I think we should all band together to make more cars zines

[ren-jackson-stromfan]

Lightnesco :3

[p0etcore]

I love them

[blades-tail-rotor]

it kind of bothers me when people see the scene where cruz asked mcqueen how he did it and he responds with "I never thought I couldn't" or something along those lines and people take that as a super tuff mcqueen is the goat moment. like GUYS he was an EGOTISTICAL JERK and that's why he thought he couldn't fail! he thought the competition had nothing on him because he's FULL OF HIMSELF!!!! I get it he's cool and fast and we like cool and fast racecars but please acknowledge his flaws too

[p0etcore]

So real actually because I've always seen this specific scene as what it means to be privileged / grow up in a field where you were meant to shine in from the very start. Like his build is MEANT to race so even in his upbringing he's always been sorta advantaged in speed (because without it who is he, right?) And just the overall field and so while likea. Yeah I mean people can SAY its tuff but it doesnt change the fact that this specific line here proves to rhe audience that hes ALWAYS been capable and privileged and he's never had to think about not being good enough in a field that HE was built for. That is all

[p0etcore]

I haven't properly written anything since October, but I'm working on my cara whumptober prompt list again. Trying to at least finish up to day 10 since that's what I have planned for, so expect that!:p

I also want to work on my bth bingo + other ideas, sooo...most whumptober things wont be as long. Oops. Anyway i hope you guys are excited because I am!

Anyway day 5 preview:

[lovinglmq]

not falling for the Cars on the Road propaganda. Lightning wouldn’t suck at acting. he’d be good.

however, I do think he’d have performance anxiety or something like that when he’s excited about what he’s involved in. or just- when there’s pressure. which is ironic, because there’s pressure in racing too, but that's also a way for him to decompress.

he’d suck when stressing too much, not because he’d be a sucky actor. he’s done acting just fine before (yk, that overly cocky, confident persona he put up in his rookie years). it’s just that when the stakes are emotional instead of competitive- boom. nerves.

[nebulae-d]

dusty and mcqueen should be friends. i feel like theyd be the silliest friends.

they are constantly poking at each other in the comments of Instagram posts and for a while there were rumors they didn't like each other until they posted photos together camping like ????? Guys calm down i love this guy.

(tying into my headcanom abt dusty being disabled) but after dusty's injuries and after he starts using a wheelchair more often than not mcqueen does a lot of work to figure out how to make things more accessible for him when he visits and specifically picking things they can do that he can manage in his chair and things he can do without.

dusty is such a piston cup hype man he looves the boys so much when he isnt heavily involved in cheering on his friends in the air racing circuts he wont shut UP about what mcqueen and his friends are up to. he cares them so much.

dusty has a running series where he shares his hikes when hes back at the national park and mcqueen in response has a running counter on when he thinks hes going to run into some major peril. no one except those two think its funny.

they would be able to bond very well over shared injuries and experiences of crashing and competition playing dirty (i will always stand by the fact dusty needs to sue everyone possible LMAO)

I love them dearly

[shooting-starzz]

Everyone is always saying “oh gosh how did McQueen react when Doc died”

Bruh let me tell u something. We saw it. We’ve seen his reaction. It’s called cars 2. A specific moment actually-

In Tokyo, after the first race, Lightning is feelin competitive with Francesco and is upset he didn’t win. Because of Mater. So Lightning yells at Mater. He says, “I don’t need your help! I don’t want your help!”

But what he doesn’t say is, “I need Doc’s help. I want Doc back, not you.”

Lightning is still broken up about it at this point. It’s still fresh. It isn’t healed. And it shows.

Lightning was “out of character” in cars 2? Hmm, I wonder why…

[p0etcore]

Im fucking crying oh m yvod

[p0etcore]

I like the concept of character's being able to see ghosts and their loved ones that died just so happen to "haunt" them and the character is the only person able to see them. I think it's fun.

So I'm imagining this with Lightning McQueen who is able to see ghosts. And after Doc dies he's still able to see him and vice versa. So it's almost as if he never died, except.....no one else can see or hear Doc.

So just imagine Lightning going about his day in Doc's house (would it be his own now?) and Doc is watching him inches away, simply floating in the air and giving commentary. Lightning sasses back at Doc and they go into a full blown witty banter argument when suddenly someone else enters. Maybe Mater? Or Sally? Either way, Lightning doesn't notice and is still bantering with Doc. Mater/Sally asks him who he's talking to and both heads whip over. Doc is having a field day watching as Lightning stammers and tries to explain himself.

On race days I imagine Doc would still coach him, headphones on and everything. Lightning wonders how he's able to hear Doc from so far away because he's not sure if the headset even works, but he doesn't question it. So just imagine the 95 crew's surprise when Lightning races like normal as if Doc were coaching him (which he is, but they don't know.) The two somehow have their own channel frequency. Lightning sometimes forgets and talks normally to the others and they're like ???

Anyway, in my little head I imagine Doc to die sometime after Cars 2 but before Cars 3 because yknow. Silly little angst. But his canonical death after Cars 1 works as well.

Anyway I love father son!!!!! Yay

[gaymcmissile]

Maybe im overanalysing but...

So we all know that one SUPER bittersweet moment from Cars 2 where we learn Doc died and the trophy Lightning won is in honor of him

Beautiful cup btw

Lightning looks over at the posters with a sad little face

(i want to hug this car so bad)

But that moment Mater tells Lightning that Doc would have been proud of him, Lightning puts on a pursed smile.

You can kinda see his lower lip but hes sucking in his lips. You know that thing people do when they move their lips inwards but still smile. Thats what Lightning's doing here

I love the the Cars movies focusing on how much Lightning has changed as a person throughout the movies and the growth he's going through. I would honestly love to know how Lightning handled Doc's death. At the end of Cars, Lightning cared so much about Doc he checked in the ditch, calling out his name in worry at the moment Doc had driven in the ditch (just to yeet out of it a second later)

Lightning obviously respected Doc so much, i must have been hard for him to let go :(

[p0etcore]

OHHH MY GODDDD :(

[cannedtins-deactivated20201027]

ok but flo is like a Mom to lightning, she’ll be so sad when he crashes like …

[twerkstallion]

She’s gonna have the race on at the diner and see the wreck and drop whatever she was serving a customer and maybe yell and Ramone will have to race over to console her

“Oh, poor Lightning!” “Man…. don’t worry baby… Lightning is tough. He’s built to survive this kinda stuff. He’ll be alright honey, don’t worry….” (but ramone is internally screaming)

[supershawoltt]

Who gave you permission to rip my heart out and tear it to shreds

[p0etcore]

Oh im sobbing oh my gosh
