For the Halloween ask...Hocus Pocus. :)

Hocus Pocus: What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?

My personal favorite comes from high school. It’s from the GUIDANCE Counselor that I had, whom we were required to see Junior year to pick classes for senior year. Otherwise it would, of course, be too hard for us to get into college if we didn’t have help picking classes, as how would we know what to take?

That isn’t the ridiculous thing though.

No, the ridiculous thing is that, despite me going to be taking AP English and missing graduating a YEAR early by ONE credit.... said GC told me that I shouldn’t even bother applying to UW Madison or anything else aside from maybe a community college because “there was no way [that I] would be accepted into it.”

....yeah. She told me to not even try because my grades weren’t high enough. My 3.89. Due to having a B average in Math and not wanting to go further in Math that year because she couldn’t make me, I was not going to be doing calculus when I barely understood Algebra II and Trig. 

So, there you have it. The GC who was supposed to encourage me and help me went told me to not even bother applying to colleges as I would not get in.

For reference: I ended up getting a 30 on my ACT, was accepted early into the ONE college I applied to, and ended up getting what amount to 3/4th of my four years of tuition paid for via scholarship being awarded to me. Of which only two were awarded every year.

Thank you so much or your support and kind words about my fics, Calli. I really appreciate it. I'm happy but not (really) surprised people stepped up to let you know you're great cos you are. ❤

The only reason I’m not in your inbox 24/7 begging for more fic (as much I love re-reading the ones you have up, I would absolutely DIE to have new ones to read) is because I know writers don’t like to be hassled on that. But rest assured, I am desperate for more of your stories. You have an incredible voice and it’s not hyperbole to say that you are one of my favorite writers in this fandom (true, I have a lot of them but you’re near the top I swear!).

I want to thank everyone for the kind words they’ve sent me after my post(s) last night. There are still good people in this fandom. Here’s some replies to replies that I wanted a chance to address before I dust my hands and move on.

I really hate the reason you had to share this, but thank you for being so open. I honestly don't know how you do it. I'm still utterly scared to say everything I want and it because people have been pretty awful lately, especially to those who are willing to put their positive opinions out there. I just want you to know I think you're pretty awesome. You are one of the nicest and most positive people in this fandom, and I love that.

You were also one of the first people in this fandom to really interact or follow me. So, thank you for being you. I hope that eventually these people will leave you alone and you can just enjoy the show with us fellow positive viewers on here and Twitter. I miss you on Twitter, but I understand why you haven't been on there. I probably would've done the same thing. *HUGS*

You are so sweet. Honestly, I’m lucky to have gotten to know you in this fandom because you always make me smile. Always. I’m sad I had to share this too. I hate to share things about myself. And I hate that people will think this is me being a victim. No, it’s just who I am. Which is just an average person who has feelings and is hoping for others to be considerate of that and to allow me to have my own opinions and express them in my own space. I will be back to Twitter. I think I’m going to give it the weekend to breathe though. We’ll see what the panic level looks like come Monday morning. ;)

I have actively been avoiding your blog because spoilers! (I am trying to be good, and not be disappointed if I should be with Arrow.) Can I just say, I love your blog. And end game will always be Olicity. That being said, if I don't like something you post, IE : I am not a whovian. I just scroll on by. Keep doing what you do. Haters shouldn't matter. And anyone giving you hate, needs to go over >>. Anyway, keep rockin and do what you do. Sending positive vibes your way.

Sorry about the spoilers! (and the DW posts...) I do tag, so that if you use xkit or tumblr savior you can avoid those posts altogether. But thank you for just scrolling past. I wish more people could just scroll past. Thanks for the kind words.

nightkeepyr replied to your post “who i am”

@callistawolf you are amazing. And hella talented. I think the fandom is lucky to have you, and your opinions. I hope you continue to share whatever you feel comfortable sharing! :)

Thank you but if I’m amazing then EVERYONE is. Your fics inspire me and they’re some of my most often reread fics. I should be embarrassed by how many times I’ve reread your fics. (but I’m not) I just live in hope that we’ll get more from you whenever you feel ready because I need more fics to add to that incessant rotation. ;)

Regardless of any opinions about the show, the characters, actors, the writers: the fandom has changed. I've said this to so many people, but the openness and acceptance completely disappeared this hiatus. That's what I miss and want back. I miss the kind, openminded fandom that I joined. I hope I get it back someday, but right now, I'm not holding my breath. 5 days to power through, Calli!

