SOLVED

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp to recovery (after first temporarily booting to twrp to make sure my bootloader was unlocked), I tried flashing Resurrection Remix, which resulted in some sort of error, I reread the instructions and realized I hadn't factory reset my device (though it was wiped by unlocking the bootloader), and went to my stock system and factory reset it, which seems to have been a huge mistake as now twrp seems to be completely gone and my device isn't getting recognized by adb or fastboot.
I have a small message in the top left of my screen between the boot animation and any boot from power off saying "bad key", fortunately my device is still usable as a stock device but now it seems I've locked my device from ever using a custom ROM now, is this correct?

I realize that I've made some huge mistakes here and should've known better.

Sounds like you should have flashed the dm verity opt encrypt zip. Factory reset is not the step. You were supposed to format data in twrp, format, not wipe.
Did you make any sort of backup before you started flashing ROMs?

* I have mediatek so excuse some differences but one thing is certain ..if you factory reset ..you RELOCK the bootloader +++ revoke USB debug authorization & turn off OEM unlock

*When you say you can use your phone as stock nothing is wrong ....
You can flash full stock & start process over ..by enabling Dev settings then OEM unlock & debug
Connect to computer & give adb authorization

THEN YOUR PHONE WILL BE RECOGNIZED
# very important#
If you factory reset stock it usually relocks bootloader

++ AS madbat pointed out you will need to flash the noverity.zip when booting into twrp the first time.
