Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
The Social Network - Blog Posts
is there any characters u based the 4 mcs off (ren, ichi, ni, and san)
yesyes! theres a lot so let me list them š
starting off strong w renā¦
the first inspiration behind ren (despite being a competent character in the novelization, he did have a lot of gaps that needed to be filled in) isnāt the real mark zuckerbergā rather jesse eisenbergās portrayal in āthe social networking,ā both are condescending geniuses who are socially distant (though in rens case its by choice, in marks choice its not)
additionally, just as mark screwed over eduardo in the movie (and presumably real life) ren was planning on screwing over walter simmons the moment he was no longer useful.
the most important similarity is both thrive on being the smartest person in the room AND being painfully aware of it, silently resenting those who they deem as less intelligent.
thatās where rens similarities with mark end, as heās not a hideous bigot, mechagodzilla was renās idea whereas mark is portrayed as a thief who steals concepts, rens motivations are deeply personal while marks are for people to like him, and lastly, marks social climb is about status, rens is about control and a vendetta.
the second inspiration behind ren is chris manawa from fear the walking dead, both had morally up-right, no-nonsense fathers who tried to do the right thing even if their sons had a different vision of what was right. (ishiro and travis, respectively.)
they both became disillusioned and villainous, drifting away from their fatherās ethics by choice.. additionally, they had a similar radicalizationā each dealt with the death of their mother in isolation with little to no support.
however, the descent of chris is a common trope in twduā survival, desensitization, and seeing the new world as a ruleless land where they can do whatever they want, renās descent is driven by vengeance, ambition, childhood frustrations, and a god complex.
ren is also more calculated and wouldnāt be foolish enough to meet the fate chris did.
as some of you may know, one of the main inspirations behind ghidorahs voice was smile 2, and a lot of the events in the early chapters of ghidorahs voice mirror smile 2.
for example, both ren and skye suffer hallucinations after a traumatic eventā skye after the drug-induced crash, ren after the mechagodzilla electrocution.
the mirror scene where skye hallucinating louis (luis?) in the mirror is a direct parallel to ren hallucinating ishiro in chapter 3.
ghidorah parallels the smile entity, theyāre both persistent, supernatural forces that feed on trauma and slowly erodes the mind. however, in ghidorahs case, he doesnāt kill ren, he molds ren into controller x by cutting off all of rens options.
both ren and skye try to navigate public scrutiny while desperately trying to rationalize what theyāre seeingā skye as a pop star, ren as an infamous nepo-baby who destroyed an entire city.
ren waking up from a coma and facing legal/ethical battles echoes skyeās return from tragedy.
like skye dismissing morrisā warnings, ren dismisses bernies warnings because he finds bernie annoying and has a deep ātheres a scientific explantation to EVERYTHINGā value instilled in him.
on a more comedic note, the next one is ryan howard. walter simmons is rens michael scottā a buffoonish, self-important boss ren both tolerates and despises depending on what walter could contribute in rens conquest to kill godzilla.
like ryan, ren is the āgolden boyā who is expected to rise fast but they both harbor bitterness and ambition, not caring who they have to step on to reach their goals.
however, ryanās downfall is due to incompetence and egoā heās lazy and self-sabotaging, ren is anything but lazy, rens downfall is more about flying too close to the sun, emotional instability and three headed alien forces.
in short, ryan is played for comedy, ren is steeped in tragic horror.
back to the tragic note, one of rens biggest inspirations was junior wheeler from chucky. (anyone who knew me in 2021 knew i was DEVASTATED when he kicked the bucket and was in straight denial for months) junior is manipulated by chucky, ren by ghidorahā though not to the same extent, as ren is intelligent enough to see ghidorah is using him, but an enemy of his enemy is his friend.. however, this doesnāt change how both are essentially possessed by malevolent forces praying on vulnerability.
both characters lashing out and transformations into killers are tied to emotional repression and manipulation.
additionally, from the dialogue to the context, ghidorah finally convincing ren his own humanity is whats holding him back is directly inspired by this scene
back to differences, juniors arc is short-lived and tragic, rens is longer and more strategic, involving tech, politics, and global stakes.
junior died as a teenager and didnāt fully understand what he was doing, while rens frontal lobe is fully developed, and not only does ren embrace what hes doing, he even tries to justify it.
lastly for ren is the salesman from squid game, both are lapdogs to greater powers (the salesman to the frontman, ren to ghidorah.)
they both project confidence and control but are ultimately servants trying to feel special in a system they dont control.
both (at least after ren adopts the persona of x) have a certain aesthetic flair, masking their true insignificance.
as for ichi, his biggest inspiration is..
