OMG I remember my grandma and grandpa watching this show, I think it was every Saturday night? I could be wrong!
Thanks for the memory, your well wishes, and all you've contributed to the fandom all these years! ❤️
Tumblr media
Just shy of three years ago, I happily stepped in to help when @choicesficwriterscreations needed assistance with CFWC Fics of the Week. Shortly thereafter, the blog's original creator, @loricreates, was ready to step down, and along with @lucy-268 I was honored to take over and continue the great work Lori had started.
The CFWC archive provides an invaluable service to our fandom, but it was always so much more to me. It's a place where people connect, friendships are fostered, and our incredibly talented creators have a chance to be seen and appreciated.
It has been my pleasure to serve as CFWC's mod, and I'm very proud of the contributions I have made during that time. But it's also a lot of work, and lately, it was beginning to feel like a chore. That's when I knew it was time to say goodbye. I'm not going far; I'll still be in the fandom. I may even show up here to help host a special event or two in the future, but for now, I want to spend my time concentrating on other things, both in and outside of the fandom. That includes my writing, catching up on reading, and supporting each of you.
I want to thank @lorircreates, CFWC's founder, for her vision, for creating this space, and for entrusting it to me. It was an honor to take the reins from you, and I hope we've done your "baby" proud.
I want to thank @lucy-268, who was a dream co-moderator. We sure had a lot of good (and crazy) times running the blog together. I'm so glad this fandom brought us together... and we'll stay that way long after this fandom is gone. 💙
I'd like to thank @liaromancewriter, who has graciously offered to take over so that CFWC can continue. Please join me in welcoming Mal as the blog's new moderator! It makes me feel much better knowing I'm leaving CFWC in your hands!
Most of all, I want to thank all of you. Each and every one of you has made our fandom what it is. The creators who make us laugh, cry, and feel things we never expected to feel. The readers and art fans who have encouraged everyone along the way. Everyone who has ever "geeked out" over a beloved story, character, or OC together. Through CFWC, I've gotten to know many of you better, and that has been the best part of the time I've spent here.
So this is my final CFWC post... one last time! :) I can't wait to see what the future brings! 😘

This was me when I was making the decision. I went back and forth, stayed on a few months longer, and thought maybe I could take on admins to help, but in the end, I knew this was the right move, and I am so happy. I am happy for the work that was done and happy for the other things I have in my wake. Thanks so much for your love and support, and I'm eternally grateful that you being WOTM brought us together! ❤️

It's party time! lol
Honestly - I have LOVED the time I've spent as CFWC Mod, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I've been toying with this decision for some time and, like many tough CHOICES, I really stressed over it, but once I made the final decision, I felt so happy and so relieved! This is like my retirement bash, and I'm celebrating! lol
Thank you for your love & support through the past years - I'm so happy for what the future holds! 😘😘😘

Thank you so much, Caro! <3

Yeah, it's April. lol But I always wanted art for this part of Tobias & Casey's story, and as I revamped this series to move their HC along, I decided to go for it. (Hell, who knows if I'll even be here in December.) So... here it is. Once again, Instagram's @/artbyainna knocked it out of the park.
My babies were not a couple at this point... I know... they sure look like they are... but they were still stubbornly clinging to that "just friends" thing because the denial was strong! lol
This is from the fic A Bite of the Apple in the Christmas Through Your Eyes series. Yeah. I love them! ❤️

This is adorable! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've admired @bayleedraws-sometimesx's beautiful work since I joined Tumblr, so when I saw she had opened emergency commissions, I knew I had to get one. Here are Trystan and Emma, probably holding hands in public while somehow still believing they're being discreet.
Thank you, Baylee! I absolutely love this 🥰

If this is offensive to you ... this... which says:
Talk Directly
Don't send anon hate
Don't assume someone sees your posts
Don't assume the worst of everyone
TALK DIRECTLY and be a civil/decent human being
If THIS is offensive to you? Then, I hate to tell you - but YOU are the problem.
The amount of issues that could be avoided if people had the decency and maturity to speak to each other like civilized human beings instead of resorting to the more commonly used methods here, like anon hate, vagueing, and passive-aggressive posts that are clearly targeting a person or group.
In the three years I have been on this hellsite, I have witnessed how these "methods" turn minor issues into outright, unnecessary wars.
Here is some information for those who are unaware:
Anon hate is douchey and wrong. If you send it, you're a douche and wrong. Period. If you can't understand that, please stop reading because you are already beyond help.
Unless someone has notifications set for you, there is an excellent chance that your intended target will not even see your vague/passive-aggressive rants.
Then, when said vague/passive-aggressive rant goes unanswered and ignored, the person or mob behind it festers, simmers, and becomes more outraged.
Bruh. They probably never even saw it, and if they did, they may not known it was directed at them. Now, the problem is 10 times bigger and, best of all, the original problem was never even addressed, much less solved!
Here's another tip:
Don't always assume the worst about someone!
Especially when you never bothered to communicate with them. You're making blind assumptions when you have little or no facts. Trust me, unless you're a mind reader, you don't know. You're not that smart, babes. Trust me. I'm not, either. TALK like grownups. It's much easier than all the bullshit that arises because of the above.
Now, you may be saying, "Hey, yeah, but aren't you vagueing/targeting right now, too?"
I'm sure some will take it that way. Since they likely won't reach out to me directly, they'll take their skewed logic as gospel and insist that they know my motivation. They'll also insist it's regarding "this" fandom event or whatever our drama du jour is.
Well, absolutely no one knows my motivation except me. So I'll make it clear. This is not geared toward any specific event, past or present, but an amalgamation of everything I've seen and experienced in the past three years. My motivation is two-fold. 1) I'm letting off steam, but, more importantly, 2) it is my sincere hope that people will see this, think about how they act and interact with others, and try to be better people.
I'm sure the fandom mind readers will dismiss what I just said and assign motivation to me. Have at it. I don't care.
No one knows my motivation except me, and no one knows my desired end goal, either. My desired end goal Is that everyone, myself included, will reflect more on how they behave and treat other people. I assure you, doing this will save others, the fandom, and, more importantly, it will save yourself a whole hell of a lot of unnecessary distress.
It's not that hard. Be better.

