hey does anyone have any Monster Culture™ ideas

OH BOY DON’T I HAVE A FEW IDEAS

• Monsters live in super close knit communities, it’s fairly normal and completely socially acceptable for acquaintances and friends to just show up at each other’s doors unannounced.

• For that reason most monster households have at least 1 extra chair and whatnot to be able to accommodate any visitors, on specific holidays and stuff you even set the table for an extra person even if no one ever shows up.

• It was for that exact reason that Pyrare isolating himself from pretty much everyone was a huge deal. That’s just completely outside the norm for Monsters.

• Speaking of which Monsters are also a lot more physically affectionate cultural. It is very common for friends to hold hands, cuddle and whatnot and actually is the status quo. They are like bees, they huddle together for warmth and safety. - Hence why Pyrare has a habit of being overly affectionate and not realising the other’s aren’t 100% on board because to him it’s as natural as saying please and thank you.

• Monster shapes rarely care much about different “shape types” like pyramids, pentagons and so on unlike normal shapes do. Most monsters have mixed heritage and actually they did not even have names for different “shapes” before they adapted it from normal shapes.

• Alchemy and making potions for healing purposes is common for Monsters, most families have their own special recipes and practices for them too. (Why? Because I think they’re neat that’s why)

• Stars and the night sky are a huge deal in Monster culture, you use it for navigation, to tell the time of year, it is believed to have prophetic significance and so many linguistic things revolve around stars for them. (By that I mean that they have a lot of metaphors and sayings connected to it)

• Also speaking of sayings they have a lot of folk weather sayings (just like Slovak has pranostiky omg!! What a completely coincidental occurrence)

• They eat with their hands or they drink stuff from bowls. Who needs cutlery when most animals are already bite sized and also when they have sharp claws?

• Do not be mistaken however. They still have a lot weirdly specific and niche dining etiquettes and customs.

• Also because they only have a single eye it is considered a very precious thing that must be protected. Illnesses that lead to blindness and vision problems are viewed as tragedy since monsters already have worse vision even without any additional complications. Good vision in monsters is seen as the pinnacle of good health. (Pyrare tends to fuss over Gold reading in the dark a lot because of it.)

• They function purely on a trading and gifting basis, money does not exist in Monster communities.

I agree wholeheartedly and would like to add on to these!

Omg yesss I love all of these and I agree 100% and I feel the need to expand upon some of these :3

Also I had to add these

• Because of the alchemy thing a lot of Monsters own small amounts of poison in their homes since they are also used as remedies however this has led to many sad folk tales being centred around poisonings.

• Also speaking of poison most alcohols Monsters consume are deadly to other shapes because they contain an absurd amount of toxins. I’m talking like Datura levels of poison. As a shape taking a few sips of that can leave you with side effects ranging from comas to schizophrenia to death.

• Speaking of alcohol it is fairly common in small amounts since it warms monsters up and they tend to live in very cold environments. Also a thing younger monsters tend to do to get drunk is to shrink a little when they drink so that it takes less substance to actually feel something. This is generally regarded as unsafe and quite frankly stupid amongst older monsters (although plenty are guilty of doing it in their youth)
