#salqueen save me…

[roe-and-memory]

i saw a tiktok about how men usually get their first flowers at their funerals and… it made me think…

imagine its race day, lightnings on the track, sallys in the pits, and she just. randomly gets the idea to get him flowers. its sudden, an abrupt urge to just go get them Right Then, so she tells the crew she’ll be right back and slips out of the pit and infield, and finds the nearest flower shop.

lightning likes flowers because she does, he’ll listen to any of her botany rambles any day, even if they dont make much sense - but hes gotten her flowers hundreds of times and shes never returned the favour. she picks the ones with the most meaning, the ones that mean i love you in every way no matter what, the ones that remind her of him. when shes successfully created a bouquet of flowers that is him in any way you can think, she buys a card. and she writes him a love letter. she names every flower she put in the bouquet and what they mean. and she tells him how much she loves and adores him, and how she’ll always love him more than anything. she adds a couple cheesy compliments in there too, seals it up, and makes it back to the track just in time to watch him take the checkered flag; he wins the race.

they meet in victory lane, and she hands him the flowers first (keeping the note safely in her bag until she can give it to him when its quieter) and. just imagine him standing on top of his car, hands thrown in up in the air in celebration, with the flowers clutched in one hand and the bottle of champagne in the other and and. god i love them

she gives him the card later that night when everythings quieted down — docs outside the motorhome drinking a beer with strip, and the crew is working on the car and getting the garage cleaned up — so its just them. with the flowers safely in a cup on the kitchen counter, she pulls it out of her bag, hands it to him, and gently prods for him to read it then.

hes not the emotional type, its been drilled into his head by a couple different people that hes not really supposed to cry, but its a great improvement when he tears up a little bit while reading it. she cant help but smile because god. isnt she lucky?

when he finishes reading it, he wipes his eyes with the back of his hands and ushers for her to come closer and they end up cuddling on the couch (doc finds them about an hour later, curled up together, sound asleep. he throws a blanket over them and leaves them be)

SalQueen Tangled AU Things:

“This...is the story of how I died.” McQueen Extra™

What offends Lightning about his wanted posters is that they always forget his lucky sticker. How??

The Smoulder, McQueen edition.

Sally broke it.

“THIS IS SOOOOO FUUUUN!!”

“I am a despicable motor vehicle.”

Lightning about to be walloped upon by the Thunder Hollow ruffians and Sally making like a net of tires or something fall from the ceiling on Miss Fritter to stop them.

“GIVE ME BACK MY GUY!”

Lightning is resorted to hanging from the wall - drip-pan scene style - while the derby cars sing. Ugh.

Miss Fritter totally nicknames Sally “Bluebell”.

Lightning parkouring along the dam tho.

When they think they’re about to drown, he admits his real name is...well...”Monty”.

Sally surprisingly doesn’t laugh. She finds it cute. But they both agree that Lightning does suit him a bit better.

The image of wittle-bitty Lighty getting his start by reading fantastic adventures to the littler orphans and painting his own lightning bolt on his side.

I maybe-ironically like to imagine Mater as Maximus if for no other reason than Lightning screaming as he’s being dragged away and Sally chasing them down.

Dance with her, Lightning.

DANCE WITH HER.

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, MUDDY-BRITCHES.

During the lantern release, Sally is up as high as she can go on her chassis; she’s just SO EXCITED.

Meanwhile Lightning’s watching with that smitten smile. <3

“Holding out on us again, McQueen? We want the girl.”

He may not like to sing, but no way are the derby gang going to let their Muddy-Britches buddy be led to the car crusher. Finally a chance to tackle something!!

Forget Maximus. Lightning totally went for that flying leap off the castle walls and across the town rooftops himself on the way to save his princess.

Also that. Just picture the fast red boy tearing through the woods and flying around bends, engine roaring cause his girl’s in danger and if you think he’s going to idle by and let it happen…

We’ve all seen the sad scene that follows him reaching the tower so uhhhh yeah no explanation needed.

Prince Lightning.

Feel free to add more.

Hey guys! Hillbillyhell here! I wanted to apologize for not being active on with the SalQueen blog! I know I said the big update was gonna be in June/July but I’m still working on it!

