*ੈ✩‧₊˚notes: first post! this is ethnicity edition. enjoy!*ੈ✩‧₊˚

in our world, lloyd would be half greek from his dads side & half japanese from his moms side.

although attending a boarding school for the early years of his life, he can speak japanese fluently because he chose it as the language he’d learn. he didn’t even know he was japanese at the time. he continued learning it after he left.

adding to the last point, lloyd barely looks japanese. majority of his physical demeanour comes from his fathers side, even though he believes he doesn’t look greek.

lloyd can’t speak greek at all, but he can read parts of it. understands words here and there. his father was never in his life to teach him, and he overall had no interest in learning the language until his uncle wu started showing him greek literature and mythology.

because of this, lloyd loves & has a heavy tie to the mythology. he finds it quite enticing and loves the rich history behind it. he feels like it’s the only part of his paternal side that he can connect with.

lloyd can speak russian. it’s his 3rd language. before finding out his other half was greek, he heavily believed it was russian.

russian and japanese are two very comfortable languages for him. he’ll find himself using russian words while speaking english or japanese, and vice versa in all circumstances.

lloyd doesn’t like swearing in english or japanese. it feels wrong to him - they both seem like such sweet languages. as soon as he starts speaking russian, that breaks. he starts swearing uncontrollably. he’ll mutter russian swears underneath his breath when mad.

lloyd is very tied to japanese culture. as soon as his mother stepped back into his life, he wanted to know EVERYTHING. he’s gone through multiple rabbit holes of japanese legends and myths. yes, he believes all of them.

sometimes, lloyd wishes he’d look more japanese than greek. no matter how many excuses he makes for his absent father, he doesn’t want to look at himself in the mirror and see his father staring back at him. it breaks a bit of him everyday.
