to wait for them to pass on one before sending another, we’d be in Rip Van Winkle territory... Or they have one ms, but then they put out a call on twitter for x-kind of story, and HEY, that’s ms 2, so....

That being said, I do try and space it out, so that if an editor does happen to have two of my mss at the same time, hopefully there have been several weeks or better yet months in between the two submissions, AND presumably it is all well-chosen and obviously targeted to them -- so it’s not like “HEY you exist so I am throwing a buncha stuff at ya!” -- I’ve never had an editor balk at this, they know I am being thoughtful about what I send them.

As for the second part -- it’s tempting to imagine the worst, and be frustrated (like, hey that author got a book deal that shoulda been mine!) -- but, unless the books were ridiculously similar in the first place (ie, two bios of George Washington or something), I would guard against drawing that conclusion. You have no idea what else the editor was considering, or what factors with into their decision. You do know that your ms was not quite a fit to begin with (hence the R+R)... so maybe they just *didn’t like it enough*, and that’s OK. It happens. It has no bearing on what they DID decide to buy.

If anything, you MIGHT draw the conclusion that your agent really does know what they are doing -- they obviously know this editor’s taste well enough to get a (pretty rare) R+R on one ms and an offer on another!

Anyway, again, I have no idea if your agent is great or sucky or what. Submitting on the same day MIGHT be weird, but for all I know, that’s because they just met that editor at ALA or something, and the editor REQUESTED that material. In which case... not weird at all.

As always, if you have concerns about what your agent is doing, you should talk to them. But also, for you AND your friends, remember the old elementary school rule: Keep your eyes on your own paper.

My Monday Daily Blessings

May 8, 2017

Be still quiet your heart and mind, the LORD is here, loving you talking to you...........

Monday of the Third Week of Easter (Roman Rite Calendar)

First Reading: Acts 11:1-18

The Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him, saying, 'You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them." Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying, "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me.

Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky. I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.' But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.' This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky. Just then three men appeared at the house where we were, who had been sent to me from Caesarea. The Spirit told me to accompany them without discriminating. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house. He related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, saying,

'Send someone to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter, who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.'

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning, and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, 'John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?" When they heard this, they stopped objecting and glorified God, saying, "God has then granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too."

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 42:2-3; 43:3, 4

"Athirst for my soul for the living GOD."

Verse before the Gospel: John 10:14

Alleluia, Alleluia

"I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me."

Alleluia, Allelluia

Gospel: John 10:11-18

Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.

These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father."

**Meditation:

Do you listen attentively to the voice of the Good Shepherd and obey his word? Do you know the peace and security of the Good Shepherd who watches over his own? The Old Testament often speaks of God as shepherd of his people, Israel. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! (Psalm 80:1) We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3). The Messiah is also pictured as the shepherd of God's people: He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arms (Isaiah 40:11). Jesus says he is the Good Shepherd who will risk his life to seek out and save the stray sheep (Matthew 18:12, Luke 15:4). He is the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls (1 Peter 2:25).

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and Guardian of our souls Jesus made three promises to his followers. He promised them everlasting life. If they accept him and follow him, they will have the life of God in them. Jesus also promised them a life that would know no end. Death would not be the end but the beginning; they would know the glory of indestructible life. Jesus promised a life that was secure. Jesus said that nothing would snatch them out of his hand, not even sorrow and death, since he is everlasting life itself. Our lives are safe in his hands.

Do you listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd who calls you to himself? The words which Jesus spoke upset many of the Jewish leaders. How could he speak with the same authority which God spoke and claim to be equal with God? He must either be insane or divine. Unfortunately some thought he was mad even though he cured a man who was blind from birth. We are faced with the same choice. Either Jesus is who he claims to be - the Son of God and Savior of the world - or the world's greatest deluder! We cannot be indifferent to his claim. For those who accept him as Lord and Savior he offers the peace and security of unending life and joy with God. Do you know the peace and security of a life fully submitted to Christ?

Cyril of Alexander, a 5th century church father comments on Jesus as our Good Shepherd:

"He shows in what manner a shepherd may be proved good; and He teaches that he must be prepared to give up his life fighting in defense of his sheep, which was fulfilled in Christ. For man has departed from the love of God, and fallen into sin, and because of this was, I say, excluded from the divine abode of paradise, and when he was weakened by that disaster, he yielded to the devil tempting him to sin, and death following that sin he became the prey of fierce and ravenous wolves. But after Christ was announced as the True Shepherd of all men, He laid down his life for us (1 John 3:16), fighting for us against that pack of inhuman beasts. "He bore the Cross for us, that by His own death he might destroy death. He was condemned for us, that He might deliver all of us from the sentence of punishment: the tyranny of sin being overthrown by our faith: fastening to the Cross the decree that stood against us, as it is written (Colossians 2:14). Therefore as the father of sin had as it were shut up the sheep in hell, giving them to death to feed on, as it is written in the psalms (Ps. Xlviii.16), He died for us as truly Good, and truly our Shepherd, so that the dark shadow of death driven away He might join us to the company of the blessed in heaven; and in exchange for abodes that lie far in the depths of the pit, and in the hidden places of the sea, grant us mansions in His Father’s House above. Because of this he says to us in another place: Fear not, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you a kingdom (Luke 12:32)."

Prayer:

"Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd who keeps watch over our lives. May I be ever attentive to your voice and submit fully to your wise rule for my life. Draw me near to you that I may always find peace and joy in your presence.”
