[autism-swagger]

One of my favorite aspects of Bottoms is how throughout the entire movie Josie is constantly like "I'm such a loser 😣 no girl is ever going to want to hook up with me. I'm going to be alone forever!" meanwhile every single interaction she has with Isabel is just

cars penguin au!!!!!

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

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!! Okay so honestly I have been very very inconsistent over the years with just disappearing for periods of time due to various things 😂 So it probably seemed pretty normal to most people.

But it felt different on my side, so I'm excited to be back in business. I took a month long hiatus! 31 days of not drawing digital art. Its not something I talk about on here? But I've been suffering from some serious long term Art Burnout for.... a really really long time. Long enough that I should've taken a break probably years ago. It finally got so bad that I could barely draw. I was scared to do it (cause it always looked "bad" in my eyes [i'll come back to that]) and doing it was exhausting and disheartening.

I talked it over with somebody and realized that the fear and anger and frustration I felt towards my own artwork was uh. Not Normal or Healthy. And I finally committed to taking a real break for once.

I still drew a little bit by hand? Traditional art has always felt like it has lower stakes for me (i don't often share it online, and sometimes I don't even share it with friends) so I did some of that when I felt like it. But Digital art was completely off the table.

I had put such an immense pressure on myself to make my digital art perfect, to make as much of it as quickly as possible to satisfy something. It wasn't fun anymore. I'm proud of what i've made over the years! But for a long time now the stuff I've been making was made while hating every second of making it. With some rare exceptions.

I hated my art! It was a combination of Perfectionism, taking in too many external expectations, and the burnout. If you hate doing something its kinda hard to love it even when you want too lol. It wasn't "Bad" in the sense that the quality was low and it was ugly! It was "Bad" in the sense that it was unhealthy for me to keep doing it at that point in time.

I'm glad to report though, that with my hiatus officially over as of Wednesday last week: I am once again. In Love. With doing art, and being an artist :)

I put off taking a break for years cause I was scared that taking a break would mean that I would never achieve all the things I wanted to do with art. I was scared it was a stupid and lazy thing to do that would mean I'd never achieve my dreams. And Also even though I kinda hated drawing, I also loved making art. Its a weird duality that I can't even really explain??? I hated it but I also loved it. I wanted it but I also wanted to run from it. It wasn't until I was more mature and had more clarity and insight (and unfortunately also until the problems got worse) that I was finally able to let go of those fears and just do it.

And I'm really really glad I did. It was everything I needed. And I hope to strike a better balance in the future with art. Taking more breaks when I need them, or just when other things have my attention like reading or Video games (Some star rail got played during this time xD)

From the outside things probably aren't going to be that different?? At this point I don't really have any sure plans to post anything I've been drawing since my Hiatus ended. I might or I might not xD I'm still a hobbyist artist taking things at her own pace, but I hope that it shows how much happier I am :)

Whumptober 2023 is being officially put to rest by this post btw! I was in major burnout when that event started, and I'm ready to just, move on from all the past expectations I'd shoved on my shoulders. If I feel like filling any of the prompts or going back to any of the ideas I'd come up for it I will! But I'm not going to worry about doing it unless the desire sets in. Thanks to everybody who's been so kind to me throughout my time on here as an artist! Ya'lls tags and screaming and kind words, the fanfic, the asks and the responses? Its been fantastic :) You guys have made me laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. I hope from here that things only get better and sweeter! And if I have bad days again, that's okay too.

Here's to 2024 and whatever it may bring ya'll :D 🎉🎉✨✨🧡💜

mack - autobot elite guard

that’s honestly the only ones i can think of rn 😭

[microwavedfishsticks]

I like how at the end of Cars on The Road during the wedding, Cruz says "I know pronounce you, married!" And not "husband and wife"

And Cruz is probably just using inclusive language but like...what if Mato or the person Mato is getting married to is just very gendered HEAR ME OUT PLEASE

Radiator Spring residents ranked on how trustworthy they are in the kitchen

(All these are intended to be humanized headcanons, but can be interpreted however you like. Also, quick content warning for food and a brief allusion to mold)

