Another video I made. This time about Finn doing something stupid that even Mater’s pissed off.
It’s kind interesting to note how Mater rarely gets angry so I chose the one where he’d be at the most angry. Lightning has a lot of angry expression and Holley, I love her reactions. Especially after Finn gives his reason for why he’s got them killed!
Name the fandom & I'll answer
The first character I first fell in love with The character I never expected to love as much as I do now The character everyone else loves that I don’t The character I love that everyone else hates The character I used to love but don’t any longer The character I would totally smooch The character I’d want to be like The character I’d slap A pairing that I love A pairing that I despise
Part self promotion of my blog, @crystalgemcars and part really-wanting-to-show-this-because-I-love-both-Cars-and-Steven-Universe.
I just really like this piece of music from the episode Rose’s Scabbard and I wanted the instrumental part where Pearl remembers when Rose’s offers her the choice of staying or going for her safety and luckily I found someone’s piano cover of that scene.
Honestly I thought this would work well for the Doc/Lightning and Cruz/Lightning relationship (platonic!).
I feel like this is what I hear when I think bittersweet.
Pretend Lightning used male pronouns with Doc.
I’m going to eventually make a Cars Music Video with the song Here Comes A Thought and one with a piano cover of the final music for Legend of Korra.
Another wonderful drawing by my girl @lunan95. I love it and I thank you for it girl!
I can see the Lightning half feeling taller (Fusion heights vary but still)! I’m thinking taller than Garnet, but shorter than Sardonyx and Sugilite.
I can see them using Lightning’s shield like a frisbee at enemy to cut through them or friends in their off time.
Behold! Green Banded Agate!
This is the fusion between Lightning (Carnelian) and Sky (Larimar)! Oh, I’m so proud of this piece, I have worked 3 hours and 30 minutes with this! All this while listening to Steven Universe soundtrack
(”Enticement” score, I had to confess…)
I don’t know if this is a male or female, to be honest…maybe just genderless. Anyways, Green-Banded is a cutie with a mix of both the ever so cheeky and cute Sky and the fierce and confident Lightning!
@pixarjem I hope you’re proud of me! :D
Just a random thing I did.
YOU DO NOT HURT THE BABY!
WHAT?! (Cars 3 spoilers)
@imcarstrash My God! Did you not realize what you just said? Or the implications of it!
“Oh yeah he hit her but at least he didn’t attempt to straight murder her.”
I don’t think you intended it that way but it looks like you’re condoning possible abuse.
Even then, Jackson got angry and desperate and decided to crash her into the wall.
l’ll admit I kind of ship Cruzon but I don’t condone what Jackson did. If I were to write a fanfic of these two being a couple than Jackson would be the one who’d need to admit he’s at fault, that he realized he went too far, maybe try to make it up to Cruz. Though not in the way of “I’ve changed!”, “It’ll be better this time”, or Cruz doing the whole “I can change him” schtick seen in almost EVERY YA novel nowadays.
Sorry it’s just your comment struck out at me as being ignorant of what you’re saying. I don’t want to attack you, but inform you. I apologize if it seemed like I was attacking you.
Mommy Sal and Padre McQueen with their baby.
Man I wished Cruz had called Sally Mrs. McQueen so I could know if they are MARRIED OR NOT! Or Hell Mater calling her Mrs. Sally when he passed by.
Hmm… I’m starting to get into Chick and Natalie, but I’m kind of leaning towards Cruz and Natalie now since Jackson hit Cruz and Natalie did a rather gay look upon admiring Cruz.
Mommy Sal and Padre McQueen do not approve of Jackson, not after hitting their girl.
Here are some good Cars 3 (het…ish) pairings
Everytime Cruz FAILS at her ONE JOB! She has ONE JOB and she screws it up!
She’s wonderful and I love her, but she really SUCKS as a trainer.
Lightning is not your babysitter Cruz, he can barely babysit Mater and had like four other dudes to helped with that!
Okay fine. I’ll give in. Probably won’t be responded do to me being so new on the Tumblr.
REBLOG IF YOU WANT A LOVE LETTER FROM A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IN YOUR ASK BOX NOW
I love it and consider it canon and over-hated.
