#I don't like that it's at 249 now 😂

[onepiece-polls]

Sorting through all of the submissions is going to be hell (because almost no one writes names the same or in the same order).

Anyway, who's going to be the 250th submission?

[itlivesproject]

Listen, I'm suspicious of Matthias's sneaky ass, but there's something I wanna understand So ILW takes place in autumn 2021 (I did the analysis ages ago based on the characters' ages) and Matthias's birthday is June 11 (so he's already had that year's birthday by the events of the book). Then in chapter 17 he says he's coming up on his 250th birthday (which doesn't necessarily mean he's 249 because he could be rounding, but for the purpose of this ask, I'll take his words more literally and say he's 249). Now, this would make his actual birthday June 11, 1772. BUT THEN he's apparently L.J. (🤨) and if I remember the year correctly, there's a lore doc written by L.J. dating back to 1782 in which he says he's become a father, and I know people might have had kids young back then, but not at frickin' ten (and L.J. was the older brother AND he was already married, when I think the legal age for that back then would've been about 14 for him). And he'd be younger if we didn't take Matthias's comment about his age at face value and supposed he might be a bit farther from reaching 250 than 249, so..... Yeah, no, Matthias, the math ain't mathing cause he done slipped up and I'm begging MC to add those numbers up Also, this turned out super long so oops but great work so far, y'all :)

i feel like i meant to answer this a long time ago... but tbh if the dates don't add up that's our fault not matthias's 😂 mans is too clever to make a simple mathematical mistake. us?? not so much

Okay, now that I've had some time to rewatch and mull over all the information we have so far, I'm going to try and lay out my thoughts. It's gonna get long, I'd meant to do a strictly novel analysis of the scene before it aired, but life got in the way as usual. But I'm kind of glad, 'cause now I can compare the two.

There will be discussion of both the show and the novel below the cut, so if you're not interested in the novel or spoilers please pass this post by.

I'm going to start this off by saying that I am truly happy with the changes they've made in the show when it comes to the consensual aspect of the story between Kinn and Porsche. Also, as a warning, I'm going to be pulling personal experiences out to try and get my thoughts across properly. And, I don't do posts like this, like ever, so sorry if I make zero sense or talk way too much. I just have a lot of thoughts, and on the rare occasion my brain allows me to comprehensively share those thoughts, I need to take advantage.

Let's start this off from the beginning of episode 4. Porsche wakes up in Pete's bed, knows he kissed someone, can't remember, and spends the rest of the first half of the episode trying to piece things together. I know we like to joke about Porsche having a single braincell (and honestly sometimes boy... lol) but he's not an idiot and he does know how to read people. You can't be a good bartender or survive taking care of your family, young and alone, without having a decent grasp on human nature.

I think when Kinn called him up to the balcony and started asking him questions he left that conversation with a flickering of oh, I remember something happened and now Kinn is acting strangely (a theme he vocalizes later in the sauna). I think he's thinking, what did I do this time to make Kinn act so strangely (soft and flirtatious and joking around) towards me?

After he sees Kinn with his escort, realizes Kinn is gay, remembers what happened on the pier, and that what happened wasn't something he did but Kinn kissing him, he asks Pete if you should kiss someone you don't like (and the subtitles changed so don't at me...) , or aren't in a relationship with (or perhaps intentionally pursuing because you like them). Now, obviously, you can kiss people you don't like, but perhaps are just physically attracted to, and I'm sure something is lost in the translation. That or I'm just reading too much into it and Pete saying you only kiss people you like, 'cause baby boy, that ain't true. Side note, I have a feeling Pete might come to realize it isn't true when we get to the point of him with Vegas, but that's an entirely different egg to crack open. (I have also not read that far.)

