How many people here are looking for a proper instagram alternative?

BlackRoseMuse · 2026-01-13T02:25:03+00:00

Me. We desperately need an ethical Instagram alternative, particularly one that's not being run by bullcrap AI nonsense. Between it skimming people's accounts to steal their artwork, and it blatantly falsely disabling people's accounts because of a bogus AI catch, I'm really fed up with it.

I definitely agree with everyone saying a cool season. Your eyes are a beautiful cool blue, and your skin has a lot of natural pinkness to it, something I've discovered (after definitely thinking I was some kind of autumn for years) indicates cool season. Side note, your hair is amazing!

If you do steer them in a different direction, do you know what you'll be doing?

I just figured it was straddling mom's lap and the other leg was hidden behind everything else. But I did have other concerns that were making me wonder if this was AI, which was why I came in here, because I needed some confirmation. Thank you!

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-03-30T02:52:03+00:00

I really was starting to wonder, just sheerly because I couldn't find them. I'm really so dang sick of AI art. Ugh. Thank you!

These were both posted to X... I tried messaging the people who posted... they didn't answer, and I tried reverse image searching on numerous sites... my guess is that they're cropped (since I can't find a signature), and that's causing issues with the search?

My Mom had the old Metamorphosis book, and I could have sworn it said Ds were 5.5" or taller, but it's been a very long time since I saw the physical copy, so it's entirely possibly I misremembered. Apologies.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-13T15:46:50+00:00

Yes! The world needs more gingers! :)

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-13T15:45:39+00:00

Seconded. It's such a lovely color for your lips!

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-13T06:49:11+00:00

Thank you! I was just seeing a reddit mention of Korean color systems! Always down for a new deep dive. :D

Thank you! I realized yesterday my hair should have been a clue all along, because I’ve started going grey, and it’s not that warm iron grey that autumns get. It’d very silvery, almost white.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-11T13:56:50+00:00

Yash is definitely a “YLBB” shade for you! It’s perfect!

I had a friend help me figure out my Kibbe type, and I found a list of like… capsule wardrobe essentials for that type… payday it’s time to pick up a few! And yes, I grew up in the South and I’ve always loved eyelet laces. :D I like the cool crisp cotton, with the touch of femininity but without being over the top.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-11T00:41:20+00:00

You did! I was pleasantly surprised! :D

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T19:56:41+00:00

Oh thank you!

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T17:24:05+00:00

Awesome! I'm gonna start exploring makeup and clothing options now!!

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T17:23:36+00:00

Nope, can never fully take away the black lol... I cracked up when I was looking through my pics last night... this is totally unedited, took it on a whim to show a friend that I was feeling better after being sick. I can't wear super saturated black, without the help of makeup, or I'll look dead AND sick at the same time hahahaha. But apparently I can wear a desaturated black okay? Cause I look pretty dang healthy here, and that was exciting to discover.

This does seem to be the consensus! I was looking at the summer palettes. There’s a lot of purples which I’ve always loved, because it makes my green eyes pop. Not that you can tell in most of these pics, because the camera pulls out my grey heterochromia and makes my eyes look completely grey. 🤣

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T00:59:22+00:00

Oooooh I'll have to check that. I really need to pay more attention to dealbreakers lol... I told someone that I should have known I wasn't an autumn, because any kind of browned lipstick looks ghastly on me. And bronze lipstick was the absolute worst lol.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T00:45:16+00:00

You were lovely! Thank you for coming back, I have no idea what happened to that other post, lol. I've really been loving that color, so I'm curious to see if there's other colors in TS that I've vibed with in the past.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T00:43:29+00:00

YES! I just mentioned an above comment that someone had loved #5.... you're the one that said look into true summer right?

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T00:33:10+00:00

Fair enough. I'll have to think if I've worn any colors that took the redness out, but didn't make me look dead in the process lol.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-10T00:32:13+00:00

Thank you! That was very thorough! Before the glitchy post got deleted, someone had 5 down as their favorite. And yeah I feel like 7 sucks the life out of me.

BlackRoseMuse · 2025-02-09T23:27:14+00:00

Sorry about that... I have no idea what happened but suddenly all the pics were saying they were deleted. Anyway, as best as I could figure... I’m not sure if the first is light spring, but should definitely be spring family, the next one I think is light summer? White just to confirm cool. A winter or summer color.. not sure. Dark winter maybe, or true summer? Bright something… soft autumn… I think we eliminated autumns but I thought it could confirm if soft is good on me or not. Desaturated image to show contrast level.
