hear me out on a fic idea I’ll never write. (this fic takes place after a cars 2 rewrite au I’ve thought of) after the events of cars 2 mater and lightning are going through hell not only have the events of The WGP been shitty in general, there’s tension straining lightning and mater’s relationship, people are accusing mater of being a sncıde bomber because he’d been with the lemons at one point, and because mater and lightning are literally besties people are trying to smear lightnings reputation with that (dare I say Harv’s being petty and trying to worm his way back into his life). Not only that but Mater’s having to deal with C.H.R.O.M.E. on his ass about working with the lemons (not that he was condoning what they were doing more so he wanted to try and be Steven universe changing they mind ✌️ he also didn’t wanna get slimed) so there’s that.
