The struggle is real 😅
2021 was a tough year. I mean, it told 2020 to sit down, shut up, and watch how it's done. What 2021 also showed me is certain people's true colors.
People that play victim and justify their wrongdoings by making it your fault are a waste of time and energy. Fake people that talk all sorts of trash behind others' backs and get busted then try to act like they didn't (even though you have receipts) are not worth the time. What makes me happy is when these types of people wind up being the best of friends. Can't wait to see that train wreck when it happens. So yes, 2021 was tough, but it sure showed me to take out the trash and leave it at the curb. It smells unpleasant and is ugly to look at.
Now for the good part, I am extremely thankful and happy for the people in my life that make it better. Those that make me laugh, listen when I need it, and send positive vibes. Those friendships are the ones worth treasuring.
But now I just heard Betty White died. So fuck you 2021. Let's go 2022, I'm ready for you, baby!
Love you big, Gen 🧡🖤💜
2021 taught me some lessons, some harder than others. I’m stepping into 2022 holding tightly those lessons and hopefully as a better version of myself with a lot more room for growth. I’m going in with pretty amazing old and new friends, and they’re true friendships, which after the last year is something I unfortunately learned from a rough experience can be very hard to come by. And I’m going in with high hopes that this year will be better than the last.
I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year 🥂
Don't worry queenie, me and @cocomaxley value you 😘 🧡💜🖤
What I'd really like to focus on in 2022 is alot more positive and giving a whole lot less of my energy to the negative. Like weights I've lost on my mental state this year, from toxic and narcissistic people all the way to the other end of the spectrum of burdens. Can't wait for all those good vibes in 2022. 🙌🏻🤗😇
Hello everyone and welcome to the official 12 days of fictmas(choices style) blog!!
Going forward we will be using this to communicate the 12 days info. @emichelle and myself (@leelee10898 ) will still use our personal blogs for contact and posts but, this will make things more organized and accessible for everyone.

This is for Choices Writer's Love Day for @choicesfandomappreciation. Rashad and Gen were a pairing I didn't know I needed, but I can't imagine not having enjoyed these fics now. You make them real and relatable and I love that so much.
This is for Choices Fandom Writers Love day for @choicesfandomappreciation. I can't pick one story, one drabble, one anything because I have always loved everything you've written even way back when I was a wee Tumblr baby who liked sometimes and was too scared to even reblog. lol. If you don't know her fics you truly should check them out, you don't even need to know Choices to fall in love with the stories and the OC's she's created, as well as our beloved Choices characters.
It's Choices Fandom Appreciate Shoutout Day for @choicesfandomappreciation and honestly I don't know where to begin, and in true Erin fashion I'm already running late as it is.
But if I'm being honest I'd love to give a shoutout to anyone I've ever interacted with on here in any capacity, I've never really had a bad experience and everyone has been very welcoming, helpful and supportive. Which I am so thankful for because I know that is definitely not the case for everyone here, but please know if we've ever spoken in any capacity, I remember and thank you. Let's get into the nitty gritty now.
@ao719 , Queenie...I love nothing more than making you sweat with all these compliments but when it comes down to it I know without a doubt that you've got my back just like I've got yours. You're an amazingly talented writer even though you will never believe me when I say that, but more importantly you're an amazing friend. There's nobody I'd rather talk about shady bitches with. Except maybe if we includeGen. 😂
@cocomaxley , Gen I fucking love you. You're an asshole but you own it and I respect the shit out of you for it. Even though I know deep down there's a beat in that black heart. Especially when toe beans are involved. You're an amazing writer and always have the best fic ideas! You're also fiercely protective of people you consider your friends and I'm forever grateful to have you in my corner.
@leelee10898 , Alicia you've listened to me complain about any and every thing under the sun probably more times than I can count. Aside from being a great writer I know I can always count on you to join me in saying "fuck it" to our stupid situations we always end up dealing with, and I appreciate your friendship so much.
Some honorable mentions, and don't think just because you're all listed together that it takes away from anything. You're all amazing writers, your fics have gotten me through some really shitty times and some of you I talk to pretty regularly, some I used to, and some of you I miss the hell out of. But don't doubt for a second the impact you have had on me.
@xpandabeardontcarex , Preet you get your own line because you are the best hype person to have in anyone's corner. You're always so supportive and excited and I just love seeing anything from you honestly because it never fails to brighten my day so much. Never stop being you, Preet.
Also a huge shoutout to @storyofmychoices for putting this all together, running the appreciation site, and everything you do to keep the light shining in this fandom. It does not go unnoticed!
It’s Choices Fandom Shoutout day for @choicesfandomappreciation and I’m about to get into this ridiculous long-ass ramble that absolutely no one asked for.
I love you too Queenie!! You're an amazing writer and an amazing friend and I just know how much that bubble gut and this sappy comment is getting to you right now!
Hey everyone @leelee10898 & @emichelle here, welcome to the 4th year of Choices 12 days of Fictmas! This will serve as the "official" 12 days post, where we will give everyone the rundown of what to expect.
Before we get into technicalities, we just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who has supported and joined us for this event. May it be this year or years past one thing is certain, we can not do this without the help of all of you, and because of that we continue this event!
Now onto the meat and potatoes of it all.
This year's theme is "My Favorite Things", each person will be given a "thing" chosen by random generator, either Erin or Alicia will reach out via message with your day and topic. You do NOT need to send us a list or anything else. (The list of things that will be put into the random generator is posted below.)
As always we run the 12 days from December 1st through the 12th. Please make sure you post on the day you are given and include all writers in the tags as well as the readers and include the hashtags. (All information will be provided to you). Feel free to tag your personal tags as well if you'd like.
Each submission needs to include at least one Choices character from any book you'd like and feature your assigned "thing" in some way. It could be a mere mention of it, could surround the theme of the submission or just be in the title. Whatever you choose. Please remember to add any warnings I:E lemons, angst, death, ect.
Last but not least, have fun with it. We are not excluding other holidays so if you'd like to write about another winter holiday, go for it! We also are still accepting participants so if you missed the first post, let us know and we'd be glad to add you as a writer OR a reader.
We will be contacting you all by tomorrow, November 10th, with your day and thing.
We look forward to seeing what you all come up with. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
Alicia & Erin

Summary: Pam (@speedyoperarascalparty) has decided to leave Tumblr and CGW. We know the decision wasn't easy for her, but we understand that it is what's best for her. Since Pam is an original CGW creator, we will not be replacing her. We wanted to provide some closure for her character CGW style. Please don't anyone take it too seriously. 💜🧡🖤❤️💙

If my cats were kids it would go something like this:
- Chloe: popular, prom queen, mean girl
- Hurley: shy, writes fanfic on tumblr, but she's underage so her parents don't know
- Charlotte (aka Charlie): popular cheerleader, homecoming queen, everyone wants to be her
- Cole: shy, sweet, smart, always on the honor roll
- Champ: athletic, kinda dumb but very cute. Will knock anyone on their ass on the football field and laugh when they cry
Let's make this a little game. What would you pet(s) be like if they were human children?
Not sure if you have pets, but tagging you since you're part of the kitty gang: @neotericthemis @sincerelyella @xpandabeardontcarex
Tagging @ao719 because too bad...
Gravy - Definitely would be a linebacker, cause he's a big boy but also laid back and chill so he just screams "big football lug" to me.
Meatball - athletic but also nap queen; cheerleader, but only because they didn't offer gymnastics.
George - that one kid who is really cute, but thinks he's a vampire and hides all the time; definitely does the Naruto run.
Pepper - Really, really dumb jock who's always talking super loud; atleast he's cute though.
