More L Headcanons
L speaks a ton of languages. He IS a genius, after all. While Light only speaks Japanese and English... L knows 45 languages. Yes. You read that right.
L can fluently speak English, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Croatian, Polish, Modern Greek, Romanian, Latin, Armenian, Turkish, Hebrew, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese.
He can passably speak or is learning: Arabic, Persian, Kurdish, Swahili, Yoruba, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, Basque, Ukrainian, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Modern Scots, Irish, Romani, Yiddish, Venetian, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Czech, Sanskrit, Old English, Ancient Greek, and Revived Old Prussian.
Some of the ancient or otherwise rare languages are simply for historical knowledge (Latin, Ancient Greek, Old English, Sanskrit) or interest (Revived Old Prussian).
L can also change his accent to sound like a native speaker for most of the languages he speaks fluently or passably. This is why he is able to speak Japanese so well. It also allows him to hide his true nationality for safety reasons.
His natural accent is the Received Pronunciation British accent.
L tries not to swear. While blunt, he is polite. If he is swearing it means he is very frustrated or upset.
If he texts or sends an email, he types out everything. He does not use abbreviations or slang, although he does understand them.
If he owned a pet, it would be a cat. Dogs would be too much effort.
L can sleep normal hours. When he’s working a case he tends to stay up late, and if he’s really invested or stressed, he’ll stay up all night.
He likes big, comfy beds. A queen size is the smallest he will accept unless a small bed is all that’s available.
L can play the piano and a few other instruments (organ, flute, lyre, and duduk). He plays them when stressed or when he wants to.
