Fantasy Guide to Building A Culture

Culture is defined by a collection of morals, ethics, traditions, customs and behaviours shared by a group of people.

Hierarchy and Social Structures

Within every culture, there is a hierarchy. Hierarchies are an important part of any culture, usually do ingrained that one within the culture wouldn't even question it. Hierarchy can be established either by age, gender or wealth and could even determine roles within their society. Sometimes hierarchy can may be oppressive and rigid whilst other times, ranks can intermingle without trouble. You should consider how these different ranks interact with one another and whether there are any special gestures or acts of deference one must pay to those higher than them. For example, the Khasi people of Meghalaya (Northern India), are strictly matriarchal. Women run the households, inheritance runs through the female line, and the men of the culture typically defer to their mothers and wives. Here are a few questions to consider:

How is a leader determined within the culture as a whole and the family unit?

Is the culture matriarchal? Patriarchal? Or does gender even matter?

How would one recognise the different ranks?

How would one act around somebody higher ranking? How would somebody he expected to act around somebody lower ranking?

Can one move socially? If not, why? If so, how?

Traditions and Customs

Traditions are a staple in any culture. These can be gestures or living life a certain way or to the way a certain person should look. Traditions are a personal detail to culture, they are what make it important. Tradition can dictate how one should keep their home, run their family, take care of their appearance, act in public and even determine relationship. Tradition can also be a double edged sword. Traditions can also be restrictive and allow a culture to push away a former member if they do not adhere to them, eg Traditional expectations of chastity led to thousands of Irish women being imprisoned at the Magdelene Laundries. Customs could be anything from how one treats another, to how they greet someone.

How important is tradition?

What are some rituals your culture undertakes?

What are some traditional values in your world? Does it effect daily life?

Are there any traditions that determine one's status?

Values and Opinions

Values and Opinions are the bread and butter of any culture. This is the way your culture sees the world and how they approach different life hurdles. These may differ with other cultures and be considered odd to outsiders, what one culture may value another may not and what opinion another holds, one may not. There will be historical and traditional reasons to why these values and opinions are held. Cultures usually have a paragon to which they hold their members to, a list of characteristics that they expect one to if not adhere to then aspire to. The Yoruba people value honesty, hard work, courage and integrity. Here are some questions to consider?

How important are these ethics and core values? Could somebody be ostracised for not living up to them?

What are some morals that clash with other cultures?

What does your culture precieved to be right? Or wrong?

What are some opinions that are considered to be taboo in your culture? Why?

Dress Code

For many cultures, the way somebody dresses can be important. History and ethics can effect how one is meant to be dressed such as an expectation of chastity, can impose strict modesty. While other cultures, put more importance on details, the different sorts of clothes worn and when or what colour one might wear. The Palestinian people (من النهر إلى البحر ، قد يكونون أحرارا) denoted different family ties, marriage status and wealth by the embroidery and detailing on their thoub.

Are there traditional clothes for your world? Are they something somebody wears on a daily basis or just on occasion?

Are there any rules around what people can wear?

What would be considered formal dress? Casual dress?

What would happen if somebody wore the wrong clothes to an event?

Language

Language can also be ingrained as part of a Culture. It can be a specific way one speaks or a an entirely different language. For example, in the Southern States of America, one can engage in a sort of double talk, saying something that sounds sweet whilst delivering something pointed. Bless their heart. I have a post on creating your own language here.

Arts, Music and Craft

Many cultures are known for different styles of dance, their artwork and crafts. Art is a great part of culture, a way for people to express themselves and their culture in art form. Dance can be an integral part of culture, such as céilí dance in Ireland or the Polka in the Czech Republic. Handicrafts could also be important in culture, such as knitting in Scottish culture and Hebron glass in Palestine. Music is also close to culture, from traditional kinds of singing such as the White Voice in Ukraine and the playing of certain instruments such as the mvet.

Food and Diet

The way a culture prepares or intakes or treats certain foods are important to a culture. In some cultures, there is a diet yo adhere to, certain foods are completely banned. With Jewish culture, pork is prohibited along with fish such as sturgeon, along with shellfish and certain fowl. Meat must also be prepared in a certain way and animal byproducts such as dairy, must never be created or even eaten around this meat. This is known as kosher. The way one consumes food is also important to culture. In some cultures, only certain people may eat together. Some cultures place important on how food is eaten. In Nigerian culture, the oldest guests are served first usually the men before the women. In Japanese culture, one must say 'itadakimasu' (I recieve) before eating. Culture may also include fasting, periods of time one doesn't intake food for a specific reason.