I do want to address (since there have been a few who have contacted me about the status of the SalQueen blog) that I do have priorities outside of this blog. I recently got a job to save up for my move to California so my time will be mostly focused on that and working on my portfolio! Any other time will be small doodles to my liking rather it be SalQueen or not! This blog is made for fun and I do not wish to make it a job since 1. It’s not Pixar official and I’m not getting paid to update it and 2. It would take the joy out of this blog to make it just to have an update. I put a lot of soul into my interpretation of Lightning and Sally and having to update it just for the sake of an update would not feel right. I want to keep this blog fun and full of love especially since SalQueen is my favorite couple. I do hope that you continue supporting and being patient with this blog!

Fire

Salqueen - Sarge/Fillmore - Luido 

It begins when that bright-eyed lawyer manages to convince the townsfolk to make him fix the road, despite all of Doc’s protests.


He remembers feeling himself burn with rage as he stared in disbelief at her smug face. He quickly withdraws his offer to take her to dinner, and her bemused chuckle only fuels his anger more.


It feels like a small flame at first. A candle that has just been lit.


Her face annoys him because he knows he’s been tricked by those bright blue eyes.


When he haphazardly finishes the road in a little under an hour, he knows he’s done a terrible job. He knows she’ll be mad, and that only makes his own flame burn because she pisses him off so much.


She yells at him for it, of course, and he can’t help but feel a little disappointed in himself for making her so upset. But that’s silly. Why should he feel disappointed with himself because of her, out of all the cars in the world? He should be disappointed for not finishing the road sooner.


Doc tricks him and he’s forced to start from the beginning. Seeing her watching him from her office is terribly frustrating, and he takes it out on the cracked asphalt beneath him.


When she has the fire truck hose him down, he’s absolutely furious. The fire inside him is burning and he’s ready to yell at her when she asks him if he wants to stay in the motel. The flame dies down and flickers happily as he watches her embarrassedly back up into her office after he asks about her tattoo.


After that, the flame progressively begins to grow. Seeing her face, her smile, everything about her drives him crazy but not in the same way as before. When she takes him for a drive, he about loses his mind.
It’s not a flame anymore, but a huge fire at this point. It consumes his entire being. He loses himself to it, allows himself to fall hard for this determined bright-eyed lawyer. A million Piston Cups could never make him burn in this way.


And when he sees her delighted grin after the reopening of Wheel Well, he realizes that she’s been lighting his way the entire time.

Sarge just about gets a heart attack when he sees dark smoke coming from Fillmore’s hut. It’s not the usual kind of white, misty clouds he’s used to seeing leaving the hippie’s window.


So rushes over without a second thought. He has a canister of water attached and bursts in the hut despite the fact that all he can see is darkness.


Fillmore is inside, but the idiot seems nonplussed. He’s calmly moving his belongings away from the fire in the middle of his hut as though it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Sarge wastes no time dumping the entirely of the canister onto the flame and it dies out with a small sizzle.


Fillmore hardly seems surprised. “Hey, Sarge.”


“Hey?” repeats Sarge furiously, and he wants nothing more than to punch the laid-back van. How stupid can someone be?


“That’s what I said. Hey.”


“You–I—Fillmore, why did you have a goddamn fire in the middle of your hut?”


“Hmmm. Candles caught on fire I guess. No big deal.”


“No big deal? You almost burned this place down! What if you got stuck? Nobody even knows what happened–”


“It’s alright, Sarge. I’m alright.” Grinning, the van drives over to the furious Jeep and nudges his tires. “Thanks for caring, man.”


“Don’t expect me to come save you again,” scoffs Sarge when he manages to get his bearings. He turns around sharply, and is surprised to see the entire town frantically making their way over. Red is about two seconds from hosing down the hut when Sarge shakes his head.


“It’s fine, everyone. Nothing to worry about.”


Fillmore comes out of his hut at sound of everyone’s concerned voices. He smiles at his friends–his family–and assures them that he’s alright and nobody is hurt.


Sarge glares at him before driving back to his home with a huff.


Fillmore makes a mental note to apologize to the Jeep later. He grins at the thought of what he’ll do to that grumpy set of lips to turn them upside down. 


