Strategic Project Management

Many discussions about project management overlook the significance of the crucial early choices that shape the project execution approach. Decisions such as employing Agile or Waterfall methodologies, or choosing between prefabrication and on-site assembly, may not alter the expected project output, but they can greatly affect the delivery process and the project’s likely success. There’s no…

do you have any particular thoughts regarding marcille being a half-elf? its interesting to me considering the fact that she seems self-conscious about being a half-elf, but denies it when its brought up

i remember marcille looking visibly uncomfortable over laios simply asking her how old she is, which i think the only reason she might feel nervous about this is because it might reveal her as a half-elf to him.

she's never corrected anybody whose called her an elf either.

never mind the circumstances of the reveal, in which thistle goes on about how half-elves are inferior and accusing her of wanting to become full blooded elf, she seemed particularly upset like he struck a nerve-

i wish the half-elf thing was built upon more. also, underrated marcille line:

okay so i revisited this sequence just to make sure I could back myself up and it's just... man. there's a lot going on.

the first reaction we get from Marcille is this huge panel that takes up half of the page

she is viscerally affected. flushing to the tips of her ears with the intensity of it. and we see it again, a few pages later

so it might seem like she's embarrassed about it and lying to herself, but... I really think it's just that Thistle is accidentally hitting sore spots. If you really look at what he says to get these reactions

"you'll live out your entire life [...] and die that way too"

"a hundred years from now, nobody will be there"

Hear me out. I think, if he stuck to harping on about her inferiority without bringing up how terrifyingly long-lived she is, she wouldn't have been as bothered. But right now, Thistle is accidentally hitting all the marks on Marcille's deepest fears-- and this is after the Winged Lion promised her that her dreams could come true in an extremely vulnerable moment, so it also hits her slightly guilty conscience as well.

I do truly believe that Marcille isn't bothered about being a half-elf the way that people assume she'd be bothered by it. To her, the biggest problem with being a half-elf is that it's isolating.

On one hand, it's not hard to imagine why she'd distance herself from elves in the west. A lot of them can clock her as a half-elf on sight, unlike other races, and therefore she's always branded with this weird stigma of being Othered -- I would even say that she considers herself lucky for being born outside of elven culture instead of having to grow up in it. I mean, just... look at the way elves talk about her.

Skipping past the uncomfortable implication of what 'not tolerating the existence' of half-elves would actually entail, this is incredibly fucking annoying. You can see why she wouldn't want to be around elves much. You see a lot of Marcille reacting badly here, but honestly, almost all of it can be attributed to her freaking out that her bluff completely failed. She's honestly more paying attention to Izutsumi's footsteps and trying to coordinate an opportunity to escape.

And in the end, you see her built-up frustration at being asked if she wants to be a full-blooded elf like 2-3 times in a row.

Yeah, yeah, "the lady doth protest too much," and all. But we know Marcille. We know that she's a lot more embarrassed and horrendously unconvincing when she's being prodded about something she's actually self-conscious about.

Moving onto the flipside of things, it might seem weird that she "pretends" to be a full elf around other races, but it's not really that strange if you think about it. Again, people are weird about her being infertile or whatever, and a lots of them don't even know much about what sets half-elves apart from everyone else. I mean, look at how uncomfortable Laios is just asking her about it

and look at how exasperated and resigned she looks

And like... she's right. Where would that come up in normal conversation? Why would she go out of her way to tell them? She's functionally a normal elf to other races anyway -- got the ears, the abnormally long "childhood", and the huge mana capacity. Unless it's directly relevant or important for people to know, I don't think it's all that strange or indicative of insecurity that she prefers not to bother with it.

(This combined with her sense of being an "outsider" to elf culture also explains why she thinks elf superiority is embarrassing. She sees the way elves treat short-lived races from the "outsider" perspective nonetheless, and thinks it's obnoxious; especially more so because she usually has to play the elf around short-lived races and deal with the reputation of arrogance that elves have built up.)

The sad thing is, this all means that... she doesn't actually fit in anywhere. She doesn't like going out West much because of how elves treat her. But she's also an outsider in the continents she was born in, treated like this exotic long-lived alien choosing to live among short-lived races for some reason. She is always an outsider, the Other, no matter where she goes. Add in the fact that she'll live longer than literally anyone she knows, and it's honestly kind of heartbreaking.

