the characters may be fictional but my pain is REAL

[bisexualmcqueen]

alright this one's a little different

its a thumbnail comic of a scene from a silly fic i have YET to write (but i have half of it plotted out/partially written). was a fun choreo exercise. additional context at bottom.

had to omit some plot details for simplicity's sake, but the basic premise is as follows:

"sort of crack taken seriously in that a freak weather event occurs in radiator springs. the green and white cars are just random tourists who lightning is helping evacuate. he's borrowed one of mater's towing cables… but alas he is not a tow truck. also i throw rocks at him! {he doesn't break his powertrain [axel] just a link arm + a few other suspension bits. it's to nerf him for later to let another character do a good deed in his place} {also he has the tow cable because he was closest to rescue the tourists but everyone got separated}"

the tourists also were NOT supposed to be out exploring carburetor country, there were weather warnings posted, but they lied and went anyways and lightning had to find and rescue them </3 (and then they get detoured and This happens</3)

People who truly dislike Edwina Sharma are wild. Heaven forbid an 18 year old be charmed after being almost relentlessly pursued by an older man. Three married women, including her mother, are for the match. THE QUEEN is for the match. The only person saying he isn't right for her is her sister and like I'm sorry but my sister could swear that a man wasn't that into me and I would not listen if he BOUGHT ME A HORSE!???!!?!!

If I had a nickel for every time Owen Wilson was involved in a Gay Slow-burn Relationship I’d have 4 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened four times

Do you think Wyll told his father all about Tav, how wonderful they are, and their entire love story before he proposed to them? Do you think Duke Ulder Ravengard watched his son's eyes light up with love and just softened, remembering bitterly just how much time and how much of his son's life he had missed in sending him away? Do you think he gave Wyll and Tav his blessing? Do you think he congratulated Wyll when he gleefully reported back that Tav said yes? Do you think father and son were considering the very tentative plans for a wedding when this was all over?

Do you?

Because I do. I think a great deal about it.

small but favorite Rana (slash Neve slash Neve/Rana) moment #2 - after Knight-Commander Lennos lets Bataris walk because Bataris' magister father bought him off, they both glare after him for a moment before Rana turns to Neve and promises, "I'll find a way to fix this."

Which I find a) hot and b) an impactful way to phrase it. It's not just "I'll fix this" but "I'll find a way to fix this". It makes the promise not about the fixing, but about the finding of a way - it's a vow of effort and commitment, despite expected challenges, not just guaranteeing a result...

Something that Neve would feel conflicted about, because at this point in the story, she doesn't trust that people will follow through on the good they promise to do [for her]. She knows that good intentions don't always mean a person will show up [for her!] when it counts.

So I find it Interesting TM that this promise and the lingering shot of Rana walking away are delivered through this over-the-shoulder angle, hiding Neve's reaction while also inviting the player to see Rana from her point of view and also wonder: will Rana follow through after all, or will she, like Lennos, turn her back on not only Minrathous, but Neve herself?

I think Brynne Rao had a phase where she cut her hair to a bob and got curtain bangs

fellas... if you're a poor young artist basically raising your sister's kid and your surfboard is stored at your childhood best friend's family's mansion and you go there to surf when you think there's no one home but then you run into your best friend's older brother who's back from la for a visit and you have fun banter that includes star wars references and you go surfing together and your sort-of-girlfriend invites you to a party on the beach so you invite him along too and when she tries to talk to you you're more interested in playing frisbee with him and the next night you have a conversation with him over some walkie-talkies that can cover the huge distance between the mansion and your sister's house and over the walkie-talkie you can hear that he seems to be watching a tape you once made with your best friend where you're fooling around on skateboards and just having fun and later you show up at the mansion and he's wearing a silly outfit so you laugh at him and he says he can't go surfing because he's working but then he goes with you anyway and he shows you a special private spot on the beach that he used to keep to himself so he could go there and think and then you surf together and on the way back you ask him when his next book is coming out and he seems a little flustered and he's flattered when you tell him that you read his first book and that you thought it was good and then you go for a burger and you ignore a call from your sort-of-girlfriend who you're in limbo with and then you end up on the porch of the mansion together just drinking beer and hanging out and you go inside to get another beer and he finds your artbook and you tell him no one looks at that and you try to take it back but he wants to see it anyway and you let him and he not only says it's awesome but he completely gets what you were trying to express with your drawing about your sister's kid and so you open up a little about emotional stuff and then you take the artbook from him but he jokingly fights to keep it so you end up wrestling and laughing until he calls a truce because you hit his adam's apple and then you're drunk and breathing hard and side by side on this outdoor bed in this beautiful house with the sound of the sea in the background and he looks at you and he pushes up on an elbow and he kisses you soft and sweet and short but not shy and you let him and you maybe kiss him back and then he backs off and you're just lying there side by side and somehow you must have fallen asleep because you wake up in daylight still in the same place with him curled up in his hoodie asleep next to you... is that gay? fellas?

see, a lot of me really wishes we WERE a closed, safe, trusted community in which getting updates of lua was normal behaviour like the early days of instagram when you'd share photos of whatever life updates you had with your mum, best friend, and 5 cousins. part of me wants to believe we can become that. I do like seeing her, I enjoy the snippets of their domestic life and Parent Michael and how he just steps into that naturally. it's authentic and he's absolutely in his element! the guitar concert and the baby video game controller and everything. this is Peak Parent Michael and I feel so blessed to see it

then also I'm fairly certain that if luke and sierra had a kid we would hear nothing of it til luke blurts it out by accident in some concert or interview. we might get an artsy blurry family photo or a professional Liz Hemmings Photography family portrait exactly once to confirm and then you know that child wouldn't even know the internet exists til they're 18 or so

Here's just a little animatic inspired by one of the newest chapters of This Wicked Day of Destiny to celebrate the 5th anniversary (It's been 5 years oh ̶K̶r̶e̶l̶ the passage of time is coming for us all) of the canon continuation of 3Below, Wizards: The Ones Who Stayed by the incredible akozuheiwa

It's been an honor to follow this masterpiece for 5 years and I can't wait to see where it goes and cry about it

*cartwheels and nearly trips into your inbox* I bring unto thee mine cars 2 thoughts >:] (this is going to be slightly chaotic for which I apologise)

finn mcmissile is so . So gay. the way he admires mater’s absolute tomfoolery (no offence mater) and is like “he is SUCH a good spy..” meanwhile holley is like ???. its as if mater is doing the most stupid thing while his bf finn is just all heart eyes and dreamy while holley is questioning her senior. the scene where mater is disguised as that blue red tow truck (ivan I think was his name) and he’s not doing great (/lh) in pretending to be ivan and holley is like MATER GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF while the situation does a 180 turn and works in mater’s favour and finn is like “he’s so good..” that man is Gay.

also in regards to finn I can see him and uhh I forgot his name but that french three wheeler they meet in paris being exes (on good terms, obviously). like they tried it out but in the end they thought they’d be better as friends. thoughts?

ALSO also I feel like although the way the writers solved mater and mcqueen’s conflict wasn’t bad per say but I do think mcqueen wasn’t entirely wrong in his anger at mcqueen. not saying he should have said what he had said in tokyo, but I sort of agree with him that mater needed to get a hold of himself. he could’ve been more understanding in his confrontation and all, but thats just my thoughts. I think either you or kei had talked abt something similar once? abt how mater was dumbed down in the movie. not sure but I thought of that point when I was thinking abt it.

I think I have some more thoughts but thats the ones I can remember now, so thought I’d share since ya said ya wanted to hear em :]

AUGH I LOVE TO HEAD YOUR THOUGHTS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Yes, Finn is INCREDIBLY gay. Me and @kei-maki like to joke that Mater was his rebound crush after Leland died. But after he thought Mater was dating Holly, rebound crushed on Lightning xD! Plot twist mater and Lightning were dating each other LMAOAOAOAOA

But omg yes, the “he’s so good scene.” He’s so smitten it’s not even funny. OK BUT HOW THE FUCK DID FINN NOT KNOW THAT MATER WASNT A SPY. LIKE THERES THE “I know” SCENE BUT IN THAT MOMENT, YOU SOUNDED COMPLETELY CONVINCED HE WAS A SPY??

Oh Finn, you’re a dumbass, I love you.

Also, I’ve never considered the idea of him and the French cars being exes. It makes sense, honestly, with how they talk with each other. It seems very much like a love-hate relationship. While they’re dating, it was probably for the thrills more than actual love.

And yes, the conflict between Mater and Lightning was not the best. I feel like the writers had such a complicated conspiracy about the oil fuel, that they had to rewrite a lot. And due to that, they had to rewrite the conflict. ORIGINALLY- Mater was supposed to stay with Lightning to keep an eye on him while he helped Finn.

Which— that conflict would’ve worked because we have a boy who cried wolf situation and then both parties would be justified to feel in the right. Not only is he hiding things for Lightning but is sounding ridiculous, meanwhile Mater has to keep quiet about helping with a spy for LIGHTNINGS safety.

But that’s just my two cents on it.

Though, I do think how lightning reacted to Mater leaving was pretty realistic. Mater is Lightning’s first true friend. And he’s feel like he just lost him completely, so what does he to do? He probably blames himself for pushing Mater away (even if justified). So, him chasing him down the race track makes total sense.

But that’s just my belief. I would like to hear your opinion on that.

Anywho, thank you for sharing your thoughts!! It was very nice to read ^^

guys…mater’s kinda fine

[lovesickeros]

it is, frankly, criminal that no one has really gone into detail about what would happen in the imposter au if only the archons knew who you were..like, makes sense!! because they are archons, those closest to celestia. but the implications of an archon, who are usually very protective of their nations, having to fight them to protect the Creator because no one else sees you for who you are?? thats the good shit

like the difference of how archons who pretend to be normal people (zhongli + venti) would handle it vs archons who still directly rule over their nations (nahida, ei, tsaritsa) is *chefs kiss*
