it might stretch or go beyond the limits of the motion shown in the Cars movies, but maybe you can:

open and close the doors

open or slam the boot compartment

turn on or off the inside lights

rotate the outside mirrors

turn on or off the outside lights

puff the airbag when very stressed (it's probably not visible behind the eyes, but maybe the noise can still be heard)

as mention above, use the windshield wipers

use the windshield wiper fluid

make the revving engine noises

have them drive around while talking. e.g. a happy car might do donuts, or a sad car might slump in neutral position and roll where the ground takes them, or slowly reverse. or affectionately use their bumpers to softly bump another car. etc.

Cars Fanfic Author Problems:

“Wait a minute can they even do this they’re freaking cars”

You start to write something about ears or hands and then you remember like “…oh wait-”

getting anxious about putting human food in a scene so you just say oil to make it less conflicting

C A R  H U G S …

“THEY’VE GESTURED WITH THEIR TIRES LIKE TEN TIMES ALREADY DO SOMETHING ELSE YOU STUPID VEHICLES LIKE I LOVE YOU BUT PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME”

unsure about how to make a scene more dynamic cause the characters can really only just sit there talking to each other

“IS. LIGHTNING. MCQUEEN. OOC. I SWEAR HE’S OOC IN THIS SCENE”

Or, alternatively: “IS ANYONE IN-CHARACTER IN THIS SCENE OH GOD I DON’T KNOW THIS SERIES AT ALL DO I I’M HORRIBLE”

“wait do they even have windshield wipers”

“how far can they stretch their axles out like arms omg this must read so awkward”

when you have to write Mater’s dialogue and you start  to say it out loud in the Larry the Cable Guy voice cause good God how do you write that voice properly (i.e. occasional horrid grammar and/or catchphrases)

*incoherent screaming about car anatomy*

“Okay would McQueen really cry here no he’d hold it in- but wait a second wouldn’t it be more powerful if he broke down here- alright listen up here-”

“OKAY IS IT THE ENGINE OR THE BATTERY THAT’S THE HEART I’M SO CONFUSED AND I’M THE ONE WRITING IT”

here's my unasked-for analysis on why your tape enthusiasm post is getting so many responses about bypassing using tape. This is not meant to be an indictment of your writing style, I would hate to dampen that, it's mainly just an explanation of how things have happened this way.

summary: Your enthusiasm for the tape's capabilities was interpreted as something else by certain audiences, who were mainly focused on what they interpreted the post's goals were.

your enthusiasm for some of the capabilities of tape (being able record into digital audio files, pirating things), was interpreted into a goal-oriented thing. people started focusing on the goal of obtaining a digital audio file of pirated audio, and wanted to point out methods they found more efficient of obtaining that goal. This is how they also came to interpret tape as the "middleman", because instead of the endgoal being enjoying using and having the tape, they thought the endgoal was pirating audio into personal digital files. They saw the post as an educational post for those goals and felt the need to point out other methods, instead of a post about showing enthusiasm and educating about the capabilities of tape.

Your enthusiasm with how cool tape is (" here’s the fucking magic. ", "you’re doing gangbusters. You’re cooking with gas. You’re thinking with portals. You’ve won the internet"), reached a mismatch with audiences who did not think tape was that cool, because other methods could achieve the goals of pirating and obtaining a digital file. They did not understand why you were so excited by a form they considered inferior or unwieldy, and interpreted it as thinking maybe you were so excited about tape because it was the only method of achieving directly recorded digital files of pirated audio that you knew of, thinking you were excited about achieving the goals instead of the method, despite that not being the case. By not mentioning Audacity's innate speaker-recording ability, this reinforced their mistaken belief.

soz for writing this unasked-for analysis, i need 2 sleep right now, but i can't sleep until i get stuff out of my head, and 4 some reason, this was sticking in my head.

tape casette recorders are compatible with literally every. single. thing. im out here living in 2095.

