Yes I know, I'm an idiot. I've done this a thousand times that my confidence just got too big and I forgot to double check. I bought a new battery and nothing, even no lights on the dash. I've check all my visible fuses in the bay and by the drivers wall, they're all fine. but I did find out that a part that connects off of the positive terminal got fried, i have no idea what this part is called, can you guys help me? and maybe give me some other things to check?
it is a 1985 celica gt 2.4 efi.
ill include a link to the picture of the part.

Those are fuse links on the positive terminal cable of the battery. Not sure on replacements for that. Might just add an inline 100A circuit breaker instead.

You'll have blown multiple fuses, multiple fusible links and possibly the ECU. There's multiple fusible links hanging off the positive battery cable and two in the engine fuse box.
I bought a car that was like that.
