#lethesomething

Since there appears to be some Purge Panic, I’d like to tell you all where to find me, should this ship finally sink and make me leave one hell site for another.

I just finished backing up and queueing my entire blog (at least my own posts and some  reblogs I exported with permission) to Wordpress. I’m lethesomething there.

I have a twitter for my anime needs, @lethey, which i fear I don’t post much on now but again, one hell site for another.

I have a pillowfort that i’m still experimenting with, as lethesomething,

and of course you can find me on AO3, again, as LetheSomething. I’m not not putting links in because I guess Oath has, for the first time in months, taken a look at Tumblr and decided to just break All the Things.

If you are downloading the app through the Google Play Store or the Apple iTunes store, and they are coming directly from a publisher you trust, then you should have no worries about the app version being hacked.

That being said, I’m sure what you are seeing is this prompt

If we go to the play store (I use Android) and we look for the matching icon, the matching icon tells us this:

Upon doing some searching on the internet, I found two possible explanations for the prompt. One of the sites I found called this prompt the “least understood permission of them all.”

First explanation, you are playing the game and your phone rings. The game needs to know that your phone is ringing so it can kick you out to pick up the call. I’m not sure why there is a need to give the app permission for this, as it seems to be something you would expect to happen, but for some reason, you have to okay the app to do this.

The other is when there is an error in your game and you use the contact form in the game, the form will pull your phone’s identifying information such as your model number, your phone’s unique identifier, are you on wifi or data, ect so that they can further troubleshoot to see if this is an issue unique to you or to identify a pattern among a group of phones having the same issue.

That being said, if you are concerned about a prompt you are seeing when you download an app, then I would suggest you just search the prompt on the internet and see what people are saying about it. 

And then if you are still concerned about the prompt after finding answers, then I wouldn’t download the app/game.

Edit: Since there seems to be the just slightest confusion about what I wrote, let me be clear: IkeRev does not have access to your phone number nor can it make outgoing calls. 

This is what a prompt to make outgoing calls looks like. 

The only way for an app to know your phone number is if you give it to them.

For example, the above is the permissions I give to LINE. Giving LINE my phone number let’s them know I’m in the US and then I can’t proxy to have access to the Japan sticker store. (lol) So, without me telling them my number, they can’t confirm that info.

So this is my gift fic for the amazing @lethesomething.

It’s got KuroDai and traveling and magic and big mysterious stuff. I really had a lot of fun planning this out. And I really really hope that you enjoy reading.

Viktor is pretty good at driving for a Russian. I mean, he’s nothing extraordinary, but he’ll get the job done.

Yuuri is the worst driver of them all. It’s a hazard to be in the same car as him. Don’t do it.

Phichit is also pretty average. He has the bad habit of speeding sometimes though, but that’s mostly because he’s often late.

Chris is a bit below average. He usually butchers the turns. His parking is also a mess.

Erm, @lethesomething tagged me, so here I am.

1) How many works in progress to do you currently have in progress?

Hahahaha, funny you should ask.

I have the ongoing Bakugou and Kiri fics, which people probably think I’ve abandoned, but are more like stewing on the back burner. I started and stalled, in that order, a request for Himuro, a fluff fic for Todoroki, and a BnHA desert fantasy fic whose characters are a secret. I also keep attempting to finish a Tamaki fluff one shot but that’s not happening. And just the other day I started another thing on my phone...

2) Do you/would you write fan fiction?

I never thought I would, but here I am.

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

I like both. I do read a lot of ebooks because they’re cheaper, but a lot of my favourites I own in paper.

4) When did you start writing?

Hmm, when I was about eight? That’s when I definitely remember. Funnily enough, I never used to write prose until I started writing fanfics. I wrote lots of poetry until I was fifteen or so, and I used to do that for competitions and stuff. I started writing fanfiction around December last year.

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

Well, poor @lethesomething usually takes the brunt of my frustration, and my beleaguered family often helps me with plot without actually knowing what said plot is. I know some amazing people. 

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

At home, but also in quiet cafes. Also, I recently discovered, a museum’s front desk?

7) Favourite childhood book?

This is a very difficult question! Lots of stuff by Enid Blyton - Willow Farm, Faraway Tree, the Family stories etc. Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also really loved classics like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the Swiss Family Robinson.

8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?

It’s very rare for me to not have fun writing, so there’s really no difference for me.

9) Pen and paper or computer?

I do like writing by hand, but my handwriting isn’t great and it hurts after a while. So computer it is.

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

No, not really.

11) What inspires you to write?

If you mean writing as a process, I like the challenge of finding the right words and interesting phrases to describe things. I love reading reader reactions to works, I think it’s a big motivator. As for writing specific plots, well, it could be a conversation I had with someone, a random but intriguing thought, or really wanting to mess with a trope.

how is your dutch these days? ��
