This is me too. Though I’m twenty-one.
When I was 10 years old, I shipped Lightning and Sally before I even knew what shipping meant. Now I am 16 and I still ship them with no shame.

This is so beautiful and precious and sweet and sad!
Just remember there are good people in the world.
My OT3:
Lightning/Sally/Cruz- Cool One/Clever One/Cute One
Jackson/Cruz/Natalie- Cool One/Cute One/Clever One
Eugene/Rapunzel/Cassandra- Cool One/Cute One/Clever One
Imagine your OT3 arguing about who is “the clever one”, who is “the cool one”, and who is “the cute one”.
And not only that we now know there are at least two different kinds of afterlife. And that séances are possible.
Mater seemed to be weirdly chill about how he was about to die. He only didn’t go with the Speed Demon is because he didn’t want to leave Lightning alone… he didn’t care his sister wouldn’t see him just that he didn’t want Lightning to be sad and alone.
Honestly I think that was legitimately sweet this episode. Mater was worried about Lightning being sad about him dying and Lightning was worried for Mater’s safety.
They are friends who care about each other and it’s weirdly sweet here.
cars on the road episode 3 alternate title "mater fucking dies for about 3 seconds"
hello Pixarjem! for the HC... Sally x7
Depending on the situation...
While in casual public setting: A kiss on the cheek, nothing too showy but a sweet simple gesture that makes both of them a little warmer and relaxed. A nice surprise as well!
On a date: At Wheel Well overlooking the landscape, a slow single lip kiss with the focus on connection, before a bit of tongue to tease him for a possible later.
At home: Goes for small peppered kisses around his fender before reaching his lips, pulling back at first to give him the hint in her eyes and swerving tires that she wants to get more before going further. She continues her kiss with a small bite on his lip, being something of a Domme...
After a race (alone): Adrenaline fueled smooch action!
When he’s hurt: Gentle, avoid the places where he’s pain, quiet as to not feel like pity.
That G-rated steamy enough for you?
Rules: Send me two (2) tropes from this list + a ship and I’ll describe how I’d combine them in the same story.

I love it and consider it canon and over-hated.
I know John Lasseter had genuine intentions with it because he loves these characters. I’ve seen the commentary, interviews, behind the scenes thing,etc. He made this because he wanted to. Not because of toys, if it were than I think he’d also own them as well:
The point is that I love Cars 2, I waited five years to have seen my favorite characters again and meet new ones in whatever screen time they had.
There’s flaws, not going to lie, but I still appreciate the movie. When I know there’s flaws and acknowledge them it kind of makes me appreciate the movie more.
I never found Mater annoying. If anything he actually became an interesting character with his knowledge of car parts, how he’s very literal minded like someone with Autism or in the spectrum, and how he’s never really thought about how people see him and it actually does make sense. He’s never left Radiator Springs, let alone the flipping country so of course he doesn’t know exactly how these things. Especially since Lightning doesn’t explain to him exactly what to do and not to do. Not to mention, Sarge, Fillmore, Luigi, and Guido seem to be terrible babysitters if they can’t keep track of Mater for leaving!
Also Miles Axlerod totally started the Disney Villain Surprise thing that Disney’s been recently in the animated canon (King Candy, Prince Hans, Yokai/Professor Callaghan, Assistant Mayor Bellweather, and Te Ka). Except I think he does it best and is probably the most intelligent of all of them since he was pretty prepared if Plan A didn’t work he’d have a back up plan. He also doesn’t show up to his meetings, physically. He live-streams at the meeting and with both a disguised voice and body.
That’s Axlerod’s engine, but not his body color. This is Axlerod just after the crash in Italy:
That’s a darker, grassy green, than the more pale-ish, almost bluish green. The disguise itself must have been design for him to easily and quickly place it on while getting his clutch assembly fixed and then taking it off to go back into the public eye. That’s pretty damn prepared.
Axlerod’s also a pretty amazing liar since he fooled a lot of the characters, including a lawyer (Sally), the spies, and the in-universe media. However, it’s not an out-of-nowhere type thing like Hans as it was foreshadow in a much better way while still keeping it a surprise (in my opinion).
There’s also the fact that unlike the other surprise Disney Villains, he didn’t reveal himself to the heroes due to him thinking that he won, but because he was under the threat of death by Mater. Yeah if you think Mater was basically holding Axlerod hostage with the bomb on him and if he didn’t turn it off, they were both going to die! Keep in mind, Axlerod wanted Lightning dead because he chose the alleged alternative fuel Allinol and thus gave alternative fuel another chance to redeem itself. Since when Mater came with a clearly alive Lightning and accused Axlerod of being the mastermind, Axlerod’s plan at this point was busted. The most he can get out of at this point would be his life and what he made off of the World Grand Prix. But even getting out this with his life is a problem for him since Mater figured it out and isn’t going to let him get away unless the bomb is deactivated. Unlike the other surprise Disney villains Axlerod was at a crossroads of being screwed either way. If he didn’t deactivate the bomb, he would die, (and possibly the spies, Lightning, and Radiator Springs would be arrested):
If Axlerod did than he’d go to jail. Axlerod chose the one where he wouldn’t die.
Mater noticed the bolts that are attached to the bomb on him were also the ones ordered by the mystery engine. An engine that was specifically made for a British car model and one that uses oil. There’s also how Mater specifically says that he DOESN’T leak oil. Axle rod put the blame on Mater because he was literally right next to him when it happened and easiest car to blame, because honestly if Mater didn’t come at that moment Axlerod couldn’t have blame Lightning, as the oil leaker and thus would have somebody calling him out as either a liar or a hypocrite. If it were only Lightning and Axlerod up there and no Mater, who would you assume as someone who leaked oil? The racer or the former oil baron? That’s why it’s easier pin the blame on the silly, hick of a tow truck.
What I’m getting at is while some may see it as stupid cash-grab I do see it as something rather interesting and different, with thought and care put into it. John Lasseter WANTED Cars 2 to be different. He LOVED Mater and saw a lot of himself in the character. He WANTED to do this movie.
Can’t exactly defend him on Toy Story 4 though...
Reblog if you actually like Cars 2
I can’t be the only one out there!
Took this a few weeks ago when my family and I went to see Hidden Figures. Saw this poster while walking to the theater, wanted to take a selfies of it. Left my sister in the theater saying “I had to go to the bathroom” just so I could be with it. Than dad spotted me with and he took the picture...
I wanted myself with my baby...
I’ll rate it using the below system and say why I gave it that rating ^^
1 = NOTP, Disgusting.
2 = Don’t see it, Don’t care about it, Don’t know it.
3 = I could see why others like it but not at all my taste.
4 = I could see why others like it, kinda cute I suppose.
5 = It’s alright, I ship it a little perhaps…
6 = Nice ship, I ship it but as a side ship to other ships.
7 = I like it, would read a fanfic with them if it was well written.
8 = I REALLY like this ship but it wouldn’t work out in canon.
9 = I REALLY like this ship and it should be/is canon!
10 = One True Pairing (OTP). I will fight to the death for this ship.
Lightning you are going to be a good friend whether you like it or not.
Spoilers! The start of the demolition derby has leaked! Here’s a clip
