I’m alive. I know, shocking. I have apparently figured out that I have a special interest in Cars 2. So here I go with ships and head canons.
My ships consist of:
Raoul Çaroule and Rip Clutchgoneski.
These two are 100% traumatized from the race in Porto Corsa, Italy. They decided to shoo people away and basically they had their first date after the race in London. Bet Nigel showed them some of the best places he knew of just to get one of them to fess up to the other. Raoul definitely tries to make sure Rip knows how great he is and definitely performs for him. I bet they sing together too.
Nigel Gearsley and Carla Veloso:
They definitely had a double date with Raoul and Rip. These two took a long drive together after the Radiator Springs Grand Prix. They also 100% ate together and went on a date. Nigel tries to show off to Carla but Brazil always has better spots anyways. That and Nigel definitely tries to learning Brazilian recipes to make her happy.
Lewis Hamilton and Jeff Gorvette:
Most of y'all likely ship these two. They have a nice little friendship in the movie and needed more scenes together. They are definitely the kinds of people to either be direct or ask their pitch chiefs to deliver messages. Eventually they go on a date but that is like right before they have to part ways and they call each other as much as they can.
Francesco Bernoulli and Shu Todoroki:
I need more with these two. They are so adorable and would have that kind of enemies to lovers feel. They have so much potential. Shu has conflicting values, but he sees Francesco grow as a person and starts getting along with him. Francesco was likely the person to start the relationship by asking Shu about his culture and like a bunch of things. Or vice versa that Shu asks him. Also, head canon that Shu has occasional anxiety and Francesco definitely helps him with it.
Miguel Camino and Max Schnell:
As someone who knows some Spanish and is getting fluent in German, I know exactly what these two would say to each other and they are definitely sappy as fuck with each other. They drive to see each other a couple days a week and sometimes stay at each other’s homes and just dote on each other.
And now for things that they do after the WGP, the racers go to Radiator Springs every year just as a way to cool off and relax as it’s all for fun. They all 100% encourage each other and one time they messed with Francesco by bringing him to Olive Garden and he flipped out over it. Shu definitely couldn’t help it but mess with him a little, all in good fun. Though, depending on the route you take, if Francesco gets upset they stop and make sure he knows that they don’t mean to make him upset or something. But if you go down the funny route, yeah he takes it as a joke and it’s just great.
Personal life/stress/swinging into the new year with depression is causing me to be unable to write or be inspired in general.
I appreciate everyone who participated in our secret Santa fic exchange! The first year was truly a success!
Just very tiring on the backend. So all that combined I’m deleting the Tumblr app on my phone and will only check in once in a while. Feel free to find me on discord or chat with me there if I have added you.
*tfw you finally get to hear the full original 1981 london jellicle ball numbers after years of listening to the ones on youtube that have that noticeable jump because someone had a cassette tape of the original london recording and edited it themselves for everyone*
