transferable skills

jerejean / 11k / rated E

[post canon idiots to lovers ft. jean moreau’s self actualisation journey via various hobbies and jeremy knox’s yummy combo of hand + competency kink]

It’s the way Jean watches his own hands as he guides the thread through the paper, pulling the gathering tight to the spine. It’s the way Jean bends, strong and handsome, over a tiny embroidery hoop to get the details exactly right. Jeremy Knox is supposed to be spending his senior year worrying about what comes next. Instead, he’s mesmerized as he watches each stitch come to life and finds, there in between the threads, something completely unexpected.

i’m a wee bit late to the @aftgthenandnow reveals party 🥲 but the jerejean with the neat wordcount, all the craft hobbies, the unnecessarily sad jeremy backstory, and the hand kink (everything-about-jean-moreau kink? you decide) was indeed mine!! 🧡 written for @alcego’s incredible prompt, with lots of help from @fluxweeed, to whom i owe at least eleven thousand baked goods!

More visuals no one asked for

So, the fic is nearly ready: can you guess where it is going? :-D

My Bachelor of Fine Arts finally arrived at my house!

It only took them a year to send it!

I graduated Dec 18th 2021!

But that doesn’t mean I don’t have experience and I’m tired of people thinking of me as fresh meat!

I owned my own Business since I turned 13! I have been doing Graphic Design for 23 years! Bettering myself and obtaining a Bachelor’s degree doesn’t erase my previous life and my transferable skills.

Skills are transferable and can be used to do anything you put your mind to! If you cannot understand that, then you need to just walk away.

I will be continuing to do my own thing, even when I do find stable work! It simply moves around my priorities!

However, you must know that money talks. Meaning which ever job offers me the most buck for my bang, gets the highest priority and it goes down hill from there!

My happiness is my priority and if I feel like the job isn’t a right fit, I will decline the job.

I am done suffering for others. I will struggle for my own ambitions but I won’t struggle for a job I hate.

Treat your people better and pay them their worth. You will go far!

I had a college roommate who could sew. One day she cut her hand. It was deep enough that she knew she required stitches.

So, rather than take advantage of the student health center on campus, she sterilized a needle and sewed it up herself.

She was very proud of her neat little scar.

my favorite example of transferable skills in fiction regardless of how realistic it is are people who work with textiles (sewing, tailoring, etc.) being asked to help stitch a wound or perform surgery. oh you can mend a hole in a shirt? mend a hole in this guy then. it's basically the same thing just with more blood and screaming.

It turns out I am capable of talking about it but real people the way I talk about fictional ones

On Weird Transferable Skills (TM) tonight, we feature:

Jordan, trying to figure out if the vacuum hose is clogged. He’s goofing off, and blows through it, as if it’s a horn.

My band kid ears immediately identify: STILL CLOGGED.

“How can you tell?”

“It sounds muted.”

I was correct.

Crafting the Perfect CV: Meeting Specific Application Requirements

Ever faced job applications with stringent criteria like listing every role from the past five years, complete with reasons for leaving? It's not just a test of memory but an opportunity to shine.

The art of crafting the perfect CV is more than just listing qualifications and experiences. Especially when job postings have specific requirements, like detailed employment histories. While this may seem tedious, it’s an opportunity to showcase adaptability, depth, and the ability to follow instructions precisely. Navigating the intricate requirements of job applications can be daunting. When…

I swear all I wanted was a drabble where 

THE WINCHESTERS: stare at a <two-dimensional drawing> in confusion.

CROWLREY: It's supposed to be assembled into a <three-dimensional object>.

THE WINCHESTERS: How could you possibly see the <three-dimensional object> in this <two-dimensional drawing>?

CROWLEY: Don't you know I used to be a tailor?

Of course, my story went completely sideways, so I would still really like to read a fic about how Crowley might have been a shitty human being, but was good at his job even back then.

No, I don't have a competence kink, I just dislike incompetence :-P

Meanwhile, astounding sartorial discoveries I made while writing said fic:

Lady Saigyouji and her faithful gardener.

I love your depiction of Hamilton and Lafayette, it’s so funny! Lafayette is so sweet and happy and Hamilton just has beef w/ the entire world. I can’t wait to see more of their brotherly relations in ur AMAZING art style

God, they're so narrative foil coded

Seriously though, there's some fantastic contrast between them. They're just similar enough (both roughly the same age, both insecure and glory hungry, + their "shared father" or whatever Lafayette said) - and yet they manage to be exact opposites at the same time.

I could say more but I think this bit from Mike Duncan's biography about Lafayette basically gets at what I'm trying to say:

"Like Lafayette, Hamilton grew up without a father. He also lost his mother to a fatal illness at almost the same age Lafayette lost his. But where the tragedies of Lafayette’s childhood made him the heir of a fabulous fortune, the tragedies of Hamilton’s illegitimate childhood left him systematically cut out of his family’s inheritance. So where the dark clouds of Lafayette’s life were lined with silver, the dark clouds of Hamilton’s life were simply dark. Lafayette emerged from childhood buoyant and effusive, Hamilton cynical and reticent. But even though Hamilton started life a penniless bastard on the periphery of European civilization, and Lafayette started life an insanely wealthy heir in the heart of a great kingdom, they fell into an easy friendship. French was not the only language the two young men shared. The also shared a code of personal honor and a desire to prove themselves to the world." -Mike Duncan, Hero of Two Worlds, The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution

Now, I am not qualified to speak on the real figures, but I do like to write. So, there is a narrative opportunity here that drives me insane.

Like, cast Hamilton as brilliant, but overly cynical with a habit of assuming the worst in people, and give him a negative character arc where he comes close to recognizing the potential good of humanity but ultimately falls into his more authoritarian tendencies. Then contrast him with Lafayette who's more naive. He's not quite sheltered but unfamiliar with the sort of selfishness and greed he'd have encountered if he grew up in a more vulnerable financial position. In coming to America he, like Hamilton, is forced to reckon with contempt, greed, and the failings of democratic government. But, unlike Hamilton, still manages to come out of it with a generally positive opinion of humanity.

I'm just saying, if I were writing history to contain ✨themes ✨ they are a perfect opportunity.