Thank you. Yes, I agree totally. It’s been so hard to watch it happening, and not being able to do anything about it. Anytime I point it out, I get smacked back. So all I can do is watch the fandom that I once loved and admired for it’s care and community, crumble and die. I’d like to hope that we’ll get at least some of it back someday but I honestly don’t know. When posts like the one I got last night are considered acceptable, then I think the damage is worse than we thought.

I think everyone has the right to express themselves. You are one hell of a lady and I'm sorry this fandom has disappointed you greatly.

I’m sorry too. Thanks for the support.

kmwashbourn replied to your post “who i am”

Girl, say what you want and fuck other people's nasty reactions. Like that olicitypic on twitter. After I told her that Emily owed us nothing and to get over herself, she proceed to tell me that she hates herself anyway and was going to kill herself based off what I told her...really? I almost never respond to that kind of stuff, but for some reason, I felt the need to on that one, and when she responded so passive agressively, With her response, I was like, yep. That's why I usually don't respond. PEOPLE SUCK, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T STOP GIVING YOUR OPINION AND THOUGHTS! CUZ, YOU'RE THOUGHTS ARE VALID, GIRL! YOU MATTER!!!

Thank you... That person on twitter (and who knows, they may be the same as this person as this was most certainly not their primary tumblr account) had some problems and I was sorry to see them manifest but attacking other people for a difference in opinion is never excusable. I know people think that’s what I’ve done, but I literally have gone to great lengths to NEVER do that. I never go to anyone’s tumblr or twitter and confront them (especially using such aggressive language) on their own turf. I feel that’s crossing a line. Anyhow. Thanks for the kind words and support.

tdgal1 replied to your post “who i am”

You are special and don't let someone who is obviously bitter make you think otherwise. Big hugs. Positive people always get these types of reactions but we gotta keep spreading the cheer. We all love you.

I’m not really special though... I’m just me. Nothing more or less than anyone else. :) Doing what I do. Thanks for the support. I don’t know about spreading cheer but I do try to spread logic and reason. ;)

andscatterthechaos replied to your post “who i am”

Omg hun I've had the upbringing from hell as an only child, and i cannot sympathize with you more. *hugs*

I’m sorry that you sympathize but I’m grateful for the support.

andscatterthechaos replied to your post “It never fails to amaze me how fandom can spend two months (closer to...”

Damn someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. How do people who have uncanon ships survive? Lol. I'll tell you. Through fic. Y'all i have watched arrow from the beginning and its a goddamn blessing to have seen my favorite pairing come together onscreen. I'm grateful for whatever time they get. No ship hate is deserved if you once loved Laurlver or whomever else besides Felicity my gal with him. Great. But that angry self labeled annoying blog needs to sit down.

I think that person is an Olicity shipper actually? Which just makes me all the more sad because I hate that we’re terrible to each other. We should be sticking together, not tearing each other apart. Thanks for the kind words and support.

Woo hoo!! John has excellent taste! Really happy for you and your giddiness x

Thank you!! We're supposed to hang out tonight so I'm excited :)))

nightkeepyr replied to your post: “im exhausted and I have a headache and I don’t wanna spend 7hrs in the...”:

Hope it sucks less soon! I'm in bed already with snacks, about to read...such a rebel lol.

Haha thanks! And are you kidding me?! I'm so jealous of how you're spending your night!!

[smoakingbillionaires]

I have a prompt idea, so maybe you or one of your followers could use it? It's an AU where Oliver and Felicity are FWB and for her birthday, he decides to make one of her fantasies come true, by asking to, either Barry or Tommy to join them for a threesome

Have you read Luring Liberty by nightkeepyr because you should. It’s basically the same concept but with Tommy and Felicity in a relationship and Felicity has fantasies that involve Oliver so Tommy surprises her one night by inviting him over. It’s so fucking good honestly if you haven’t read it go find it on ao3 right now.

[olicityalways]

Val. As soon as I saw Emily's legs, after I said damn...I thought of you. Weird? Possibly lmao but I thought I'd say anyway. Hope you enjoy the rest of the awesome sauce. I know you will :)

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL BABE!!! LIKEWISE ANGEL!!

[divinareina]

Ah, I'm a bit sad for you too, that you're not there today. I hope you have an amazing time tomorrow!! :)

I hope so too! But I’m already saving for 2018. I think my sister and I will be better prepared for it!

Yeah. Tomorrow we go early to line up for Hall H so we can go to the Supernatural panel! Plus I’m hoping some of them stick around or something.