princess blister from wings of fire! both are the most cunning and manipulative of their respective trios, they act as the ābrainsā of the operationā always plotting several steps ahead, enjoying mind games and psychological warfare.
ichi and blister have a similar way of disguising their ruthlessness with eloquence, additionally, they both also donāt give the facade much effortā snapping the moment they get called out.
both were turned into dust š
both are narcissistic, believing they are the rightful rulers and vastly superior to those around them.
naturally, since ichi is inspired by blister..
ni is inspired by princess burn! ni, like burn, enjoys cruelty for his own sakeā not mindless brutality, but calculated, indulgent violence.
both ni and burn are often underestimated as āthe muscleā and nothing else, but they show tactical awareness when it benefits them. just like burn using queen scarlet as a shield from glorys venom, ni is the kind of guy who would sacrifice anyone to gain an edge or survive.
the next for ni is nam-gyu from squid game (nam-gyu referring to other players as cockroaches was my direct inspo for ghidorah referring to humans as cockroaches), both are right hand figuresā ni to ichi, nam-gyu to thanos, both act loyal but are really in it for their own gain and survival.
they both have a duality of superiority and inferiority complexesā they feel like theyāre the most dangerous out of their respective groups, yet simmer with resentment at being second to someone else.
just like how nam-gyu only truly respects thanos, ni only respects ichiā but even then, that respect is overshadowed by envy and loathing.
both revel in mocking those weaker than them, even more so if they sense emotional vulnerability.
for san, as i stated in chapter 20, his main inspiration is..
agatha harkness! san, like agatha, enjoys manipulating the emotions of others (ren and wanda respectively) under the guise of charisma or humor.
both are showboats, loving dramatic reveals, flashy speeches, and being the most memorable individual in the roomā even if that means coming off as a nuisance and being hated.
do u think mark zuckerberg and andrew garfield ever explored each otherās bodies
fuck it. Kenstewy you pusillanimous piece of fucking foolās gold hand covers bruise edit

You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But youāre going to go through life thinking that girls donāt like you because youāre a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that wonāt be true. Itāll be because youāre an asshole.Ā

Top 5 Andrew Garfield Movies
Andrew Garfield is one of my favourite actors of all time. He is good looking and exceptionally talented. I have watched most of his movies and just cant help falling in love with this brilliant actor. I am naming top 5 of his movies below:
1. Hacksaw Ridge: It is a historical/biography film. Andrew Garfield played the character ofĀ āDesmond Dossā. This movie is a masterpiece and very heart touching. It is completely different from other war films. You will never get bored watching this. Garfieldās performance was outstanding in this film. He was nominated for the best actor in a leading role in Academy Award 2017 for his performance in the film.
2. Silence: It is also a historical/biography film. Here Garfield potrayed the character ofĀ āSebastiao Rodriguesā. This movie is based on strong belief in faith and the Creator. The movie makes us feel and think about our religion, makes us love and respect our Creator. I personally think this movie is a kind of gift to humanity.Ā
3. Breathe: It is a drama/biography/romance film. Andrew Garfield played the character ofĀ āRobin Cavendishā. This is different kind of romantic film. This is an inspiring film. The life struggle of robin and Diana teaches us not to give up our hopes on anyhting and teaches us to live our life no matter what the situation is.
4. The Social Network: It is a biography film. Garfield played the character ofĀ āEduardo Saverinā who is the friend of Mark Zuckerberg. This movie is about founding facebook, the success of facebook and the clash between two best friends after founding facebbok. It is different from other such biography films and not boring at all.
5. 99 Homes: It is a crime/thriller film. Garfield played the character ofĀ āDennis Nashā. Here the character of Garfield was neither good nor bad. It was a different kind of film which represented the struggle of the only earning member of the family to hold his family together and make his family happy.
iāve been asked to make little site. Soā¦I made āTheFacebookā resembling thing. Screenshot was taken from not my laptop
It's springā¦I think it's time to return to era of The Social Network
āIn my restless dreams, I see that collegeā¦Harvard, and I see them, the Facebook foundersā
(Whose aesthetic should I make next?)
i really donāt know why iām coming back in depressed-like state, i donāt wanna seem a crybaby too much. like, i donāt have any issues now, my grades are not bad, i have tons of friends around me - but still, like i was saying earlier: iām crying almost every night, i feel some sort of pain inside me, like iāve done anything wrong or seen something too sad (hello spider-man vids from tiktok-). i hope it will pass soon, because i don't wanna go back to that state, when I was not eating well or sleeping well again
abt video, actually iām not kidding. When i stopped making something good out of myself, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. but donāt think iām that bad, i still have some feelings unlike zuccey
oh god i love jessie eisenberg so much
