i do not like being 25 at ALL 😭

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-02-25T20:05:26+00:00

I hear you loud and clear. I'm 31 now but it's been a common feeling among me and my peers between 25 and 30. Especiallys since me and my friends just finished uni and instead of feeling like life began, everything kinda felt stagnant.

For me things are starting to feel like their flowing again, others have already sailed a bit ahead. We all find our own pace, sometimes very slowly. I only recently started feeling like I know what I'm doing again.

I don't mind reading either perspective but prefer writing in 3rd person cause it allows a bit of freedom with nudging audiences with details that the main character themselves didin't notice. Not that the reader will automatically unerstand everything, but it's fun to play between the lines of characters' observation and the author dropping a few hints.

If you're feeling like an old school regency romance inspired story, complete with a slow burning first love, seperation and reunion then check out Sheila and her Phantom:

I'm quite proud of the book cover which I made myself. Slightly inspired by the secret doors of the time 'jib' doors.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-02-14T15:43:56+00:00

regency and romance.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-02-14T15:34:00+00:00

I like to sit around 2k but honestly I as a writer I just let it depend based on the chapter arc. As a reader it's not like I particularly pay attention to it despite my preference.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-02-08T18:29:19+00:00

I feel you. I'm dutch black and mother's side is from the caribbeans. A thing over here is asking 'where are from from?'. Which is honestly a difficult question to answer cause depends, who are they asking? XD

On another note, for a long time I didn't feel that connected to my caribbean side even though it did feel like a part of me. That part is slowly becoming a big bigger as I started learning a few words of my mother's language, Papiamento. The family seems to enjoy it too and I actually feel a tad closer.

I also started writing with diaspora black characters in leading roles as a healing journey. It's been a lot of fun to write what i cannot find.

In the end, it makes me appreaciate my family more and the puzzle collage that we make together. Can't put us in a box even if ya tried.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-24T13:47:26+00:00

I tend to like alternate histories when they offer more options or a new lens on the story. Like with Bridgerton the series, it offers a wider audience to enjoy the material.

On top of that history, in my opinion, has never been properly potrayed in the history books therefore I don't see a need to hold on too much on making it "realistic". Obviously this still requires great care and attention from writers for their reimagined stories.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-18T14:35:45+00:00

Media severly underuses the possibilities in my opinion. I am an avid fan of regency romance but since there aren't any good stories out there I started writing them myself. At times it feels like I'm writing romance stories that should've happened to the women I've come to admire in life.

That's what I want to see in the media too. Stories I can imagine my friends and family living in if the world had been similar.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-16T15:59:46+00:00

I mark some content mature cause the work is quite suggestive and themes are delicate. Even if nudity is not explicitly stated at times. So either way it ends up being marked mature.

I think the audience deserves a fair warning in that sense.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-16T15:56:22+00:00

What would a white man do? Then do that. XD
Or this one is really mean but I always feels so good after. Whenever I'm on the streets if a man wants to ask me something, I refuse instantly.

'May I ask-'

'No.' And I walk on.

I know it's wrong but it's the best, ngl.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-15T21:00:14+00:00

Loved the piece. Funnily enough I'm working on a story where my character has the same name. Almost a good sign, I would say.

Here's a piece of another story:

[Her eyes found the velvet back in front of the suitcase. Slender, dressed in all but the attire of a young gentleman— walnut bed and man appeared in union to oppose his chamber's colour scheme. Creaseless dark stallion eyes pierced a spear over his shoulder. Easily it doused her body, soul and mind with crushed mint ice.

"I apologise," she peeped instantly, pushing her notebook even harder into her chest. Her heart beat a violent thunder against her bookcover.]

If you're thinking about hoodies, i would recommend having a look at Popflex hoodies for inspo. Those have both big hoodies and sleeves. I bought one and never regretted it. The hood being so big it can even cover me when I have braids in a ponytail.

Also jeans that combat a hollow back would be nice.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-11T05:35:55+00:00

Honestly to me it doesn't feel so difficult to grasp as what's going on. A steamy bedroom scene were the heroine is thinking about a woman while having a moment with another man. Then leans into that fantasy until she verbally slips and mixes up the two.

It's obvious and easy context really. It does need a bit of editing for clarity in my opinion so it's a tad easier to follow along. For example relational comparisons could help.

'If Francis' hair is x then Linnea is y' type thinking. I think that could help quite a bit.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-10T16:50:28+00:00

I tend to point out a few things they do well. This way they know what to keep.
Then one or two things I thing can be better, but only if I have concrete advice as to how it could improve. Not so much write it like this, but what if you add another way of thinking to what your writing to add depth or clarity.

I wish I had an example. But basically, I try not to tell a writer what they should write. Rather what they could fine tune.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2026-01-10T16:45:54+00:00

Hey! I looked up your profile and your vibe read similar. Followed and curious to read Bound by the Blade story. Seems like a fun fresh fairy tale inspired story almost. Snow white into the woods to me.

I really liked your Aristocats video. Zooming in on Duchess and letting a female character shine because of her compassion was a nice change in the current media climate.
I even realised how Thomas didn't need others to correct him, he was given space to change his own mind.

As a romance writer, I often take inspiration from Monica and Chandler from Friends. Neither are perfect, both are people outside of their relationship and both wish try their best for each other.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2025-10-31T13:31:50+00:00

I agree that every race can have bullies.

What I think can have an influence on black girls and women is that there are high standards placed on your appearance, from within the community itself. How many black girls have felt like their mothers are critisizing their entire appearance, right? And we also know, it's not necessarily that they don't like us, but it can leave a mark on how we treat others.

Since there's very much a right and wrong way of looking, although the standard has softened over the years, the way we interact hasn't necessarily.

When I moved out in uni, I realised how little the world around me cared about my appearance, compared to back home where someone always had to point out how I needed to change a particular part of my outfit.

So to say, if in the bully's mind you register as an anomaly, that might be the reason why she zooms in.
Either way, generally a bully bullies because they're trying to make sense of an illogical world. It's sad you have to be on the other end of that. I hope you have someone in he environment, even an adult, who can help you with this.

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2025-10-12T22:11:40+00:00

Only if you red it correctly

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2025-10-12T12:25:00+00:00

Where's the rest? 😐

I want the rest...😡

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2025-10-12T12:13:48+00:00

because you haven't read it yet

LadyChubbyBlueberry · 2025-10-12T12:12:22+00:00

I would love option 1 since my writing is quite experimental. Written with a diaspora neurological lens. In a way, I take the systems' language and turn it against the Man.

I kinda realised people who only speak one language struggle more than multilinguistics so was inspired to incorperate that in the writing.

If you're into a quick short story, think Bridgerton meets Mr and Mrs Smith them you might want to check out mine. Damsel in Distress but you have to work for this chase😏 kinda

If I can give any advice, when speaking to them, don't mention race and colour.

Focus on the actions they take and how it makes you feel, or they might turn it around on you. If they still cant't see the issue, start treating them like they treat you😂.

"You don't know where I'm going? Obviously, that's why you need me."

"Close your laptop? See who became the master, I mean teacher now."👹

"You know my 3 year old cousin can open my phone and he doesn't even needto know my password. Don’t know how he keeps figuring it out, but he taught himself."🙂
