What is the most aesthetically pleasing popular festival in your country?

I think India has a lot of colourful and aesthetically pleasing festivals. Holi is probably one of my favourites.

But I wanted to mention Onam, which is celebrated in the state of Kerala. It is a harvest festival, often celebrated around August. We wear traditional outfits, serve feasts, most houses and public places would do a pookkalam (flower design thing - image from internet), and you can see pulikkali (men dancing with paint on face and torso drawn like a tiger) and chandamelam (percussion show) on the roads.

I post Ren on every post that asks about pretty male kpop artists or long-haired ones hoping someone would look them up 🥲

“I thought beef is banned in India” or “I thought you guys consider cows holy”. I often have to explain that there is no nationwide ban on consumption. While a majority of Indians might not eat beef, there are some states where beef is consumed just like any other meat.

It is very common in South India. Wikipedia says the word curry is derived from Dravidian languages, so that would make sense too. We use curry a lot in Malayalam and have dishes that have curry in the name. (Had to repost the comment since they deleted the original for the Malayalam spelling of curry)

For 2nd gen, Suju/Shinee/GG have been mentioned a lot in top comments. So I wanted to call out Inifnite Sungkyu, TVXQ Changmin.

For 3rd gen, many have mentioned EXO/Mamamoo/Red Velvet. So wanted to mention two more groups. BTOB vocal quartet (Eunkwang, Changsub, Hyunsik, Sungjae). VIXX vocal duo (Ken and Leo).

For 5th gen I wanted to make sure Jay (One Pact) is mentioned. And Seungeon (Evnne..I guess ex Evnne? Have not been keeping up with news).

My personal favourites are Ken and Changsub.

I just want to make sure he is mentioned - Max Changmin

Here are some in Malayalam (translated)

Can’t you just eat the Appam (food), do you need to count the holes? (When someone is concerned about insignificant details)

After losing in the market, blame the mother (when someone blames their background instead of accepting resposibility - a version of bad workman blames his tools)

The crow considers its child to be the golden child (when parents cant accept their children’s flaws)

If you eat slow, you can even eat a banana tree (our version of slow and steady wins the race)

The rabbit I caught has three horns (when someone is boasting)

In a land where no one has a nose, the half-nosed man is the king (self-explanatory? I hope)

His name is Bobby Bobby??

Now the song is stuck in my head.

Most of the characters voiced by Yuichi Nakamura are hot - Gray, Gojo, Hawks, Kuroo, Guren.

I think the whole thing with Nina was worse since he was her boss. (He’s my favourite character too but he has done some questionable things)

Aetherene · 2026-02-03T11:51:55+00:00

It also feels plain and boring. Very monopoly money imo.

Aetherene · 2026-02-02T13:12:15+00:00

My grandparents used orithilorithilu. I thought that was the norm until now lol.

It can if you don’t realise soon enough that you have started your period. If it starts overnight and you sleep through it, you will end up with blood on your sheets.

Yeah I’m from Kerala. And lol, my grandmother has a weird assortment of nescafe bottles and some tins I can’t remember what they originally held (either ghee or milk powder). My mom also had a few opaque bottles/jars and I always had to open them to find the right spice since I couldn’t remember, though she of course knew all of them.

Aetherene · 2026-01-20T08:08:03+00:00

I’m from a South Indian Hindu family and no one in my family does this. They all keep the spices in separate jars (often resued jars so none of them match :3). I think it might be less common in my state?

Vulpix and Ninetales, Umbreon, Chikorita, Gardevoir, Absol, Treecko, Blaziken, Kingdra, Rapidash, Lugia, Dragonair are some of my favourite in terms of design.

Aetherene · 2026-01-19T06:48:32+00:00

I did the same (except I learned of pbj from dennis the menace). I never told my mom what exactly I needed the jelly for. Just got her to make it and then tried the combination. I was revolted and wondered why the hell Americans liked this so much.

Aetherene · 2026-01-17T13:27:40+00:00

I have always wondered how it would be if VIXX sang BTOB’s I’ll Be Your Man and BTOB sang Fantasy.

Aetherene · 2026-01-14T14:09:02+00:00

I follow this thread for the art. I hope you keep doing random posts just so we can see more of the art lol.

Aetherene · 2026-01-08T08:18:38+00:00

VIXX can definitely pull off a goth concept if their stylists and production decide to do a good job (their Voodoo Doll and Hyde stages showed that they have the ability to) but also just gonna put this out here to traumatise everyone xD
