Like 60% of internet speak, "thicc" did indeed originate with AAVE.

No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don't think using "thicc" is any more than using "cool" is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

"OH LAWD" in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.