Flo - She literally owns a diner, (I did some googling and turns out, even though it's called Flo's V8 café, it's a diner. The disneyland website describes the IRL version in car's land as a 'Route 66-inspired diner' ) she makes the best food in town no questions asked. She's the one who makes everyone in Radiator Springs their birthday cakes and dinners each year, and has their favorite flavors and foods memorized by heart. If she catches wind that someone in town in feeling under the weather, that person will have a big pot of soup delivered to their doorstep before the end of the day. She is also very good about keeping her workspaces extremely clean due to the health and safety standards that come with running a diner. 10/10, she is the best by a very large margin.

Doc Hudson - During Doc's earlier years, back when he was still racing, he was a very mediocre cooking. He made stuff that was incredibly bland, boring, stupid easy, or a combination of all three. After his accident and moving to Radiator Spring, he was kind of forced to learn to make more interesting meals after eating nothing but mac and cheese, sandwiches, breakfast foods and other such things for a month straight and growing positively sick of it (because we all know his self isolating ass would NOT want to accept any invites to eat or, god forbid, risk accidentally socializing while at Flo's when he was fresh off a life changing crash). He, overtime, forced himself to learn how to actually cook and thus accidentally became one of the most talented cooks in Radiator Springs, second only to Flo.

Guido - He spent a lot of time in a tightknit, small Italian village, living with Mama Topolino, I feel it's very likely he picked up some tips, tricks and recipes during his time there. The vast majority of what he knows how to make is Italian food, but so long as he has a recipe, I think he could make anything.

Luigi - Basically the same as Guido. Only reason I put him below Guido is because he doesn't have the basically super human reflexes and motor control Guido has, thus making him more prone to spills and mess in the kitchen.

Red - The issue with writing any headcanons for Red is that he's more a gag then an actual character. I did a bunch of digging on his wiki page and all of it can be summed up to 'He likes flowers, is a firefigher and incredibly sensitive'...so I worked with that best I could. I think he'd be pretty decent at cooking since firefighters usually take turns cooking for their team, so anyone in that career usually has to learn to cook something actually edible. Red likely learnt how to cook during his very early days of firefighting before he moved to Radiator Springs. His dishes are definitely simpler, but that doesn't mean he can't make some very tasty, filling dishes. He takes enjoyment in serving his food to others and absolutely will burst into tears if someone insults his cooking.

Lizzie - Lizzie is the stereotypical baker grandma. A lot of the recipes she makes are pretty old, but that doesn't make them damn tasty. Her memory issues make baking a bit harder, but she still manages just fine. Baking helps keep her up and moving, even if it's only in her kitchen

Sally - She's never really had a knack for cooking and does her best from what people have taught her through the years. She can make a lot of really good pasta dishes, but other then that she doesn't really excel at anything.

Sheriff - Incredibly average. He's more the type to get food from Flo's or buy prepacked stuff then he is the type to actually make himself anything. When he does actually bother, all the stuff he makes is pretty good but absolutely nothing to write home about. He's more the type of person someone asks to pick up groceries for a meal then actually make the meal.

Fillmore - 100% more a baker then a cook. He first picked up baking to make weed brownies and ended up really enjoying the whole process. His recipes are very hit or miss though since he likes trying to make his desserts more healthy in some way. Sometimes this means they just taste a little off, and sometimes this means they taste like he just tossed sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl with some dried hay and baked it. He is also a hazard in a kitchen since he sometimes he gets munchies while high and will completely forget stuff in the oven, thus leading to multiple fire alarm scares.

Ramone - God bless his heart, but this man can barely cook. Flo has tried to teach him, but he just cannot seem to quite get it, often burning things, adding to much seasoning or accidentally forgetting ingredients. He loves spending time with Flo in the kitchen, so he gets relegated to vegetable peeling or pot stirring, which he very happily does because it means he gets to hang out with his amazing wife. The one thing he does excellent at is decorating. It took him a couple tries to get the technique down, but he is an amazing cake decorator, his years of painting cars meaning he has a scarily steady hand and very keen artistic eye. Flo always lets him decorate the cupcakes/cakes when she makes them for people's birthdays and they always turn out gorgeous.