Now, here, is where I want to point out just how differently Porsche reacts to what happened and how fucking ecstatic I am that they changed it completely. In the novel, Porsche struggles with a lot of internalized homophobia, though he's okay with Yok, who is trans, he mentions it took him some time to be okay with her, but he still recoils at people he thinks might be gay or someone of the same gender expressing interest in him. He frequently compliments men's looks, not just in a friendly way, and thinks about how attractive some men are, Kinn especially. In the novel, once he really realizes he's physically and sexually attracted to Kinn, Porsche has a fucking meltdown of an internal crisis over it. He even goes as far as hitting on all his guy friends trying to reason out why Kinn would be behaving the way he is towards him, and why he kind of likes it (but doesn't, but does, but doesn't etc.). The boy is a mess and in complete denial.

I'm assuming a lot here, and reading between the lines, but how I interpreted it was, Porsche had, at some point in his youth, like a lot of queer youth, gotten a lot of negative feedback about same sex attraction that really dug into his bones, and so whenever he feels anything more than friendship towards another man he freaks out and tries to bury it, all the while wanting it so badly he can't stop himself. i.e. kissing Kinn back and allowing Kinn to essentially do whatever he pleases while being vocally grumpy about it. In the novel, he doesn't know who he is when it comes to his sexuality, he's deep in denial about being bi, and actively fights against it.

The show ripped that all away and gave us the true chaotic bi king we love and adore, and who he should have been in the novel imo. Show Porsche is open, honest to a fault, accepting, understanding. Now, we haven't gotten verbal confirmation that Porsche is bi in the show, but from everything I've witnessed so far I feel safe in saying he's bi, pan, or just plainly doesn't give a fuck as long as he's getting pleasure from his encounters. He seems open to Kinn's attraction as well as his own, though to say for certain we will have to wait until episode 5, where I'm hoping they touch on this subject some more, and I hope it's on the good side in line with the changes from novel Porsche we've gotten so far. (I'm down for some turmoil about him having sex with his boss, but please keep the biphobia out please please).

As much as I'd like to get more into the lead up to the real juicy stuff, I just don't have the energy. So, let's get into the gritty of it, shall we? The drugging scene. We finally made it here. A lot faster than I was expecting? Absolutely. Does it still feel organic after the previous three episodes? If Kinn hadn't said Porsche had been at the compound for a month, yes, but since he did, no.

Porsche has been with Kinn, Khun, the other bodyguards, for a whole month. He's been learning, adjusting, actively trying to become a better bodyguard. The reasons behind his change of heart seem to be him finally coming to the realization of what a serious situation he's landed himself in. It's life or death, his life isn't the only one on the line here, it's everyone around him as well. He's clearly beginning to really care about the well-being of his fellow bodyguards (mainly Pete, Arm, Pol) and Khun and Kinn.

Also, after episode 3, it was clear to me that Porsche finds Kinn physically attractive, and I do believe wanting some kind of approval from Kinn was another motivator. He's curious about Kinn, he's attracted to him, he's leaning into it.

Kinn, poor baby, is having a beautiful emotional crisis, and a lot of that I think is thanks to Mile really pouring his entire being into fleshing Kinn out and turning him into a "well" rounded person rather than the power hungry, totally domineering, bastard asshole, very surface, no depth, Kinn we have in the novel. The changes they've made to Kinn are fucking delightful, and I'm adoring the added depth and emotional vulnerability they've given him.

In the novel, Vegas sexually assaults Porsche. Without penetration, but Kinn does find him in his underwear with marks all over his body. This was one of the parts I was most worried about them adapting in the show. (I will note here, I have not read past the official translation of 1/4 of the novel--which ends with my favorite spicy scene so far and god I hope they give it to us!--the rest I have sought out from fans so it's not a complete picture). The change they made was nice (as nice as beginning to assault someone can be...), and I'm glad we didn't have to go that far. They've clearly changed Vegas a bit, though how much is yet to be seen. I'm holding my judgment for now.

