Budseldorf Blog

It’s fandoms. It’s bad puns. It’s views on the world and society. It’s because I haven’t got anything better to do. It’s Budseldorf Blog.

If you could re-write any Greek god story, which one it be?

I will be focusing on Medusa’s story so there are mentions of sexual assault, please be aware before you click if you are sensitive to that topic. Below the cut:

I’m not mad, just disappointed.

“That’s because you’re always on that damn cellphone!”

I always hear about teenagers complaining about their parents, because they always say “that’s because you’re always on that damn cellphone” when they tell them about a headache or anything like that. A very similar thing happens to me very often.

I do a daily workout that contains push ups, sit-ups and all those things. My mom, however, thinks that working out will end the world or something like that, because every time a random part of my body hurts, she says: “That’s because you’re always doing those damn push ups!”

Me after Infinity Wars

Dear Marvel,

Why?

Sincerely,

A fan (can be recognized by the fact that there’s a black hole now where there used to be a heart)

PS: no

“Yes, of course I’ve hardened, of course I have had to change to survive in this unforgiving world. But somewhere inside me, there still lives a little girl who once tried to invent a time machine, just to go back in time to save Vincent Van Gogh from his sadness when she heard the rumour he ate yellow paint to get the happiness inside him.”

— Nikita Gill

That’s incredibly sweet. And sad. But I thought he ate that paint because he tried to kill himself with the poisonous stuf in the paint. Which is also sad.

My dad once forgot to bring me home after school when I was younger. I don’t know if that means he’s both or neither.

My brother: *sneezes*

My brother, jokingly: I might be allergic to dogs.

Me: *looks at my really, REALLY adorable dog*

Me, to my brother: I’m sorry, man, but if you’re allergic, you’re the one that has to go.

Hypnosis

Yesterday, I was watching some sort of mindgame-show and then they did something with hypnosis. They walked up to people and tried to let them forget what the name was of the place they live in. I don’t believe that’s really possible, but that’s not the point. If it would work and someone did that to me, I’m 100% sure that I’ll still be really sassy and sarcastic and when they’d ask where I live, I’d make up some extremely stupid answer like “Nazi Germany” or “in a little house with the seven dwarfs”. Long story short: I’d ruin the whole act.

A hero without a cape

[nyshadidntbreakit]

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

Some facts you might not know about Alan Turing

I have just finished reading Alan Turing’s biography (written by Andrew Hodges) and I wrote down some interesting/cute/amazing/nerdy facts about Alan:

• Alan taught himself to read, but was quicker to recognise figures, and he had an infuriating habit of stopping at every lamppost to identify its serial number • on picnic with his family, he wanted to gather the wild bee’s honey and observed the bees’ flightpaths to locate the nest • he hated games at school, and he later said that the necessity of avoiding the ball in hockey had taught him to run fast • his father loved literature and was pleased when Alan told him he liked one line from Hamlet - only to learn that it was the last line: “Exeunt, bearing off the bodies…” • his first friend at school was Christopher, who he first met in 1927, and he was struck by him and “wanted to look again at his face, as he felt so attracted” • during what Alan said was the happiest week of his life, he, Chris, and a friend went to the cinema and on the way back Alan wanted to test how much Chris wanted his company, so he hung back and then Chris “beckoned to me (mostly with his eyes) to walk beside me” • he made a star globe out of a lampshade and woke up at 4am to look at the night sky • in Chris’ memory, his family founded a prize which Alan won • at Christmas 1934 Alan asked for a teddy bear because he never had one as a little boy - he got one and it was called Porgy • when Alan was at Princeton in the US he complained in a letter that he didn’t like “the way they speak”, “the impossibility of getting a bath” and “their ideas on room temperature” • Alan liked to chant the couplet “Dip the apple in the brew, let the Sleeping Death seep through” from Disney’s Snow White over and over again • he broke up with Joan by reciting the closing lines of Oscar Wilde’s “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” • he didn’t like the sight of blood and even once fainted when he grazed himself shaving • he was an avid long-distance runner • he wrote a short story about a gay man named Alec, but only three pages survived • Alan died on 7 June 1954, most likely by committing suicide; the cause of death was cyanide poisoning (next to his bed was half an apple which might have been dipped in cyanide)

It’s so weird we didn’t learn about him in school. He was such an important man for Brittain during te second world war.

Something I need to happen in Infinity Wars is for Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) to look at Doctor Strange (Benedict cumberbatch) and say with out blinking “Yeah, no shit Sherlock.”

[budseldorf]

This kinda really extremely must happen.
