And?
The obvious question being, were you?
Oh, and another obvious question being, who did this blaming?

If you tap the B3 E7 G2 squares with your queen and then rotate your furthest left pawn counter-clockwise, your bishops can move both straight and diagonally.

Wait, I thought the point of online chess was to code a program that plays better than the opponent's?
Ummmm...no. And, for the record, on-line chess cheats use bought programs, not anything they coded themselves.
Imo if you code the program yourself and win, you deserve the win. A bit like if you take part in a dog contest dressed as a dog, and win.

That's a reasonable enough position, but again that isn't what is generally happening. That would also be far more difficult to catch than the usual on-line chess cheats are.

Yo. My last day of Spanish at the spot and the final tests were keeping gangsters feeling appreciated and like they aren’t gangsters in my eyes and then a family problem after we escaped.

I was playing on account which had about 1350 rating despite me being about 2200+ player. Since I forfeit many games when I decide to stop playing mid-game (I multi task almost all the time so I have chess open as one of the tabs), I forfeit a lot of games even whem I'm completely winning.
Some random dude on internet who had 2100+ rating and him losing to 1350 made him SUPER ANGRY.

So the accusation came from some sore loser? That puts it very firmly in "so what?" territory. The only way an accusation matters is if it comes from the site management, and they aren't going to make an accusation based on that circumstance.
Of course, some lame sites don't actually do any such accusing at all and have no methods in place to catch cheaters.

Well, the guy reported me for cheating. I have been reported for "cheating" on chess.com before (this was on lichess) and people have spammed my "wall" with accusations. I mean "so what" is accurate, it is just this situation -
I would like to queue up for casual games, but chess sites are small already, casual queues are even smaller. So to get a quick game I have to play rated atm.

On chess.com "reported for cheating" is basically irrelevant. Getting spammed with unsubstantiated accusations is an issue, for sure, and whoever did that should get reported and there would be action taken. What makes being reported for cheating irrelevant is that chess.com has a process in place that is extremely reliable and if there was no cheating such reports just get dismissed. I don't know anything about lichess though.

Rant: I had to help my mother with groceries earlier.
Then I lost my balance and went down the stairs when I got home. Ow.

Wife woke up around 3am and was really, really ill. I went to the couch to give her some space and I wound up falling asleep. My couch is comfortable for sitting on but after sleeping on it, I feel as though someone threw me in a tumble drier for a few hours. Every joint hurts, my neck and back are screaming and I can even feel the ball joints in my hips. I got up and ended up going back to bed where I promptly passed out for another 6 hours. On top of the headache you get from oversleeping, I also began withdrawing from caffeine and nicotine while I slept and my head feels like it's in a vice on top of everything else hurting. We had plans to do stuff today and have cancelled everything. 
tl;dr I feel like dog doo-doo