Kinn's internal monologue during the drugging scene is, well, rough to say the least. But that can be said for the novel as a whole. Reading it felt like reading a fic written by a teenager from the early 00's, and not in the good way. Kinn seems like a consent King, but after telling Porsche he'd stop if Porsche told him to, he doesn't. He fucks Porsche all night long, to the point of needing to take him to the hospital the next day because he's bleeding heavily and in a lot of pain. It has its hot moments, but it's rough and gross, and I'm so glad it's been changed in the show.

What the show gave us is stunning in comparison. What the show gave us is fucking beautiful imo. Porsche, after remembering Kinn kissed him, after witnessing him with his escort, after listening to Pete, Porsche takes all of that information and once again, leans into it. He goads Kinn, he flirts with him, he asks him questions not any normal bodyguard would ask. "If your brother didn't give me up, would you even think to take me back?" Any other guard wouldn't give a shit, but Porsche needs to know. There are so many reasons this could be, but I think the main factors are a need for approval, his newfound desire to protect this family, his attraction and curiosity for Kinn, and a need to prove himself as a competent man, which he is in all rights when he puts his mind to something.

There's also something to be said about an unspoken and underlying desire to be cared for, something Porsche has never really had for most of his life. He's always been the caretaker, for Che, for his uncle even. I know y'all noticed how good he is at taking care of Tankhun? It's because he's in a familiar roll, he knows how to do this with ease. Kinn on the other hand? Someone who doesn't need coddling and caring for? He doesn't know how to handle that, but after his initial rebellion, after seeing some different sides of Kinn, he wants back in. I think, subconsciously at this point, he sees how Kinn would take care of him and he wants it.

Yes, Porsche is drugged. Yes, being under the influence makes consent iffy, but it does not mean Porsche did not give his consent or wasn't able to. Porsche may not have given verbal consent, what he did do is give consent in every other possible way, and that is what Kinn responded to. Porsche joked with Kinn about wanting to see him naked, playfully slapped his hands away, and each time Kinn respectfully pulled back. Those examples are a clear lack of consent, and Kinn responded appropriately to them. But as soon as Porsche changed gears so did Kinn, still yet with reluctance because of Porsche's state and also his brewing feelings. It wasn't one-sided, it was a push and pull on both ends.

I know there will be some who disagree with me, and that's fine. I'm pulling from my own experiences here, and what I saw in episode 4 was consensual and not rape in the slightest. I've done a lot of things in my 30+ years that I'm not proud of, certainly, but even fall-over drunk, even sky-high on drugs, I was able to give and deny consent. Was it a good idea? Of course not. Do I have regrets? Some. But being young and reckless, well, me and Porsche seem to have that in common. I mean, Porsche is in his early twenties, and my early twenties were quite literally a blur of alcohol, drugs, parties, and bad (but fun) decisions.

Porsche was high as a kite, but he was also coherent. Porsche was the one pulling Kinn in. Porsche was the one verbally and non-verbally saying yes, please, I know you want this, I want it too can't you see? Let me show you. Not to mention, no sugarcoating, having sex when you're high is fucking awesome and, frankly, I don't think this is a first for Porsche. Also, I want to mention, and this is really important, if you throw up while you're high it does sober you up a bit. It dampens the experience and brings you back into your mind. I can say this with absolute certainty, I've done it several times.

Another thing I want to point out in regard to consent is Porsche never once told Kinn no. Never once did he tell him to stop. Porsche was smiling constantly, he was taking initiative, he was undressing Kinn himself, he wanted all of what happened. Will he regret it the next day? Probably. We will have to wait and see. But bottom line, the show changed this scene for the better, a lot better.

Anyway, this was less of an analysis and more of a thought word vomit 'cause I've been wanting to talk about this scene for weeks now, and I'm also sick and tired of people saying it was rape in the tags. Kinn did not rape Porsche. Porsche gave non-verbal consent, and yes it is possible to give consent when under the influence, even if it's not a good idea. This is not the hill we need to be dying on. Let's wait for VegasPete for that, shall we?

