Shipping Cruz with Lightning feels very weird and gross to me.

1. There is a big enough age gap between them that she remembers watching his races when she was kid. She is at most in her early-twenties and Lightning had been racing for ten years by Cars 3 and is considered “old” by a bunch of twenty-something racers in 2017. While an age gap like that isn’t wrong per se, there is that power imbalance in terms of life experience that a romance wouldn’t work. While I image Sally is the older one between her and Lightning, they don’t seem that far apart in age where one of them is +10 years older.

2. Speaking of power imbalances, Lightning was also technically her employer. Technically it’s more of Sterling, but Lightning has some authority and influence over her job so long as he’s working for Rusteze. Yeah Cruz quits at the end, but they were still working together. In that way, him helping out Cruz getting a shot at racing feels like a sort of like a “casting couch” situation.

3. I never saw where people think Lightning or Cruz had or could have romantic feelings. I got always got the impression Lightning was acting more like a father to her. Luckily that seems to be the majority of Cars fans, but somehow tvtropes begs to differ.

So yeah, I’m not a fan of daddy issues in that regard. Yet somehow my mother thought that Lightning and Cruz were a couple and wondered if Sally would get jealous. Honestly, I rather Cruz just be Lightning’s sort of daughter figure and Sally his girlfriend.

Marriage is overrated and ten years on Sally and Lightning are a healthy, functional couple. Sally has little interaction with Cruz but she seems to like her fine. She was mad at Jackson talking to Cruz and making her uncomfortable (I would too, especially if Armie Hammer was talking to me) and was very complimentary of her Dinoco paint job at the end. Sally has no issue with Lightning spending time with a younger woman because she trusts him and their relationship. Healthy relationships.

However, that doesn’t stop me from shipping Cruz/Natalie Certain and Sally/Holley. I’m more of a yuri fan than yaoi, but it’s understandable why yaoi is more prominent in this fandom.

Sarge: You’re afraid of me, and of Bill Gates too.

Jackson: Happy goddamn birthday, you gorgeous bitch.

Okay Lindsey Collins is going way too hard for Mia because it sounds less like she’s fangirling and more like she’s getting off.

Tia ends up sounding like a normal type of fangirling.

My OT3:

Lightning/Sally/Cruz- Cool One/Clever One/Cute One

Jackson/Cruz/Natalie- Cool One/Cute One/Clever One

Eugene/Rapunzel/Cassandra- Cool One/Cute One/Clever One

Imagine your OT3 arguing about who is “the clever one”, who is “the cool one”, and who is “the cute one”.

Sorry For The Absence This Last Few Weeks. I Have Been Forgetting My Own Schedule To Post These On Fridays.

Sorry for the absence this last few weeks. I have been forgetting my own schedule to post these on Fridays. However, I’m going to try and be more consistent. Anyways, this character is Dawna Days, a people pleaser with divorced parents, seems to be on the shy side and has just recently gotten into a relationship with one of the boys in the group, AJ Maye. I call their ship name Maydays. She was kind of a hard character to design because she’s another brunette in the group of girls and the creator of this character isn’t someone that I could contact to ask. I like Dawna, it was fun to figure out how to make her style distinct enough from Tara so they don’t look like twins, but that she would look like her face claim #emilycarey I know plaid clothes would’ve been an impossible design choice in the 1970s because they would’ve need to paint that texture onto the character’s cell sheet. #dawnadays #dawna #days #peoplepleaser #people #pleaser #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #strangerthings #calvinhgatsby #stranger #things https://www.instagram.com/p/CfxXnmFF9WA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

~Send Me a Ship~

I’ll rate it using the below system and say why I gave it that rating ^^

1 = NOTP, Disgusting.

2 = Don’t see it, Don’t care about it, Don’t know it.

3 = I could see why others like it but not at all my taste.

4 = I could see why others like it, kinda cute I suppose.

5 = It’s alright, I ship it a little perhaps…

6 = Nice ship, I ship it but as a side ship to other ships.

7 = I like it, would read a fanfic with them if it was well written.

8 = I REALLY like this ship but it wouldn’t work out in canon.

9 = I REALLY like this ship and it should be/is canon!

10 = One True Pairing (OTP). I will fight to the death for this ship.
