Cruz - Blog Posts
Just a random thing I did.
YOU DO NOT HURT THE BABY!
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
Welp. Goodbye Cruzon and Critter, I found a new ship for Cruz and I finally get my Cars lesbian pairing.
Make way for Cruzalie!
One is all about the numbers and how they’re never wrong while the other beat the odds.
Since y'all forgot:
Natalie’s GAY moment is when she repeats something the commentators say, like “quite the win” but Nat puts extra emphasis into it and leans in and stares at Cruz unblinkingly from afar and does something with her lip and it was massively gay
YES! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPENS!
BOTH OF THEM HATE JACKSON FOR TALKING TO THEIR BABY CRUZ!
I FEEL VERY SMUG ABOUT ANYONE WHO SAID SALLY WAS GOING TO BE JEALOUS OF CRUZ!
IT’S THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PEOPLE WE SHOULDN’T WORRY OR FEEL COMPETITIVE ABOUT OTHER FEMALES TALKING TO GUYS WHETHER THEY’RE A BOYFRIEND OR EVEN JUST A FRIEND!
DID I MENTION CRUZ IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! AND SHE LOOKS INTIMIDATED BY JACKSON! NOT MY BABY!
LIGHTNING, SALLY, GO KICK JACKSON’S ASS AND PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER!
…Well there goes my Cruzon ship.
…Fritter/Cruz go!
Why do I keep shipping Cruz with characters who absolute dicks to her at best and at worst ones who try to murder her?
when some fuckboy tries to flirt with ur daughter
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!
And it's called Freeway of Love... is Fritter trying to serenade Cruz?
Crackship GO! If Cruzon doesn't work than.... Dammit I can't think of the ship name for Cruz and Fritter!
Lemonade and the Magic School Bus from Hell
Can anyone think of anything better? I want my lesbian cars!
Guys…. lea delaria did a song for Cars 3……. miss fritter jazz music…….. guys…
Agreed. Oh I love these girls they're both wonderful and adorable!
Lightning oh... Lightning you are both the greatest lady magnet and heartbreak. Don't yell at Cruz! She is pure joy!
My girls are sad!!! Save them!!!
(They’re both looking at Lightning in each shot- Lightning stop doing this to them, they don’t deserve it!!!)
(Also… Cruz is beefy and I love her???)
And so the partying commenced...
Holley: Hey, you know what would be great right now?
Mater: Eating liquorice?
Finn: Punching a swingset!
Cruz: Eating liquorice!
Lightning: Riding a hoverboard!
Cruz: Eating liquorice while on a hoverboard!
Mater: No! Punch the hoverboard! Eat the swingset!
*Some time later*
Lightning: Okay, so we’re all clear on this. The hoverboard of made of liquorice. We can punch it if we want to, but only if it’s near a swingset. Is that good, are we good?
Finn: I like it.
Cruz: Sounds good.
Mater: Can the swingset hover?
Lightning: GRAAAAH!
WHY ARE YOU TWO AT A DEMOLITION DERBY?!?!
Sally: Hello?
Cruz: Hey what’s up?
Sally: I just called to check on you and Lightning. Is he there?
Cruz: Uh... he can’t come here right now.
Sally: Okay... well tell me when he can.
Cruz: Oh I can’t do that.
Sally: What do you mean you can’t?
Cruz: I mean can’t because he’s racing.
(Loud crashing noises are heard, Cruz cringes as she hopes Sally didn’t hear at all)
Sally: GO CHECK ON HIM!
Cruz: Okay you don’t have to shout at me!
(Cruz zooms to get a better view, horrified and praying that Lightning’s okay)
Cruz: He’s still racing.
(Metal is heard being smashed)
Sally: Where are you two right now?!
Cruz: We're at Derby!
Sally: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE "AT DERBY"?!
Cruz: I MEAN I'M AT DERBY!
SALLY: WHAT DERBY ARE YOU TWO IN?!
Cruz: WE'RE AT A DEMOLITION DERBY!
Sally: WHY ARE YOU TWO AT A DEMOLITION DERBY?!
Cruz: FUCK YOU!!
YES I HAVE TO SHIP RIGHT NOW! I AM THE CAPTAIN OF THIS SHIP AND I’M GOING TO SAIL HER INTO WHATEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE!
I was the FIRST Cruzon shipper!
Ill take this ship to my grave okay.
Papa Lightning!
When he’s not being a Jealous Boyfriend of open wheels, he’s worried for his Not!Daughter (but closest thing to daughter) getting close to his new rival.
Lightning: Not my daught- I mean trainer you son of a BITCH!

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.

My Diamonds...
My Blue, Yellow, and Pink Diamonds (yes I know she’s purple but dammit this is MY Diamond Authority)
White Diamond? Eh, pick on and I’m sure he’ll fit the bill.
