populations and peoples donāt just suddenly change at a border marker. cultures interact and blend.
there are usually a multitude of cultures in one place, and religions often have different factions within them
what are the differences between the upper and lower classes? is there a lower class? what system is used? fuedalism? capitalism? communism?
how does your society view and deal with poverty?
think about the diaspora. invent a large population of immigrants. why are they there? how long have they lived there? how does their culture now differentiate from their homeland?
languages. is there a global lingua francaĀ (a language that people use to speak internationally. historically this has been latin and french, and right now, english)? if so, why That One? are there smaller lingua francas within different nations?
a large country will almost always have smaller languages within it. put some in. you donāt even have to name them, just have someone mention that they often have to translate for their parents
the lingua franca will usually be the language of the majority, but not always. if a particular ethnic group has control of the government, and therefor education, then that language will probably become more widespread. although sometimes there areĀ āofficial languagesā andĀ ādaily languagesā
i could write a whole other post about languages honestly
what things do different cultures see as beautiful? is it eyes? hair? what parts of the body are considered scandalous. are the bodies of men and women seen differently? how do people feel about breasts?
how is makeup used? is it daily? is it ceremonial? do different colours and patterns have meanings or is purely for aesthetic? is it seen as gendered?
basically just donāt take everything in your culture as theĀ ānorm.ā there is no norm. the world is weird.
learn about other cultures in our own world. please.

while im not sure if the mad god will appear to people other than lemming and mouse yet, one thing im certain of is the mad god appears differently to different people based on how they, like, think of the mad god?
initially the mad god mimics lemmingās appearance to ~mess with his brain~, after their first few encounters this changes. iām kind of working on that but i think lemming is kind of like............ what does a human look like (mentally generates a hot dude)
the mad god appears to mouse kind of like a potential vague older version of herself. though she doesnāt realize it, her mad god also looks a hell of a lot like her father, the leader of the cult.
at some point the mad god shows lemming mouseās version to fuck with him bc the mad god is like hey i kind of look like an older mouse huh? bc sheās going to become the vessel of the mad god? this is what you really think of her, isnāt it, even though you try to deny it
when lemming ultimately confronts mouseās father heās like. you people talk a lot about how the mad god doesnāt have just one face... the mad god can be any person at any time. but iāve seen the mad god in my dreams, and, wouldnāt you know it? iāve seen your face before
and i think if the mad god ever appeared to mouseās father, theyād look the same
think i tend to talk/think a lot more abt lemming than mouse which isnāt quite fair since theyāre supposed to be Equally Main Characters of order rodentia.
i guess i donāt have as solid a handle on her character? also donāt really know how to write children lol. but im gonna ramble abt her under the cut
but like mouseās childhood pre-lemming is........... :( like deeply fucked up not in a normal way b/c this is what happens when your parents are part of a cult and you were brought into existence for the express purpose of becoming a vessel for the mad god so that the mad god could be killed.
she hasnāt necessarily beenĀ āmistreatedā as in like... her physical needs have been met, sheās a relatively healthy average human girl of her age. though thatās really not saying much when the people raising you do not.... like you are not a child to them. you are a tool. and even if they were not necessarily, like,Ā ācruel,ā thatās an incredibly cruel way to think of a child, and it obviously had an effect on mouse.
bc mouse has never, like, been outside of this environment, this is. this is like her System of Thought. she doesnāt know this is wrong and sheāll comment on it in the most blase matter much to the horror of her new parents. and sheās eight! sheās a baby. she like does not even begin to have the ability to process how terrible all this is
mouseās major influences have been a) the cult and b) the mad god visiting her in her dreams. neither of which are great! and i think the like, uh, obvious results of this on her personality are like. the cult primarily shaped her view of herself and her existence... like she views herself as essentially belonging to a greater purpose. she doesnāt even really view herself as a person as much as a purposeful creation? she hasnāt been told that purpose was to be killed. but honestly she canāt really process what death means, sheād accept being killed.
the mad god essentially is like. the Origin Of Mouseās Few Social Skills. the mad god is the only person in mouseās life pre-lemming who has actually socialized with her and treated her in a positive way as opposed to like, a āthis is my dutyā kind of way. the mad god also stresses the kind ofĀ āgreater purposeā kind of thing.
interacting with the mad god has led mouse to develop a morbid sense of humor and generally oddly cheery and cheeky personality. like, she almost seems like a normal, if kinda silly eight year old sometimes? but thereās always something kind of off about the way she acts. and in certain situations you realize oh my god, what the fuck? she can be really surprisingly observant and insightful and she literally does not care about anything. which to be fair is kind of how kids are generally. she looks at you and figures out your deepest fear in an instant and she does not care about how it affects you.
the cult doesnāt like, Discourage mouseās interactions with the mad god since like....... getting her to be the mad godās vessel is kind of the point? i donāt think itās ever been explicitly stated to her that the cultās purpose is to kill the mad god/that they, uh, hate the mad godās existence. but sheās kind of picked up on some like. I Donāt Think They Like My God-Parent.
(i think mouse might actually just straight up call/think of the mad god as her parent? she has no idea who her actual parents are)
while the mad god and the cult obviously have very different goals in mind for mouse neither of them are like..... hey youāre a kid, just be a kid, even if the mad god generally has uh, a lot ākinderā intentions. since obviously the mad god does not want to be killed, and so does not want mouse to be killed. letting mouse be a kid is up to lemming and his friends.
mouse is initially like uh. ok with lemming because sheās likeĀ āmy parent told me in a dream youāre ok :)ā but lemming genuinely cares about her (as do his friends!) and this makes this really deep impression on her that she canāt quite process at first because literally no one has actually cared about her as a kid before! and mouse ends up conflicted b/w this dawning realization that it is incredibly fucked up how sheās been treated and how sheās thought of her life, but at the same time she still does view it as, like, her duty to become the vessel of the mad god even though this will mean giving up the ability to be a normal child

