Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

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.

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.

Winter Royalty

November 23, 2025

There are places where winter never truly ends — where embers of magic linger in the air, catching on falling snow and breathing life into old stories.

The current rounds of Enchantment and We Love Role-Play offered the perfect pairing for a scene like this: a sumptuous gown with storybook detailing and a crown fit for winter royalty from Grasshopper Street, an intricate hairstyle from No.Match and a magical scepter from Koukla that catches the light beautifully (and which includes a HUD for a selection of magical particle effects, not used here). And, as a final touch, a dramatic eyeshadow from Someone, echoing the colours that I picked for the gown from the many options on the HUD.

Through the Mirror Darkly

November 17, 2025

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.
