Default HELP Car wont turn over!

Battery is fine, all the gauges come on and the radio comes on, but when i go to turn the key the car will not turn over at all. I tried to remote start it at first, and got nothing out of it. then i tried it with the key. Nothing.. I'm at a loss of what to do, this car is my daily driver right now and I dont have another ride.

what could this be? the VATS? the starter?

All the lights and gauges are on, the car was running fine last night. And yes i did let the car sit, i took out the remote battery, pulled the battery out of the car, and let the car reset itself, and nothing works.

Look at all the fuses. My car wouldn't turn over the other day cause I blew the ignition fuse. My ignition wire (purple) was touching bare metal cause I did the !wire mod and didn't protect the wire from the sharp metal hole I cut. Over time the metal rubbed through the rubber around the wire and kept blowing fuses. I don't know. Maybe my screw up will help you some?