realizing ive never actually like written/stated this but kaime and chrono are both 100% autistic. like not necessarily saying other lox characters arenāt. just that those two are like 100% inarguably in my head
other misc thoughts: kaime is like Has No Empathy while chrono is hyperempathetic. chrono likes 2 wear a lot of bracelets and fiddles with them all the time and he hates wearing sleeves. kaime is like If I Am Not Wearing Long Pants And Sleeves All The Time I Will Die.
i think kaime tends to be a lot more observant/has learned to pick up on a lot more like... social cues than chrono has. theyāre still kind of likeĀ āidk what to do with theseā though. like chrono is likeĀ āidk what emotion i am supposed to express in this situation, aaa hold on i need to guessā and kaime is likeĀ āok i am supposed to respond with sadness, but like........... idcā
kaime i think can tend to come off as kind of Cold? but theyāre really chill and generally nonjudgmental they just donāt tend to make much of an effort to socialize or see much point in it. chronoās a lot more talkative and outgoing but a lot of what he says is not very comprehensible to people who are not lucian, and even then not all. (chrono voice) time magic is like, so like imagine a river, and time is the water, and youāre a rock in the water, except like, a sentient rock,
in a similar vein saivel and chrono are both inarguably trans, kaime is inarguably agender, dianaās gender is lesbian. doceo is genderfluid. not necessarily saying other lox characters are cis. i think abt aaron being trans but im like. undecided on it. fuse exists in a nebulous gender void
i feel like to some degree... kaime and saivelās relationship parallels lucian and chronoās relationship. theyāve been friends for a long time, and by the events of lox, theyāre extremely close. they essentially only have each other to rely upon after dealing with traumatic events.
and i think in both cases itās important that they kind of. like. branch out and meet new people (the rest of the lox crew), and spend some time apart from each other.
but while i think lucian and chrono stay extremely close (and like, get married) saivel and kaime became so close and like... tied up in each other that it became really unhealthy in a way lucian and chrono werenāt really? bc lucian and chrono still had other people to trust and to some extent their religion to guide them but kaime and saivel really only had each other.
like i think saivel kind of enables kaimeās loner tendencies and, like, theyāre polite to people, but they donāt necessarily make friends very easily. and like in part this is because saivel is afraid theyāll leave her.
and kaime kind of enables saivelās more self destructive tendencies by always, like, cleaning up after her but not necessarily confronting her about her actions. bc they have difficulty with confrontation and also because, in some sense, knowing that they are relied upon/can help her in a concrete way makes them feel better?
like, once things are worked out, theyāre still good friends! but itās in a significantly different way than from before the events of lox.

lyric is definitely aware on some level that lemming and sa-shin were a thing but he doesnāt. know 100% and he doesnāt know how to bring it up so heās just like (nervously drinks tea)
i dont think he interacts with sa-shin that much? mostly they know each other bc lemming talks about both of them p often, theyāre his good friends! lyric occasionally visits for business reasons.Ā
itās like the worldās weirdest love triangle that becomes a love.... quadrangle?
legend of xia is in large part about likeā¦ moving on from the past, i guess? and redemption/forgiveness? everyoneās dealing with their own tough backstories and forging on to a new, happier future together.Ā
so itās about like. reaching out and helping people and getting help from people to improve not only yourself but the people around you, instead of closing yourself off to try and avoid getting hurt
thereās also like Supposed to be order vs chaos and finding balance between the two but i always think of lox primarily as a found family story and forget that thereās a plot to it
order rodentia is more involved, thematically. like, i know what iām doing more.
the most obvious theme is abt childhood and lemming trying to raise mouse the right way and let her have a childhood in the midst of all the messy plot thatās happening around her. which on a deeper level is abt growing up with trauma bc mouseās previous guardians were waaaay shitty.
on another level, with lemmingās Three Romantic Interests, thereās more abt like. faith and idealism vs reality and What Is Reality, Really
and likeā¦ thereās also the idea of fate and stuffā¦. and perceptionā¦ having a better idea of the themes in OR doesnāt mean iām actually all that clear on them LMAO
huh. remembered my thoughts on lox were that the whole order vs chaos theme would be expressed thru views of different characters in lox... different members of the lox crew (+ minor characters and antagonists) having different approaches and views and fuse coming to his own conclusion abt it.
and obviously the greater order as a religion though im EH on religion being a big thematic thing in lox, itās not my style
