i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!

Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.

Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!

Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.

Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!

Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!

Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!

Meat playlist (VERY HARD CW for raw meat processing/prey animal carcasses because this is all butchering footage!! If you are sensitive to that, especially if these are your theriotypes, I suggest you not click this link! There's deer, chicken, fish, rabbit, pig/hog, cow, lamb, goat, and even squirrel meat! Yum!)

Therian videos (videos that are helpful and respectful when talking about therianthropy, including tips!!)

Great songs (songs I've chosen that feel like my unique therianthropy experience, but you might relate to as well!)

Tutorials (DIY gear, vocals, and other therian related tutorials, but this playlist isn't exclusive to therianthropy.)

This channel has quadrobics tutorials for all kinds of animals, even dinosaur gaits! Go to "playlists".

Wandering In The Backrooms (I'm a Backrooms entity otherfix so I have a song playlist to feel more at home.)

Suspicious Songs (I'm Among Us Impostor otherfix so I made a song playlist to make me feel more... impostor-y? You get it, hopefully...)

Ultra Violent Mix & Lustful (these song playlists weren't technically made because I'm a demon choicekin, but I see the connection so I'll include them)

1- Take your time to write a formal report that includes the dates and times of the event and evidence supporting the content of the report

2- Do not exaggerate in describing events. Presenting and describing the facts as they happened will benefit the Palestinian cause more

3- Make sure that the information contained in the report is factual and to the point.