Please, do not fucking come for me. I'm down to discuss, but I will not respond to bullshit. Thanks. ❤️

So, how long was Pete in Vegas' torture dungeon before they moved to the safehouse? How long was Pete tied to that pillar? When was the last time Pete took a shower? Mans has been sweating profusely for a day or two at least and Vegas just... licks him? Sir, ya nasty. Good for you.

My #1 post of 2022

I just can't get this particular moment out of my head. It just keeps replaying again and again, and I lose my mind a little bit more each time because Pete is taller than Vegas but that moment after he first kisses him and Vegas kisses him back he drops down like his knees gave out on him. He kissed Vegas and it made him weak in the knees. He kissed Vegas and his knees gave out. He kissed Vegas and his knees gave out. He kissed he he knees he kissed Vegas and knees he gave out he

Omg look at these BOYS! AHHHHHHHHHH

Okay now I'm gonna finally do the part 2 for the charts

So if you're interested strap on in and let's GOOOOOO

JUST A HEADS UP THIS PART IS VERY MATH HEAVY!

U hath been warned

So we have a part one which I'll link right here for the other chart explanations since they show up on this one too. Since I'm fucking lazy, for convenience, and don't wanna explain it again 😂. Plus the fact I couldn't fit all the photos here again. 😂

So I'm just gonna get straight (even tho I'm anything but STRAIGHT) to the point, so this chart is a for new events that are released.

*slaps new chart down*

As u can see there is only really one chart added here

Which would be this one!

*slaps down chart*

I do apologize for my cursor being in the pic. I'm lazy and I didnt wanna take a new photo.

SUE ME

Anyways as u can see there's grayed out areas and stuff.

For the following categories

Ad battles (I normally don't do these in LD & I just assumed nobody else did so oh well)

One of the most important ones THE CHEAT card BOOST. I'll explain it in just a few.

Now the Cheat card one will vary person to person. This time my boost is stupidly high (I REALLY WANTED THE SATAN CARD OKAY!!! HES SO PRETTYY)

If you don't like math I suggest this part u skip. Cuz I enjoy math and I think doing it in this context is enjoyable.

Edit: a lot of my math is pretty accurate for when you have gotten far enough in the game where you just 3 star all the event battles! So plz be warned that the math may not look exactly like this if your just starting out. It may look different for u depending on how many stars u get per battle!

normally the base item at 120 per battle, so depending on if u have any cheat cards & how many you have this might help. So with my boost at 129, I add that to the base total of 120 & I get 249. The math as follows

120+Y= 249

In this case Y is the boost you have

120+129=249

Now I'll explain my formulas here. As u can see I multiplied 249 by 3 (since there's 3 battles per stage) to get 747. Which is the amount of items I get per stage and typically there's 13 stages in a chapter/lesson.

Yx3= X

Where X is the answer to have many items per stage u get:

249x3= 747

And if there's 13 stages in one chapter if there is 2 chapters I count and check. In this case chapter 2 also has 13 stages.

So 13x2= 26 so overall you have 26 stages with 3 battles each.

Now to figure out the items I would be getting in one day if I three stared all the stages I used this formula

(Ax26)+(Bx5)= C

Where A is the Value of the total items u get for one stage (three battles) which in my case it's 747

B is the number of items u get for one battle

& C is the answer

I take the over all number I got from the amount of items I got in one stage and multiple it by 26. But that's not the best part since we get 5+ ads to get 5 extra battles I have to take that into consideration.

So my formula looks a little bit like this

(747x26)+(249x5)= 20,667

Now the only way I can test this math is by doing the actual event and would ya LOOK AT THAT

My numbers match up!!!! :D

Now to calculate how many items for each day

Multiply the total amount from one day by the amount of days you have been doing the event

For simple

AxB = C (no these don't go with the uses from before in this formula)

Which in my case would be

20,667x2= 41,334

And so on and so forth for each day u wanna write down. But what happens if you mess up one or more of the dance BATTLES? u may ask?