And I think that's the crux of it. Marcille really doesn't act like she's at all self-conscious about being a half-elf because of any feelings of inferiority or being half-made or whatever. She considers herself a perfectly legitimate being and might even, in some ways, consider herself superior to normal elves because she's not blind with elf supremacy or whatever. (And whatever "elven biases" she displays, all of them are born more out of the fact that she's kind of bad at conceptualizing how other races age and mature compared to herself, not that she actually considers herself better or more mature simply for being an elf.)

I think that whatever self-consciousness Marcille has about being a half-elf is, instead, related to terror and loneliness. The reminder that it ensures she'll never truly belong anywhere for the rest of her very long life. The reminder that, in truth, even she's not actually sure how old she is by other races' standards (hence the discomfort when asked how old she is). She doesn't want to not be a half elf, or be a full elf or full tall-man-- in her ideal world, she's still a half-elf. She just gets to live out her life at the same pace with the people she loves and doesn't have to say goodbye again and again and again until she dies.

and one last very important panel, right after Mithrun tells her that all her desires would be devoured

In her ideal world, she's still a half-elf and reality magically starts marching at her pace. But failing that, the second best thing is that she's still a half-elf-- but one who is able to accept reality and let go of her fear.

(But the rest of the story pans out the way it does because, to Marcille, taking reality apart and reshaping it was less scary than simply and fully reconciling with it.)

#asks #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #marcille donato #manga panel analysis #this is probably riddled with typos sorry #readmore cut bc it got long lmao #i ended up babbling about it bc it's such an important character detail to me #bc like... wow. she's so normal about it. she's literally just chilling. #the only thing that really bothers her is the material reality of it and how people treat her #the stereotypes the stigma etc. etc. #otherwise it just.. #literally doesn't factor into her criteria for self-worth at all #the basic truth is that marcille likes herself on a fundamental level #she's not plagued by a deep and festering self-loathing the way a lot of characters in her archetype are #she likes herself and is proud of her successes and accomplishments #its just that shes terrified of failure and can have *episodes* of self-loathing when she fucks up #but who doesn't yknow #i know its a very slight nuance that makes very little difference in how her 'overachiever' problems manifest but its there #the sword of abandonment issues that hangs over her head has nothing to do with her self-worth or self-esteem or meeting her own standards #it has to do with the fear of not living up to *other* people's expectations and not being useful enough to be worth keeping around #she's good enough for herself but she's always so so so scared that she's not good enough for other people #i wont say much about what ryoko kui is saying using this as an allegory for real world racial biases but #dungeon meshi's treatment of marcille's relationship with her being half-elf is so incredibly important to me because it gets it so right. #a trauma about inferiority or being a half-being isn't inherent to the experience of being 'of two worlds' at all #that's something that's unfairly drilled into people by their environment #the *inherent* anguish is the loneliness. the constant longing. the fact that you are always homesick no matter where you are #always just a little bit of an outsider and never fully at home #and dungeon meshi gets that. #edit: cleaned it up a little

I believe antis should be grateful Taehyung didn’t get any push in the US and didn’t get any kind of promotion there… Layover is already extremely successful and snatched so many records imagine what would’ve happened if he got us support

#also i will quickly say that thinking that the us is the only real criteria of success is weird #layover #taehyung

using my ptsd to my advantage to get a higher grade on a midterm💪💪💪

#this isn’t a vent i just know about ptsd #one of the questions was like. #‘ptsd affects what areas of life’ #and the answers were : sleep; relationships; success in the workplace; all of the above; none of the above #and i answered all of the above and i got marked WRONG #it said ONLY relationships #so i shot the professor an email like #‘hey one of the main criteria of ptsd is sleep disturbance and idk how something could affect relationships but not workplace success.’ #‘i have ptsd it certainly affects all of that for me’ #and she was like ‘yeah you’re right i’ll give you that point’ #there were 2 other questions like that that i pointed out and got the points back for

I WILL SAY IT ONCE MORE- THIS TIME ON TUMBLR SO HOPEFULLY PEOPLE HEAR ME (i cannot remember if this notion came from my own big fat brain or whether someone else blessed me with it, but either way i have sworn by it relentlessly)

if. you like women. you are trying to obtain a maiden. and you are incapable of wooing. please. read. a romance book. written. by a woman. ITS LITERALLY LIKE READING A GUIDE BOOK OF WHAT WOMEN WANT YOU TO DO. bonus points if it's a book that your maiden likes.

