OKAY, okay. Okay. I've been thinking about this post since I saw it this morning & am going to take you up on your offer to shout back at you about it. Because. I do Have Thoughts.
- Like you said, hearing the words "Marty's Introduction Letter" immediately would make me think that it's a letter from Marty to an unknown audience, like the way Doc addresses the readers of the DeLorean manual in his opening letter. If someone asked me to guess who Marty is writing his letter to, I don't think Dave & Linda would've even been anywhere on my radar. This is a super interesting direction to go in--having it be "established" that Marty has (multiple times) tried to tell his siblings about his time-traveling adventures. And I know most things outside of the trilogy can be a sort of "take it or leave it" as canon situation, but I actually really like the idea of this being part of the BTTF universe. (Ignoring the fact that Marty definitely wasn't focused on grabbing souvenirs during the events of the trilogy) There is just. So much potential to explore the events surrounding Marty deciding to spill his guts to Dave and Linda, and my mind started swirling with fic ideas as soon as I read this post.
- I love that Marty is close enough with his sibs that they're the ones he tells and leaves this whole box of mementos for them to find in the case of him like...mysteriously disappearing for a long stretch of time. BUT what sticks out to me in the letter is, "I've always told you that time travel is so heavy, and you always treat me like a madman," because it makes me wonder if it's a, "Haha, our little brother has such an overactive imagination. Guess he takes after dad that way, huh?" scenario or an, "Uh oh, Marty literally believes he traveled in time and might actually be seriously delusional." scenario. Like, did all these attempts at making Dave and Linda believe him just result in them getting upset & genuinely worried for Marty? After the first speech or two, did they start to shut down future attempts at the conversation right away like, "Marty, STOP, we don't want to hear it. You didn't travel through time, please go get some help."
- Mostly I want to know when and why Marty made the choice to reveal something so unbelievable sounding that he had to have known beforehand that not only would they not believe him but that he ran the very real risk of having them think he is actually insane. Did he just want them in on his big secret and have someone to share the tales of his super fun, horrifically terrifying adventures with? Or did the decision come from a place of Marty being so distressed over what he saw and experienced that he just had to tell someone and use them as an outlet, even if they didn't believe him? (I also doubt Doc would approve of Marty telling anyone, so Marty probably did it without consulting Doc first)
- ALSO, I looked up this box on the official BTTF merch site and I think this is worth shouting about as well:
According to this description, Marty's primary reason for putting together this little collection of items was to remind himself that his adventures were real. Yeah, his letter means he eventually decided to leave the box in the care of his siblings in the case of his being stuck in time somewhere, but that doesn't seem to be its original purpose. This souvenir box is for Marty to pull out and look through when he needs to remind himself that it all really did happen. Which leaves the question: why would Marty feel the need to do this? I'm reminded of the comics (I forget which one specifically) where the aftermath of his adventures have left him distracted, depressed, and generally restless. There's a scene where he's sort of venting to Jennifer and overall moping, and Jen kind of snaps in frustration and tells him she thinks he may be making all of the stories up. (She's evidently convinced herself that what she saw in 2015 and later seeing Doc in the time train was just a wild dream/Marty tried to suck her into his delusions)
Now, I don't want to believe that Jen would actually gaslight Marty (comic-book Jennifer is AWFUL), but I think it's entirely possible Marty could eventually start to doubt his own memories of what he went through. Maybe the trauma of it all starts to block the memories out? Or maybe as he settles back into regular life and starts to get used to the new timeline, things get blurry and he begins to wonder if maybe he had just imagined everything. Especially if there was a big gap between Doc leaving in part III and his eventual return/additional time travel. Anyway, the point is that Marty at some point decided he had to put together a box full of evidence he could turn to in the moments his mind played tricks on him and made him doubt two entire weeks of his life.
LAST FEW POINTS
- Good for Marty for figuring out how to use punctuation! His original letter to Doc in the cafe contained not a single period or comma, so it's nice to see that adult-Marty finally got a handle on it. (Though I excuse the cafe letter because he was under serious stress, so punctuation wasn't important. But I think it's entirely likely teenager-Marty never included punctuation in anything he wrote, and everything was stream of consciousness, lol)
- Also: the way Marty writes the letters "m" & "n" sure is special.
Those words are supposed to be "mean," "Marlene", and "madman." Marty. My love. What is happening here?
SPARX LOSES THEIR MIND [a fairly long post fair warning]
Why hello everyone! Has Sparx made another purchase that they then freaked out over for a period of time and have now come to share with everyone? Yeah, precisely, keep up, come on. Me being incorrigible is not the focus today, the focus today is the box of prop replicas I bought from the official Back to the Future website and more precisely the letter inside that’s been monopolizing all the space in my brain ever since [and well, a few other things inside I’ll get to, but they’re less paradigm-shifting than this letter imo]
So let’s see what we’ve got!
