| This is probably the proudest ref I've ever fucking drawn tbh... I had to re-draw this lovely gal cuz her current re-design was a little off to me, and drawing her bust was absolutely fun so yeah that's happening... Anyways this is Amélie, or "Beaut" which is her celebrity name cuz she is in fact, a celebrity..
Also this would've been at least a month or two since I finished this when I do the mass post some time later.. So even though I'm proud of this now, wonder if that'll hold up til a couple months later when I get to the post spam..
Anyways- Amélie is another one of those old OCs of mine who's gone through massive changes, especially from when she was a fan character of another fandom I was semi into a few years ago... This is her now and honest to god, she's absolutely beautiful and I swear if anybody dares gives this post shit. I will massacre everyone and laugh while I do.

INFO
Name: Amélie
Species: Zarean
General Personality: Funny, outgoing, supportive, forgetful, self conscious, posh, vocally talented
Height: 15ft
Relationship Status: Single
Extra Info:
"Beaut the Beautiful" is her stage name she randomly made on a whim in a sudden panic for a 'label' one day, it's kind of just stuck with her since
She is known for a variety of skills and talents within the species; Singing, dancing, acting mainly in pantomimes, fashion model, online influencer, all sorts. And despite seemingly extroverted and overall social, she actually deals with a lot of social anxiety; So she has to do all sorts of breathing and mental exercises just to get out there
She came out trans to her family roughly when she was in her teens, although her family had somewhat mixed reactions, in the end they supported her and her goals. She was officially "herself" when she got famous
Growing up she starred and took part in many things; Talent shows, school plays, all kinds of after school activities and clubs along with other events and such town. So she really has quite the experience in a lot of fields, she worked hard to where she wanted to be
She actually worked retail and working part time in a library while she was juggling career driven events and such
She stylizes, sometimes even crafts her own outfits, wigs and occasionally even the events she hosts in like concerts and such. She also has a personal assistant who is totally not her best friend she met in college
She never acknowledges her dead name or anything with the only exception being her grandmother before she passed (Emile was her grandfather's name)
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
And that's it for her again, re-doing her ref was a good idea tbh because I'm really happy with how I drew Beaut here, definitely catches her type of likliness better than the previous "re-designs" I did of hers on separate occasions throughout the years I've been drawing and re-designing all my OCs... Would hope I keep at it for a long time but I feel that somehow isn't going to work forever.. I genuinely thought at one point that I'd get all my OCs fully re-done, sorted and all along with their worlds and whatnot then I can work with what I got there..
But I've noticed now that the whole of the Zarean species specifically, which I was working on off and on for like 9 or so years now, has to now be re-done completely cuz the lore was kinda all over the place without reasoning and that it just felt.. Wrong..
So yeah... I'll probably be dead by the time I actually finish any of this, I probably won't have started by the time I end up on my death bed tbh..
Especially when loads of my OCs haven't really been touched since like... Before I completely ditched DA a couple years ago.......... Oh well....-

My best friend went to a SF/F conference which was apparently spectacular, and where one of the (prestigious!) authors present liked his (my friend's) response so much that the author told my friend, "I'm going to be thinking about that all day."
Anyway, it seems there was also a panel on fanfic and its relation to speculative fiction, and although my friend neither reads nor writes fic, nor really "gets" it outside of osmosis from me, he went nevertheless and he ended up being deeply fascinated by something he couldn't remember the name of but was more about consolation than adhering to the typical norms of Western storytelling in terms of conflict etc.

Talking About the Poll Results
First, to get my housekeeping out of the way, it seems that 24-hour polls are kinda hit-or-miss with response numbers. I consider any poll with less than 100 votes to be a poor sample size, so this set of polls was kind of a bust.
Part of it might have been that a holiday just happened, so less people were probably inclined to check in on tumblr to see the poll, but due to that I probably should have extended the vote time. But I'm terrible with time and dates, so count on that being a mistake in the future. I guess I'm just gonna stick to week long polls after all...
Anyway, besides that, the results were about as expected. The majority of folks both believe in sibling 1010/father-son NJ/1010.
For Side A, while I was curious about which one would come out on top, I'm not surprised that Quintuplets won over Different Ages. But I do wonder how people that voted different ages thought their ages differed. The last 1010 poll results said that the majority of people put their programmed age in the 21-25 age bracket, so are these same people going by their programmed age, or their physical age? Because one of those is a lot harder to justify than the others, given that there's not a huge difference in personality/experience in that age bracket.
For Side B, I was very surprised that NO ONE voted for a friendly Neon J. Either he was their dad, nothing, or worse. I do think that having the visual of Neon J. commanding the factory that produces the 1010s has something to do with it. It would be difficult to separate the image of birth from the idea of parenthood (and brotherhood for that matter), so that's probably why. Still, while I'm not surprised that Father First, Manager Second won out, that somehow disappoints me. I'll fully admit that I'm a real stick in the mud about that one, but at least I learned that I'm not totally alone in the "Manager First" interpretation. It wasn't as close a call as other polls, but "Manager First, Father Second" was still the second most popular option.
