Lightning McQueen: Moronic Feminist!
(At the Demolition Derby with Luigi, Guido, and Mack watch from the side in concern. They see Cruz stuck in the mud and Lightning nearby.)
Luigi: Oh shit! Lightning go get-a her out of the mud!
Lightning: I’m not doin’ it. That would be sexist
Luigi, Guido, and Mack: What!?
Lightning: This right here, this situation, this is the damsel in distress trope. And I am not about to contribute to it.
Mack: While I can agree that trope is horrible in this particular situation we need you to do this. She’s in danger.
Lightning: No. It'd be against my moral compass.
Luigi: Your fucking moral compass is a roulette wheel!
Cruz: (increasingly scared for her life) Lightning I know what you mean but this isn’t the time for that.
Lightning: I’m sorry Cruz I can’t do it.
Luigi: Look, she’s already in the situation. You just need to pull her out of it.
Mack: What if we pretend she’s just a crippled car.
Lightning: That’d be denying her sexual identity. Cruz, you do identify as female, right?
Cruz:(annoyed but getting worried over not being able to get out of the mud) Yeah and I understand. Sometimes in our culture things are ridiculous, but face it, situation is situation.
Lightning: I’m sorry. I can’t do it.
Guido: OOOOHHHHHH GOOODD!
Lightning: Think about it from my perspective! What do you see over there?
Luigi: YOUR TRAINER! AND SHE’S IN TROUBLE!
Lightning: Well I see a highly capable girl. Sure life’s beaten her down a little but that’s not gonna stop her. Nothing’s gonna stop her. She can become president of the world one day!
Luigi: NOT IF SHE’S SAWED IN HALF BY MISS FRITTER!
(20 minutes later Luigi, Guido, and Mack leave the two at the derby and back to the trailer)
Luigi: Okay, so we all agree. We’ll hide her body on the beach, if Lightning’s still alive we train somewhere else and never come back here again. We’ll-a tell Sterling we lost Cruz somehow. Good?
Guido: (Nods)
Mack: I like it!
TROPES/DYNAMICS I LIKE
as a com/darkshipper !
showed up one day x doesn't know where they came from
amnesia x someone they used to hate (bonus points if they find out and are afraid of them again)
brainwashed x the person trying to save them (bonus: they still betray them in the end)
hate each other but stuck together because of traumabonding
codependent addicts
father figure x traumatized boy (could be romantic or platonic)
dying x slowly killing them
catatonic x manic
on the run together
shy priest x depraved stalker
bully x bully (bonus if they're childhood friends) (bonus bonus for internalized homophobia)
the worst x hates them but feels obligated to stay because of an "i can fix them"
friends to lovers to enemies
trying to kill each other but they end up falling in love anyway (bonus if one of them is still forced to kill the other and it absolutely breaks them)
condescending x condescending-er
childhood friends but one forgot the other
reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
reblog if you believe fanfic writers are as valid and talented as any professional writer who publishes and sells their novels

yk the ‘bury your gays’ trope where the writers kill off gay characters? great name. but what about ‘kill your queers’. it’s so bad and it just sounds like a hate crime but like. the alliteration is nice yk.
And then they aren't finished and haven't been updated since 2011 and you feel the urge to write a fanfiction about that fanfiction but feel as though you can't live up to that legacy -
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
Holdupholdupholdupholduphoooooold up
So....
Where is the fanfiction? Where is that fanfiction? Don't tell me y'all hadn't thought about this!!(!)
Like... There was literally only one bed?!
Also: He was the only man to sleep with Clint Eastwood HELLO?!
This. This is my jam.
I mean I SAY I love the ‘Enemies to Lovers’ trope but what I really MEAN is that I love the
‘Enemies to Resentful Allies In A Time Of Crisis to Grudging Mutual Respect to Growing Fondness Concealed By Snark to Hurtful Betrayal to Slow Reconciliation With A Greater Understanding Of Each Other to Strange But Solid Friendship to Unexpected Feelings In A Time Of Crisis to Denying Their Feelings While Growing Closer As Friends to Epiphanies Of Love In The Worst Possible Circumstances to Mutual Pining to Unbearable Sexual Tension to Lovers’

Someone else wrote it? You can do it better. Maybe not from everyone's point of view, but definitely someone's, probably yours.
fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.
fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”