Guido realizes he’s royally screwed when he finds himself angrily stacking tires after seeing a baby blue Fiat kiss Luigi on the cheek.


He knows Luigi’s been seeing her and he knows that he should be happy for his best friend for finding love, but Guido can’t help but hate that blue Fiat with all his being.


It hits him that maybe it’s more than just platonic jealously tugging at his heartstrings.


He doesn’t understand why he feels so angry, why he’s enveloped in rage whenever he sees that blue car near Luigi.
 

Actually, no that’s a lie.
 He knows very well why he’s so upset.


But he won’t admit it. Not to himself and more importantly, not to Luigi. So instead, he puts on a happy face and pretends to support his best friend’s decision to pursue the blue Fiat. It’s only slightly offensive that of all the colors she had to be, it’s the same kind of blue as Guido.


Trust Luigi to pick a car who could torment him this much even without trying.


One particularly warm evening, Guido finds himself waiting impatiently inside Topolino’s Tire Shop. It’s almost two in the morning and Luigi still hasn’t returned home from his date. He knows he has no obligation to wait up for the yellow car, but he can’t bear the thought of sleeping while Luigi is out and about somewhere. What if the moron gets into an accident?


At a quarter after two, the front gate opens and Guido stiffens as Luigi attempts to quietly sneak in. The forklift clears his throat and Luigi jumps about a foot in the air.


“Guido!”


“You’re home late.”


“Ah…yes. The date went on longer than I thought….” Luigi trails off. He’s more than surprised to find that Guido has stayed up for him, and even more so to see that the forklift looks as though he wants to cry.


“Of course it did,” snaps Guido, suddenly very very upset. He storms out of the shop and books it. Vaguely, he can hear Luigi calling his name in the quiet evening but he doesn’t care. He simply speeds up and drives and drives and drives.


Eventually Guido ends up on a secluded cliff overlooking the town of Porto Corsa. This used to be his and Luigi’s favorite spot to hide when they were younger, but it’s been years since they’ve last been here.


Guido shivers at the cool air but has no intentions of returning back to the tire shop. He doesn’t think he can face Luigi after this. It’s painful to keep pretending that everything is okay between them even though it tears him inside whenever he sees Luigi with her.


“I knew you’d be here.”


Guido doesn’t turn around at the familiar voice.


He hears some shuffling behind him and the sound of branches crunching underneath tires. Then he feels warmth and slowly turns around.


Luigi’s managed to set up a small campfire and Guido is hit with nostalgia at the sight.


“Why are you upset, Guido? Did I do something? I’m sorry if I did,” Luigi begins quietly. He slowly approaches Guido, who hasn’t removed his gaze from the flickering flame. “You know I’d never do anything to purposely upset you, right?”


“Yes. I know,” Guido replies blankly. He doesn’t want to do this. He doesn’t want to lose Luigi.


“Then talk to me. What have I done to upset you?” When Guido doesn’t respond, Luigi lets out an annoyed groan. “Guido, please talk to me! We can’t make up if I don’t know why I did to upset you!”


“Her.”


“What?”


“Her. That–that woman–”


Silence.


Then…


“Are you jealous?”


Guido looks up sharply. His first instinct is to say “no!” but for some reason, he can’t admit it. Instead, he looks away and he hears Luigi let out a small sigh.


“It’s funny…she feels the same way about you.”


Luigi suddenly seems a lot closer. Guido feels a tire pressing against his own.


He turns to the side and Luigi is definitely closer than ever.


Guido’s eyes lock on Luigi’s lips and he can’t look away.


Not until Luigi kisses him that is.


And if that isn’t the most amazing, spectacular feeling in the world. It feels like he’s burning from inside, as though someone lit him aflame. He feels hotter than the small crackling fire beside them and it takes everything in him not to whine when Luigi finally pulls away.


“Guido…I…”


“How long?” Guido’s lips barely move.


“Since we met,” Luigi whispers gently and the forklift surges in for another kiss at his words. The blue Fiat is already forgotten, and she will definitely be heartbroken when Luigi stops coming by to take her on dates.


Luigi honestly feels bad about that, but with Guido kissing him like this, with the glow from the fire illuminating their connected forms under the moonlight, he can’t say that he regrets it one bit.
