I’m not crying... I just got something in my.... Oh man this freaking sad and beautiful and sad and heartbreaking and sad.
I’ll write a fic of this someday... but first.
*Starts to cry*
how do you think Lightning will react about if Sally dies suddenly ? I'm feeling a little down right now
Oh…. oh. Wow. Okay.
Well I hope you feel better soon, anon. I don’t know if this will help or make it worse, but I hope somehow it helps you out.
Everyone thought he took Doc’s death hard. That was nothing compared to this. When they heard the news, he started screaming and swearing, completely turning into someone else the townsfolk had never seen.
He just leaves town without saying a word. He can’t take seeing it without her. She was the one who really made him appreciate it to begin with.
No one sees him for three or four days, no one knows where he went. Turns out, he drove up into the mountains and just sat in isolation while he mourned her. He couldn’t bear being around anyone.
He makes it back for the funeral, but doesn’t speak. Everyone is trying to provide what comfort they can, but it’s like talking to a brick wall. She was his life. Nothing, not even his racing career, was as significant as her.
Afterwards, he spends a lot of time at her grave. They buried her near Doc. He tries to talk to her to ease his conscience, but he can’t say anything without breaking back into into sobs.
He tries to find someone to blame for his pain, but can’t. He can’t control his thoughts and goes back and forth between being vehemently angry and unbearably anguished.
He’s torn between leaving Radiator Springs for good and staying. It all reminds him of her, and it’s painful. But at the same time he knows she’d want him to take care of it now that both she and Doc were gone.
He never goes to visit Wheel Well again. He can’t even look at it. He still supports and manages the operation, but he’ll never go back. He makes a point not to look at it if he has to drive by it. That was sacred ground for them as a couple. It’ll never be the same.
He treats the Cozy Cone motel similarly, although he still stays there. He hires on an old friend to keep it running so he doesn’t have to do it himself. Going into the office was hard to take. All the decor was still as she’d left it.
A couple weeks later, Mater finally gets him to talk. He doesn’t respond much, but it’s an improvement. Mater doesn’t push him, but he does say something that strikes a chord with Lightning. “Forgetting her won’t make it [the pain] go away.”
Lightning was given similar advice when Doc died, and he knew that he needed to honor her in a similar manner. He decided that he wasn’t going to leave town. That town was her everything, and if that’s all he had left of her besides memories, he was going to do whatever he could to support it.
Later on, he tries to focus more on racing, but it’s not quite the same. He still does well, but he finds himself pushing himself to the limits a lot more and thinking a lot less. It’s not a good strategy, and his eager spirit is just gone. He misses seeing her there in the pits waiting for him.
It takes several months for things to return to any degree of normality. The town is still much quieter, as Sally’s bubbly, optimistic personality isn’t there to supplement it anymore, but everyone at least functions again.
Lightning eventually remembers how to enjoy himself and have fun again. He spends more time with the other members of the town and even with his racing buddies. He’s gotten to a point where he can think about her and not feel overwhelmed by her absence. There’s still a void in his soul, but it’s one he intends to keep, in memory of her.
Wait who are we asking?
OH MY GOSH, YES!!!
Okay fine. I’ll give in. Probably won’t be responded do to me being so new on the Tumblr.
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!
This is Jackie Tournesol, the final girl I made art for. She’s a punk rocker girl who’s face claim is based on G Hannelius. Jackie’s creator based their character’s clothing style on Joan Jett and Nina Hagen from the 70s. The girl can be cold with a bit of a temper, but underneath she cares about her friends and family. The hair was difficult to figure out in looking stylistically like a 70s cartoon and is kind of a mix of both hair styles their creator mentioned. Jackie’s creator is also probably the most descriptive with their character’s clothing as detailed in the she appeared in. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg529IZs38K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
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.
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

I should like this but I do!
Absolutely WONDERFUL drawing/fan art/Gem-ification by @lunan95 for our group/ possible story of Cars!Gems.
Wonderful dress for Sky/Larimar.
Larimar is the Gem and her name before joining where she gives herself a new name.
Will you join the Rebellion? @crystalgemcars
Ideas are welcome.
Okay, now I have done a couple of more gemsonas!
First one out is Sky, who belongs to me. :3 Sky is a Larimar, a rare gem and she belonged originally to Blue Diamond’s court. A misunderstanding occurs during the rebellion and Sky got separated from the Homeworld Gems, causing her gem to crack and she were left alone at Earth where she wanders around lost, helpless and without access to her gem abilities.
Second one is no one else than Chick Hicks! He’s is a Moss Agate, a Quartz soldier like Lightning/Carnelian, only he’s one of the ultimate Quartz soldiers which means his creation is perfected and he belongs to Yellow Diamond. I have ways pictured Chick being a lot like Jasper from the actual show and my friend/co-writer @pixarjem agreed withy opinion.
Just freaking adorable!
So today at work there was this little girl who was REALLY sad that sally from cars wasn’t coming out to say hello to people and she just kind of flopped everywhere so I found a sally button by the grace of god and I wrote her a note form Sally’s point of view explaining that she was sorry she’d missed her and that she’d see her at the races.
And that little girl took that pin and looked absolutely stunned and held it to her chest, then she picked up the letter and she hugged it to her chest. Her mom came over and hugged me and her dad shook my hand and I started tearing up and that little kid didn’t say a word. She was just holding a piece of paper that I wrote on and a pin that I pulled off the wall like they were gold incarnate and I’d handed her a million dollars.
firstly, that’s a little girl that likes carsland. Not a little boy who likes lightning, a girl who was just as thrilled to see lightning mcqueen as all the other boys. Secondly, that’s why I do what I do. not for Annual passholders, not for people who want to make statements, for the future generations and the fact that a girl was that excited about a car just shows that we’re doing something right. Take that with you.
No I didn’t write that fic...
Rip Fanfiction? :(
What do you mean?
Lover of all things Pixar (especially the Cars movies), Disney, and Animation
