requests info/intro!

hi, everyone!

i thought i'd take a quick second to introduce myself and to also formally open up requests. i'm already working on a few things, but requests really do always help and feel free to submit them at any point--but, we'll get to all of that in a moment!

my name is lavinia, and i am a uni student studying both theatre (dramaturgy specifically) and creative writing! i love to sing, act, write (obviously haha), read (i am a huge fan of classic literature, as well as donna tartt, mona awad, sally rooney, elif bautman, and ottessa moshfegh's works), go to concerts, go to the movies, style/design clothing, paint, collect records/cds, and so much more! this barely scratches the surface really but, if any of you share these interests, always feel free to reach out!

I am mostly dedicated to OFMD right now, but you may also leave requests for other fandoms and I will keep them on file, or who knows, perhaps even get to them sooner than you may imagine! Have a wonderful day (or night!), and don't forget to request!

Secrets

Request: Yes or No

“You fall through the trees And you pray with your knees on the ground For the things that you need With your lust and your greed weighing down And you weaken your love And you hold it above your head Success is a song of the heart, not a song of your bed-”

(Y/N) slid off his headphones, eyes flickering between Callie and Gael. Callie blinked, giving a small smile. 

“Great, I’m stuck with the lovers.” (Y/N) mumbled, walking to his side of the room. Callie and Gael looked at each other, sighing softly.

“Actually-” “You two aren’t together anymore. Yeah, yeah.. That’s what they all say. It’ll be a matter of time before you’re back to fucking.” (Y/N) rolled his eyes, opening the can of paint. Gael cleared his throat.

“(Y/N) isn’t keen on talking. He takes care of that side and we can take care of this side.” Gael explained. Callie hummed and nodded, looking back at (Y/N). (Y/N) dipped the paint brush into the paint and looked over the wall. With a soft sigh, he slid his headphones back on and began to paint. The song blocked out the chatter coming from the two former fuckbuddies. (Y/N) continued to paint the wall, getting lost in it until he finished. He looked over the paint, wondering what the point was. The tenants barely used the room. It’d probably be turned into a storage room. (Y/N) sighed, pausing his music and sliding off his headphones. He glanced at the time and turned his head when Gael approached him.

“You’re pretty good. Have you painted before?” Gael asked, giving a small smile. (Y/N) blinked, brows furrowing ever so slightly.

“Anyone can paint.” (Y/N) replied. Gael gave a tight lipped smile and nodded, laughing softly.

“Yeah, you’re right.. Though, I can teach you some techniques I’ve learned over the years.” Gael said, reaching for (Y/N)’s hand. “Touch me and I’ll shove this paintbrush so far up your ass, you’ll taste paint for weeks.” (Y/N) threatened, putting the brush down and brushing past him. Gael blinked, watching him walk away. 

“He seems nice.” Callie said as the door slammed shut. Gael shrugged, sighing.

“He’s been like that forever. (Y/N) barely interacts with anyone and when he does, he’s cold. Barely any of us know anything about him. He eats in his room, keeps all his things in his room, leaves at night and comes in early in the morning. It’s like... He’s hiding from us.” Gael said, staring at the door. 

“Maybe he’s antisocial.. Some people don’t like to socialize or don’t know how to socialize.” Callie pointed out. 

“But aren’t you curious about him? Like where he works at? If he’s dating anyone?” Gael looked back at her. Callie raised her brows, her lips pulling into a small grin.

“Do you like him?” Callie asked, ignoring the soft sting of jealousy. Gael shook his head, chuckling. “Are you sure?” Callie tilted her head.

“The only one occupying my thoughts is Elijah.” Gael crossed his arms, smiling. Callie hummed. From the look in her eyes, Gael could tell she didn’t believe him one bit.

(Y/N) rummaged through the kitchen cabinets, something he rarely did. (Y/N) huffed, hearing Gael heading down the stairs. Gael blinked, surprised to see (Y/N). 

“Looking for something?” He asked. (Y/N) paused and looked at him, giving a fake smile. “No, I’m actually organizing everything in here. Wanna join?” (Y/N) asked. Gael rolled his eyes, leaning against the counter. 

