A sim rebuild has been going on at Fallen Gods Inc for a while and it’s looking great.

The region settings (on the LL viewer), shown in the photos here enhance the look, although I like sunrise and midnight too.

fallen gods_023It’s a wonderful place to hang out when I’m in the mood for a classical, other-worldly vibe and there really isn’t much construction noise or dust at all.

fallen gods_019The nearby archipelegos are still magical and serene. The landmark to this sim was given to me in my early days, just when I was ready to give up on SL as having nothing good for me.

Photography and machinima is welcome but the covenant needs to be read regarding usage.

Anon the Gate, Dracula, Fallen Gods Inc, television

athanselidor_02There are several scenes in the third episode of the new Dracula series, the one called Goblin Merchant Men, that reminded me of the old monastery at Anon, the Gate shown in the photo above.  I missed the place and teleported over: the pigeons are doing fine.

The Athan Selidor Archipelegos are part of the reason I stayed in Second Life when I was new, alone and having a really rough time.

The courtyard with the blossomed tree is shown in the episode in a scene when Mina is at an absinthe party after her engagement is broken. It’s also the location of a much earlier time, a very gruesome scene in which Dracula is being turned from human. While I don’t care at all for film violence, I do like good storytelling, acting and sets and I’m generally feeling favorable towards this series. I’ve been quite busy during the days, rushing about and then eating dinner while watching television. I’ve been running into the same situation I have with the show Bones, I’m eating dinner and then realize once again that there’re some really gross, disgusting, graphic scenes. With this episode I’d settled down with some lasagne, (gluten-free, not cheap) and there was some really horrid stuff happening on screen.

Usually I dislike the sex scenes on television but this series is doing it very well. And I love Dracula’s London home.

After I visited the monastery in Second Life I moved on to the other areas and saw that all was well. I quit taking pictures and planned to return to the sim for that sometime soon.

Alia Baroque has been rebuilding Fallen Gods Inc. for a while now and I’ve been returning to check progress. I like some of the more classical elements that remind me of the wondrous Magnificat at the 2013 Fantasy Faire. I looked at the changes and also wandered around Old Town.

My photography skills have improved since I’ve been there so I want to visit again in the next few months whether the rebuild is done or not.

More Photos Edited; Roleplay and Dancing

fantasy_faire_008Sometimes the hardest thing about blogging is coming up with a title. This post has photos–raw and edited, some observations on roleplay and a little about what I’ve been doing. Maybe I should have titled it blah, blah, blah.

fantasy_faire_009

These first three photos were taken at Magnificat at Fantasy Faire, which is now over. I always enjoy Alia Baroque’s work; there are ongoing changes at Fallen Gods Inc which I’ve been checking lately. Even the “work in progress” looks amazing.

The first three photos I just snapped what I saw. I played with changing them and liked the results, shown below. 

I like dancing in SL because my avatar is such an amazing dancer 🙂 and I don’t have to pay so much attention. It’s difficult for me to dance in real life and that’s also why I like it. I once was at an event where someone said there’s nothing more boring than dancing in Second Life. I think listening to strong opinions is more boring myself.

Anyway, someone asked me to go dancing yesterday evening; it was a country place–which I usually don’t go to–and it was fun. I changed out of my Victorian Witch dress and found some jeans in inventory. My feet, chest and hands looked royal blue on my viewer for a while at first. It’s good to have good company in SL, someone who can carry on a conversation and has some patience.

Magnificat

I’m not a long-time roleplayer, been doing it for less than two years and only in SL but have noticed a few things different in my experience lately. I’ve been in meetings talking about roleplaying more than actually playing. I guess that’s fine–being proactive instead of whining and giving up because it’s so hard to get people together. I like that it’s becoming more about the story and that all people’s stories are important instead of having a few players that want to dominate everyone else. 

Magnificat_01

There are two rp sims that I’m focusing on at the moment and one I’ve seen a few red flags about. While I like that sim owners keep people informed, the information was a little sharp when it came to the reasons why they had to move location and also why they changed furniture from something that didn’t work so well. We all get irritated, I know. And I say “they” because I’m barely established in it and don’t feel like a “we”. The person who approved my bio didn’t send it along to the other admins which has been inconvenient. (Well, I can’t find my NC copy either.)

During my first rp, there was a group of us and some nudity involved. I admit I was horrified when I got an offline group message that photos would be posted. When I looked online, they were taken from a distance and they were just inventory snapshots; I was relieved. Yes, it’s only pixels and no one else seems to care. I’m just mentioning that I have a funny feeling about it and I’m going to possibly be a fool and overlook that. 

My uneasy feeling was intensified when there was a group message about some sex rp that had taken place. Yes, it was kind of amusing. Yes, these players are not at all shy. Yes, I’ve been called a prude several times. Yes, it’s been mentioned to me a few times that sensitive people shouldn’t be on the internet. (What?)

Magnificat_02

There are all different kinds of people in the world. I’m not even comfortable mentioning the name of the avatar I went dancing with–he’s not likely to ever read this post even. So, this isn’t important to anyone else–just a little conflict I’m having. I haven’t expressed my concern anywhere else but here and haven’t decided if I’m going with or against my better judgement.

I’m pleased with these photos though, and I like blogging and I like when my avatar’s hands, feet and chest are the same skin color as the rest of her.

The Athan Selidor Archipelegos are one of my three favorite virtual places. Last night I teleported over to take some photos for one of my readers who isn’t in Second Life and I hope she sees these.

The sim is being rebuilt again by the creater, Alia Baroque as he is known in SL; he’s an artist in real life as well.

Fallen Gods Inc_3There are many kinds of fantasy skins available at Fallen Gods Inc as well as tattoo layers, accessories, builds and numerous other wonderful things.