I know John Lasseter had genuine intentions with it because he loves these characters. I’ve seen the commentary, interviews, behind the scenes thing,etc. He made this because he wanted to. Not because of toys, if it were than I think he’d also own them as well:
The point is that I love Cars 2, I waited five years to have seen my favorite characters again and meet new ones in whatever screen time they had.
There’s flaws, not going to lie, but I still appreciate the movie. When I know there’s flaws and acknowledge them it kind of makes me appreciate the movie more.
I never found Mater annoying. If anything he actually became an interesting character with his knowledge of car parts, how he’s very literal minded like someone with Autism or in the spectrum, and how he’s never really thought about how people see him and it actually does make sense. He’s never left Radiator Springs, let alone the flipping country so of course he doesn’t know exactly how these things. Especially since Lightning doesn’t explain to him exactly what to do and not to do. Not to mention, Sarge, Fillmore, Luigi, and Guido seem to be terrible babysitters if they can’t keep track of Mater for leaving!
Also Miles Axlerod totally started the Disney Villain Surprise thing that Disney’s been recently in the animated canon (King Candy, Prince Hans, Yokai/Professor Callaghan, Assistant Mayor Bellweather, and Te Ka). Except I think he does it best and is probably the most intelligent of all of them since he was pretty prepared if Plan A didn’t work he’d have a back up plan. He also doesn’t show up to his meetings, physically. He live-streams at the meeting and with both a disguised voice and body.
That’s Axlerod’s engine, but not his body color. This is Axlerod just after the crash in Italy:
That’s a darker, grassy green, than the more pale-ish, almost bluish green. The disguise itself must have been design for him to easily and quickly place it on while getting his clutch assembly fixed and then taking it off to go back into the public eye. That’s pretty damn prepared.
Axlerod’s also a pretty amazing liar since he fooled a lot of the characters, including a lawyer (Sally), the spies, and the in-universe media. However, it’s not an out-of-nowhere type thing like Hans as it was foreshadow in a much better way while still keeping it a surprise (in my opinion).
There’s also the fact that unlike the other surprise Disney Villains, he didn’t reveal himself to the heroes due to him thinking that he won, but because he was under the threat of death by Mater. Yeah if you think Mater was basically holding Axlerod hostage with the bomb on him and if he didn’t turn it off, they were both going to die! Keep in mind, Axlerod wanted Lightning dead because he chose the alleged alternative fuel Allinol and thus gave alternative fuel another chance to redeem itself. Since when Mater came with a clearly alive Lightning and accused Axlerod of being the mastermind, Axlerod’s plan at this point was busted. The most he can get out of at this point would be his life and what he made off of the World Grand Prix. But even getting out this with his life is a problem for him since Mater figured it out and isn’t going to let him get away unless the bomb is deactivated. Unlike the other surprise Disney villains Axlerod was at a crossroads of being screwed either way. If he didn’t deactivate the bomb, he would die, (and possibly the spies, Lightning, and Radiator Springs would be arrested):
If Axlerod did than he’d go to jail. Axlerod chose the one where he wouldn’t die.
Mater noticed the bolts that are attached to the bomb on him were also the ones ordered by the mystery engine. An engine that was specifically made for a British car model and one that uses oil. There’s also how Mater specifically says that he DOESN’T leak oil. Axle rod put the blame on Mater because he was literally right next to him when it happened and easiest car to blame, because honestly if Mater didn’t come at that moment Axlerod couldn’t have blame Lightning, as the oil leaker and thus would have somebody calling him out as either a liar or a hypocrite. If it were only Lightning and Axlerod up there and no Mater, who would you assume as someone who leaked oil? The racer or the former oil baron? That’s why it’s easier pin the blame on the silly, hick of a tow truck.
What I’m getting at is while some may see it as stupid cash-grab I do see it as something rather interesting and different, with thought and care put into it. John Lasseter WANTED Cars 2 to be different. He LOVED Mater and saw a lot of himself in the character. He WANTED to do this movie.
Can’t exactly defend him on Toy Story 4 though...
