Creative Creatures

Vampires, Shifters, and Witches! Oh My!

My last post activated the nerd in me heavy! So, I will be building onto my fun fact that I shared with you all, by giving mention to TV shows that get me going! Just some light-hearted posts here recently as a mental break from a tiring week. Homework and exams galore, plus I know how those work weeks can get ya!

Charmed

Everyone in my family has watched this show I feel, and I remember it always being on when I got home from school! The Charmed Ones (the most powerful): 3 sister witches who reactive their powers one fateful night, and get introduced to the world of magic! This show made me wish I had powers, but I'd probably get caught up in the rules. Yes, the charmed ones had rules, and the big one: no personal gain! Each sister has a unique personality and power that evolves right along with the characters!

They had every magical/mythical beings in here:

• Witches/Warlocks (well yeah)
• Angels/Whitelighters
• Demons (so many types!)
• Ghosts
• Shifters
• Cupid
• Fairies
• Mermaid

The list could go on and on, but I will stop here! This show was straight lit!! They will make you laugh, cry, frustrated, and even fall in love. If you don't believe me just ask my cousin Jillian (aka Juice lol)! A lot of drama and even some time travel to keep you interested for all 8 seasons!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I'm always up for a character who takes no mess and can beat you down (especially the supernatural type too)... when provoked of course. Buffy lowkey gives me Kim Possible vibes with both being teenage girls saving their town, yet expected to get to school on time and do homework! LOL! I love that she wasn't the stereotypical new girl who everyone loves, is super sweet, and modest and whatnot. Buffy was straight up real and amusing.

Magical/mythical beings:

• Vampires (clearly)
• Angels
• Spirts
• Animal creatures

There were some other creepers in this show that I don't necessarily know how to classify. Ya'll know those moments when watching a show/movie and you have to roll your eyes at the foolishness unfolding? Well generally it gets called out on this show from what I remember. Check out the 7 seasons!

H2O: Just add Water

Ahh such a more lighthearted show! I have been into mermaids since Disney's The Little Mermaid entered my life. This Australian TV show didn't air in the U.S. until I was in high school; however, I found it online somehow around the beginning of middle school.

These weren't simple mermaids, but 3 average teen girls turned water creatures. The big deal is that it wasn't voluntary, and all it takes for their tail (fin?) to sprout is water. As cool as this is, my clumsy self gets some type of liquid on me various times a day! Also, they have to deal with the weather and any accidents on the fly. This obviously changed their lives, but they also developed powers to go with their new status.

Magical/mythical beings:

• Mermaids

These girls face a lot of challenges trying to keep their secret from getting out, even from their families. 3 seasons!

Being Human

The show is based off a BBC series, which I didn't watch, but it snuck up on me. I just wanted to see what it was about, and boy did the show surprise me! It sounds kind of cheesy, yet a vampire, ghost, and human (maybe, maybe not) are housemates. As you know everyone has a story and secret to keep, but the past has a way of tracking you back down. Their lives (well can you say that with the undead involved?) are at risk at almost every turn!

These characters are dope, and whatever rules you thought there were about magical creatures can be broken. This show gave a pretty good twist on these magical beings who sometimes struggle with what they are and try to be as human as possible, because who said they chose to become what they are.

Magical/mythical beings:

• Vampires
• Werewolves
• Ghosts
• Demons
• Zombies

Once again, some more creepy creatures pop up here and there in different lethal degrees. There is always an external and internal fight to get that old normal life they used to have, but so much has changed that they cannot come back from. 4 seasons!

All found on Netflix!!
