Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Phases of the Moon

September 09, 2024

A priestess of the moon awaits you in her temple, the sacred pool behind her reflecting the sky above the atrium. What mysteries can she reveal to you?

Welcome to the September round of We Love Role-Play, where you will find—among many other fantastical releases—the Cyclus crown from Bliensen+MaiTai and the Corabella gown by Luas. A discount of between 15% and 30% is offered on all new releases, so there are great deals to be had as well.

The crown is unrigged mesh that can be resized and repositioned if needed. It is adorned with two full moons and three crescent moons and mixes various metals that have a slightly worn and tarnished look, which adds to the realism of the piece.

The gown comes fitted for several different bodies, including Lara X. It includes a HUD for texture changes, allowing for a two-toned dress and a separate corset/belt colour, as well as a choice of gold or silver for the jewellery on the belt. It is a bit on the long side, which usually isn’t an issue with mesh gowns, but here I found it seemed to expect a pair of high heels.

Serpent Witch

May 09, 2024

The Fantasy Faire is over for this year (though I did manage to sneak in for this photo) but We Love Role-Play is here! The May round offers a fine lineup of creators and I am starting my blogging with a silk from Ruxy accessorized with double armlets from Secret Witch.  Ruxy’s outfit features metal flowers, delicate chains and two minimal pieces of fabric for your modesty. The included HUD gives several texture options for each element and the set is fitted for Maitreya Lara X and Legacy.

Secret Witch’s armlets combines celestial imagery with a serpent, very appropriate indeed for a witch. There’s a HUD for texture options and the armlets are fitted for Maitreya Lara X, Legacy and Ebody Reborn.

The pose was released by Astalianda for the Fantasy Faire and the hair is a recent Happy Weekend special from Wasabi, a cute pigtail style with or without bangs.

Fantasy Faire 2023: Szystrum Synod

April 22, 2023

Szystrum Synod is the fascinating creation of Walton Wainwright of [ContraptioN], an alien world inhabited by sentient machines that continue to exist long after the demise of their creators. Not only has he built a stunning sim, he has also conceived of a backstory for the world and details about its inhabitants which you can read here. A worldbuilder in all senses of the word.

I am wearing a full avatar from Somnium representing one of the seven houses of Szystrum Synod. I picked the House of Testament, the house of remembrance and history.  The avatars have four arms, two that work as regular arms and two that can be posed using presets or the pose creator in the Black Dragon viewer. In addition to the avatar I am wearing the Astrocartograph Aura by Seydr and using a pose from Astalianda’s Intrigue set. The Astrocartograph Aura is animated, cycling through different hues and showing an astrological map from the perspective of Earth with orbiting comets.

Do not miss the chance to explore Szystrum Synod while the Faire lasts.

Crystalline Temptress

February 02, 2023

I love the combination of the revealing gown (which can be switched between long and short with the HUD) and the mask for hiding your face in this collaboration between Petrichor and Ersch for Midnight Order. Wear just the gown and the shoes (and alright, maybe a panty) and you are set for a glamorous evening. Add on the mask and you’re going to the meeting of a secret society. Finally, wear the various floating crystals and you look like a seductive enchantress. The various HUD packs also allow for varying your look and affecting the chosen textures with your choice of materials. With seven supported body options, the odds are good that the outfit will work for you.

The tied-off pigtails style is from Wasab for Uber and comes with the option of a whole collection of little hair ornaments. These can be turned on and off in batches and coloured per batch. The style also includes optional bangs and options for having the pigtails over your shoulder or brushed back.
