Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Through the Mirror Darkly

Through the Mirror Darkly

The light beyond the mirror was not of this world. It shimmered and fractured, cold and radiant all at once. She stood before it with her lantern raised, the faint gleam of its light reflected in the mirror.

The Faust’s Repose Mirror from Lunette is a hauntingly beautiful centerpiece. It comes in both PBR and non-PBR versions and offers five color themes— blue, black, silver/white, gold, and red—each with a distinct tone. The mirrored surface reacts to lighting and reflection probes, creating depth that feels almost alive. At only 2 LI, it’s impressively efficient for such visual impact.

For this scene, I paired it with dviousMind’s Selene gown and necklace as well as Cabal’s Halogen Lantern, all new releases for this round of We Love Role-Play. The Selene gown comes in sheer and opaque options, scattered with stars like fragments of night sky. The matching Selene Moon Necklace complements the gown’s motifs with suspended charms and metallic accents that catch even the faintest light.

The Halogen Lantern, available both as decor and wearable (left or right hand), provides the ideal finishing touch, providing an arcane light that works beautifully with reflective materials and PBR surfaces, as seen here.

A final new release, though not from WLRP, is the beautiful Truth Collective hairstyle from Truth and Wasabi called Angelic, which can be worn in four different ways, all very flattering.

Dragon Cave

Dragon Cave

The February round of We Love Role-Play is open and waiting for you, and of course there is a handy shopping guide available to plan your trip.

I decided to start off with some cave exploration which could have ended badly as the cave was already occupied. Fortunately, the fierce beast was mesmerized by the magic crystal I carried with me. Or perhaps it was the very minimal Lirio dress by Aitne that the coppery dragon was so taken with? It certainly does not leave much to the imagination and shows off the Soleil tattoo by Aerth very nicely.

New-ish, but not from WLRP, is the Fluffy hair from Wasabi, featuring two pigtails taming a very curly hair.

Cooking Something Special

Cooking Something Special

When preparing dinner, it is important to use the right mushrooms. Of course, what the right mushroom is depends on the goal of the dinner. With Static’s Mushroomery prop for We Love Role-Play you can identify a few suitable candidates if your meal involves murder. The book (which comes with a HUD for changing the leather and metal textures) is meant to held in either the right or left hand as seen in the first photos, but I also wanted to do a close-up and for that I placed it on the mantlepiece of the fireplace from Cabal. The pot heating up over the fire, the kite shield resting against the wall and the drinking horn converted into a candle are also from Cabal and all for We Love Role-Play.

The same is true for the beautiful Frigg gown from Enfant Terrible. Inspired by dress of Norse women during the Viking age, Frigg is the gown of a woman of some means, with finespun wool and linen adorned by the typical brooches (here joined by beaded strands) and a metal girdle. In the fatpack, the HUD allows mixing and matching between different dress and overdress colors and also includes options for the metals and beads. Not worn here is a fur shoulder piece and a crown of oak wreathes that are also part of the Frigg outfit.

Also new but for Anthem is Wren, a versatile double pigtail hairstyle from Wasabi. It includes style options for the bangs and texture options for the hairties.
