Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Decadent Heritage

November 25, 2025

Some scenes don’t need much setup—just the right furniture and the right mood. DICTATORSHOP’s Bondage Cross from the Heritage series became the centerpiece for this one, its polished wood, padded support, and smooth restraint system working beautifully for both close interaction and full-scene shots. The cross includes solo poses for male and female avatars as well as a maledom and a femdom menu for two avatars at the same time. In addition, the cross is Jolt-enabled so that when the submissive is using the solo menu, he or she will react to being hit by the Jolt-enabled whips from DICTATORSHOP.

To balance the severity of the cross, I used Libertine’s decadent divan the Swan, available at the current round of We Love Role-Pay for a few more days. Its carved frame and deep upholstery create a perfect visual contrast—comfort observing tension.

For my look, Petrichor & ERSCH’s Valeneros outfit provided a gothic feel and paired welll with Petrichor’s Kessa Heels. Stealthic’s Faith hair added a soft, romantic touch as another contrast.

Ran, in the role of the (un)lucky captive, is wearing no.match No Sweat hair and Contraption’s Cyclist’s Breeches.

After Hours at the Office

November 10, 2025

There’s a certain quiet that settles over an office after hours, when the lamplight pools across polished wood, and the world beyond the window feels very far away. It’s the kind of quiet that invites thought, reflection… or perhaps something more distracting.

The Heritage Executive Desk from DICTATORSHOP dominates this space with its confident presence. It’s a piece that commands attention, combining contemporary craftsmanship with that unmistakable English heritage aesthetic — solid wood, burnished metals, and leathers that look comfortably worn. The texture options are generous: ten woods, five metals, and ten leathers, all materials-enabled for PBR environments.

Behind it, the Heritage Modular Bookcases complete the setting. The three-piece system fits snugly against a wall, with nine rezzable decor options that can be used as-is or swapped out for personal touches. I found the selection of books in the “fantasy” option particularly good!

To the side sits the Heritage Design Storage Chest, a piece that adds both balance and realism to the room.

The desk itself, though, offers options far beyond decor. Available in PG, Adult Vanilla, and Adult Kink versions, it’s fully animated for one or two avatars, with over 300 animations in the most complete set. Whether your scene involves a late-night meeting, a bit of creative brainstorming, or something altogether more suggestive, you’ll find a pose that fits. As with all DICTATORSHOP releases, it’s powered by AVsitter, experience-enabled, and easy to adjust.

The hairstyle by No.Match is currently available at FaMESHed and the cute dress (with optional t-shirt under) is a gift from Riot for SeraPlus together with the matching boots.

The Fashion Designer

October 25, 2025

I love when furniture has animations that lend themselves well to interesting photography. The Drafting Table from DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage series is one such item. It has plenty to offer in terms of PG and Adult couples animations, but you also have a nice solo menu wit casual animations and a work menu for both genders that shows your avatar at work. The first image is a capture of that, the fashion designer eagerly pouring over her sketches on the table. The PG version has 132 animations and the Adult Vanilla 226. For customisation there are 10 wood textures and 5 metals and 4 different looks for the table—empty, architectural drawings, schematics and fashion designs.

For a bohemian look, I am wearing the Sommeil outfit from the Muses with an elegant choker from Petrichor, with tons of options for the metal and the gemstone. The hair is called Afterglow, a very sexy style from Wasabi for Kustom9.

Wallflower

September 24, 2025

One of the newest additions to DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage range is a wallboard and this one has a nifty new feature. Remember those Tempest whips they released a while back? The wallboard now features an interaction with the whips called Jolt. When the submissive is using the Solo poses (some of these are featured in my photos), the wallboard detects a strike from one of the Tempest-range whips and delivers a real-time jolt animation. Of course, there are over 210 animations in the wallboard to enjoy even if you don’t use the Jolt feature, but you can try it out with the free bullwhip demo so there’s no excuse not to! The wallboard can of course be customised in terms of textures, allowing you to fit it in with the rest of your decor.

Alas, I wasn’t able to do a video showing the feature at this time, since my partner’s computer is in for a fix-up. But I do think I managed to get some pretty classy yet kinky photos out of it. I decided to combine a couple of releases from Petrichor (the handy modesty covers are a collaboration with Ersch) for the outfit and the hair is the latest 50L Friday release from Wasabi, a cute style with two tight buns and optional bangs.
