I need help badly! My hair was dark, so I bleached it, then used a high lift, cool toned blond dye on it. I got the desired shade of lightness, however my hair was so porous from the bleach that the cool tones soaked in too much and my hair turned baby blue!

I went to the beauty supply and the man working there gave me a yellow based toner to try to even it out, but it barely took the edge off the blue. My hair's pretty thrashed and I don't think it can take another dye job.

I was considering buying a protein filler but I'm not sure if I should get a clear one, a platinum one, or a gold one, or if this is even the right course of action at all, and maybe I should just tough it out and deal with having smurfberry blond hair. Aside from the blueish tint, it's white-blond. Help??

It will fade.  Use some regular tide to wash the hair a few times to make it fade faster.  Next time try leaving the toner on less time.
 
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Keep shampooing (and deep conditioning) and it will fade. Promise.

Wow. How blue is it? Is it just a slightly bluish cast? Then don't do anything. It will fade. Keep deep conditioning and leave the deep conditioner on a long time - like 20 minutes or so. If it is truly blue, you might consider removing the color with Color Oops and applying a demi or semipermanent toner in a warm golden tone in a very very light blonde shade afterwards. But, since your hair is already a bit on the damaged side....I would recommend patience and conditioner. Lots!
