And that’s it. This took a while to complete but I hope this is helpful to some of you. I actually had a lot more fun on this than I thought I would and wouldn’t mind making a master list of other topics.

So, If there are any topics you guys want a post that has most of the resources linked too send me an ask with the subject (like female pirates or something) (if you want specifics make sure to let me know) And I’ll make another one of these for that topic as long as its a topic I’m comfortable with researching :D
