Default Alternator swap, now car has 0 powaer. No lights, not ignition, wtf

So yeah, I got my new alternator in the mail. I worked on the swap all day due to taking IM off and whatnot. So I finally get everything back, lower the car to the ground and go to start it...

And nothing. No lights, no prime, no nothing. The battery is connected and has power. All fuses under dash and underhood seem okay. WTF

battery is relocated in the back if that matters, grounds seem okay.

I think i shorted the ground to the alternator when i undid the ground to it to take the shot one out, so wtf

yup, fuse under the hood was blown, but it wasnt a huge "break". It was a 70A.
