Please read this before reading the entire post!
Even though im pulling from real world cultures and ethnicities, the Cookie run Kingdom universe only takes inspiration from real world cultures. Either through references, clothing or architecture. But remember, this is a fantasy world full of gods, heros and backed goods. Their views on themselves as deserts and people as well as the origin of each kingdom will not make line up 1 to 1 with their real world inspiration, because it is inspiration. So they will have their own rules, government, culture etc etc as we see in game. These headcanons would only effect language, architecture, music, clothing and small references. So they would not identify as 'Korean' or 'Dominican" they are just 'Cacaion" or a 'Dark Chocolate flavored cookie'
The Dark Cacao Kingdom is canonlly based on Joseon-era Korea, and as such the architecture, culture, and clothing is based of it.
Though, the Cacao fruit itself originates and is grown in African, Southern + Central American areas such as the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast.
1. Ethnic real world inspo
So I head canon the Dark Cacao Nation as a whole be ethically Central American and Korean. That means anyone who is made of chocolate or cacao or have Cacaion in their jam (The Milk Tribes adapting the culture but being ethically different.)
Dark Cacao Cookie being different then the modern Cacaioans since he is 10,000+ years old, meaning he and Dark Choco would be ethnically different from his subjects, influencing the Dark Cacaoian culture. Meaning The Dark Cacao Kingdom's culture would be quite different from other chocolate sub-groups and nations. But as I said before, this is simply cultural inspiration not a 1 to 1 adaptation.
2. Deities And Culture Environment
The Dark Cacao Kingdom's culture in universe is heavily influenced by the mythology surrounding the Twin Dragons, defeated by Dark Cacao Kingdom. Aswell as the belief and practice of the Light of Resolution (which overlaps often with Confucianism, practiced in Joseon-era Korea). Out of all of the Kingdoms, their government and faith is heavily surrounded around Dark Cacao Cookie himself, being a centralized monarch with such power and appearance in myth. Even against his will he is often worshiped in the villages and tribes as a sort of god, having the power of dragons, souljam and often causing storms with a single swing of his sword.
3. Language
The Cookie world has 1 common language, but also has MANY native languages based on region, culture, race etc etc. Each of the 5 kingdoms speak the common language as a secondary national language but have their own native primary language.
Pure Vanilla Kingdom: Called Vanillish (Pronounced VEN-ill-ish), English mixed with a ancient in-universe language and Romanian. (Note the common language is NOT english.)
Holly Berry Kingdom: Called 'Hollyberrian', French with ALOT of borrowed words from the other languages.
Dark Cacao Kingdom: Called Cocoish (Pronounced Coh-Cah-ow-ish) Korean + Spanish + Brazilian Portuguese and bits of Dragon-tongue
Golden Cheese Kingdom: Called Cheesic (Pronounced Cheese-ick) Egyptian Arabic Mixed with a ancient in-universe language.
Cocoish developed from Dark Cacao's mother tongue; 'Theobroma', which was a mixture of ancient common tongue, Darktongue (a magical language used in dark magic), and real-world Spanish, primarily Spanish. Theobroma originated in the ancient Cacao war bans in Ancient Dragons Valley where Dark Cacao Cookie grew up. Bringing and teaching the language over to the Dark Cacao Kingdom when he first founded it (he only knew some of the common language and Theobroma when first founding it.). The inhabitance of the Great Icing ridges were the Coffee tribes (Speaking Ancient Caffinic, the in-universe equivalent to Brazilian Portuguese, a language still spoken today.) There was also the Licorice Tribes who spoke Glabra (A rare Licorice language mostly lost to time) which was a ancient language almost 1 to 1 to real world Korean. Overtime the 3 language's converged into modern day Cocoish.
Dark Cacao is one of the few who still speak Theobroma, since it is not often taught and the predominate language is Cocoish, but Dark Choco and many cookie in Dragons Valley still speak it today.
If Anyone wants me to yapp about other languages or dive deep let me know!
4. Spirituality
Canonly the Dark Cacao Kingdom believes in spirits and honoring the fallen warriors of the Watchers and Warriors. Taking it another step forward I headcanon that they often preform sermonizes or setup alters for their loved ones aswell as the creatures of the Great Icing Ridges. And example of this could be personal alters at home, holidays, performances and dance. There are obviously canon priests who pray and give offering to the licorice sea, as well as the existence of the Alter of The Fallen, so im not that far off. As for their relationship with the nature and monster around them I feel Cacaions worship and celebrate even the most vicious of monster and possessed weapons. Even when slaying a Snow Peak Prowler it is seen as a exchange of energy, a watcher would acknowledge and celebrate the life of a fallen ally or animal rather than silent mourning them, since they believe that they are watching over them along as they are under Dark Cacao Domain.
5. Dance and Song
Despite being very strict and cold, I headcanon the Dark Cacao Kingdom to have dance and song deeply integrated in their celebrations, rituals, and even in their fighting style. It is often said that a Watcher's fighting style when not fighting with weapons can often be mistaken for dancing.
The types of Cacaion Dance takes inspiration from many different real world dances, such as Brazilian Samba, Salsa, Merengue and many others. Often including complex foot work, fast but sturdy rhythm, and lots of hip movement. Their music would consist of a mix of the in game soundtrack along with heavy drums, bass and string instruments, as well as chore and vocals. Almost every Cacaian knows how to play an instrement or dance.
6. Theater and Arts
Another unexpected thing that is extremely valued in the Dark Cacao Kingdom: the arts and musical theater. Masked theater and Korean theater being a popular form of entertainment and storytelling, utilizing puppets and craftsmanship. Realism Oil painting, collagraphy and poetry being a high valued practice aswell. Painting and poetry often describing the world around them, the harsh conditions and strong resolution they carry, popularized by the King himself.
Misc:
I know I have mentioned mostly of central American culture in the canonly Korean based kingdom. So I wanted to list the cultural things predominately Korean based that I will touch on in a part 2:
- Craftsmanship
- Clothing
- Beauty Standards (Although beauty isn't all that valued in the Dark Cacao Kingdom)
- Food
- Writing
- Weaponry
- Architecture
Sorry for this long ass yapp, I wanted to do this in the cookie run kingdom comic studio but i realized that I had too much to say. I will be doing Dark Cacao Headcanons soon so stay tuned. Let me know if anyone want to hear about the other kingdoms or even the Beast's domain. Bye bye!
I don’t know if I should start another blog, because this is my writers blog and I only write for cookie run kingdom. But I might have a yapping blog for cookie run or just in general. Maybe a roleplaying or AU blog.. I don’t know maybes it’s the new years but I feel productive. I want to speak even though noone is actually hearing the words that I am saying
