do you ever like a character so much that just looking at pictures of them is a bit embarrassing.

Pinned post! 📌

Welcome to the sharksprimer blog! Under the cut is an index of our 2023–24 Sharks primer posts.

To see the original slides, check out this Google Drive folder of primer slide decks. To see all the references used in our research, check out this Google Doc of references. Fun fact! The primer used to be just one slideshow but it started taking forever to load and freezing and lagging so it got broken up into smaller chunks <3

Coming soon: Tumblr posts/transcripts of the slides.
