Allows you to choose the origin of where you want the name to be from, whether you want a more feminine vs masculine vs androgenous name (as voted by users), random surname generator, and clicking on the name gives you important info like if there are any famous people with the same name, where it’s from, how common it is, and how people tend to see it, etc.
You can also search their name database by letter or meaning or origin, so if you know you want a character who has a name/surname that starts with an A from Ireland, there’s a whole list for you to choose from.
Census sites
Especially useful if you’re looking for a name from a specific place and/or time period. Just search “(country) census (year)” and you’ll find a database of real people who lived in that place at that time. No one can ever call your names unrealistic again.
For coming up with place names:
Fantasy name generator
This site can basically come up with any name for any person, place, or thing you might ever need. There are also specific generators for different fandoms if you’re looking to make an OC in an established world.
For finding that one word on the tip of your tongue:
One Look Thesaurus
This is my go-to. Not only can you find synonyms like a regular thesaurus, but you can also describe words like “unhappy smile” or “quiet laugh” to find the more specific word you’re looking for.
For coming up with ideas:
Word cloud
When I need to inspire a new idea, I write down all the things I’m interested in (hauntings, academia, lesbians, etc.) and put them into a word cloud to shuffle them next to each other. Sometimes seeing a concept in a new context can spark new ideas!
WWF Discord
This is my discord channel (shameless plug) for when you need to brainstorm off other people but don’t have anyone irl to talk to. We’re also happy to read and give feedback on writing, answer writing questions, or just chat!
For visualizing places and characters:
Pinterest
Pinterest can at times be a bit too sterile for my tastes, but if you use the right words, you can find more realistic photos of places. For example, adding “aesthetic” after basically any word will bring up a more broad collection of photos to help you flesh out places.
This is also a great way to find photos of people and fashion to help visualize characters. I’m bad at describing clothes, so I usually collect photos of outfits to help me know what my characters are wearing. Searching up “character inspiration” will collect more interesting photos and drawings of people who might not exactly be of our world.
(However, to make Pinterest not show you AI results, you have to go into your settings and check the “reduce AI” box. Luckily, it does mostly work.)
Death to Stock
Like pinterest but completely AI free (hooray!) Only drawback is that you have to pay a monthly subscription (about $20 CAD).
Cosmos
Very similar to pinterest but slightly more "artsy". I'm not super familiar with this one but I believe all the photos are human and you can save them and create collections with a free account.
Dupe Photos
Royalty-free stock image site with very Pinterest-core photos!
Minecraft
If you haven’t built your entire fictional city in Minecraft instead of writing, why not? It’s fun.
The Sims
This one is dual purpose because you can not only create your characters in Create a Sim, but you can design their houses. If you really want to go for it, you can bulldoze all the lots in your town and build your world from scratch.
For checking grammar:
Grammar Girl
Easy to follow definitions and examples, and if you learn better by listening, every article comes with a podcast to follow along with instead.
Grammar Monster
This one is my favourite for checking grammar rules because there’s tons of examples in graphics that helps for any situation.
Reedsy
Among other things, reedsy can connect you to professional editors within your budget.
For writing advice:
One Stop for Writers
This one was recommended from my discord channel and has all sorts of tutorials and resources for the writing craft.
My Blog Directory
Another shameless plug, but if you need writing advice on something specific, you can search through my directory to see if it’s there. If it isn’t, you can always send me an ask about it!
For an alternative to Google Docs:
Ellipsus
Think google docs but without AI. Yay!
(will update this list with any more suggestions or resources I discover 😊)

Not related to the AU directly, but we got some new character posters for GOAT (2026)! The Sony social media accounts have kinda ramped up promotion recently, haven't they? More to come!
Notable members include: Jett Fillmore, Will Harris, Modo Olachenko, Olivia Burke, Archie Everhardt, Lenny Williamson
Y’know, there was a brief time where I was willing to be a bit more lenient with how folks portrayed some characters in Goat 2026. Not all of them stood out as particularly Black to me. I just figured y'all at least knew which characters were undeniably Black, as in, it wasn't left up to interpretation. But apparently, no matter how obvious the writing and portrayal of the character is linked to their Blackness, y'all still had the audacity to depict them as white, of all things, when reimagined as human beings.
So now I have to say, nah: they are all Black. Every team member here. Meaning when you draw them as humans, they better be Black. This is already a Black sports genre story anyways.
