i love world fool news what an underrated anime, it’s genuinely funny and the art style is just amazing lol

my favorite episode is when world fool news reports on an organization that’s promoting “positive language to describe tsunamis” 💀 and then it just cuteifies the tsunami as a hungry storm lmao (I also liked the babys character arc though)

I don’t care that this post is years old because I found it and I need to show that world fool news isn’t extinct in the modern era

I wish the makeup artist got more screen time, I don’t think she’s in part II

I watched this 3 times because I was trying to edit it in a funny style in like 9th grade 💀

I found this randomly and was hit with a wave of memories because For All Mankind is actually a pretty interesting show. And I’ve heard news that Apple TV is filming a season 5 that will be released somewhere in late 2025 so what a great time to bring it up again✨.

Like I used to be somewhat interested in it, I watched a bit of it, and it was my go-to answer for when well-meaning people asked what I like to watch because “I like the j edgar movie” is a little off-putting. (it’s hard to convince people that you like the show but you don’t like the actual historical figure in the show with is totally fair).

No I do not know the entire lore and backstory of For All Mankind but I just really admire the cinematography and how the story is structured like the creators reached a wide audience due to their pure dedication to this show 😭

For All Mankind - 1x10 - Forgive me but from the outside looking in you have it pretty good. You’re married to an astronaut. The whole country worships you. Sitting there in your big, beautiful living rooms, listening to your husbands in space on your squawk boxes. So if you’re looking for someone to feel sorry for you, just don’t look here. There are a lot of people who don’t have–I’m sorry. Everything going on the past couple of days, I… It’s okay. 

Five Days of Yam-Pak Movies ～ Day 1: Madam Yun // 芸娘 (dir. Chu Kea / 珠璣, 1960) - starring Yam Kim Fai (任劍輝) and Pak Suet Sin (白雪仙)

Summary and more information under the cut!

Summary Inspired by Shen Fu/沈復's Qing Dynasty autobiography Six Records of a Floating Life/浮生六記. Madam Yun focuses on Shen Fu (Yam Kim Fai) and his wife Yun (Pak Suet Sin), who live in married bliss with their children at the former’s familial home. However, they fall foul of the machinations of Shen Fu’s younger half-brother, who has designs on the inheritance, and are summarily kicked out. The young family struggle to adjust to their poverty, but their plight is worsened by Yun becoming chronically ill; these desperate straits result in Shen Fu having to leave his family behind in search of paying work. Thankfully, after all his efforts he is able to find a benefactor, and the family is reunited under one roof (which is, sadly, not what happened in real life).

I just finished the second week of uni. It went by really quickly, it's been good. I don't have much work yet so I've been getting back into substack lately.

I made an instagram account specifically for my writing, it's @thatswhytheycallmeanitaa, i hope you follow it. I also hope you follow my substack, you won't regret it.

I'm currently reading Antigone, for uni; it always makes me tear up. I'm writing a lot, in fact I will post an essay on substack tomorrow (hopefully).

Substack is a strange place, just as tumblr or letterboxd are, it's hard to find a community there, plus nobody I know in real life ever uses any of these apps. Most of my Substack followers and subscribers are people I know irl who decided to subscribe to do me a favor, but they never read, like or comment on my posts; it's discouraging.

For all my life I've thought the only possible job I could ever have was to be a writer or artist, now, already in university, I fear people might not want to consume my art; I fear being invisible.

Maybe this is weird, but I'm scared. I've only ever wanted to write, and to have people consume my writing.

Anyways, I'm going crazy but I still love all of you,

Xx, lots of love,

Anna

Golden-age hollywood, especially the more niche parts (not just Marilyn Monroe even though she’s very cool). Topics such as Alla Nazimova’s circle, Dorothy Arzner, the original creator of Mädchen in Uniform etc. Even just the more raunchy films or music pre-Hays code.

The lore from the author of goodnight moon, I used to be really obsessed with her

Franz Kafka’s sleep schedule /j no but seriously I did an entire 30 minute project when I was like 13 on his sleep schedule

The one billion futures I planned out for myself 😔

The cereal scene from the J. Edgar movie, because it has a mention of babygirl lorena hickok in it. Also, Clyde is eating post toasties. I read the original script for that movie actually.

btw looks like I forgot to tag some people so let’s go @bajaja-blast and @weeewooobitsfallout 💝

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.
