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.
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
MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!

I’ll do it!
GIVEAWAY: In Celebration of CARS 3 and Everything Pixar’s 6th Anniversary, Win CARS on Blu-Ray by Re-Posting THIS POST and Following us on Tumblr!
Why are my idea so weird?
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.
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.
All aboard the friendship bus!
Don’t you two do anything.
Also OMG Mack! John Ratzenberger! YOU EXIST AGAIN!
Road trip squad animated!
Do you guys remember when i joked about making a cars fan parody game visual novel?
Well it's not a joke anymore
So I created a discord group if you wanted to contribute to the making of this visual novel, and I'm requesting help because I have no idea what I'm doing 🥀
There's also a normal chat and area for talking about films if you want to join and just chill ⬇️
Lmao

I love to see those homophobic pixar cars tik-tokers
Because Lightning is implied to have his own pride merch in the third movie
What's you guys favourite cars fanfic?
Personally mine is the one where Finn snipes Harv infront of everyone but idk.
So on Discord we made some creative ship names for cars, if you need any ideas for cars ship names, here you go:
Have some Cars 1 Memes
Sorry I disappeared of the face of the earth again, I was busy fighting for my life at social events (no I will not elaborate)
If anyone is wondering where it was written it was here
(Hopeless goes by a new name (Lonecl0ud), so remember to block this one)
They deleted the chapter of CP
This behaviour is inexcusable, especially when writing in a CHILDRENS FILM's fandom
I'm aware a03 was partly created for "writing anything without being banned" but this is absolutely not welcome in the Pixar Cars community here on tumblr.
Kinktober is for things people find "pleasure" in reading and kinks, having grooming as an enjoyed reading material is disgusting.
One more thing they did under the cut ⬇️
If you saw messages of our little argument between me and Hopeless around 2 years ago, you'd probably know what I'm talking about.
I created a collection for LMQ/cars whump.
Hopeless had a problem with the fact that I didn't allow r@pe but allowed torture.
I was pretty young/minor at the time
They called it "cherry picking" and didn't respond appropriately when I tried to get them to understand that I didn't see it why it was problem.
This is when I looked at their ao3 profile and found the CP chapter on their kinktober. I blocked them after this.
(I've deleted this collection a long time ago.)
My mother gifted me a bootleg mcqueen and I'm crying over how funny it is
Because 1 - The number is 98 instead of 95
2- It's Kust-eze instead of Rust-eze
3- Transformer
Congrats guys
We made it to 2,000 + cars fics on a03
It's such a shitty job😭
How do you use tape with tires???
It's a headache to even use with hands.
Best wingmen of all time🤠
*Artist is @smazzmatazz / @smazz-fanart-stuff* [click image to increase quality]
All this cost was my dignity
Gonna go ask my normal art friend to draw me something cars related
Wish me luck
I'm gonna leave this here since I never got around to finishing it and gave up 💥
WELL NOW YOU CAN :D
Try your hand at writing an apocalyptic alternate universe fanfic on cars! And don't worry, It doesn't have to be Shakespeare level, just do your absolute best!
Put it in the following collection:
Yes, I know that's extremely out of pocket for a cars fic, but that's the fun of it!
AND if you don't feel like writing, you could draw something. Either, fanart of someone else's fic or just an original piece. Use the hashtag when you post it here on tumblr: #Cars Apocalypse
(The quality of the art gets better if you click it💀)
Or you do both writing and fanart, entirely up to you🫵
Everytime I give kudos on a03 to a non cars fic, I pray they don't click on my name and see what fandom I write for💀
Give me a second, I'm cooking
I'm crying
I love this frame from this deleted scene in cars 2. They’re so silly
@cars2-renaissance @gaystappen @champmorado
can be inferred as platonic but this is just fueling my towqueen fire
same energy as this one scene from ninjago
Does this have a happy ending
Because this is how I'm going to feel if it doesn't:
something for this cars au
Lightning’s mother, Marylin McQueen, was a rookie spy who was a year and a half into the job and looked up to Finn McMissile as her role model. She even got to work with him a couple of missions in her career and Finn was impressed with her skill. He saw her as his student, and he even got to meet Monty (Lightning) when he was still a baby, who unfortunately started crying when Finn tried going near him. It was then extremely tragic for Finn when he found out that she was murdered, with her infant son kidnapped by the lemons. He went to her private government funded funeral and swore that he’d someday find her lost child.
Eighteen years later, traveling to Radiator Springs with his clever assistant Holly and trusty tow truck pal Mater, the trio are tagged along by a curious, brave, compassionate, and somewhat naïve stock car they mistakenly captured from the lemon’s oil factories with striking blue eyes that look too familiar to the veteran spy. It must be a coincidence, right?
It’s only when Lightning has been taken back by the lemons and he and his colleagues are on a path straight to death, is when he realizes who he was. He’d found his mentee’s lost son, and he’s lost him again.

Favourite hobby is to watch youtubers react to Cars 1 and watch them ALWAYS go:
When Lightning can't think of anyone when Harv asks for his friend's names
