The Blood Moon is rising... (Terrarian)
The Bloodmoon is rising (Solstheimian)
I feel like it’d be ‘Solstheimer’, but I can’t explain why. Just rolls off the tongue better.
I can see that. Your suggestion is a lot Solstheimer than what I wrote. Is it the Solstheimest though?
I have my bears (French)
I never heard it before, and I'm french.
We are saying "The indians are coming" though, which is racist af
Never heard it either. Missed opportunity to quote "The English are landing" ("Les anglais débarquent", referring the Redcoats) though
Yeah it's "I have my rules" /sj

A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way "moon" is used there is similar to month, so it's basically "the time of the month is here" said as "datang bulan"
"I have my bears" does not exist in the french language.
Kindly,
A french guy.
Who would go on the internet and lie?
A common one in German is Erdbeerwoche (strawberry week).
I have never heard this expression. Which part of Germany is that from?
I have heard it in numerous places. More predominantly in west to north-west states. But I also remember that TV ads have used this term. So I would say it's used nation-wide.
I seem to have missed it in the north east and central Germany. Then again, I don't think I ever heard someone say something other than "Ich habe meine Tage" except for some creepy dudes with skeleton T-Shirts talking about being brave seamen that don't fear the red sea. Which I always found kinda icky.
Erdbeerwoche and "die Tante ist zu Besuch" are pretty common around Berlin.
German: there are painters in the cellar.
Scottish: got the painters in.
Some things cross language boundaries.
oh lawd he comin
Mom used to call it "hilloviikot" or "jam weeks" in English.
Japanese flag week - My friend at uni
Are they communists because they are red or because they have seized the means of production? 🤔

A common one in Guatemala is "I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month."
It is used because Andrés rhymes with month (mes).
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
The lingonberry one was pretty common where I grew up in a Swedish speaking area in Finland, so I know that one is real.
I've definitely used communists in the funhouse, though I'm not Danish
The Danish one is true at least. Its quite a common phrase.

I'm pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren't any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made
Well, I am french and I've never heard the phrase "I have my bears"...
In Icelandic you say you're on tour
Some other Swedish ones:
Jam in the pancake crease - Sylt i plättväcket (plätt(ar) is a small kind of pancake)
Closed for the week - Stängt för veckan
Old Lady red - Tant röd
The misery - Eländet
Month crazy - Månadsgalen
I kind of like "Closed for the week" "Go away and don't bother me, I'm closed this week due to bleeding." :D
Dunno if it has some funny, wide-area name in my country but my parner and her mother simply say aunt visits them. xD

Garibaldi is coming is oddly menacing.
Communists in the funhouse is what I call it when I let the homies hit
Most common one in Germany is "I have my days".
