Long post ahead. Also, please don't mind my English, I'm Italian and also2, this gif weighs more than me.
First of all, I want to tell y'all how I got into SIF, and especially into Dia, and that's how it went: one day a friend of mine said "hey Jess I know you used to like LL and I'm playing this, it's a cute game if you want to play it" and I was there like "oh okay??? I'll take a look thanks". Since then, I had several accounts before creating this that I currently use, as I kept installing and unistalling the game - because I didn't even know how to play it lol -. But one day, when I had to select a starter for the thirtieth time I guess, I realized that I never had the chance to know Aqours and I kept choosing Nico or Kotori as startes - and one time Honoka - but never one of Aqours member, so I read all of their descriptions and when I saw Dia's I thought "she's very cute, her hairstyle is very similar to mine, she has a beauty mark which I have in the same spot too and her birthday is exactly one month before me so why not her". I'm not gonna lie, I was undecided between Kanan and Dia for several reasons, but Dia already had a place and a piece in/of my heart.
But the main reason that Dia means so much to me is that she kinda helped me through a very hard time of my life; when I was watching the anime, I was surprised by how much a character could be so similar to me - and to the me I used to be -: she's determined, she's perfectionist (in a good way), she's solar, she never gives up when something goes wrong and she keeps trying and trying until she reaches her target (she shares this point with Chika, my second Aqours' best girl), but she's a bit childish too and, most of all, she's a wonderful older sister. This last point is the only one I don't share with her, since I'm the younger sister in my family - I have an older brother - but her behavior towards Ruby made me improve my behavior towards my brother and now we don't even fight anymore. But, apart from that, I was becoming again the old me that I had forgot and I me, my family and my friends were very happy with it and I still think that I need to thank Dia too.
AND NOW LET'S LEAVE THIS EMOTIONAL MOMENT AND LET THE PARTY START WITH in-game things.
This year - or should I say last year? - Dia blessed me because I gained my favourite UR of her twice (Halloween v.1 Dia) and now she has 6/8 ability slot. Also, this morning I've finally Max Bonded her, so here's a screen of the "situation". From left to right: gained, idolized, max bonded, how currently is the card.
Now let's talk about the step-up scout. Unfortunately, I had only 31 love gems and only on my second account, so I managed to scout once for her and these are the results:
THREE SRs AND ONE SSR ON MY FIRST AND ONLY PULL????? WTF?????? And that SSR is one of my favourite ones too, I can't believe it. Thank you once again Dia. So, these are my current albums for both accounts.
And, least but not last, let's go to the things I've made for celebrate this day.
Since I can't buy any LL merch because I would have to pay with both of my kidneys and maybe lungs too and the only things that I currently have are keychains, I made a picture of Dia with hama beads and here's a step-by-step picture.
It's sooooo cute! I didn't imagine that it would come out so pretty, I'm very satisfied since I did everything by myself, even the template.
I've even made three lockscreen, feel free to ask me if you want to use one of them and I'll send you the original one!
I wanted even to do a minimal wallpaper but I didn't managed to finish it in time, so I guess it will be for next year. That's all - for now -, thank you for reading and have a nice day. Happy birthday once again to my best Aqours girl and happy new year everybody! DiaBirthdayGiveaway2019
Edit: I forgot to add my Dia Hell team by far (on main account) so here it is: it's obviously formed with my favourite cards of her that I own, and I'm looking forward to get all my favourite cards to complete it! Hope you like those cards too... I guess?
