Hello lovely people ✨
Right from the time I could comprehend the things I see, I always wanted to be a superhero
The truth is that the superhero I wanted to be changed over time. When I watched Avatar, I wanted to be a water bender. I watched power rangers and I wanted to be the red ranger. Eventually, I settled for one and that's shape shifting.
What Is shapeshifting?
This is the ability to assume a new physical appearance at will. You can choose to be an animal, a plant and even an inanimate object at will! The sound of that is just incredible right? I bet it is.
I've always imagined what it would feel like to be able to shapeshift. I do know that I would cause a whole lot of trouble if I had the ability to shape shift:-). Not the bad kind of trouble, the good kind.
In the movie "Wednesday", the principal of Nevermore Academy was a shapeshifter. She could change to whoever she wanted to change to, although at some point, she used her powers for a bad course.
One fun fact about shapeshifters is the fact that they look human but they have incredible physical strength. This means that they can defend themselves any time they wish to, without killing themselves in the gym as a means to get physical strength. The strength is one of the perks and that sounds cool if you ask me
Disclaimer: All super heros have thier weaknesses and shapeshifting isn't any different. It has a down side too.Just like superman is afraid of green kryptonite, shapeshifters are afraid of silver. As a shapeshifter, you would have to avoid anything that is silver; silver bullet, silver blades, even silver jewelries etc. A shapeshifter can be killed with a silver blade to the heart. Tragic.
Why would I want to be a shapeshifter?
There are days when I feel like I should be hanging with the birds in the sky. I look out of my window and imagine how it would feel like to be a bird, or a plant. As a shapeshifter, I could stop imagining and actually go for it.
There are also days when I felt like I committed a very hideous crime and I wish I could just varnish. Shapeshifting into a coin and rolling away wouldn't be such a bad idea if you ask me ^ _ ^.
There's a really long list of things / people I'd like to shapeshift into. Yes, I'd be shapeshifting into people too😅. Shapeshifting into people would be totally for fun. There's this dream I had a long time ago where I shapeshifted into my sister and the whole house was going crazy trying to decipher who was who.
If I had the shapeshifting ability, I'd basically be going round the world and saving lives, just like every superhero should do. I could shapeshift into a fluffy mattress for someone who tripped and fell from a story building. Or maybe I could shapeshift into a lion(king of the jungle) who would protect innocent hikers from other dangerous animals.
Ps: shapeshifting comes with a whole lot of exploring and experience acquisition. So if you're like me and you like exploring, you should consider being a shapeshifter.
