My Black Out Day Selfies

[amarie24]

Happy Black Out Day! WOOOOOO!!! Ahhh...my Tumblr dash is just flooded with beautiful melanin, blessed from the Melanin Goddesses! I encourage you guys to scroll through and just bask in the beauty of black people!!

I've decided to participate with some old selfies of mine (taken with the loving help of a friend who has an iphone whereas I do not). This top one is of me smiling at you guys! So...the smile one:



And this one is an epic side-eye from me because...I like side eye. Side eye is everything. Yes.



That's your Amarie in the flesh! (Also posted it over on my blog, hehe!)

Do I have any fellow black readers & bloggers with selfies? Feel free to post and share in the comments!


--Love, Amarie

This will be very useful for historians in the future, after you've become famous as the first person to actually figure out how to terraform Mars... You're going to have quite the circuitous career, by the way.

[amarie24]

LOLOLOLOLOL! Aww, thank you!

I can't wait to actually get down to terraforming Mars! I bet it'll be the event of the century and I shall then join the Black Woman Science Hall of Fame for my accomplishments! :D

Now whenever I make you laugh with a comment, I'll see your smiley picture to go along with it! (you look fabulous <3)

[jennaria]

I think you look super cute :-) No selfies from me, though, as I am white and today ain't about me.

[alexseanchai]

This, both parts.

[mime_paradox]

Well, aren't you just a cutie-patootie. Thank you for sharing.

So I ended up posting pics. Tumblr now knows what I look like. I have lost two followers in like three hours, which is mildly disappointing, and would probably be more so if I had any idea who those actually were. On the other hand, this all comes on the same day I happened to find a sizable amount of money I did not know I had, hidden in a backpack of mine for who knows how long. Coincidence? I think not.

(Okay, it's totally coincidence, but let me have this one thing, okay? :P)

My pics.

This exactly!

Also, I am now picturing you giving that very same epic side-eye to Zuko. (And am going to continue picturing this, every time you say "Zuko, honey." Hee!)

[silveradept]

It's you, fabulous you! Good selfies.

[smurasaki]

Thirding this.

[amarie24]

D'aaaw, thank you! And yes, I do smile quite a bit in real life. (Hence why I have laugh lines so young in life, hehe!)

[amarie24]

Thankies much!

...You know, I actually went through the #whiteout tag for a while. Just to see if it was really true that white people were throwing tantrums. ...Yep. Even saw a selfie of one white guy holding up both middle fingers, caption: "Fuck #BLackoutday!"

[amarie24]

Thank you, Alex! :D

[amarie24]

OMG, IAN, YOU'RE SO HANDSOME!!!!!!!

GO PUT YOUR FACE BACK ON THE ANGEL STATUE IT CAME FROM THIS INSTANCE!! :D :D :D :D :D

*ahem* Ehh, forget the two followers you lost. You do you 'cause you're awesome! And oooh, so nice to find coincidental money in your backpack! :D

[amarie24]

Side eye.

Side eye.

The. Side. Eye. To. Zuko.

YES. Why did I not think of it before?!

Side eye Zuko. Side eye Agent Carter. Side eye Zhao. Side eye all that shit. OMG, you are perfection.

[amarie24]

Yes, it is I!

Umm...I'm neither a ghost nor a book dragon. Indeed, I am but a human. I hope you don't feel betrayed/lied to. Still friends? :P

[amarie24]

D'aaaw, thankies! :D :D

[mime_paradox]

No! The angel statue stole it first. It's mine now.

In any case: ! ! ! (ノ^_^)ノ　Thank you *so* much.

[amarie24]

So what?! Be a better person than the angel statue, LOL!

And no need for thanks! I only spoke the truth! :D

[silveradept]

Of course. Perhaps some time soon, we can all express ourselves as we are.

[amarie24]

Oh yay! :D
