Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Dancing Djinn

February 18, 2025

It is dangerous to venture into the desert at sunset. Deep within the djinn reside and the unwary traveller may fall under their spell, as they can assume forms that are very fair to look upon.

Siyu Suen of Illusions is a new (and very welcome!) addition to the We Love Role-Play designer lineup. Her first release for the event is a set of Drow ears in the series that already includes Sprite and Sylph ears. I meant to wear the Drow ones, but after trying my way through the different sets, I ended up doing the photos with the Sprite ears instead. Yes, I can be a little ditzy at times. The Drow ear is a much longer ear, tapering to an elegant point, and it is available at WLRP at 20% off and in regular and two gauged versions.

The Ariadne outfit by Aurora seemed like it would suit a djinn very well, with its silk drapery, precious metals and jewels as well as a distinct “Harem” aesthetic.

Rooftop Shelter

May 15, 2024

You have been invited to take refreshments with a view atop the roof of a desert manse, with shelter from the sun provided by a colourful tent. The company is pleasant as well.

For this round of We Love Role-Play, Aurora offers the Jasmine set, which can be worn with or without the jewellery and customised with materials, transparency and colour options for both fabrics and metals. I really like the sleek shine of the fabric here. As an accessory, I have added a necklace from Constraint.

Also from WLRP are the refreshments from Cerridwen’s Cauldron, the Lantern Fruits set which offers several different versions of the decor and also gives out holdable fruits and drinks. A beautiful set of fantasy fruits and drinks, very decorative. The rest of the decor are older releases from paper moon, from their Oasis series.

My hair is a brand-new Wasabi release called Harlow, an extra long style with sweeping long bangs. Perfect for this sort of look but also a sultry modern style.

Queen of the Swarm

April 16, 2024

The beautiful, steampunk-inspired wings from deviousMind absolutely insisted that I should take to the skies. These wings include both rigged and unrigged versions as well as PBR and non-PBR versions for each. I am using the rigged PBR wings for this shot and I think they light really beautifully. This is the first PBR release from deviousMind and a bit of a proof of concept, so there will be more gorgeous colours of these wings later on (the plan is, I think, for the Fantasy Faire).

I paired the wings with the Cleopatra dress from Aurora, which comes with some nice texture options for both the fabric and the metals, as well as sheer/opaque option for the dress. And to keep me company, a beautiful swarm of butterflies from Puke Rainbows. All three of these items are We Love Role-Play releases, whereas the wild curls from Analog Dog are a new mainstore release.
