The Avengers as People You Meet During Raya:

That one uncle who casually has the latest gadgets but instead of talking about them, he talks about some latest tech news everyone pretends to understand. Sampul duit raya dia paling tebal, your other uncles also wanna salam him.

Your 70-year-old sado uncle who is very proud of Malaysians and being Malaysian but quietly also works for the government kinda sometimes. Can do tarawih all day but never brings it up.

Your mat rock cousin with a lot of family issues that he pushes aside for raya. Very handy with tools and got fat during MCO. When he gets too happy he'll wonder out loud if he's worthy of being in the family.

Your cousin from sekolah budak jahat who teaches you how to make your own mercun and sneak out to smoke funny smelling cigarettes. Always pranking everyone and you don't understand why the adults hate him.

Your shy nerdy cousin. You've heard him yell at kids but never seen him do it. He looks thinner and v different the first time you saw him but now he just looks like Mark Ruffalo. Maybe you remembered him wrong.

Always cleaning up after you boys. Dulu selalu pi clubbing, freehair sekarang pakai tudung. You never notice she's in your house, tahu-tahu sampai. You suspect she's Russian because she's related to Malay royalty.

Your cousin who is very good at darts. Can throw pop-pop under someone's foot as they're walking. You know him for years but only last raya did you find out he has a wife and kids he never talks about.

Your uncle who works in the army. Has the best mercun and bunga api. You love going out in his car to buy raya supplies because he gets to park in the handicap spot and you think that's cool because you're 9

Your uncle who the rest of the family is extra careful around because he used to do some bad stuff but since rehab he got better. But did he? Everyone kinda kesian him also because his arm kena meriam buluh

Your cousin who very buddy buddy with the sado uncle but can't keep up with his workouts. Talks a lot about flying so you thought he was a pilot but it turns out he's a wingsuit flyer which is cool. He brought his drone which is fine but kinda annoying.

That cousin who's always wearing headphones and listens to old music. He brags about doing stuff you don't understand with people you've never heard of in places you're not sure exists. You ask around and find out he works at Guardian

The girls who color their hair and have piercings but their single dad is cool about it. Keeps wanting to beat the other in video games. But one of them is an amputee so you're like why is the short one so angry at her but it's none of your business so you just drink more air gas

Your tattooed cousin who keeps making the dumbest jokes imaginable. You suspect he's got brain damage but you don't say anything because his pecs are so large you can see them from behind

The cousin who's weird hot and half not Malay but you're too polite to ask. Has a makeup tutorial YouTube channel that's only popular in Korea.

He's a referee for that match your team lost

oyen

Your cousin who you saw only once. Does his wudhu super fast. You could've sworn he belongs to a different family because his socmed photos are all with the X-Men

The Smart TV everyone looks at while the grownups chat about politics or whatever

Your cousin who reads Mastika a lot and claims to be able to see benda ghaib. In love with the Smart TV and got very upset when the screen cracked bila one of the uncles nak cabut the cable

Your cousin who got in jail but everyone in the family believes he was innocent. Hilarious, good with kids and does close up magic. He brought Baskin Robbins.

Your cousin who looks like Victoria Beckham every raya. Only eats the almond londons and smiles + laughs in pictures but never in person. She's just very busy probably

Your favourite cousin who does parkour on tiktok. He's your go-to guy for tech advice, and you're his go-to person to ask for girl advice. You have none so you show him video games instead. He's absolutely cool with that.

That cousin who's a member of a royal family. Really likes playing with cats. One time he ate sayur lodeh and had a seizure but he woke up with muscles and everyone took pictures like it was normal. All his clothes look like raya clothes.

That one cousin who comes with a great hairdo, brought her special rendang for everyone, and gave out duit raya for everybody... but only on raya ke-28 because she's doing her masters overseas

The doctor cousin who talks about new developments in health sciences and chakras in the same sentence. Always wears his thawb that is so flowy it moves on its own sometimes. He brought air zam-zam.

"Nak balik dah? Jangan lupa salam atuk dia ada kat bilik"
