These are the sections I would love to fill. I do not know as much as I should, so feel free to email me: Malaya2uyay@gmail.com recommendations for this list if you want and got the energy! I was going to make it editable by the public, but I didn’t want some wild ass person coming on here and messing something up. I will keep editing this forever, soon making visual spreadsheets and such to make searching easier!
