It has come to my attention that Aquaman (2018) is just a shameless ripoff of the Mattel classic, Barbie: A Mermaid Tale.

We have the child of a mermaid queen and a regular human guy 

who was brought up in the human world as a free spirit,

who talks to sea creatures,

who is fated to take over the throne of an underwater kingdom (where all the buildings are round and mushroom-y)

which is currently being occupied by an evil, power-hungry relative

with an army of sharks

And their unique position, straddling the human world and the underwater world, is at first a burden but ends up being their greatest strength

… I’m just saying

Black people are beautiful, no matter what the media says. Know your roots.

A while back I heard my friend (male) insult another dude by saying, “You look like the kind of guy who wouldn’t go to Wal-Mart to buy his girlfriend a box of tampons” and I still think about that crowning insult sometimes

Let Black Women Be Princesses

In an interview after the Oscars, Viola Davis said she felt like a princess when she got her Oscar. She followed up by saying she never feels like a princess. In the notes of the gifset here on Tumblr, you’ll notice people, plenty of non-Black people specifically, saying she’s never felt like a princess because she is a Queen.

Now. There is a certain vulnerability and softness that comes with feeling specifically like a princess. A sweet delicate nature that Black Women are often stripped of. If she says she felt like a princess, she should be allowed the room to say PRINCESS not Queen. Queen is often tied to strength and a larger-than-life image that people LOVE to project onto their favorite Black Women, celebrity or not. Sometimes it’s nice….other times, it’s EXHAUSTING. You mean well, but relax.

Let Viola, and Black Women, be princesses.