What are some traditional dishes in your world?

What would be a basic diet for the common man?

What's considered a delicacy?

Is there a societal difference in diet? What are the factors that effect diet between classes?

Is there any influence from other cuisines? If not, why not? If so, to what extent?

What would a typical breakfast contain?

What meals are served during the day?

What's considered a comfort food or drink?

Are there any restrictions on who can eat what or when?

Are there any banned foods?

What stance does your world take on alcohol? Is it legal? Can anybody consume it?

Are there any dining customs? Are traditions?

Is there a difference in formal meals or casual meals? If so, what's involved?

Are there any gestures or actions unacceptable at the dinner table?

How are guests treated at meals? If they are given deference, how so?

If only I had this

smut! mdni twenty plus

eddie making you use your words when you wanna suck his cock.

you’re in between his knees, kneeling on the floor as he sits on the edge of the bed. you just got done wrapping up his hand from one of his callouses breaking open and he stroked the side of your face with his other hand, fingers brushing your hair from your face

your cheek is leaning on his exposed thigh, mere inches from his cock straining against his boxers. he’s humming, eyes soft and yours are wide with anticipation. you whine into him, and he smiles gently

“what is it, baby? use your words, c’mon now..” and you’re fighting the urge to just take what you want from him. but you know he’ll always end up giving it to you

you lean in a little more, nudging your nose to his bulge with your eyes still on him and your hands on your knees. he chuckles, pulling your head back enough by a quick tug of your hair and you let out a quiet gasp

“won’t get what you want unless i hear it from you, sweetheart.” your blushing profusely, thighs aching from squeezing them together as you looking between his hard cock and his eyes before you lick your lips

“wanna choke on your cock, please daddy…” he bums in delight as he loosens his grip on your hair enough to push his boxers down. you take them off the rest of the way before settling back in between his thick thighs, his cock standing straight up with pre cum dribbling from the slit down his shaft

“since you asked so nicely, go on. give it a lick baby,” you suck in a breath as you lean in, licking a fat king stripe up the underside of his cock tasting his salty pre cum on you tongue as you let out a quiet moan. he hissed as you reach the top, your tongue flicking over the slit and his hand grips your hair a little bit — enough to guide your mouth down on his cock

“that’s it baby, open that pretty little throat up of yours — jus’ like that — atta girl,” you keen at the praise feeling your thighs quickly dampen and your cunt ache at his praise as he pushes you further down his cock until the tip hits the back of your throat and your nose is nestled on his pubic bone

you constrict your throat squeezing the head of his cock and he lets out a moan, bucking his hips up to push his dick further into your throat — enough to make it bulge. his eyes are trained on you — spit falling from the sides of your lips down to his balls, watching as your hands rub your thighs just aching for some sort of friction

“fuck, baby, god taking my fat cock so well..” he keeps you locked on his cock for a quick second as you breath through your nose before releasing you as you gasp for air and spit dribbling down your chin. he grabs your chin making you look up at him, his thumb swiping over your bottom lip softly — his eyes are tender on yours and a smile ghosts over his lips

“lay on the bed baby, head hanging over the edge. wanna fuck your throat and watch as you touch your pretty little cunt.” you moan in response as you quickly get up, taking the spot on the bed with your head dangling over the edge. your legs are wide open and you feel the cold air hit your dripping cunt

he stands above you, balls resting on your nose as he pushes the head of his cock past your lips and right back down your throat giving you no time to adjust before he quickly starts fucking into your throat.

“shit, fuck — “ a string of curse words leave his lips as he thrusts into you, your eyes squeezed shut as you feel his wet balls from your spit slap against your forehead. it makes your cunt drip onto the sheets, so you reach in between your legs and swipe your fingers through your cunt before circling your clit quickly

“thats it baby, play with that pretty fuckin’ pussy for me. get it nice and dripping so i can slip my cock into your tight hole just enough so i can fill you with my cum”
