MCFLY JULY ‘24 ⸺ 「 16 / 31 * SYNCHRONICITY 」

September 12, 1885

Maggie always cautioned him his bleeding heart would get him into trouble.

He couldn’t help that, though. There was already enough suffering in the world—what harm did it do to be kind? To look after others as if they were your own?

Mr. Eastwood was a good soul. Oh, like his brother, poor Martin, may God rest his soul, he had his troubles, that all-consuming need to try and prove himself—he’d wager the farm he was somebody’s little brother too, so certain was he of that—to win the fleeting gossip of a group of people whose affections only lingered on whatever was most exciting in this dust bowl of a town.

The only people a man had to prove himself to was himself and to God.

But, like Martin, Mr. Eastwood had a heart as big as the country, caring just as much about others as he did for himself. That much was obvious that very first night he blew into their lives like a whirlwind, taking the fence with it, only to slot into their little home—their lives—almost like he belonged there.

It's funny how just a few short days can really make a man feel like he knows somebody...

And little Will had taken to him almost immediately, reinforcing his opinion that, whether this be an act of Providence or sheer luck, Clint Eastwood had entered their lives for a reason and had a place amongst them, if he so wanted.

He’d never felt quite a connection to anyone like that before, not since the day his younger brother was ripped away from him, taken somewhere he couldn’t follow. Not yet.

Just like Martin, Clint Eastwood, too, was gone, and Seamus wasn’t planning on that news to tear a hole clean through him.

Supposing it was a man’s time, there was just nothing that could be done, but like he did what feels like an eternity ago now, Seamus lifts his head heavenward and stares long and hard at the perfect blue. Squinting against the afternoon sun’s harsh light, Seamus searches for something, though he isn’t quite sure what. A glimmer in the sky, perhaps. A flash of something, a revelation, a gust of wind rolling through the countryside carrying a message for his ears only, anything.

The heat lashes across his pale cheeks as he waits. Nothing changes, not so much as an errant cloud in the sky for his troubles or to signify that someone was listening, but Seamus keeps his eyes trained on the sky.

Why, God? I did everything I could. I thought You were trying to tell me this was my second chance—isn’t that why You put Clint Eastwood in front of me, gave him Martin’s face, and gave him the same troubles?

He did it—he didn’t fight that brute, he made it out okay—and this is what he’s given for overcoming that? A freak accident sending him to the bottom of the ravine?

“Seamus!” Maggie’s voice cuts across the silence like the crack of a whip. “When you’re done, hurry up inside—we’ve got guests. Mister Brown has come to pay us a visit. He says he has something he wants to share with us. And don't you forget to wash up first!”

i like describing people i find attractive as “dreamy.” makes me feel like a teenage girl in the 1950s cutting pictures out of movie magazine to decorate my vanity table

the reason luke skywalker and marty mcfly are such radical protagonists (at least to me) is that their whole thing is just radically believing in the inherent good of people and that their goodness can be nurtured with relentless compassion??? like obviously there are some, shall we say, dated sensibilities in back to the future and star wars. but the fact that one of the first things we learn about Marty and Luke is that they're besties with the town old man everyone avoids is a testament to the power of protagonists who are outcasts, not for being edgy and cynical about people, but because they refuse to be. the way both marty and luke break the cycle of their familial neglect by showing their fathers the kindness they never received.....whoo! i love them so much!

something i like about watching old movies is how small a lot of them feel. like every movie nowadays is trying to be the most important thing to ever happen but back then a movie could just be a guy having a really fucked up day and that was enough

“It means your future hasn’t been written yet. No one’s has! Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you!”

It’s been a while since I last painted something, hasn’t it? This time I decided to do an actual portrait using a photo reference, and since I’m still a complete nerd over Back to the Future, I thought I might as well paint something I’m familiar with. I’m not sure how long it took me exactly. I’d say maybe four and a half hours? If I was going for complete realism it would’ve taken longer, but I like a more painterly look with obvious brushstrokes.

I always enjoy drawing Christopher Lloyd because his face is so expressive and really lends itself towards illustration. I’d say that painting him isn’t quite the same, but still a great experience all the same. Oddly enough, I think what I’m most proud of are the wrinkles and little bumps on his face. I don’t know why, I just really like how they turned out for some reason.