Sarge - The issue with Sarge is that he refuses to toss anything out. He isn't good at cooking at all. That man does not give a shit how black his scrambled eggs are or how his chicken wings could probably be used as bricks, he will eat them. Whenever someone asks why he eats obviously terrible food, he just says something about how this is nothing compared to how terrible food was in the military. He's grown an iron stomach and hates wasting food even when it would probably be better for his health just to toss out the suspiciously fuzzy loaf of bread.

Lightning - He has mostly lived his adult life living off of fast food, microwave dinners, canned soup and whatever he can eat when people invite him over for dinner. He could probably be a very competent chef if he was taught how to, but he is a bit to embarrassed to admit it to someone else.

Mater - Do not let him near a kitchen he WILL burn it down. For the love of god he is clumsy as fuck and will somehow seriously injure himself or anyone if left to his own devices. He likes the idea of cooking for himself and his friends, but in practice it usually ends with either a fire, a hospital visit, or some horrid combination of both.

♿️ disability rant 👩🏻‍🦼

still mad about that time i went to a physiotherapist upon referral for my chronic pain and mentioned a previous physiotherapist had said I have mild scoliosis (though I've yet to have it properly examined/X-rayed) and this motherfucker said, with his full chest, TO MY FACE "mild scoliosis can't be outwardly seen."

he then proceeded to tell me to see a chiropractor (yknow, the "doctors" that have been known to literally murder and paralyse people and most reputable medical professionals will tell you to avoid at all costs,) that I'm fat (bc I experience too much chronic pain to exercise adequately,) and that if I got back into cognitive behavioural therapy (which has never worked for me,) I would eventually learn how to "think away" and "mind over matter" my pain receptors. he also refused to refer me for an x-ray and told my father that "spinal discs don't break" despite him having an x-ray done that showed he had several discs in LITERAL PIECES. FUCK YOU MEAN???

and now the hospital sent me a letter essentially repeating the points above and telling me they will not be investigating my chronic pain further, as it might "exacerbate my conditions." IN WHAT WORLD.

so anyway, I will now be seeking private treatment and health insurance, even if it isn't in my tax bracket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[pinkpinkmermayyy]

ok, but can we talk about mater in cars 2? Because the way they did him in that movie was not it

(@/the-cat-and-the-birdie, if you see this I’m just borrowing ur reaction pics for a quick second because they fit how I feel about this)

like why was he so fucking clingy towards lightning to the point where he followed him to his date which was supposed to only be with sally WHICH HE SPECIFICALLY SAID LIKE-

why is this grown man (or truck whatever) so fucking upset bc he can’t hang out with his bestie westie or whatever and breaking lightning’s boundaries by showing up like that

also the scenes where he’s just being extremely embarrassing in Tokyo LIKE WHY DOES LIGHTNING HAVE TO REMIND MATER TO BE ON HIS ‘BEST BEHAVIOR’????? Like this isn’t the six year old you’re babysitting for a day this is your best friend who’s TWICE YOUR FUCKING AGE HELLO????

also the whole scene where lightning gets mad at mater for messing up his race while he was basically blabbing things to him and that being blamed on lightning for being a ‘bad friend’ for the whole movie just makes no sense. Lightning was allowed to be upset with mater at that moment because he was being extremely embarrassing and literally pissing himself in front of him and everyone else. I’d even say he had a lot of restraint for not just kicking him out of the team right then and there because he would’ve been out if it had been me tbh

but like especially the part where he leaked oil in front of one of the most powerful people in the cars universe ever…

I’d just run away tbh I could not take that level of embarrassment

edit: forgot that it was AXELROD who pissed himself and not mater, so sorry about that!

and I know for a fact mater from the first movie would never do any of the stuff listed here. My guy mater is way too cool and swag to be the same character as mater from cars 2 I’m just saying it as it is.

anyways hope yall liked my rant 😍😍