“But what can I do about Olivia’s hair?” Either make them into afro-puffs, use the concept art where she is drawn with Black hairstyles in mind, or base it on Y2K straightened Black hairstyles. Either figure it out or don’t do it, I'm just at that point.
Edit: Thanks to this addition in the notes: We now know that Modo's style is based on a former Black basketball star. Please read
Literally, I can’t imagine watching a movie like this and forming the conclusion that someone like Will Harris is a generic white boy. Truly, what were y'all smoking? So for this series, I do want to point out some possible reasons, some of ya’ll don’t want to see these characters as Black. We know it’s due to antiblackness, but we gotta dig deeper into some of these reasons.
Why can’t Will be Black?:
He’s goofy in a corny way
He’s considerate
He’s small thus “non-threatening”
Typical underdog story you associate with scrawny small loser white boys
“None of those reasons only apply to non-Black characters,” and yet time and time again, y'all demonstrate you believe that to be exactly the case. Your actions speak louder than words here, remember that.
See, Will shares a similar demeanor and appearance to the character Miles Morales: a young inner-city Black boy with a humorous personality, fro-ed out hair, love of sneakers, you get the gist. Hell, there’s talk that Caleb McLaughlin may end up voicing Miles in the next Spider-verse movie(don’t quote me).
The thing with Miles, however, is that he isn’t an anthropomorphic animal or anything like that. He’s visually a normal human Black boy. Unfortunately for non-Black fans, many didn’t know how to engage with that fact. Miles’s character was funny and charming and sweet and all, but they just couldn’t imagine a Black boy having those traits, while also being unapologetically Black. I’ve seen attempts to whitewash his character on the account that his mother was Latina, but then stump themselves learning she’s Afro-Latina. People tried depicting him as a troubled Black youth who steals art supplies he can’t afford, which no…he doesn’t do that. His dad is a cop(awful), his mom is a doctor, and he goes to a private school; they aren’t struggling financially. So when all of those attempts to sanitize his Blackness were met with criticism, non-Black fans then turned all their focus onto Gwen Stacy. That's sadly the common tactic for these guys when they enter a fandom focused on Black stories, they focus on the token white.
Now, because Will is depicted as a goat person, some of y'all decided that was a perfect opportunity to say he can be white, cuz “no one said he couldn’t be,” thinking y'all are clever. We already went over how stupid that logic was, so I won’t say much here again. If you are out here believing that a character looking like this, in a Black sports movie genre is white: skill issue.
What I will talk about are the characters yall WILL agree are indefinitely Black…but only due to bigoted biases of preconceived notions towards Blackness.
See, for me, Jett Fillmore is a Black woman because her VA, Gabrielle Union, makes her sound like a typical, old-school auntie who knows how to smack-talk and got game. She was also characterized as someone who had trouble expressing emotional vulnerability and was always hardest on herself. I often see this happen to Black women irl, as we tend to keep to ourselves and close ourselves off, figuring no one actually cares to help us (which does happen more often than not). We live under a system that puts us under constant pressure and hypersurveillance, waiting, and cheering for our downfall. We are expected to help everyone, but at the same time, never to express our thoughts, as that makes us appear aggressive, threatening, and hysterical. That was just an interesting storyline they gave her, and I would have liked to explore that more (how was she not the main character???), but for what we got, the signs were there.
Also, she’s literally a black panther wearing her own Jordan brand; it’s honestly not that hard to conclude that this is a Black character. So for a time, I was impressed to see the fandom depict her as a darkskinned Black woman, cuz fandoms never go that far unless - oh….oh boy
Yeah, so imagine my disappointment to learn the fanbase seems to only agree she’s a darkskinned Black woman, because they see her as an aggressive and angry individual who is “masculine” because she doesn’t have a “feminine body.”
Idk about y'all, but it’s funny how every other day on this website, we talk about how women should be allowed to express their emotions, allowed to express anger over personal injustice, and allowed to have varying body types without being demeaned or questioned about their gender expression. But when it comes to Blackness and Black women, we all of a sudden can’t find ourselves to extend that same grace and consideration. Why does Jett need to be considered a masculine figure for being a Black athlete? Why does Will’s race AND his gender need to be questioned by non-Black people for not meeting the assumed image of Black boys?
Misogynoir in women’s sports is so disheartening to witness. Our bodies are already masculinized (or called animalistic) enough as it is. You then have to add on top of the fact that we aren’t allowed to scream, get angry, get energetic, be happy, or show any visible disappointment with a turnout, lest you be deemed the villain.