“I was just asking in case I had whatever you need.. No need to be an ass.” Gael watched him. (Y/N) went back to searching. 

“If I needed your help, which I don’t and won’t ever need, I would ask.” (Y/N) said, finding the salt and shaking the container. (Y/N) huffed lightly, putting it back. “Not enough, I’m gonna have to go out and buy some.” (Y/N) sighed. Gael furrowed his brows, glancing at a tired looking Davia. 

“Why do you need so much salt?” Gael asked. 

“Cause I’m collecting.” (Y/N) replied.

“Jesus, can you give one answer without being an ass or being sarcastic?” Gael asked. Davia looked between them.

“This is the most I’ve ever heard edgelord talk, if I’m honest.” Davia mumbled before groaning softly and rubbing her face. “Fuck, I feel like shit.” Davia sighed. (Y/N) looked at her, arms crossing.

“Mentally or physically?” (Y/N) asked. Davia shrugged, sitting at the table and resting her head on her palm. (Y/N) sighed, tapping his foot.

“Want some tea?”

“What type?”

“What type do you want?” (Y/N) cocked a brow, tilting his head. Gael watched them interact, Callie and Mariana sitting at the table. 

“What are you? A tea hoarder?” Davia asked. (Y/N) shrugged and started walking away.

“Fine! Fine! Do you have any tea that will help me sleep?” Davia asked, sighing. (Y/N) stopped and looked at her, giving a small nod and continuing to his room. 

“Never took him as the tea type.” Mariana mumbled, looking at everyone else. Callie furrowed her brows, looking at her sister. 

“Tea type?” She repeated in a questioning tone. Mariana shrugged, glancing at her phone. (Y/N) returned, handing her some tea bags. 

“It’s chamomile tea. Take too much and you’ll vomit.” (Y/N) warned. Davia nodded, quietly thanking him and sighing. 

“Is anyone gonna make breakfast?” Davia groaned. Mariana and Callie shared a look before getting up and starting to make breakfast. Gael heard someone heading upstairs and turned his head, watching (Y/N). 

(Y/N) stepped out, heading over to the concrete railing and sitting. He leaned his back against the wall and stared down at the busy road below, watching the cars and people. He sighed, tilting his head back and shifting his gaze onto the sky. 

“Are you coming to Jazmin’s double quince?” (Y/N) turned his head, looking at Gael and furrowing his brows, a slight frown tugging at his lips.

“What?” He crossed his arms, staring at him. “I wasn’t invited.” 

“Well, consider yourself invited.” Gael shrugged. (Y/N) looked away from him, a huff leaving him.

“Why? We’re not friends and I’ve never met your sister.” (Y/N) pointed out, fingers drumming against the sleeve of his black jacket. Gael leaned against the concrete, looking at him and sighing. 

“We could be friends if you just.. Opened up more.” Gael stared at him. (Y/N) scoffed and shook his head. 

“I don’t have anything fancy in my closet.” (Y/N) mumbled, hopping off and stuffing his hands into his pockets, feeling Gael’s eyes burning into his back. (Y/N) headed back downstairs, heading to his loft and entering. He sighed softly, getting some water and watering his plants. He looked at one of his empty shelves.

“I should head over to Diana’s place.. Need some new books.” (Y/N) mumbled, walking to his desk and opening a drawer, making sure the crystals were separated. He closed the drawer and got his phone, leaving his loft and closing the door. (Y/N) walked towards the doors and going to the elevator. He sighed softly, stepping into the elevator and watching the doors close. He heard his phone ding and looked at the message.

Alice K (Landlord?)

What size in pants and shirt are you?

(Y/N)’s brows furrowed, tilting his head as he stared at the words. 

Me

What?

Alice K (Landlord?)

Just curious

(Y/N) blinked a few times, stepping out of the elevator. Alice only ever texted him about rent and the toilet paper situation. (Y/N) texted her the sizes, wondering what the hell Alice was up to or who the hell put her up to it. (Y/N) shook his head, walking down the sidewalk and putting on his headphones. He pressed play and put his phone in his pocket.

