I am begging, somebody PLEEASSE write a fic abt Jackson with the zoomies. I'd kill to see how ray, mcqueen or cruz would react or literally anyone. Jackson is litterally a cat in my heart
artists I think each of the cars characters would listen to:
lightning mcqueen - either backstreet boys or one direction, either way he’s a boy band type of guy
sally carrera - YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THIS WOMAN DOESN’T LISTEN TO FIONA APPLE, LAUFEY AND LANA DEL REY like I can envision her belting out the most obscure unreleased lana del rey song ever that no one has ever heard of at the dead of night lmao
mater - uhhhhh rascal flatts ig just anything country
jackson storm - I know he listens to Megan thee stallion, the weeknd and micheal jackson you can NOT convince me otherwise and he despises nicki minaj with a passion (he streams hiss every day in his trailer and it drives his crew chief crazy)
cruz ramirez - I’m not gonna do her dirty here and assume she’s a sw*ftie but also she just feels more like an olivia rodrigo type of gal. She just has that vibe you know
natalie certain - she feels like a fiona apple girlie too tbh
flo - she listens to beyoncé like it’s her life support she fucking LOVES HER also mariah carey (you know she blasts THAT song every november to december in radiator springs LMAO)
ramone - listens to tyler the creator I JUST KNOW IT!!
sarge - listens to the national anthem to help him sleep
Credits for this idea to @kachow-i-love-being-me
i legit couldnt stop at lightning i had to do storm cruz and francesco LOL
I feel like both storm and mcqueen would have web shooters while cruz and francesco would be organic shooters LOL I had so much fun coming up with like the designs and stuff i took heavy inspo from miles when designing storm LOL
i also couldnt come up for a spider name for francesco so i just went with violent bitch LMAO
lightning mcqueen - king penguin since theyre the second biggest penguin species. i could also see mcqueen being a northern rockhopper or some other crested penguin :>
sally carrera - yellow-eyed penguins. no particular reason, i just think yellow-eyed penguins look super cool
tow mater - royal penguin. also no particular reason. maybe the "royal" hints towards mater's rich upbringing? lol
strip weathers - emperor penguin since theyre the biggest penguin species by far and are also the deepest diving birds
chick hicks - adelie penguin since theyre known for being feisty/aggresive. adelies also collect (and steal) pebbles for their nests to attract mates, and i think thats very chick hicks-coded
doc hudson - chinstrap penguin since. doc looks exactly like a chinstrap 😭😭. apparently chinstraps are also known to be aggressive and that they fight with adelies and the idea of doc & chick having beef is really funny
jackson storm - gentoo penguin since gentoos are the fastest swimming penguins. also gentoo sounds like gen(eration) two and that fits storm very well
cruz ramirez - galapagos penguin since i wanted her to be a banded penguin so i chose one of the south american species :]
bonus ramble: chick having to go against an emperor and a king and mcqueen having to go against a gentoo is completely unfair JFDHDSJHF whats wrong with the piston cup circuit in this universe