Well HEHEHE HAVE I GOT U! CUZ I DID THAT EXACT THING!

*Slaps photo down*

In which I wrote out all the math here in this photo above! To make it easier on myself! Plus that way my formulas were properly adjusted in the case I messed up. So there was evidence and proof of all the numbers & formulas changing. Making it much easier to follow along and adjust as needed.

But NOW U may be asking what about the events WITH THE KEYS?!?

To which I respond with I have accounted for that! SO with all of this into consideration the keys and two paths THE MATH WILL CHANGE slightly for that!

I got y'all! Don't worry!

*slaps down more NOTES & MY CHART*

So the math correlates and changes here as u can see! With the examples I have provided!

And the math changed for about 4 days in total for me

So I had to adjust the amount of battles happening and how many keys I got and which stages I unlocked to change the math as u can see. And for each day I would calculate the number of items and then add the previous total to the following day.

For example:

Day one(from the I KID u not event as that's the only one I have data on with keys) went as follows

With the math from earlier with the cheat cards in play:

With a boost of 7 I add that to 120 mean for one battle I'd get 127 items. Then multiple that number by 3 of one stage of battle equaling 381.

So the math looking like this

Ex:

120+7=127

&

127x3 = 381

Which makes this part the same as the others but since its a keyed event that means specific stages at blocked off until u get the appropriate amount of keys to unlock more stages and story. until all of it is eventually unlocked.

Which means the number of battles in stage 2 changes with each passing day.

So to figure that out I wrote down what stages I unlocked for each day and which ones I could get keys from. Which means I had to slightly modify my math for a few days. Which means I don't have 26 stages in total to get battles from.

And I'll add a photo instead of u scrolling back up through my math to understand this

So on day one I only had 21 stages (instead of the normal 26) plus the 5 extra ad battles to get keys from (and when its a a key event I almost always use the ads to snag extra keys in hopes of unlocking more stages to get keys from.)

Now for the examples to showcase my work and explain it as best as I can going forward from here:

Big example here

So instead of my formula looking like in the photo it changes to this instead on Day 1.

Ex:

(381x21)+(127x5) = 8,636

For a total of 8,636 items on Day 1.

But here's where it can get a bit confusing is Day 2.

Since u still can't multiple everything to get a solid answer.

But I came up with an easy solution for that. As stated in my notes on Day 2 I unlocked two more stages to get keys from. Meaning that the total battles changes to 23 instead of 21. So I now change the math from this:

Ex:

(381x21)+(127x5) = 8,636

to this:

Ex:

(381x23)+(127x5) = 9,398

But how do we account for the previous days items?

EASY PEASY! We just add the previous days items to the equation like so

Ex:

((381x23)+(127x5))+ 8,636 = 18,034

For ur new daily total! And for each day I counted how many stages i unlock and then added the previous days items into the equation

So for my day 3 (not including the new summons i did) it would be as follows:

Ex:

((381x24)+(127x5))+ 18,034= 27,813

And lastly my Day 4 in which I finally unlocked all the stages making the math finally look like this,

Ex:

((381x26)+(127x5))+ 27,813= 38,354

And you keep adding the total so on and so forth until the event ends to keep getting ur new total!

So u skipped all the math u COWARDS (JK JK ILY)

To sum up BIG MATH BRAIN FIGURES OUT HOW MANY ITEMS U GET FOR UR OVER TOTAL. and how many times days it takes for u to unlock specific stages with keys.

It doesn't change by much but hopefully this is HELPFUL! If y'all have any questions feel free to ask me in my DMS!

I hope this MAKES EVERYTHING EASIER TO UNDERSTAND!

Also of u read this far I really appreciate u 🥺🥺🥺. Thanks for dealing & listening to my nerdy ass taking about my spread sheets. I worked really hard on them and to make them super efficient.

And if anyone wants I'm willing to make a blank template for ur own personal use.

AND I hope and wish u all HAPPY EVENT FARMING/card upgrading
