Internet Security 101: Actual Advice for avoiding pedophilles and predators on the internet!
I do this for a job.
- Do not ever put a picture you took online without using a Metadata Remover Program first. Coding.Tools has one, and there are apps for it. If you do not, then any creep smart enough to google a metadata/EXIF viewer can find your LONGITUDE LATITUDE AND CAMERA INFO.
- Tape your webcam when its not in use. That way, even if something nasty gets on your computer, it cannot record you.
- Predators will lie to you about themselves. They will present themselves to be your peer, talk about your hobbies. As a result, a key skill in not looking like an easy target is not giving in to peer pressure.
- All of those posts on how you should reblog and comment on fics DO NOT APPLY TO YOU, if you are a minor and it is a smutfic. Even if your age isn’t in your profile.
- Don’t sign up for a billion different things with your email. Use Tenminutemail if you can.
- Discord servers are public spaces. Don’t say anything that you wouldn’t say in a public space. You don’t know who has screenshots, you don’t know if your grandmother will join the server a month after you leave. Act accordingly.
- Never use your real name online unless there it is a paid service. Either pick a fictional character, or make an alias up. I’m fond of using HP Lovecraft for websites that are too damn nosey about my name.
- Don’t list your triggers online. You are giving every creep on the street personal info about what makes you tick. If I were a particularly conniving predator, I could lie and say I have been through simmilar trauma to gain your trust. They are criminals, they do that.
- Lying on the internet for the purposes of protecting yourself is always morally okay. That cool joke your best friend told you the other day that you want to post about? Bam! Thats now your sister. Tell the story as you wish. Make everyone who follows you mildly confused about your family tree.
- This goes doubly so when people you know IRL follow you: Never mention if you are home alone or on vacation until after the fact. Don’t post vacation photos until you get home.
- You know those security questions? That you can use to regain your password when you are locked out of something? Most of those are googleable. I reccomend going with something subjective and/or smartass. (Favorite food is better than mothers maiden name.) This is important because if I get into your email, I can get into anything that email is attached to.
- If finding criminals online were easy, the police (and I.) would be out of a job. They are smarter than you think, always err on the side of caution.
...Long Post Below...
Do remember that Kyo is really careful with his thief identity (he is a former ninja after all) and the only time Kyo's identity was suspected by Nobunaga was AFTER Hideyoshi found him on the storehouse (at least in this ES. I still haven't done his MS, sorry). MC nor Suke wouldn't dare to let something slip about Kyo's "other life", perhaps Hide wouldn't unless he had a good reason...
...like using Kyo to ruin those monks to aid Nobunaga. But since the story implied Kyo refused that first offer (when Kyo busted the empty storehouse). Hide might have thought of a way to get Kyo in his plans, like slipping some rumors that Kyoichiro might be Ishikawa Goemon to get Nobunaga to act, thus entrapping Kyo in Kiyosu to make the cotton merchant at severe disadvantage.
"if something should happened outside while you are in here, you will be proven innocent" (-which also means "if nothing happens outside while you are here, you are guilty"-).
Sakuya went to Kyo's house and saw MC and judging by their conversation, Sakuya didn't expect MC to be there (or at least didn't expect that Kyo's "mistress" was the fugitive Tsuki MC). I was led to think Saku went to Kyo's house to assassinate MC but I believe it wasn't the case...So what was Saku doing in Kyo'shouse? Gathering evidence? Maybe. But we do not get to know his REAL reason being there because Hide intervened in an epic fashion.
Hideyoshi is not simple. He plans "two steps ahead" as Kyoichiro would put it. Hide might have "slipped" into Nobunaga about Kyo, he doesn't want him dead. While Nobunaga was busy with his entrapment scheme, Hide anticipated Nobu's methods. He prevented Sakuya from killing MC (or rather he stopped him from gathering evidence against Kyo) with his "presence" since Sakuya is supposedly a secret Oda ninja, therefore he can't act recklessly under Hideyoshi's watch.