#and read a crap ton of em #you get a good gist of the criteria that way #also please dont be dumb and actually look up the reviews of the book first so that you can see more than just one woman appreciating it #youre more likely to be successful that way #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #jane austen #booklr #ya fantasy #sigh

ok everybody i have a request to make. please and thanks. suggest to me a movie or tv show that heavily features a fucked up blood-relation dynamic (i'm especially partial to siblings but like parent-kid or uncle/aunt-nibling or whatever else as long as there's blood relation is also cool) BUT do not tell who the characters involved are. xoxo

#not supernatural i already know about those bitches #rn i'm going to watch the bnha anime adaptation of the touya reveal bc i haven't yet but i have read it. so. #and then i think. turning red. bc my coworker says that one fits my criteria. and then. succession. #aka thee fucked up family show. though idk how much i will be able to stomach of that one. #there's a very famous book that i think will scratch the itch i wanna scratch but i don't think my brain will be able to take in a book rn #uhm. <3 love you all. #they speak!

i'm in hell

#^ girl who is still fucking dealing with the errors of my predecessor #and is getting pressure from everyone to finish this modeling quickly when it's :-) not fucking possible to do that #“can you give us a time estimate on when this will be done” idk can you give me any fucking criteria for success #like no i fucking can't estimate for you when this will be done because the task is unbelievably unclear!!! bitch i'll kill you #I HATE IT HERE!!! #anyways. this is a bad time to be on my period. #blondiepost

Deep writing asks: 1 & 11. 🐸☕

:D

1. what’s the fic youre most proud of?

boring answer but probably whipstitch! I haven't written anything I'm terribly proud of since that one ^^;

11. Has a fic you’ve written ever caused issues/controversy?

haha I don't know about controversy but whipstitch got its share of angry anons and off hesperus is (so far as I know) the only time ppl have felt compelled to not-so-vague post complaining about how a fic of mine (....that they hadn't read) was terrible and OOC. which i mostly find kind of funny tbh

deep fic writer asks

#deep writer asks #demenior #asked & answered #fics i'm proud of is sort of hard bc like really there are only...2-3 out of my 100+ that i'm actually /proud/ of #which is not to say that i don't /like/ others #but to be proud of them i have to be satisfied that they did what they set out to do at a certain level of success #and really only whipstitch/off hesperus/ofsaw meet that criteria

[transmalewife]

while succession is a strong contender for second best show ever made, compared to black sails the fandom is very much this

#i still think the title goes to atla. obviously it excels in very different criteria but when we’re discussing the medium of tv being used #to its full potential it’s these two shows. But yeah depending on how succession ends I might reconsider that #also might just be me curating my experience also the bs fandom has aged like a fine wine so we'll see about succession in 5 years #succession #black sails #mine.

People often ask what does success look like but I would suggest asking “what does success feel like?” is more apt

i think really, my previous post is like... if you’re having fun applying academic conventions to your fandom stuff, that’s great! 

But that’s not what everyone’s doing when they make fanworks, and ultimately I don’t think it’s massively fair to involve strangers’ work in your specifically academic-minded discussion, on the assumption that they’re trying to create something that is Good by the standards of your framework. Especially if you’re approaching it in a critical way. 

#ds9 #deep space nine #really this still doesn't summarise it properly because the issue has always been #people presuming that any fanwork they encounter is trying to be successful according to They. That Person's criteria #and not entertaining the idea that if a fanwork doesnt fit their framework it is not For Them and they can just leave alone #and they don't have to critique it and subsequently discourage people who won't/can't/don't want to meet those criteria #but unpacking that assumption is why i made a massive long post #if someone's 'projecting' or using overused tropes or buying into fanon or writing popular ships thats good! #that person is fanworking for their own creative reasons #and they are not fanworking to Please You #and you can in fact leave alone
