Try and try again. That is definitely the theme when I was writing this, and then rewriting

this. I cannot believe I lost the original one, but I think in the end, this is much better than my

first draft of this. This is because I wasn't entirely sure of what to do with the Miraculous,

Elemental powers, and the lions as well as Altea. Sure, destroying Altea may seem cheap, but I

didn't want to write an Atlantis two situation with it. That being said, I am surprised no one has

written a version with Lance and Allura as Milo and Kida. My main struggle with this was the

Miraculous and to a degree Genshin Impact, but Miraculous more so. If any of you remember

what Miraculous did with their writing for season 4 and how they portrayed some of the female

characters, it wasn't the best in my opinion, and I couldn't handle the writing at certain parts. I

didn't comment, but I did watch everything unfold. In the end, I decided to stop watching the

show for the plot and characters. I stayed until I had everything I needed for the Kwamiis which

would be used for this story and the future ones which I haven't decided if I am going to write

one or two stories to end this. This is why it was frustrating for me to write this at times. Then,

Sumeru with Genshin happened. The lack of melanin and combining a few cultures together is

not the best idea. I cannot fathom why they thought this was a good idea. Now, I kept the

Genshin aspect, but I didn't use any Sumeru characters. I want to wait and see if those

characters will receive update outfits that are more appropriate for the region and introduce

more characters that are diverse with the region. This was the best solution I could come up with

to satisfy both groups equally. I do think Genshin will do something and add more characters to

Sumeru eventually, but I cannot understand Ladybug anymore. I also didn't want to disappoint

anyone who was looking forward to the Kwamiis. I think keeping the Kwamiis and doing

something different was the best solution to this. As for why this took me so long to finish, a lot

of events, shows, and video games came up. I didn't expect so many games to be released, but I

had so many ideas I wanted to write and create for the year that this was pushed back. I also

didn't want to rush to finish it. That is not fair to those who were waiting for this, and I do not

want to release a terrible story. I will admit, this was up and down, but I am grateful it is finished

and I was able to write everything I wanted to accomplish with it. With that being said, I hope

you enjoyed it! The Thank You Universe expanded to include more locations and characters!

Please look forward to reading! Thank you for enjoying the story!