So the website description [the product is here btw] lists like, everything you get in the box. Sure, yeah, totally normal. I was excited for every little thing in this box to be perfectly clear. However, what really jingled my jangles and got me curious was the bit saying “Marty’s Introduction Letter”. Now, what I thought this was going to be was some like softly-meta bit from our dear young friend Marty, probably labeled “to whomsoever finds this” and explaining his adventures. I mean, makes sense, right?
Except that’s not what it is! At all! Guess what the OPENING LINE is??
EXCITED? PERPLEXED? SURPRISED? SO WAS I.
Let’s keep reading, shall we? I’ll transcribe it to make it easier to read alongside the pictures because a) friendly to people who struggle with text in images and b) Marty’s handwriting is. It sure is. Love you, buddy.
Front Side:
“Dear Dave and Linda,
If you are reading this it’s probably because I haven’t been home in a while, but don’t worry, just because I’m not here now doesn’t mean that we won’t see each other again in the future.
I am most likely traveling back in time with Doc and we’ve had a problem that prevents me [possibly us?] from returning to the present.
I’ve always told you that time travel is so heavy and you always treat me like a madman, but if Doc and I hadn’t traveled to the past and the future on several occasions then Dad would be six feet under right now, Biff would be our stepfather, Junior and Marlene would be in the clink and you two would be living in [not sure? it could be the word ‘ruin’] and hitting the bottle. In the worst case scenario, mom and Dad wouldn’t even have fallen in love and we would have vanished from existence as if-” [continued on the next page]
Back Side:
“-someone had erased us from a photograph.
I’m not going to give you my speech again, I know you don’t believe me, but as crazy as it may sound, there are two things that Marty McFly will never be: a liar or a chicken.
What’s in this box will blow your mind. In it I keep memories of my travels to 1885, 1955, 1985, and 2015: pictures, tickets, maps, and souvenirs of the past and the future. I even keep a coin from the casino that that jerk Biff built after stealing the DeLorean from us.
Your brother in time
Marty”
Now let’s take this step by step because this is a journey and a half. Granted, I do fully understand and I know we all have to know that this box’s existence with everything it has in it kinda requires just a bit of suspension of disbelief, considering it’s highly unlikely Marty actually grabbed every little thing in it from start to finish of the trilogy. I may or may not walk through that later who’s to say. I know I’m gonna at least pick some of my favorite things in the box to talk about. But to be perfectly honest, even just taking one iota of this letter as somewhat canon-adjacent or even just one possible canon is making me lose my mind.
Let’s get going wow so THAT’S what tumblr formatting do that’s neat. LET’S DISCUSS first - Dave and Linda!
Okay so like literally first and foremost the biggest point here- Marty trying to tell his siblings about time travel. Dave and Linda! The first assumption, as far as I have seen it, has always been his parents! In fact, his dad, for the whole science fiction angle. Although, to be quite fair, most takes I’ve seen have really been George figuring it out, not quite so much Marty telling him on purpose. And then, well, y’know, Doc and Jennifer are the only other people who know. But this is just wildly interesting. When did he start trying? The wording of the letter makes it sound like he’s tried tons of times, even though they don’t believe him. How openly does he talk about it? Is it really just to the two of them? It sounds about like that, especially considering the apparent potential secrecy of this box and it being addressed to just the two of them. We can make any guesses we want about how long it took before he tried to talk to them- perhaps not long after returning home from his adventures, perhaps it took a few years, perhaps it even took decades! Because that being an option does tie into my second big point!
Using headings is making formatting easier don’t worry I promise I will maybe probably get the hang of making my posts look nicer :) probably :) Time period and Doc!
This is 2015 Marty!! But the Lone Pines, non-broken hand version, which to my knowledge this is the first time we’ve heard from him. I wonder endlessly if this version did successfully become a rockstar, but I don’t think much of anything in this letter confirms or denies it. We do know this who we’re dealing with though, or at least that it’s passed 2015, on account of when Marty is listing off all the awful things that he had to prevent via time travel, he says that “Junior and Marlene would be in the clink”, which happened on that day they traveled to in Part 2- this takes place after that day. And most most importantly, Marty and the Doc still travel through time together even when Marty is in his 40s! Which means they’re still hanging out even then :) this is very important information. Which not just this one time, but the fact that [Marty presumes, though I don’t doubt it really does] this happens a Lot, enough that Marty could open the letter with “probably stuck somewhere in time” as if they go through all the time, but this is a safeguard in case they get stuck. Granted, re: my post about the whole Marty’s mental state thing, that would call into question how long this has been going on, how often they do this, if Marty has had the opportunity to talk this out or deal with his issues in any kind of way… but I digress.
