Are there any unusual societal norms in your world?
Victorian societal norms started to be unusual, until some conservative people wanted them to make them the norm again 😒

What are the beauty standards like in your world and do they impact any of your characters? These were the standards of the Victorian era: For women, the ideal of beauty was inspired by illness (tuberculosis in particular): a pale complexion, dilated pupils, corsets, and heavy but brightly colored clothing that restricted movement and breathing. Men were expected to have an imposing physique (not necessarily strong, being fat was well perceived) wearing dark clothing. #wordweavers 2026-05-10