Damn... a younger Paul Newman was pretty fine. Oh Armie Hammer, he’s so pretty... Owen babe, I’ve had a crush on you for 11 years ever since I was ten... you’re still so gorgeous.
DAMMIT 2017! YOU MADE ME LIKE GUYS AGAIN!
That’s what I think will happen too.
Even in Toy Story 3 the conflict of “your child will grow up and won’t need you” was postponed with Andy giving the toys to Bonnie. She’s going to get older still and give up the toys and it’s just another delay of the inevitable and heartache will restart once again.
Lightning retiring after having one last comeback by beating Jackson would be beautiful, heartbreaking, but hopeful ending that would resolve his internal conflict and having him leave on his own terms. He’d see it as a choice he made, that Doc didn’t have. Doc said there was a whole lot left in him after his crash that he never had the chance to show it, the crash left him bitter and angry at the racing world and he wanted nothing more than to hide and never hear of it again. Lightning doesn’t want to be that, he doesn’t want to be kicked out of the sport he loves, he doesn’t want to become resentful of it when he stops. He wants the choice of retiring, not the fear. Leaving something that you love doing, knowing that you accomplished a lot and made it your choice is a satisfying end.
Him retiring and maybe even becoming Cruz’s crew chief would be his character arc coming full circle, becoming the Doc to a new generation, to Cruz.
I really hope Lightning does retire at the end of Cars 3
Hear me out: yes, they can do a movie where he’s falling behind new tech, refuses to give up, trains with Cruz, gets revamped, goes into another race and shows those whippersnappers who’s boss. And it could be fun and entertaining and have good characters, and have a message that just because you’re old doesn’t mean you’re out! However, the main emotional conflict for Lightning is unresolved. He still has to let go and retire at some point. There will always be new tech. So really, the main conflict is only postponed.
OR
They could do an ending where he does train, he does get new tech. He could potentially beat Jackson Storm. But then he sees what a promising racer Cruz is (isn’t she supposed to be an aspiring racer?). And he starts to reminisce about his career, and he does realize that he’s had a really great one that will leave a legacy no matter what. And that there’s things he can potentially do with his life (and his wife/girlfriend/whatever) after he’s done racing; his life isn’t over just because he retires. So yeah, maybe he does go in and beats Jackson Storm, just to show that he can and to leave on a high note a la Michael Phelps. But then he retires on his own terms, opening a space for Cruz to enter the circuit, because now he realizes that his legacy can last through the new athletes (again, Michael Phelps–he’s getting beaten by guys who idolized him as kids now and he’s cool as long as they aren’t asses about it). It would close the series, like Toy Story 3, with a message of letting go, letting a younger generation take over, and entering a new chapter of your life. In my opinion, a much stronger and more complex film.
Oh hai Candice.
I remember hating you ya little tool.
You are voiced by Tara Strong so that makes you 20% cooler.
Man Lightning is a magnet for them all and my harem anime me was correct! Sally, Mater, Doc, Francesco, Holley, Cruz, Jackson, Mia and Tia, Chick, Candice! You hit the jackpot yo!
She is not my Pink Diamond though.
All aboard the friendship bus!
Don’t you two do anything.
Also OMG Mack! John Ratzenberger! YOU EXIST AGAIN!
Road trip squad animated!
Agreed. Completely. Though some of the images of Cruz and Lightning seem very... ship.
Lightning and Sally are still my Cars OTP!
Plus I don’t see Sally as the jealous type. Lightning has shown to be the jealous type with the whole getting pissy and annoyed when Sally only said Francesco looks good. Sally on her end has absolute trust in Lightning with letting him go to the World Grand Prix without any worry of him being far away and thus doing anything selfish.
Cruz I can see as having a crush on Lightning, especially since her character description says “coming to Lightning’s aid with stars in her eyes when he shows up at the Rust-eze Racing Center.”
Stars in one’s eyes is an idiom meaning “Be dazzled or enraptured, especially with romance; also, be naively idealistic or optimistic.”
Cruz is a lifelong fan so she’ll be excited and happy to work for him but not flirt with or openly say she has a crush on him. Maybe blush when Lightning compliments her or even get a bit giggly but just that. Besides, I can mostly see Lightning seeing her as daughter figure or even a little sister figure, but either way, just a friend.
I sincerely hope with all of my being that Pixar doesn’t do that thing where Lightning spends all of his time with Cruz because she’s training him and it makes Sally feel insecure because she’s more in his league than she is - or some other excuse - and they imply that something could happen between Lightning and Cruz.
Don’t do that. Do not do that. Don’t even hint at it, get that away from me and chuck it to the bottom of the ocean. Sally is a vibrant and confident lady who trusts her bf, Lightning is not a weasel and loves Sally with all of his heart, and Cruz is a decent and respectable young lady who wouldn’t even think of doing something like that. I’m watching you, Pixar.
