hey kings

it’s y’girl!

...Please accept a sub 3000 chapter as my formal apology for deleting myself for almost a year

#darkside detective #The Darkside Detective #Okay kings we're gonna try to keep this a light and funny ha-ha tag ramble #Because things got kinda heavy last time I got asked about the fic so! We're having fun! #...Okay I know I said we weren't gonna be that heavy but 👏 #It's trivia time champs #So uh. Among other things... McQueen's dad was not planned to be dead from the start? #...oh spoilers also read the chapter first #But I think because I've experienced three things dying this year (including like. a human man) that's basically all Ive been getting lately #Along with this we have another case of 'I rewrote the first half of the chapter again' #This time we missed an instance of Dad McQueen uh. Existing #And like McQueen's first 'case' in the heaviest air quotes I can manage #It's something he brings up in his 'eulogy' so you can get. A vague idea #Also if you pay close attention #You can see exactly where I started writing today #And while I feel like being self-deprecating here and already have #I don't really want to be #Because I realized one of the things holding me back was that at some point this fic made me develop like. Imposter Syndrome? #Probably not exactly. But. It just started being a thing of 'well it's been so long and I don't like what I've written' #'But I don't wanna disappoint anyone because people like. Actually wait for this and actually like it' #And that is. Bonkers. It's strange to me but it's so. so. fulfilling as a creator #So I know that this chapter probably isn't like totally amazing water my crops sorta stuff #but thank you for tuning in and I'll talk to you again. Ideally within the month #Thanks for listening 💖
