I was tagged my @my-rose-tinted-glasses & @miss0atae. Thank you so much. This was such an interesting one, and I need a little time to chose my picks 🥹
Rules: The rasas are South Asian aesthetic categories that remain influential in the regions dramas and art. Literally, it’s the dominant “flavour” of a work or performance. For the game, pick a pair that represents each rasa to you. You can choose whether you want to do CP, pairings or just characters. No need to explain unless you feel like it.