In Kyo's pov, Hide used his weirdness and fixation to Kyo's crane to get him to give one to him, not because he want it to be a signal to MC about his predicament in Kiyosu. But in reality, Hide used it as a tool to get MC to act by being the supposed thief and steal something to clear Kyo's name.
So, Hideyoshi became Kyo's benefactor and became indebted to him. Because of this, Kyo ruined those corrupt monks which he would otherwise refuse to do under normal circumstances.
Kyo must have got a sense of Hide's motives as he forged the aliance with him not out of gratitude but only because he "does not want to be on Hideyoshi's bad side". And that statement, tells us something just how far and how "deep" HIDEYOSHI would go to achieve his goals.

If people insult you, that you are a failure, not good enough and your WIPs are useless...it is the devil that speaks. Treat them as if they are madmen, not worthy of your attention.
If people criticize you, like grammar is lacking, need improvement on certain theme, plot or character development, that your phrasing is "wrong" you don't update as often as people hoped ...pause and think about what they say...for even in these harsh feedback you can learn something.
And should the inevitable happen that people give you harsh comment and insults, examine yourself...why did I post my work?
I want to post it for fun...That is good!
I want to post it for likes...well...
If there is anything I learned, I never post my work without accepting these facts...
...THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO WILL HATE IT...
...THAT PETTY RIVALS WILL USE ANON TO ATTACK ME, THINKING IT WILL DESTROY ME...
Cheers!

Could you please give me something like a list of things that need to be determined about a character, more than just age, height, gender and things like that, please i need like a list of as many as possible 💕💕💕 your blog is a miracle
I will try my best. This is a list I usually try to conform to (but I have it stored in my head, rather than as a physical list, so apologies if it doesn’t make much sense…!):
Character motivation. What are they doing? Why are they doing it?
Backstory. What happened before their debut in the story?
Greatest fear. Speaks for itself; what do they fear most?
Relationships with other characters. Who do they like? Who do they not like? Who opposes them? Who helps them? Who are they related to (by blood, or circumstance)?
Main personality traits. Positive ones, and negative ones.
Moral limits. What will they absolutely not do? What would they consider doing to meet their goal?
Attitudes/Opinions. What are the main issues in your story’s world, and what is this character’s opinion on it? How do they behave towards other characters, based on their opinions of them? Who or what do they consider to be below them? What behaviours do they choose to do or not do, which gives them a sense of importance/self-esteem (i.e. being tee-total, going to church every Sunday w/o fail, always adopting pets, rather than buying them, etc)?
Abilities. Either magical, or non-magical depending on your setting. What are they best at? What are they not so good at?
Speaking skills/conventions. How do they sound when they speak? What is their vocabulary like? How do they manage/behave in everyday conversations?
Education. According to your world’s standards, how educated is the character?
Family. How were they brought up? What was their family situation like?
Friendships. Which friendships do they value the most? How many friends do they have? How easily can they make friends?
Sexual/romantic relationships. How many relationships has the character committed to? Can they commit to relationships? How do they behave when in a relationship? How do they feel about other people’s relationships?
Work. What do they think about work? What kind of work would they like to do? What kind of work are they doing? If the character is a student, then consider their work ethic, their favourite subjects, etc.
Sense of self. What is your character’s self-image like? How do they feel about themselves? What do they think about themselves in relation to other people (i.e. how do they compare themselves to somebody else?).
Health. Speaks for itself; what is this character’s health like? In the past, in the present, and in the future?
Housekeeping. How do they live, in an everyday setting? Are they tidy, or messy? What things do they consider to be necessary to a daily routine, and what things do they consistently forget about/deem to be unimportant?
Politics. How they view society, and what should be done in a ‘civil’ society. What they think of their world’s politics. How they might ‘class’ themselves.
Religion. Their views on life, death, and creation. Their understanding of their ‘purpose’, or their beliefs in how everything came to be.
Tastes. In fashion, food, and anything else you might think of.
I hope this helps, Anon! Maybe some of our followers might reblog this and add extra things, or you might think of extra things you can add yourself. Feel free to do so, if this is the case!
