ohhhhh, that makes sense! huge french influence, then. :B i just learned mandarin in school 'cause i was like "it's chinese, it should be close to hokkien!" but BOY WAS I SO WRONG...

i love german words?? like i love how they're conceived, and i love how german just tacks a whole bunch of crap to words to make new words. it's so fucking FUN. but then i gave up on trying to learn it when they introduced gender because german word genders don't have any rules as to how you'd know whether to use the conjugation for male/female nouns and shit and so i was just like bye

The series was the Nightwatch series! :D It's fascinating, there're mages of Light and Dark, but they aren't necessarily good and evil. Light just means that you use your magic for altruistic reasons (which isn't even portrayed as a necessarily PURE good thing) and Dark means you use your magic for your own personal benefit (which isn't even portrayed as a necessarily bad thing either). It's great and I love it and I've wanted a Nightwatch AU for AGES. It's 'cause of Nightwatch that I started listening to Russian bands and stuff despite not understanding a LICK of what I'm hearing, it's just so good.

YO IT'S COOL TO HAVE RANDOM CURIOSITY ABOUT RUSSIA!!!!! That's honestly so fascinating *__*

My older sister randomly learned Mandarin Chinese and did a University degree in it and I'm still just like HOW DO ALL THESE PICTOGRAMS WHAT. And I take it Hokkien is a different kind of Chinese from Mandarin and Cantonese?

French is the same with the word genders. My main failing with French and German is that I can read it okay, but I'm not so good speaking or writing it as I can't remember the word genders and my grammar isn't so good ~~i love Russian because there is no word for 'the'~~

fkl;';d;z;dl;zd;ddcz;lk;;; NO FUCKIN' WAY, MAN. Okay. So. I may just happen to have all four of the Nightwatch books in English just sitting on my bookshelf and I've just not gotten around to reading them yet because I hoard books like a motherfucker but if you want AU Nightwatch!Tomo that's as good a reason as any to bump 'em up my reading list, yeah? I mostly read fantasy and sci-fi and comics and manga and shit anyway.

I FIND DEPRESSING THINGS REALLY INTERESTING. Like my main interest in Russia is the horrible period of history under Stalin, and the criminal society which existed in the gulags when he was in power, and I've read loads of books about corrupt Russian politics and I'm like wtf is wrong with me

"RANDOMLY LEARNED MANDARIN CHINESE" IM SCREAMING..... WHAT THE FUCK SDFL;JLS;DG????? HOW SMART DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO DO SUCH A THING RANDOMLY OMG...... like dude, yeah, it's TOTALLY different. Hokkien/Mandarin/Cantonese? IT'S ALL DIFFERENT. And the version of Hokkien I know is probably different from the Hokkien they use in China, even, so it's like. :3rz

at least you can understand the language?? usually that's enough to consume all the cool media anyway so hehehehehe

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU RANDOMLY HAVE THE COMPLETE NIGHTWATCH THOUGH, I'M LAUGHING??? Dude, I deffo recommend it, it's one of my FAVOURITES. And now that you mention it I'm gonna end up re-reading it, ugh, I love the lore and shit, it's so good. I wasn't even specifically thinking Nightwatch!Tomo but now that you put it in my head I can imagine him having started out as a magician of the Light and then switching over to Dark later on and just GGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

there's nothing wrong with you :| I failed my history classes all throughout school until we got to the wars and massacres SO YOU KNOW, I TOTALLY FEEL YOU

My sister went to University to study biosciences but realised she wasn't enjoying it so just went I'M GONNA LEARN MANDARIN CHINESE INStEAD LOL and went and got a degree in that instead. She's super-clever and shit and she's married with kids now whereas I'm the stupid child by comparison, let's just say Kazoku Game hit a nerve because I am Shigeyuki ~~seriously it's fine, I get on with her really well~~

I AM A HOARDER OF BOOKS. Do you have anything like charity shops/thrift stores there? Where people donate their unwanted stuff and you can buy it really cheap? I'm always picking up books, far more than I'll ever be able to read, because I just fucking love books so I stockpile them in case I get around to reading them one day and the Nightwatch series is one I thought I'd like. Put it this way, there's one second-hand bookshop I go to so often that the owner will go out to get his lunch and leave me in charge for five minutes because I'm such a regular customer, so...yeah.

SORRY YOU SAID AU AND I PRESUMED YOU MEANT A TOKIO AU AAAAAH

sd;lksdf i'm glad you two are getting along?? but dang, whenever i hear stories of people who can just succeed like that i always go like "WELL, I HOPE I DON'T FALL FLAT ON MY FACE IN ADULTHOOD". but here i am with my face on the cold hard ground anyway

that's... so cute... omg ;_; i don't visit bookstores much because i don't read lots of books written in english, which is pretty much all that is sold here in the philippine city. i just buy a crapton of japanese novels on-line, or visit the tinier bookstores 'cause that's where they sell the REALLY GOOD tagalog stuff and not the weird tagalog romance novels with airbrushed photos of white celebrities on the covers wtf. i also can't really use my money on books as much as i'd like 'cause i'm paying for school and junk--i don't even get to eat properly when i'm not in my parents' home, ahahaha. BUT THAT'S LIFE.

I MEAN, WHEN I SAY AU I MEAN I'LL AU ANYTHING i just never quite imagined it with tokio specifically, only that i wanted a nightwatch anything and now i REALLY REALLY WANT IT BECAUSE ADDING TOKIO TO ANYTHING MAKES IT DOUBLY WORSE FOR ME
