Why can't I access my internal resources with my public IP??
-
So I've disabled NAT Reflection for port forwards, and this works for WEB access just fine,
but I've got FTP, TS3 I still need to connect to!
but wait….I just checked, and RDP is working. WHy on earth is this so random? Some forwards are working, and some aren't! HELP!!!!

If you want to use your public IP to access your internal IPs from other internal IPs then you need to ENABLE nat reflection, not disable it.

If I do that, I will get nothing out of my external IP. That is why I unchecked it.

ftp is not simply a single port which is redirected.
The "proper" way to do it is to use split DNS:

"If I do that, I will get nothing out of my external IP. That is why I unchecked it."
Nonsense – that is not what that option means at all. Enable NAT Reflection if you want to be able to access your publiic IP from the internal network IP space to get reflected back into a internal IP.
And see the above post about FTP.. FTP can be problematic through nat in the first place because of the different connections, control 21 and then data channel being either an active or passive type connection.
And I do agree with using just local name resolution or for your boxes vs nat reflection
