Happy Pride to all guys, gals and nonbinary pals

My friend convinced me that I could draw something for Pride.

My ambitions run while my skills limp along.

Pride Month Yuri Ships:

Day #25: Akko x Diana (Little Witch Academia)

First off, happy Yuri Day everyone! Apparently that’s a thing, and I’m pretty stoked about it! Also, Happy Birthday Akko! We all hope it’s a MAGICAL day. And there’s no way it’s a coincidence that her birthday lands on the same day as Yuri Day. It means she was destined to be with Diana.

I love these two so, so much (another top five quality ship right here). They are the perfect example of how two opposites can radiate such extreme chemistry, despite all odds. And even though they seem like polar opposites, they have some very important similarities that bring them together. They are both extremely dedicated to magic and worked extraordinarily hard to get where they are today. On the other hand, they also create an ideal balance between strict and responsible and carefree and reckless. Akko’s passion and resilience inspired Diana, and she was finally able to see how special Akko really is. The last few episodes where Diana and Akko actually have positive interactions and begin to form a deeper bond were my absolute favorites and what 100% pushed me on the shipping band wagon and solidified this ship forever. I quite enjoy the premise of seeming competitors, who mostly fight and bicker, ending up liking each other in the end once they discover the beauty that lies within. And watching how Akko slowing melted Diana’s icy heart and helped her realize that her traditional views may not always be correct/the most important (in addition to Diana inspiring Akko to work as hard as possible) was just so beautiful, and shows how perfect they are for each other. They make such a formidable team who can defeat anything gets in their way. Their attraction seemed very evident in the last couple of episodes, and I really wish I had the opportunity to watch their relationship grow. Oh and of course there’s that added bonus of a muggle being with a true-born witch.

“Yes, Akko. I’m a descendant of a prestigious family of witches and wizards with a history dating back to ancient times. Don’t compare me with someone like you, who came just because you fell for some tasteless magic show. There’s no way we can get along.”
