Could I make a request? I would like random headcanons about lightning being that young racing driver in the modern human au, You could add doc too! Thanks!
absolutely! headcanons are my favorite thing to make sjcjwnfjjwr
I'm pulling Chick and King into this too thEY NEED MORE LOVE
reminder: I'm not apart of the cars fandom. check out @x0stormie0x for more cars content :)
in the beginning, Lightning was a nervous wreck
like I mean full on wouldn't talk to anyone but his team
he didn't even know how to get a team together 😭
his first race he got fourth place and he was content with that
he genuinely thought he'd do worse
then he just slowly got better
consistently first every race after like 2 years
when Lightning first met King, Chick and the other older races, he genuinely saw them as family
Chick was literally like an older brother that'd always tease the shit outta you
King was the dad before Doc came along
during off season they'd all hangout
and I'm not saying drives, I'm saying like they'd meet up at one of their houses and just fuck around like teenagers
they were all menaces
When Lightning found himself in Radiator Springs and meeting the whole town, he really felt a connection with them
stronger than with King and Chick
King became the cool uncle and Chick is now the annoying cousin
Doc is the dad, Mater is his brother, Flo is the cool aunt and so on
When RS became Lightning's new pit crew, King and Chick weren't exactly too keen on these people
bc who tf are they and why are they so friendly with McQueen?????
ofc everyone did meet and things weren't so tense
Doc even showed appreciation towards King, as he was more old school when racing and Doc loves seeing that in the younger generations
the RS crew was rowdy compared to the other crew in the pit, but that just made them that much easier to spot
after Lightning won his first race with RS on his side, it was like you never saw him away from those people
during the off season, Doc would give him new tips and tricks to learn
he keeps flying into the cacti while training
Mater is always on standby
"Getting towed is so embarrassing" "Just be glad it's not on the actual track"
Doc, McQueen and Luigi always talk about what tires would be best for the next season, especially with potential rain
Flo makes sure he has only the best quality oil all season
Ramone gives Lightning's car a new paint job each season
there's always something new
one time Ramone suggested a Lightning bolt with a few extra at the bottom and Lightning thought he couldn't do it
he did
everyone loved that specific paint job
originally Lightning thought everyone from RS would want him gone once Mac found him, but he was so happy to know they wanted him to stay at much as he wanted to
in the beginning, Lightning pushed for a lot of his earnings to be spent on RS once it got out that, that was where he was staying
mans wanted EVERYONE'S business/shop to look the best
even as he gets older, most of the fundings of RS is 80% Lightning
okay that's all I got for now :] hope ya liked and I'm open for more requests. this is sm fun hehe
