Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Frost Queen

December 30, 2025

Finally we have a proper chill in the air here, just in time for the New Year. It put me in a mood for something frosty and a mixed up a few different releases from Petrichor to achieve a cold-eyed sorceress wandering the wintry woods, including the very cool Vaera eyes that have nifty animation effects and tons of looks to choose from. The Apres Ski hair from the Truth Collective (a Truth & Wasabi collaboration) is one of those great long and straight style that always work well in a fantasy look, though I did opt for not wearing the knitted hat, it would not have fit the image!

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.

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.
