I was talking to my friend @kei-maki yesterday and we made some crazy realizations. ( @tired-lamb I’m @ ing you too, you need to know about this)
So we were talking about the timeline and how it would probably correlate with real time. Which made me realize, holy shit— Lightning and Mater have the longest slow burn known to man. It would be
16 Years Later. Until they finally confess to each other
Because the both of us agree they get together after Cars On The Road. Which, then made me realize something even worse. Due to Lightning’s guilt complex(tm), he probably felt incredibly guilty about the events of Cars 2. And he would hold that to himself for the next
11 YEARS.
Mater’s best friend, the love of his life, was suffering for 11 years and he had no fucking clue about it.
Holy shit man, I’m going crazy
