BIZARRE CROSSOVERS

HELLO! Today's blog post is a bit of a weird one, I mean... no, seriously, it's a weird one. I have 5 bizarre crossovers that I'd, kind of, like to see. Don't judge, just appreciate the artistic integrity of these crossovers.

1. Miranda and The Hunger Games 

Hit BBC sitcom Miranda collides with the world of The Hunger Games, with Miranda finding herself and her friends Stevie, Tilly and Gary, and her mother Penny, in Panem. At the quarter quell reaping, it is announced that anybody of any age can be chosen as the district's tribute for this year's Hunger Games. Miranda is mistaken for a man (yet again) and finds herself representing District 12 alongside her best friend Stevie Sutton. How will they survive? Will Miranda become the Mockingjay and lead the rebellion against the Capitol? 

2. Modern Family and Doctor Who

Just imagine Cam Tucker against the Weeping Angels. Just imagine the screams. Haley would be confused as heck, and Phil would be trying to be best friends with the Twelfth Doctor. I feel like this crossover would actually work quite well, with Alex Dunphy and Mitchell Pritchett practically becoming the Doctor's companions while Gloria, Manny and Cam scream in fear of the Weeping Angels. 

3. The Muppets and Miranda Sings/GloZell

With The Muppets getting their TV series, we're guaranteed tonnes of guest stars. Now, this isn't much of a crossover as much as a WE NEED GLOZELL WITH KERMIT AND WE NEED MIRANDA SINGS TO ARGUE WITH MISS PIGGY. Just imagine the sass and all the green.

 I ship them. #KerZell

Miranda Sings VS Miss Piggy fight scene please. 

4. Keeping Up Appearances and Downton Abbey

Imagine Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouqet) finally achieving her goals of being an upper class snob, only to be challenged by Maggie Smith's Violet. Mind you, Hyacinth wouldn't need servants, she's got Richard.

5. New Girl and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Jess and Kimmy, the ultimate weird people. It would essentially be an episode where they try to compete over how bizarre they are, while Cece and Titus go shopping and Schmidt, Nick, Coach and Winston fight over Jacqueline Vorhees.

Was that bizarre enough? 

Check back on September 1st for my August Soundtrack, listing 10 songs I've been listening to throughout the month!

APPRECIATING LORDE

Lord I love Lorde.

The thing about Lorde is that, whenever I listen to her music, I'm reminded of just how young I am. Lorde's music is young, it's embodies youth and it's culture. My favourite Lorde song is most probably Team. It's brilliant, just brilliant. I mean seriously. The chorus:

We live in cities you'll never see on screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

I have no words. It's just good. Unity within youth culture. Such a powerful statement, "we sure know how to run things" aka we're better than you think, we're smarter than you think, and we have control. Not a statement suggesting that youth is overthrowing adults, but that we can survive on our own, because we're independent and strong. 

Getting too deep. 

Talking about youth empowerment, Yellow Flicker Beat, eh? Oh my, that's a statement and a half. "I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me", you go Lorde, you go Katniss, you go.

"Hahaha when Lorde performs she's a freak" NOPE. She's feeling the music and getting into it. Her stage presence is immense. 

I have no words because her live performances are just so entrancing and exciting, yet so powerful and evoke such a strong impact. I guess it doesn't help that when she's performing I'm expecting a Cyberman to walk out on stage and Lorde to simply headbutt it whilst headbanging and get picked up by the Doctor and become a companion?

Too much?

Yeah. Sorry. 

My Favourite Lorde songs

- Team

- Tennis Court

- Yellow Flicker Beat

- Everybody Wants To Rule The World

- Buzzcut Season

- Glory and Gore

That's all.

Bye for now.
