THE COCOAPUFF GIRLS

So about this project. For awhile now I’ve noticed almost every single time I see a darker skinned black woman “going viral”, she’s half naked, oiled up, and/or sexualized in some way shape or form. It’s very rarely ever “Look at this amazing dark skinned woman who accomplished this thing.” Or “Look at her smile, she’s gorgeous”.  Please don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. There is nothing wrong with darker women and black women in general being free and expressive about their sexuality and provocative features. BUT that is NOT ALL they are. They are so much more than sexual beings, but for some reason, that seems to be almost the only thing that grabs viral appreciation. So here’s my attempt to have darker skinned black women go viral for just being cute, creative, stylish, bubbly, beautiful, and black. Aside from the videographer EVERYONE involved in this project IS A BLACK WOMAN. I hope you guys like it. I ask that if you enjoyed this and agree with my objective, share it with a few people please.

A special thank you to @aggienes, I couldn’t have done this without her.

lotr thought for the day: fandom (rightfully) gives legolas shit for being captain obvious in the films, always stating what was already blindingly clear to the rest of his companions, but think about this

what if legolas genuinely thinks the rest of the fellowship is just that dumb

he’s the oldest member of the group (aside from gandalf and let’s be honest the elves have never been quite sure about gandalf; he’s always high on pipeweed and hangs out with halflings and dwarves). he’s an elf. he was brought up surrounded by only other elves. he was raised by thranduil. this is the first time he’s hung out with anyone other than elves for any considerable length of time, and look, he just – he doesn’t know how much their nice harmless mortal brains are picking up, okay? he just wants to make sure everyone’s up to speed. he’s nice like that.
