Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Mistress of the Manor

April 05, 2026

The April round of We Love Role-Play opened yesterday and my first choice of scene to build ended up a touch gothic. In a stark manor inherited from a distant cousin, a young heiress has taken up residence all by herself. She dresses as she would for the city and stands out in the gloomy suroundings.

The Rosalie Gown by Ruxy sets features soft draping and delicate structure which gives an impression of refinement without excess. The silhouette feels period-inspired without being rigid, and the spring green paired with the patterned panel adds just enough contrast to catch the light in subtle ways. I paired it with the Edith earrings by Sublime, understated but elegant.

The manor by PROPS! dominates the countryside it sits in and within it is dark and austere. You have a choice between two different size, much appreciated as many builds in Second Life run too big for my tastes. The smaller size also suited the main furnishings which are also available at WLRP; the antique wing chair from Lorien and the dressed from Laminak.

Winter Ritual

December 06, 2025

Welcome to December with We Love Role-Play. To get you into the Christmas spirit, the sim is beautifully decorated and each store has a special L$50 offer in addition to the usual discounts. 

Loa’s new Frost skin features subtle add-ons of frost on the eyebrows, a pale eyeliner and a pack of blushes. The skin is available in Loa’s usual tones as well as a range of Velour tones, including the celestia and fantasy ones. I opted for Loa’s own Porcelain tone here and paired it with Sublime’s Aurora gown which I gave a white bodice and a grey skirt for more tones of frost and winter. Constraint’s Winter Court Torc (one of the L$50 items) goes well with the off-the shoulder design and the Winter Fae Crown from the same brand is beautiful in Wasabi’s Mistle hair, a new release for Anthem.

Adding a mystical feel is Auro’s Snedronningen staff, with its sphere of ice and crystalline details. It goes well with the scene built by Harshlands’ Tree with Candles and their snowy Yule Rock Offering.

The surrounding forest comes from Fanatik’s newly updated PBR poplars and their matching snowy ferns, with the Oitavos rock clusters adding structure and interest to the ground.