Reblog if you actually like Cars 2
I can’t be the only one out there!
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Cars (Movies) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Salley Carrera/Holley Shiftwell Characters: Sally Carrera, Holley Shiftwell Additional Tags: Car Sex, not humanized Summary:
A rainy night in the desert, and two cars who can't resist each other. Yes, this is lesbian car-on-car. No, I'm not sure anyone will enjoy this.
I didn’t make that fic.
Found this on Archive of Our Own one time. I usually avoid reading this type of thing, or at least read once and never again since I have a pretty good memory of things, but i don’t know I’m weirdly intrigued.
Honestly I don’t read smut... but I found intriguing was it got me thinking about my favorite Cars girls as a femslash pairing. It’s written in a way that honestly does feel in character for both. Holley being nervous and flustered about her attraction and Sally being the more bold and confident of the two. That feels in-character for them (along with Sally being the one with the experience and initiates it and being on top). There’s also the description of the body language the two have that Sally can tell Holley’s attracted to her and giving Holley the confirmation that she likes her too. Thus when they do the deed they are giving permission and consent with Sally leading the way.
I shouldn’t have to praise that part because that’s something that SHOULD be understand by people. Consent and both sides taking initiative. Not just one party saying “WE HAVE SEX WHEN I WANT IT! YOUR OPINION OR FEELING OF IT DON’T MATTER!” Oh and the feeling that they actually do like each other and see each other as equals.
Any relationship, whether romantic, platonic, or even sexual, should have all parties feel equal to each other in the emotional sense.
Well that’s my two cents, going to back to start planning my own femslash fanfic while also thinking about the canon ships.
Oh, and a possible Cars Hunger Games-esque Rebellion AU of Francesco/Sally.
I like shipping.
Yeah I was a fan of the Hunger Games at the time and I thought the same thing you said. The world goes to shit because the Lemons won.
I actually had that idea for a fanfiction. Lightning was sent accidentally to an alternate timeline/dimension where he died because Sarge didn’t switch the fuel. When Our Lightning goes to back to Radiator Springs to get help (he thinks he’s still in his world at this point) he finds the town seemingly abandoned. He’s ambushed by the townies and captured, taken in by them to be interrogated. As they question Lightning and interrogate him he tries to tell the townie that he is Lightning McQueen, for reals. They don’t believe him because their Lightning is dead and that they think he’s one of Axlerod’s agents in disguise to mess with them or go undercover. Mater (who in this timeline never had a bomb on him and is leader of the Rebellion) and Sally come in to cross-examine Lightning with the two looking coldly at him. Mater, starts asking questions that only he and Lightning would know while Sally’s just circling around the two. Lightning passes the questions but they don’t trust him, they won’t kill him because there might be a reason as to how or why Lightning knew the things he did so they keep him around under heavy supervision. Any attempts at escape and the boy is shot dead in his tracks.
Meanwhile in addition to the members of Radiator Springs (including Mia and Tia, Otis, and The King) the World Grand Prix racers and Finn, Holley, and Siddley (they’re one of the few British spies who aren’t working for Axlerod) are are also working for the Rebellion in their respective countries. Often traveling to the main HQ of Radiator Springs to provide updates on the latest activity and plans of action. For a few years, the Lightning in that timeline had been dead, most tourists stopped coming to Radiator Springs because of that. Lightning’s death changed Mater as he went from being happy-go-lucky goofball to serious to the point of unfeeling and wanting nothing more than to set things right with the world. Holley had felt saddened by how the Mater she’d fallen in love with wasn’t the same. She loved Mater the idiotic, but good-hearted spy, not Mater the miserable and emotionless agent. Staying mostly in the UK division of the Rebellion with Finn, she feels afraid to look at Mater in the eye, but still makes in-person visits to Radiator Springs to pass down the latest intel along with updates on plans and rendezvous. Francesco, in the Italian division has in a way felt like this was his fault, even though it wasn’t and joined in order to make amend. Over the past couple years, he has developed feelings of love for Sally but understands that she might not feel the same way as she had lost someone she loved for years. Francesco knows that if they ever get through this underground war with the Lemons, than he’ll tell Sally.