Completely separately from any knowledge or events gleaned from the comics or the game, we know that Doc does in fact visit at some point again! Which, y’know, good! Don’t leave your boy like that, Doc. This could also like potentially cue back into Doc being like super long lived re: the rejuvenation clinic thing along with WHATEVER ELSE future stuff he might encounter/pull off/use but also Doc is a time traveler and can go whenever he pleases, so actually this proves nothing. Please enjoy the mental image of Marty in his 40s with Doc in his 60s-70s with me though, they are both older but they are such so friends still. Please. It’s giving me serotonin I hope it also gives You serotonin.
Etc [aka I can’t think of any more headers and actually I’m going to just fill the last bit with random little thoughts, every paragraph is a new one this time <3]
I am so incredibly dying to hear what Marty’s “speech” is, him referring to it as “my speech again” implies that it’s more or less the same every time. Dave and Linda don’t believe him, which of course as we know [re: Doc’s Delorean handbook with the very long name I’m too pumped up to check right now] Doc specifically didn’t allow that to get out, so it makes sense. Well, that and their dad is a famous sci-fi author and as far as Dave and Linda are concerned, that’s all he’s ever been, so Marty talking about time travel probably just sounds like more of what their dad goes on about. Granted, Marty literally has a mad scientist best friend, but one, other than the time machine and various little doodads like the automatic dog feeder and the giant amp- which are in the grand scheme of things pretty mundane and believable- we don’t have proof that Doc has made any actually strange or extraordinary inventions that work for this kind of precedent to be set. And, well, on top of that they just don’t believe his “tall tale.” I would still Love to hear what it is though.
And the fact that he just TELLS THEM all the terrible things that did or almost happened! The fact that he follows this section up with the “my speech again” line means this knowledge is not a part of said speech, and y’know with the contents of the box and that fact’s presence this is probably the first time they’ll have heard it. Which like, wow, if this box convinces them [and kinda even if it doesn’t] that is a LOT.
I’m also incredibly curious where- or, heh, more accurately when- Doc and Marty have gone and gotten lost. If nothing has changed and Dave and Linda are able to still read this letter and see the contents of the box, then logically it probably isn’t the past. Or, well, it could be, and maybe they just haven’t changed anything, but c’mon now. This is Doc and Marty. They’d probably have changed something by mistake. [Or, okay, maybe not, it’s entirely possible age/time has made them wiser and more careful, buuuuut let’s call it a 50/50 chance, haha] It’s probably the future? But then, doubly again, we don’t know! “Doesn’t mean you won’t see me again in the future” sure could imply either way, though it leans future to my way of thinking. It could mean they’ll see Marty again and he’ll have come from the past the normal way, just even older than 40s now, but the wording more makes me think they’ll keep aging and find him stuck there. GRANTED this I think, most logically, means Marty knows he and Doc will eventually figure it out and get back, and as usual, they’ll set the time machine to a reasonable amount of time in the future from their departure to not seem strange. But it also could give a little hint to where they are in the future, since Marty’s siblings are both older and so if it is that they’d age and see him, it couldn’t be too terribly far in the future.
In leaving this box and note, what was Marty planning? Was it just to finally have them believe him? Was it to have somebody have this box, in case he doesn’t make it back? I’d imagine he’d have left some kind of note about what to tell Jennifer and his kids if that were the case- and maybe what to do with his other stuff, but Jen and the kids at minimum because c’mon, Marty wouldn’t leave them never knowing- so I think it’s unlikely, but it’s a possible route worth thinking about. Then of course an interesting, though admittedly far-fetched theory, which is that he might be intending that Dave and Linda somehow assist in the rescue/escape out of time of Doc and Marty! Which has little grounding past arming them with information and items seeming so Much, but it’s also very interesting to imagine Dave and Linda of all characters joining in the time travel shenanigans! It truly is kinda a shame they’re not utilized terribly much, but then, until this letter and a few more recent tangent thoughts, I hadn’t either! So who’s to say.
And as somehow, like, the finisher, despite being so mundane in comparison, I wanna point out Marty writing lowercase m for mom but uppercase D for dad. Like! He wrote a big M for his own name and their surname and Marlene, so it’s not even just how he writes them, he really did just give their dad the uppercase D the whole time and their mom got the lowercase m! I have no idea what this might mean if anything I just think it’s a funky little detail that just. Stuck out!
THAT’S IT THOSE ARE ALL MY RAMBLES ABOUT THIS LETTER
Actually I might be lying, there could be more. But this is already SO long so I’m taking mercy on you all. This letter is just. It’s making my brain EXPLODE if anybody reading this also has thoughts shout them at me just go OFF I will enjoy it greatly and maybe even continue shouting along with you.
