Not too sure about developing the film itself, but when making the prints you need to expose 3 colours seperataly, so it's a lot harder to get right than the simple process for B&W.
Solarising is really easy, should give it a try if you've still got access to a dark room. All you need to do is expose a partially developed print to light for a second or two while it's still in the first developing agent.

wow that sounds very complicated and really make me realize that I know absolutely nothing about film photography

B&W processing is easy, it's just hard to get the film in the tank the first few times because it needs to be done in complete darkness.

lmao. Well I know I have quite good uh sight in darkness so maybe I will do ok and not accidentally drink weird chemicals or get my ass drowned in the chemical bath

No, you need complete and utter darkness when you're loading the film onto the spool, you won't be able to see your hand directly in front of your eyes, let alone anything else. Once it's loaded into the tank you can turn the light back on though. You need safelight's when you're printing, so you can still see, it's just the loading that's a pain.
