As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
if you take out all the murder, the ending of assassination classroom is reflected in any student-teacher bond. no matter how close they become, there is always a ticking clock on the relationship. you only get one year with that teacher, with that class. the end of the year may as well be the end of the world. everything the students learn brings them closer to the point when they can leave the teacher behind. after graduation, the students will move on to their futures, armed with all the knowledge they've gained, but the teacher can't come with them.
there's a reason every episode's title has the word "time" in it. because the whole show is about the time class e gets to spend together, and the titles are a constant reminder that that time is limited.
the assassination of koro-sensei is class e's graduation. from that moment forward, the teacher, the class, and middle school itself, are no longer a part of their lives. it would seem the message is that nothing lasts forever. the sakura blossoms always fall, children always grow up, and the fun times always end.
a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners

You: Why are there two different dates on this single comic?
Me: Hehe... Draw at 11:00PM on 11/2, then finish at 2:00AM on 11/3. :D
Edit: Eyo? 69 notes? *wiggles eyebrows intensively* :3
Edit: Oof and YAY! *Inserts megamind meme* No more 69? :/

Angry Bruce is kinda hot
So I’m back on my ‘I want Bruce to snap’ bullshit
Like I want this this man to full on cuss a mf out. I want him to throw all his manners out the window and become absolute Gotham TRASH for a moment. His posh accent is gone, he’s got the thickest Gotham accent imaginable, words are pouring out so fast that if you weren’t from the area it’d sound like he was speaking another language
Poor Cass and Damian are struggling to understand what the fucks coming out his mouth in general because of the accent alone
And what caused this you might asked? They were crossing the crosswalk when a car almost didn’t stop. Bruce the stubborn fuck he is didn’t move, he straight up stood his ground and glared at the driver as if that alone could stop a moving vehicle. I mean seriously, what was he gonna go jump on the hood? (Absolutely)
The fact that this wouldn't stop me