You should've got a better bed Better for your head Better heads need shut eye

We have long followed the rise of Roye Okupe’s YouNeek Studios, from its early start with E.X.O.: The Legend of Wale Williams to Malika: Warrior Queen and beyond. Like many new series, the “beyond” part is an achievement, the type of landmark that notes a body of work deep enough to intertwine stories and characters. Just like that, Okupe’s YouNeek Studios has created a universe in no small part thanks to Kickstarter and the books’ growing supporters. We spoke with Okupe about his journey of building his own comic book universe and the future of YouNeek Studios.

Black Nerd Problems: How many years have YouNeek Studios participated in Free Comic Book Day, and have you found it to be useful in reaching a new audience of readers?

Roye Okupe: We’ve participated in Diamond’s Free Comic Book Day since 2017. So, 3 years in a row. It’s been an amazing way for us to bring new readers into the YouNeek YouNiverse. I’ve had people personally walk up to me at events and say, “I don’t know where, but I’ve seen your work before.” Most of the time, they are referring to one of our Free Comic Book Day titles.

BNP: So Free Comic Book Day has definitely served its purpose, exposing new fans to your finished work. Much of the excitement early on came from an animated short you made in promotion of E.X.O., which continued later with another animation for Malika. Can you describe the process for creating animated short films? How long does one typically take to create, and what’s been your biggest surprise in making them?

R.O.: Creating an animated film can be a very lengthy process with so many moving parts, even if you’re just doing a short (14 minutes) like we’re doing for our award-winning graphic novel Malika: Warrior Queen. Animation, at a high-level, is broken into 3 major parts: pre-production, production, and post-production. Pre-production consists of everything you do before animating a single frame: so things like scriptwriting, voice recording, character design, concept art/visual development, storyboards, animatics, and so on. Production is when you actually get to animate. More often than not, the animators will work on a storyboard or animatic that has been finalized. Post-production is when you start to finalize everything: so things like sound design, music/score, editing, and color grading. How long really depends on a whole lot of factors (budget, quality, personnel, complexity). I would say my biggest surprise is that no matter how many times you do this, it never really gets easier.

Imagine:

Finding out Gael, your boyfriend, has been sleeping with someone else

Request: Yes or No

You gave Alice a smile, entering the complex.

"Gael is in his room." She said before hurrying out to run errands per usual. You chuckled and headed up to the rooftop where Gael's room resided, stepping out and glancing at the pool before looking at the glass doors and stopping. Gael was locked in a heated makeout session with some chick. You quickly turned around and heading downstairs but were stopped by Malika.

"Hey, boo! Haven't seen you in- What's wrong?" She asked, seeing your watering eyes.

"Did you know that Gael was hooking up with someone?"

"What?! Of course not! I would've given him a piece of my mind. I'll go up there and fuck him up." You quickly stopped her, knowing Malika would've definitely fought Gael.

"No, no, no.. I don't want you guys having beef or anything." You said, wiping your tears away. Two years down the drain just like that. You knew Gael was a playboy but you thought he was loyal once he was in a relationship.

"When you fuck with my friend, we always gonna have beef." Malika said, sneering at the thought of Gael hurting you.

"Come, we're gonna confront him."

"Mal, wait!" You sighed, letting her drag you up the stairs and onto the rooftop. Malika quickly thrusted open the doors, letting out a fake laugh as Gael and the chick jumped apart.

"So, we fucking other tenants now?" Malika questioned as Gael's eyes instantly went to you.

"Baby-"

"Baby?" The girl repeated, eyes widening as she looked between the two.

"Scram, Callie, we're trying to have a talk." Malika sneered, watching Callie quickly gather her things and leave. You watched Gael try to come with an excuse before shaking your head.

"Gael, just stop... I knew our relationship was starting to fall apart but I really thought that you wanted to save it. I'm sorry if I stopped you from having fun with others." You shrugged, looking at Malika.

"And, it seems like you want a break up, so, that's exactly what you're getting." Gael opened his mouth to protest but Malika shushed him and grabbed your hands.

"I'll fuck you up if you even come near (Y/N) again, alright?" She barked before grabbing you and leaving the room.

Gifs aren't mine.
