My Dream Crate



Loot Crate is such a great service, monthly pop culture items send to your door, it is every collector's dream. So when I heard that Loot Crate was asking customers to make there own dream crate I couldn’t help but jump at the idea. My actual dream crate has sadly become a reality so I decided that I needed to dream bigger (which at first sent me into a spiral of over creating) in order to achieve this goal, and my idea is pretty out there but stick with me. 

I chose to settle for the BLOOD crate, which at first must sound very unappealing but stick with me, and I promise you this isn’t vampire related. I decided to incorporate two of my pop culture loves Tarantino, and Game of Thrones. At first, these two don’t seem to share a theme, but when you think about it these are both extremely bloody categories, main characters die, and both aren’t shy on focusing on humanities flaws. 

I would include a Bolton T-Shirt and have it center on the Flayed man as nothing in Westeros is as gruesome a sight that the Bolton’s House Sigil. The next item I would include in the crate would, of course, be Jules’ Wallet from Pulp Fiction which has become a pop culture staple since its debut in the mid-nineties. The next item I would include would be a bust of a White Walker, although they may not particularly shed blood themselves they will take it in order to conquer Westeros.

A piece of fan art that I would like to include would be the Giant Weirwood Tree from the last season of Game of Thrones this tree is both beautiful and haunting and would make a great collector's piece. From Dusk till Dawn was written by Quentin Tarantino who also stars in the film, so I thought it would be fun to include a sponge version of the Weapon used by Harvey Keitel’s character to try and stop the vampires (ok I sort of included vampires).

The next item I would include would be a mystery box which would include a random Pop Vinyl from one of these franchises; this could include anything from a Gogo Yubari, Daisy Domergue, Butch Coolidge, Hodor, or even one of the Red Priestess herself, Melisandre. There are so many characters to choose from in both of these universes that no crate may even look the same.

What would your dream crate be? Would it include items from Firefly, Harry Potter, Disney, or a Superhero film? Please let me know below because I have had a million ideas from Horror to Sci-Fi and beyond. You can also visit loot crate for your own inspiration at https://www.lootcrate.com/.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Lion Rampant

So for those of you who haven't heard about this project it was leaked during the Sony hack. This as a potential sequel to Braveheart called Lion Rampant, after the flag I have shown above. Really it should be called Braveheart as Robert the Bruce was called the Brave Heart and his heart was taken into battle after his death. Depicting Robert the Bruce's story and the Battle of Bannockburn (24th June 1314) in Scotlands first war for independance where King Edward II was beaten in battle by a small force lead by Robert the Bruce. Robert the Bruce in Braveheart was shown as a traitor and I am hoping that this upcoming movie would mean that he will hopefully get the makeover he so rightly deserves. Although he did pay homage to Edward I, The Bruce really secretly supported Wallace (later publicly supporting him) and he did not betray Wallace, that was Sir John Menteith. This could easily turn into a what's wrong with Braveheart post so I will state that they did get the...

I dropped the ball!

                                                    ........ Image courtesy of paradigmalibu These last few months I've felt as if I have dropped the proverbial ball, my mind has been witness to a stand off between Mental health disorders and things from my past I'd rather not constantly have to relive. It's buried itself into my soul while operating my mindless drone of a body, I've relived every conversation I ever had; thought of Friends long gone as I struggle to open up about my disability. I don't even like calling it that as it feels disrespectful to people like my parents; who's struggle and sheer joy of receiving two disabled free babies has been with me my entire life. But I am not OK - I feel like I have to admit that to the world. A miscarriage has taken me back mentally to a place I've not been for a very long time, and I'm petrified t...
