Took This A Few Weeks Ago When My Family And I Went To See Hidden Figures. Saw This Poster While Walking

Lightning McQueen: Moronic Feminist!

(At the Demolition Derby with Luigi, Guido, and Mack watch from the side in concern. They see Cruz stuck in the mud and Lightning nearby.)

Luigi: Oh shit! Lightning go get-a her out of the mud!

Lightning: I’m not doin’ it. That would be sexist

Luigi, Guido, and Mack: What!?

Lightning: This right here, this situation, this is the damsel in distress trope. And I am not about to contribute to it.

Mack: While I can agree that trope is horrible in this particular situation we need you to do this. She’s in danger.

Lightning: No. It'd be against my moral compass.

Luigi: Your fucking moral compass is a roulette wheel!

Cruz: (increasingly scared for her life) Lightning I know what you mean but this isn’t the time for that.

Lightning: I’m sorry Cruz I can’t do it.

Luigi: Look, she’s already in the situation. You just need to pull her out of it.

Mack: What if we pretend she’s just a crippled car.

Lightning: That’d be denying her sexual identity. Cruz, you do identify as female, right?

Cruz:(annoyed but getting worried over not being able to get out of the mud) Yeah and I understand. Sometimes in our culture things are ridiculous, but face it, situation is situation.

Lightning: I’m sorry. I can’t do it.

Guido: OOOOHHHHHH GOOODD!

Lightning: Think about it from my perspective! What do you see over there?

Luigi: YOUR TRAINER! AND SHE’S IN TROUBLE!

Lightning: Well I see a highly capable girl. Sure life’s beaten her down a little but that’s not gonna stop her. Nothing’s gonna stop her. She can become president of the world one day!

Luigi: NOT IF SHE’S SAWED IN HALF BY MISS FRITTER!

(20 minutes later Luigi, Guido, and Mack leave the two at the derby and back to the trailer)

Luigi: Okay, so we all agree. We’ll hide her body on the beach, if Lightning’s still alive we train somewhere else and never come back here again. We’ll-a tell Sterling we lost Cruz somehow. Good?

Guido: (Nods)

Mack: I like it!

Miles if I was a boy.

Parents decided not to name me that because my due date was close to thanksgiving and thus be made fun of because of “Myles Standish”.

I am in fact a girl.

I was the first Cruzon (Cruz/Jackson) shipper ever since I found out their names on May 31, 2016.

Jackson: (annoyed and somewhat angry as he gives her flowers) Here!

Cruz: (confused) Wha- huh?

Jackson: Just... take them.

Cruz: Umm... thank you but, why?

Jackson: Look you did a... decent job with McQueen. He’s.. okay. There, now take them.

Cruz: (smirks proudly) Well look who’s not as high and mighty as he believes? Thank you for the compliment, I know we’ll both be grateful for that.

(Cruz begins walking away, before stopping once Jackson says something once again)

Jackson:...He’s not that great you know.

Cruz: Maybe not to you but he’s someone I always look forward to whenever I saw a race.

Jackson: (disappointed, before going back to smug jerk mode) I’m just saying he needs to retire pretty soon if he wants to live longer life.

Cruz: He’s still got a lot in him, I’m just there to help.

(Once more Cruz begins to walk away with the bouquet)

Jackson: You ever thought about being a racer?

(Stopping in her tracks Cruz turns to look at him, questioningly)

Cruz: What?

Jackson: (says slowly like a condescending twat) Ramirez, do you want to be a racer?

Cruz: Okay first off dude, I’m not an idiot I rather you not talk to me like one rich boy, thank you. Second, I’m working my way to that, I’m getting there and I going to become one, my way, not through daddy’s pocket.

Jackson (flustered somewhat before going back to his chilled arrogance): ...Cool

Cruz: ...Que?

Jackson: Yeah...

Cruz: Yeah...

Jackson: (says quietly) ...Allons-y.

(Both begin to walk away with Cruz holding her bouquet, mixed on receiving it and Jackson as whole before feeling something hidden in the flowers. A autograph photo of David Tennant! Her favorite Doctor!)

Jackson telling Cruz that Lightning’s not that great is kind of my little reference to how I know people will telling me that the Cars movies aren’t that great but me seeing as something I have always loved despite what others may think. They have a right to critique but to me it’s valuable in many ways.

Just wanted to say this. In the Laugh Button podcast (#105) Cristela Alonzo mention how her favorite Doctor is the Tenth Doctor.

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.

Why are my idea so weird?

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”.

So… I missed a few Fridays, but I’m still going to try for a weekly schedule. So sorry. This character is Gabe McDonnell. As described by his creator “he’s laid back, open minded and a helpful individual, but sometimes he just wants to be alone for various reasons.” His mother is dating a sleezeball boyfriend. He and his best friend AJ Maye are the first to find Sev. The face claim for this character is based on #tannerbuchanan while the character’s body type is based on the Archie cartoon of the 70s. He’s kind of the Mike Wheeler in terms of being the leader, but also shares that role with Tara in bonding with Sev. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #gabemcdonnell #gabe #mcdonnell #greaser #1970s #1976 #fanfic #stranger #things https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnmG2TDl_Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let me explain: I meant that I ship McQueen and Miles, as some people ship Elsa and Hans. I made this comparison, because Hans and Miles are similar characters, and I know it sounds absurd seen what he wanted to do to Lightning.

Oh... okay sorry. I just didn’t get the context of why you said that. I get it now. Thank you ever so much.

Also I like Villain/Hero pairings too, but more in the creepiness factor you know. I think Miles wouldn’t want to kill Lightning if not for the fact that he got in the way of his plan and so he felt like he needed it to be done in order to secure it all.

Hey. This is my first time posting anything onto Instagram. This past Spring semester I made character designs for this Stranger Things fanfic called Stranger Things: The Seven Chronicles. Technically it was for school, but I was having a sort of artist block when trying to think of something to work on for my class. I also wanted to make artwork for this fanfic because… well I created to characters personally for it. The fanfic is an SYOC fanfic (Submit/Select Your Own Character). The story takes place in 1976 in Rockford, Illinois where a group of teens find a strange boy who happens have waterbending powers. This character here is one I made for the fanfic. Her name is Natroya “Naty” Rhodes. She’s a black cheerleader who strives for perfection in her athletic ability and wants to maintain her position as a popular. Naty can come across as the mean girl, but mainly to those that are in the high school popularity hierarchy. She’s friends with classmates that are on the lower end of the popularity chain because they’re less of a threat to her. When talking to the author they sometimes say that Naty is like the Lucas of the teens. Granted the major difference between Naty and Lucas in my eyes is that Lucas’ hostility towards the new member of the group comes from the stress of one his best friends being missing. Naty’s hostility comes from not knowing who this teenage is and thus can’t recognize what he’s all about. She can figure out her classmates and whether they’re a threat to her on the high school social hierarchy, but not this teen in a hospital gown. Naty doesn’t have a missing friend, just the anomaly that this teenage boy is something she can’t figure out. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #natroya #natyrhodes #naty #natroyarhodes #black #bisexual #erisbaker #cheerleader #1970s #calvinhgatsby #syoc #friendship #coolgirl #popular #popularity #faceclaim #face #claim #rockfordillinois #rockford https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCZPZvFu5o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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.