me: here’s a beginner’s guide to tape recording

crazed individual 1: you don’t need tape for this

crazed individual 2: woag.. so dystopian hashtag cyberpunk

crazed individual 3: hmm this doesn’t seem legal ? i love the taste of laces btw

crazed individual 4: if i can’t hear 30 million petabytes of samples per second i’ll actually die

crazed individual 5: millenials THINK “they” invented betamax… imbecile!

well unreset that counter because i was participating in the Scarlet stream with 2z (i think that was our host's name?), and other recent runs as well. I mentioned the 2014 one because that one was the most prominent in people's memories, had the most people chaotically making stuff together similar to the number participating in goncharov, plus all the lore isn't mostly on the main TPP subreddit anymore, it's slightly harder to find.

all this sudden lore surrounding "goncharov" is reminding me of the time many people collectively made lore and art for the Twitch Plays Pokemon stream in 2014. Goncharov is kind of like tumblr's Twitch Plays Pokemon.

Suez Canal blockage

Can the suez canal blockage with solved with tonnes of dynamite?

KABOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

goodbye ship!

goodbye cargo!

Hello shrapnel! (guess the surrounding area shall have to be emptied)

but would flying some explosives over there, exploding the ship and its cargo cost less for people, since that would let the trade go through again, or would that damage the canal, and cost people more?

paul mccartney and alec baldwin interview about john lennon (recorded october 9 2020)

from siriusxm radio

recorded at a low low quality of 11025 hz

remove spaces

mega . nz/file/IrpRyKLD#zHw0dODrfUvzs9KOh4UHrDZhugS5OAr7REXmUUOFZ28

it’s like 10% interview, and 90% song/filler. around 1 hour and 14 minutes, 30 mb filesize. I think paul did a few performances of some songs (that i forgot because i was busy doing homework) before that, but i forgot to record it. go to the recent news and look for when the interview is playing again on sirusxm, and tune in around 5 or 10 minutes before, and maybe you have a chance of hearing it

download the thing if the site doesn’t let you listen to it all since mega nz restricts watch minutes (make sure u r on firefox or chrome)

what is life music video

in 2014, there was a contest for film-makers to make their own music video for What Is Life (one of George Harrison’s solo works), and the winner would be picked as the official video.

This isn’t the winner, but I thought it was really good, so I want people to see it.

Video was made by henrysorren

here is a screenshot preview of what it looks like.

Seriously though, I’d like to thank you for actually reading the article! I don’t particularly like or hate the Cars franchise, but seeing its new movie already getting this negative press on tumblr makes me sad, especially when it feels like people are blaming the director for something he didn’t say.

'Cars 3' First Look: Meet Pixar's New Millennials
It’s mobile millennials vs. mid-size cars with midlife crises in Disney-Pixar’s next movie, Cars 3, the second sequel in the billion-dollar franchise, skidding into theaters this June. If you caugh…
Sounds Bad.

Sounds bad.

I found this old Pokemon Battle Revolution video that features Red vs Leaf! I love Leaf’s pokeball-throw-twirl and the fact that she beat Red by screwing the rules and having 2 turns in a row :D

Someone somewhere (I forgot where...) once said Alfons was in this picture

Of course I first thought that it was just Alphonse. But then I looked closely. He’s there alright.

(Clue that probably would make it a lot more obvious: What might Alphonse be looking at?)

Well, just look at that!

Right there, next to Edward’s foot!

If Edward Elric gets a lot of info on our world jammed into his head with his first encounter with the Gate, does that mean he knows when and where all the important historical events will happen? If he does, that means he and Al can make photo-bombing important moments of history a hobby, Post-CoS!

And then conspiracy theorists start finding out that many photos for some reason feature the same two blonde men.

I think many people disliked Near (and Mello), not because they were bad, they just arrived at the wrong time (right after L's death)! Poor Near (and Mello).

We need to talk about Near.

//As my followers are well aware, I have a great many headcanons about Death Note I feel very strongly about. Yet of all my headcanons, there is only one which I might literally fight someone on—namely that (like me) this badass cutie right here…
