I have a couple that I'd like to start off with for some of my fellow writers out there…
Give the link to the site and a brief description of it's purpose, please!
http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
Fantasy Name Generators is something I only found recently but it's helped me immensely. Honestly, it has so many different types of names (all you have to do is look up" [unnamed item] name generator" and it pops up first) and the names are really cool! Worth giving a try!

https://www.storywars.net/
Story Wars is a FANTASTIC website, I cannot emphasize that enough. You know how sometimes in this site people do like "add on a sentence to the story" kind of things? That's pretty much what Story Wars does, except a lot more advanced. It is worth creating an account - just be mindful of your gem count when you first start, creating stories costs 10 gems!

I use Ellen Brock's worldbuilding template, which is a huge list of things to include and is an absolute lifesaver if you're struggling to think of things to add.

This height and weight chart has been my best friend since I discovered it.

Not the biggest fan of TVTropes, but this list of their character flaws is pretty helpful.

Hey I use Ellen Brock's worldbuilding bible, too. I also really enjoy her YouTube videos.

Actually come to think of it, I don't really use any specific website… I guess youtibe would technically be the main one id use for stuff about writing. I usually talk to my mom (who's a good editor) and my friends for advice. I have a couple of friends who are writers themselves.

And then I just use Google to find what I need at the time.

Artifexian, a YouTube channel that focuses of worldbuilding.

Skallagrim, a channel for people that love weapons.

Conworkshop, a website for conlangers.

Rhymezone! Might sound like it's just for poetry but it can help with synonyms and stuff too, so you don't end up using the same words too much (a problem I have a Lot)