Similarly, we have the character Mane Attraction that fandom will also not argue is Black. You would think it’s because of his inner-city AAVE, his use of diss tracks, or his cornrowed mane he takes great care of (even if they might be extensions, which gestures). But no, looking at how y'all treat Jett, I can only assume it’s because Mane is a big, strong, and aggressive individual bullying the “meek, frail, and feminine” main character. I’m being sarcastic with those traits I used to describe Will btw, because that's how he’s all of a sudden framed when it comes to shipping. No, he's just smaller than the average Roarball player, that was kinda the point. Which you should ask yourselves why being small = petite and feminine...and white. Had Will been built like the other large animal players, I’m very certain yall would label him aggressively masculine for speaking AAVE.
Basically, a lot of y'all in the fandom are phony for encouraging this behavior, honestly. All this talk of how we want media to stop portraying everything as an assumed binary, only to show y’all want the status quo to remain. So until further notice, everyone on The Thorns is Black. “Everyone?”
Hey, if you can somehow find a way to make Will a white boy, I’m sure y'all can find how to make the other guys Black.
so I already made this post about how I loved that nibbles in zootopia 2 wasn't made to look overly feminized even tho she is a girl character which is Amazing.
but I LOVE that goat (2026) takes it a step farther by having virtually NO female characters who are designed overly feminine.
Louise, Will's mom, looks like him and none of her features have been softened to be more delicate. Neither are Carol's, the llama diner owner. They both look like Ungulates.
Flo loves having her hooves done and always dresses fancy, but she also isn't animated to be overly pretty or humanized. She looks like a warthog in a pantsuit, as she should.
Olivia has big eyes and long lashes but that is because she is an ostrich and they all have that. She dyes her feathers pink and likes feminine things but she also is a powerful athlete. (I also headcanon her as a trans woman because she has the male ostrich feather colorings.)
Adi and Ari, the rhino twin girls, have big eyes and love girly stuff like glitter and makeup, but they also are literally 5 years old. And they love causing destruction and chaos.
Hannah the aardwolf is a wlw who dresses like a frat boy gamer and honestly she has cured me of all the Trauma i have gotten over the years from overly feminized anthro animals.
Jett is athletic and strong and only looks feminine when she wears a dress to the big premiere and even then she looks more elegant than girly.
I also love that her age and years of pushing herself are catching up to her and this is a conversation about an athlete no longing being able to play, not a woman no longer being young and sexy.
(Plus her reading glasses are adorable and soooo accurate for looking at tiny phone screens lol.)
Also. The fact that she is the star player and everyone's favorite, including Will, is a testament to a woman being treated like an athlete and never a sex symbol.
The real sex symbol of this movie canonically is Modo, who is bi and attracts fans of all the genders.
And the character who is most concerned about their appearance isn't even a woman at all! Its Mane, a super masculine character!
This movie has singlehandedly proven that anthro animals can be designed without human elements and that female characters do not have to look feminine to be taken seriously.
Goat (2026) really is the GOAT of animated animal movies and I hope we get more like it in the future. <3

Went and saw Goat today. Absolutely fantastic movie, love the colors, love the designs, but top of the list:
The deep love and respect it shows specifically for black culture and black communities. (Mane Attraction's hair. Literally the best)
No Anthro Boobs. None of the ladies were struck with the standard "We gotta give them human sexual dimorphism" shtick
Completely coed sport teams. I cannot express how fucking powerful that is in 2026
The backgrounds feel like an actual living city/settlement. Not the crisp clean theme-park Zootopia wonderland stuff, actually lived in and incredibly detailed to my peasant eye.
No romance. Solid platonic cross gender relationships built on respect and comradery
It's so good and I really wish it became the same level of hit as K-Pop Demon Hunters. It won't because it's a completely different genre of movie but holy cow. As someone who has next to no interest in sports this movie is a gem. Beautiful to look at, solid story, incredible set up and pay off. I wish it could crush zootopia like a fucking bug, it's so much better than zootopia one (I haven't and don't want to see the sequel I don't care).
TLDR: If you have the ability go see the movie it's so good.

One of them is because it’s a movie about a co-ed, full-contact sport where the most legendary player is a woman. And a young boy is seen idolizing that woman so much it’s a defining part of his character, but no one ever gives him grief or says he should look up to a boy.
Sure they’re all animals but I still appreciate the message.