I'm so gad you enjoyed this @peonierose! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
It's Bugging Me...
This little text fic is based on this ask from @cadybear420, who sent the three-word prompt: Casey, Tobias, and ladybug. This just worked perfectly! Thanks for the prompt! 🐞
Open Heart || Tobias x Casey || Teen (slightly raunchy, it's them...) This takes place when Sammy is about 4 months old, Casey is still on leave.

It always amazes me. The people who "hate" you and have you blocked to "protect their peace" are always the first ones to know your every move.
That's not normal behavior, babes. Not normal at all.
If I block you, the last thing I'm going to do is stalk you.
Haters should just start a damn fan club. 💅🏼

Reblogging because it’s that time of year.
Thought… I think I am going to create some angsty/anti prompts for the event later today….
Mother’s Day Prompts
Seems some (including myself) are struggling with ideas this year, and there are no specific Mother’s Day events in the fandom, so here are some thoughts, I hope they can help.
1. Mom-to-be/ First Mother’s Day
2. Single Mom AU (or Single Mom friend)
3. Remembering Mom/Grandma
4. Receiving first handmade mothers day gift from child
5. Partner forgot it was Mother’s Day, now is making up for it
6. Breakfast in bed
7. Can’t be with Mom (distance/work/death)
8. Planning a Mother’s Day getaway to avoid toxic family for the day
9. Planting a garden on Mother’s Day
10. Helping Mom’s who are less fortunate (collecting supplies, hosting events, secretly helping their kids get them a gift)
11. LI and Kids cooking on Mom’s Day
12. MC has no relationship with mother… and this day is hard
13. Picking out a Mother’s Day Card for a Mom you aren’t all that close with (and they are all mushy)
14. Buying a card… then remembering your mom is now gone (sorry lol)
15. First Mom’s day after divorce/as an empty nester/ etc.
16. Big family dinner chaos
17. Kids buying gifts at school sales
18. Spa day w mom/child on Moms Day
19. Dealing w Mom’s Day while coping with infertility
20. Making Mom’s Day Tik Toks w the kids
Feel free to add / share

To those who asked why I deleted it... I didn't. :)
Hey, everyone. I want to take the opportunity to say something that's been percolating in my head for the past two days. There are several reasons I've put it off, but it's important, so I can't continue to do so.
As some of you may know, some artwork was shared recently that included a character that I'm familiar with. It's a character I know and love. In the art, the character was undoubtedly whitewashed, and while I didn't reblog it on my personal blog, I did like and comment. Further, I reblogged on CFWC, which, in my opinion, is even worse. CFWC is a place for the whole fandom where everyone should feel safe, and I failed at my job to make it so. I fucked up, and even worse, I didn't even realize until it was pointed out to me. Honestly, that's messing with my head because it was obvious... how did I not see it?
Racism is not something I take lightly, and I do my best not to tolerate it in my personal life. I come from a mixed-race family, on both my Latine and Mediterranian sides. I understood at a young age how my light-skinned cousins and I were treated much better than my cousins with dark skin. Not only by strangers but by our own freaking family. Once I was old enough to understand why, I tried my best to break that pattern and be a better person. I think I've succeeded in many ways, but I know damn well that I have also failed on more than one occasion. Racism and white supremacy are so intrinsic in our society that sometimes I didn't even realize the shit I was doing was racist and wrong.
But in this case, I know whitewashing is wrong, and no matter how disappointed I am with myself, I can't deny the truth. I know what whitewashing is. I know it's racist. I know it's wrong. I know it hurts people, yet my actions supported it. I've spent a long time wrangling with my thoughts, trying to understand how I could have done it. Was I just so blind and privileged that I didn't see it? Was I just rushing through notifications late at night and not paying attention? But at the end of the day, the reason is irrelevant. It doesn't matter how or why it's done, the bottom line is it hurt people, and I need to take responsibility.
I want to profusely apologize to those I hurt. I don't have to question if... I know I hurt and disappointed people, and saying I'm sorry doesn't feel like enough. So I give you my word, my promise to do better and not repeat this. I will be more cognizant of the content I'm engaging with and do my part to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. I failed at that this week. If I could undo it, I would, but I swear, I'll do better.
I'm sorry it took me two days to address this. There were valid reasons for the delay, but I couldn't ignore this any longer. This is difficult to talk about and hard to admit, but it's nowhere near the difficulties and pain that pervasive racism forces BIPOC people to live with every day. I am so truly sorry.
