So about the Owl House thing*TM. Duolingo has always been more "open" about queer people mostly out of practicality. It covers more bases and saves on programming random phrases to not be concerned about gendered taboos. As such, some of the "stories" it tells end up being queer oriented. Around the time these characters were introduced, the Owl House had been running for a while, with comparisons between the titular owls being received positively by both companies.

Then Amity and Luz started dating.

People obviously were hyped, but this connection brought attention to two of the new characters in Duolingo, Lily and Zari, who obviously share more than passing resemblance to Luz and Amity, even in personality. As such, Duolingo users started pairing the two. This lead to Duolingo listing the Owl House as one of Lily's interests, and advertisement featuring the pair together being more common.

Damn... Remember when Duolingo was just a language learning site?

Looks dramatically tragic in a way

I feel like Junkos always there horny one in situations like this

I haven't finished playing botw so I don't understand the pairing. Help ?

^They've got a good dynamic in my opinion, and I just dig the ship, so all I can say is "shrug" haha

Ladies, there's no need to fight.

Purr~

Aren't we due for another chapter of this?

"Hi honey!"

Scary whip lady throwing herself at the soft medium?

I just can't get enough of these two, one of the cutest couples ever.

Mumei should play Bloodborne. Plenty of berry juice in that game.

Wow, I was just looking through the images and about to close this one, thinking it's just some random characters until I recognised them and then looked at the tag to confirm. Really don't think I would've ever expected Duolingo characters.
Nothing is save from the yurification.

Wow, I haven't thought of Kaleido Star in years. And this picture is gorgeous!

Hideo Kojima approve this anime.

oh yeah, these two. i think i read the story in japanese about this two gifting gift. when i read that i got a hint of yuri vibe

Wow, even Duolingo has lore now.

Mumei looking on in delight at the chaos she has sown.

It's her four sisters, from the end of her quest.

saw the punchline coming, but still great. Also, how confident and "combat ready" she is while saying that completely got me.

i did'nt expect it per se, but not gonna lie the idea of duolingo yuri crossed my mind when i heard that the sentences where selected at random so the characters sometimes says gay things.

Been a long time since I used Duolingo. Looks like it's had a lot of developments in that time.

The MariHilda paralogue really was just Shez third wheeling hard lol
