Gone.

00. DON’T START DRAMA WITH ME!

I didn’t want to have to post this, but because I was accused of following someone AND their followers to steal their content without being given the chance to defend myself, I feel that I have to add this to my rules:  

If I follow you it’s because I want 100% to write with you, but if I haven’t messaged you yet or sent you an ask its because I was mobile and couldn’t find your rules OR because I’m intimidated by your writing style and I haven’t worked up the courage to do anything yet.  

I make my own icons or I use what was GIVEN to me by @fearnevertrying.  

Normally my blog is a bit more put together than it is right now, but 1) I’m trying to switch to a single muse from a multimuse blog AND 2) I’ve been busy due to the holidays.

I AM NOT A THIEF, SO DO NOT FALSELY ACCUSE ME OF IT!!!

01.  About my Muse: Caitlin Snow will always be my default muse unless it is specified in a tag, ask or IM and I use the following tags to separate my muses:   m; Caitlin Snow (m is for muse) & m; Killer Frost (m is for muse) NOTE:  This is **NOT** a multimuse blog.   Caitlin Snow & Killer Frost are doppelgangers from a different Earth unless we decide stick with CW’s current plot.  

 02.  About Length, Formatting & Icons:

I don’t require a specific length, but I do ask that you at least cut your post to help keep the dashboard clean.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with my situation, I have misplaced my external hard drive, therefore I will not be using icons until I find it.  ** Amendment **   This was written in drafts BEFORE I was accused of following people for their content.  Because of this I won’t be using gifs or icons.  I follow meme blogs just like the rest of you so if I like your meme set its because I’m mobile and can’t send you one immediately OR so that I can go back and find out what meme blog posted it so that I can reblog it later.  

03.  About Shipping, NSFW & Smut:

I do have some preferences, but if we’ve written together for a while and things are going well between our muses then I’ll probably be open to the ship. I am 21+ but I find Smut/SNFW to be tacky and awkward to write so you probably won’t find any of it on this blog.

To summarize my statement from earlier, someone accused me of making the same blogs as them AND then accused me of following their followers to steal their content.  Let me just say that I am NOT a newbie on tumblr.  I’ve been here with Caitlin on some blog or the other since 2015 and I’m not going anywhere.  Other than this blog I have 3 sideblogs.  One of them is my old Caitlin sideblog that I can’t bring myself to delete, the other is a blog that I sometimes use to edit my themes on and the newest one is my multimuse sideblog because I decided that I wanted to make Caitlin/Killer Frost a full time muse back in December.

I did not make this blog to copy anyone and I do not follow other people to steal content.  My current icon and image on my blog came from a zip file that was given to me by @fearnevertrying and the only reason that I don’t have more icons and images on my page is because this blog is being redone to suite Caitlin instead of my old blog (metasandarrows)  AND because I don’t know the newer versions of photoshop well enough to do more than simple icons. At this point I’d also like to make it known that if I followed you it’s because I 100% intend to write with you.  If I don’t it’s because I’m busy or I’ve forgotten your URL or because I’m intimidated by your writing style and I haven’t gathered up the courage to message you or to send you an ask.  I was trying to do that by following some new people and apparently I offended someone but I wanted it to be known that I am not a copy cat or content thief and I’m sure that I can come up with a few people that can testify to everything that I’ve stated on this post tonight!

I am NOT stalking ANYONE for content. If I am following you it is because I intend to write with you. This blog was metasandarrows from 2016 until January 1st 2018 and before that I wrote on the blog "oflaptopsandlattes" and "doctorfortheheroes"

I do NOT condone theft and I pride myself on the fact that I make my own content or I don't post it at all.

One of the adults always had the baby with them and most of the kids were still curious about Lydia so that didn’t help matters either.  “But I don’t think we should be talking about switching homes without Oliver.  He’s still in Russia talking to Lena about Peter, so it might be a few more days before we get to have that conversation.”

      “It was hard to understand, but, I think you said you miss your shadow?”

Tilting her head at the device that had woken her up, Sophie paused curiosity as she continued to watch Laurel’s cell phone.  “I do’s.  You’s judge birdies twin.  Mamma told me not to call you that though AND she tolds me not to tell you that she’s a scared that Daddy Barry will leab her for the news lady when we get back home.  Hey!  You know’s Daddy Oliber!!”

      Oliver frowned at Alice’s reaction but couldn’t come up with a better explanation than what Laurel had provided.  They were in a very public place and a scene was the last thing they needed, so he'd been thankful that Caitlin had managed to defuse the situation...even though being here was the last thing that she had wanted to do this morning.  “She might be angry, but she hasn’t had time to hate us, birdie.  Maybe one day she’ll understand that we were just kids when you had her and maybe she’ll forgive us because we were both here when she needed us the most.”         After all, the girl was young and the only people that she’d ever known as her parents had just died.  She was probably vulnerable and being in a new place wasn’t going to help her, but at least she had a big family that was going to love her the instant they got to meet her.         “Don’t worry about her hating you, Laurel.  I’m sure that once your father starts telling her all the stupid things I did as a kid then she’ll forgive you in a second.  Poor girl is going to need therapy to help her adjust to all of this but she’ll be alright.”  

The brunette headed towards the door and hesitate for a minute because they’d never been able to trust anyone enough to leave Sophie.  This was their Laurel though.  She was kind and loyal and she had once trusted this woman with her own life, so why was leaving their daughter with her this hard?  {Laurel} Caitlin cried at the ultrasound.  She’s not as prepared for this as she thought she would be, but I guess that’s normal, so I’m dropping the boys off at Johns so she doesn’t have to worry about them while I’m out.  Let me know what you want for lunch tomorrow and I’ll get my assistant to order it.

The second noise from Laurel’s phone caused the little girl to shift slightly in Laurel’s arms, but the phone ringing in the front part of the office was what caused the child to fully wake up.  “B-birdie...?” she asked in a sleepy voice, “Where my mom?”  

      The second he realized who Alice was, the older man knelt down to her level to get a better look at her,  “I’m Oliver Queen,” he added slowly.  “And you’re so much taller than the pictures they sent us.”  She looked like him in the face, but she had her mothers eyes and nose.  For a second he wondered about her adopted parents and if they might have looked like them, but those thoughts were quickly dashed when the child in front of them voiced her confusion.       “I know who you are.”       Alice had done her research, so she had known who Laurel was the instant she saw her face, “my cousin used to tease me about being adopted, so I stole my mother’s credit card and hired someone to find out who my real parents were, but he said that you were dead.”  It was clear that she was upset them when she rejected any sort of physical contact from Oliver; but the second Caitlin approached them with Lydia, the young girl seemed to calm down. 

 “Is that my sister???”  

       Caitlin spoke to her husband for the first time since their fight last night and only then because she the notification had come to her phone instead of his.  They were waiting at the baggage claims area while Oliver held up a sign with their daughters last name on it.  If she were being honest, she was still furious that “auntie” Laurel had kept such a secret from them --- but wrongly accusing the former couple of cheating on her, that argument felt too invalid to bring back  up.  Besides.  He hadn’t said a word to her all morning and bringing that up now would probably just make things worse.

      “Ollie, I feel a little weak, so I’m going to take Lydia right over here and sit down, okay?’  Not that he had a choice in the matter, but she pointed to her seat in case either of them had questions and moved over to a chair that had its back against the wall so it could prop her head up without worrying about falling backwards all of the sudden.  And from where she sat she could video the family reunion, but Oliver was glad that his wife was finally out of earshot because he needed to vent his frustrations after everything that had happened.
