Unhinged Cars or Planes Headcanon Wednesday: Sheriff
Been wanting to gush about my beloved donut car for a while, now. Enjoy!
-Sheriff's full name is Sheriff Royce Campbell (Factory Designation M8C1949255CU09281934). He is the oldest of two children sired to Sergeant Henry Campbell and Maryanne Elizabeth Campbell nee Sheetwelder. He was manufactured on September 28, 1934 at the Ford Factory in Detroit, Michigan, and was modeled in the likeness of an Old World, 1949 Mercury Eight two-door coupe.
-Yes, his legal first name IS Sheriff. It's sort of a running theme in his family to name male children after various military/police ranks. He's the third person to carry the name "Sheriff" (the others were his maternal grandfather and his paternal great-great grandfather). His brother's name is Major.
-Most everyone in his family is a cop or works for the police/FBI/ATF in some capacity.
-Sheriff grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and he enrolled in the Charlotte Police Academy when he turned nine, just like his father.
-He received the Honor Graduate Award in 1945 for his academic acumen, high level of proficiency with a firearm, and his technical driving skills. He was hired by the Charlotte City Police Department almost immediately thereafter, with his father serving as his FTO.
-He was recruited into a revenuer task force in 1947 under the command of Captain Lorence Camber where he would achieve the rank of Corporal.
-For reasons unknown he was demoted back to officer status and transferred to Carburetor County, Arizona in 1949 where he served as a deputy under Sheriff Randy Coldweld. Coldweld's way of policing was unlike anything Sheriff encountered in Charlotte. He fully believed that empathy and compassion were FAR more effective at controlling crime than fear, and he worked bumper to bumper with Stanley and Lizzie to make sure that the residents of Radiator Springs had access to affordable food, housing and education.
-Coldweld was forced to retire for medical reasons in 1950. A special election was held that year, and Sheriff was elected to replace him.
-He only keeps in touch with his brother, having been disowned by his late parents shortly before moving to Radiator Springs.
-Sheriff knew Doc's true identity--having figured it out pretty early on in their friendship. He never let on because he respected Doc's privacy, though he came clean after the tie-breaker race.
-Despite his conservative upbringing, Sheriff is bisexual. He and Doc have been in a relationship since 1958
-While working for the CCPD, he had a pair of .378 H&H Magnum rifles mounted to his undercarriage. He swapped them out for parking boots when he became the sheriff of Radiator Springs
-He loves Lightning like a son
-His has a double-digit kill count
-He has his own place just a bit northwest of town. It's small, but the lot, itself, is 103 acres, most all of which borders route 66 where it heads up towards Tailfin Pass. There's a large, outdoor kitchen in the backyard, and Sheriff hosts a cookout every year on the fourth of July, complete with custom fireworks (he makes them; Sarge fires them; Red makes sure the fallout doesn't start any wildfires).
-He visits Doc's memorial every Sunday (his only day off), and brings a bouquet of flowers on their (dating) anniversary (May 12th)
-He hasn't dated anyone since Doc passed...and he doesn't plan to
everyones always getting isekai'd into a fantasy rpg setting. no more. i woke up in anotehr world as a footsoldier of the galactic empire. reborn as the princess of the candy kingdom. i got hit by a sports car and went to radiator springs (cars) (the movie) (mater is there)
yk what i hate though. is when i find a meme and im like THIS IS SO [cool intimidating mutual i never talk to] I SHOULD SEND IT TO THEM but then i remember ive never talked to them ever and so i cant just like give them a meme out of the blue and so the meme just withers and rots in my camera roll 😔
This reminds me of the fact that "Ancient Egypt" goes back so many thousands of years, that the most recent "Ancient Egyptians" were already studying (even more) Ancient Egypt.
For context, the last Pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, lived in the 1st century BCE. Prince Khaemweset, known as "the first egyptologist", was as ancient to her as the pyramids and tombs he was studying were ancient to him.
This has totally be mentioned in another fork of this post, but it reminds me quite a bit of Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, a museum in Ur, c. 530 BC, which housed mesopotamian artifacts dating back in some cases to the 20th century BC

Geophysics is one of the fundamental tools in modern geology, helping geoscientists understand the Earth beneath the surface without direct excavation. By applying principles of physics such as seismic waves, gravity, magnetism, electricity, and radioactivity, geophysics provides critical insight into subsurface structures and rock properties.
Key branches of geophysics include:
Seismic Methods – used in hydrocarbon exploration, earthquake studies, and crustal investigations.
Magnetic Surveys – useful for mapping igneous rocks and mineral exploration.
Gravity Surveys – help identify density variations within the Earth.
Electrical & Electromagnetic Methods – applied in groundwater, environmental, and mineral studies.
Radiometric Methods – important in identifying radioactive minerals and geological mapping.
In geology, geophysics bridges the gap between surface observations and the hidden subsurface environment, making it essential in mineral exploration, petroleum geology, hydrogeology, environmental studies, and tectonic research.
Understanding geophysics means understanding the unseen architecture of our planet. 🌍⛏️
me when i get one (1) note on tumblr dot com from my beloved mutuals: they lovme❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😭😭❤️❤️😁😁😁😁😁✨️✨️☝️☝️☝️☝️😁😁👅👅👅👅👅👅👅💜💜💜💗❤️🩹❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🫂🫂🫂🫂i love them 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜 f ried n

When Blade finally realizes, it’s not a massive dawning of enlightenment or some showy production. They’re just playing pool at the Lodge, Blade catches that smile of Dusty’s that he’s seen a thousand times, and it feels almost inevitable when he knows he wants to see that smile a million more.
you're part of the problem. I'm so tired of all the excuses like "oh they look cuter!" "why do you care?" THEY CAN'T BREATHE. People intentionally breeding these vehicles to give them health problems because they "like how it looks" makes me so mad
Actually, flat faced buses can breathe fine! This is a case of convergent evolution, but the two types of buses are not genetically related.
Pointed nose buses are decended from trucks, and have their engines located in the front. This requires the larger nose in order to provide the space for the engine as well as adequate ventilation.
Meanwhile, flat nosed buses are actually descended from city buses (which in turn descend from trolleys), and were domesticated due to their greater maneuverability and capacity.
Contrary to popular belief, flat nosed busses typically do not experience breathing problems. Their engines are located in the back of the bus, with a large breathing vent located in the rear.
These buses also have a different structure to accommodate this change, typically including doubled back tires, a different weight distribution, and a change in location of the emergency egress door from the back to the left side.
I just wanna be the very unfunny autistic person saying that the flat face change was made to create much less flattened children on our roads. The driver can’t see their tiny selves as easily over that big ass bus nose. Not that anyone was asking for the real reason we bred our buses like we did our pugs.