UHHH the rest of the box I’ll discuss later! I have no idea how to end a post :)
#back to the future#bttf#marty mcfly#sorry to everyone who has to scroll past this haha#Sparx thanks for bringing this letter to my attention because I had NO CLUE about it

chemistry killer
the BAU gets called in for a series of murders happening in Brooklyn, New York. when they arrive at the police precinct, they are met with an odd set of detectives, some more excited about their arrival than the others. and what is is about dr. spencer reid that fascinates detective jake peralta so much?
a/n: i’m just gonna be honest, i usually don’t like crossover fics, but i thought of this and i just had to write it because the bau team and the nine-nine squad meeting? amazing. this is probably going to be long with multiple chapters so this is only the first part. i promise it will get more interesting! also, this is alternatively titled: jake has a crush on a fbi nerd but everyone including himself is clueless
please leave some feedback if you liked it (or didn’t like it that’s good too)
Everyone in the Behavioral Analysis Unit was finishing up paperwork from prior cases and getting ready to go home. That was, until Garcia walked into the bullpen. Holding up her phone, she clarified: "Sorry my dear crime fighters, I just got a text; we have a case."
The others in the room groaned. "We just got back from Florida, please tell me it isn't Florida again", JJ said, throwing her head back in frustration.
"It is not, follow me", Garcia replied as she walked up the stairs leading to the briefing room. The others closed their files and followed her example not long thereafter.
When all the agents had taken a chair at the round table, Garcia picked up the remote and started the briefing. She frowned in disgust of the pictures that showed up on the screen. "This morning an unidentified body was found in a dumpster in Brooklyn, New York."
Reid leaned forward, "just one body? Why did they call us in?"
"Oh sweet boy wonder," Garcia shook her head, "you didn't let me finish. Two weeks ago the remains of Gerald Reynolds were discovered in an alley, just four blocks from the dumpster one." More photos appeared on the monitor. "And a week after that, the lifeless body of Ethel Hall, also in an alley behind a dumpster. That makes three."
"The local police department contacted us, so we're heading there now. Wheels up in thirty", Hotch said. The other members of the team closed their tablets - Reid his paper file -, and started packing their stuff.
---
"The FBI? You mean that the actual federal bureau of investigation is taking over our case?", detective Peralta half-yelled, "I'm not sure whether this super awesome or worse than the Vulture."
"Yes. There have been three murders, which classifies as serial. That means we have the contact the FBI. Their behavioral analysis unit is flying over here as we speak. You will be working together closely", captain Holt stated matter-of-factly. "Please treat them with respect, they are the best at what they do."
Peralta scoffed, "we can solve this case by ourselves, we don't need some federal jerks to come run this place, right?"
Silence.
"We have no physical evidence, no witnesses, no suspects and no leads. Admit it, there is a serial killer on the loose and we are nowhere near solving it. Let the Feds do what they gotta", Diaz said to him before returning to her desk.
Peralta sighed and let himself fall back in his office chair. He couldn't handle the fact that there were cases he couldn't solve and that outsiders were going to step in. But, on the other hand, it is kind of amazing to get to work with the FBI. What would they look like? Are they all in a full suit with a tie and cool-looking sunglasses, like in movies? That would be epic, Peralta thought to himself.
A couple of hours later the elevator dinged, and revealed six people slightly crammed in there. The first man to step out was, in fact, wearing a suit. Behind him were three more men and two women, not in suits, but still intimidating. Captain Holt walked out of his office to introduce himself. "You must be from the behavioral analysis unit, I'm captain Raymond Holt, welcome."
"Yes, I believe we spoke over the phone. Aaron Hotchner", the suit said, "this is my team: SSA's David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, Jennifer Jareau and dr. Spencer Reid." They all shook hands with Holt, except for dr. Reid, which earned him an odd glance. The agent waved as a form of greeting, giving the captain a sort of apologetic look.
Holt nodded, "You'll be working with our squad; sergeant Terry Jeffords and detectives Jake Peralta, Amy Santiago, Charles Boyle and Rosa Diaz. You can set up in the meeting room over there."
"Thank you." Agent Hotchner turned around to face his own team, "Morgan, I want you to go to the M.E. and see what they have to say about the cause of death. Reid, I want you to start with the geographical profile and go over possible suspects together with JJ. Prentiss and I will go to the latest crime scene. And, Dave, if you could go back to the second dump site, maybe it could tell us more about the unsub."
"You might want one of my detectives to assist you, they know the way around here", Captain Holt said. "Diaz, Santiago, Boyle, please", he ordered them over.
Agent Hotchner shook hands with Diaz, who was assigned to him and agent Prentiss, "I appreciate that, thank you."
The FBI agents and their assigned detectives exited the building, leaving dr. Reid and JJ behind. The two walked over to the meeting room, where multiple whiteboards were set up.
Peralta stood up out of his chair, "what about me? Why are you giving all the others the cool tasks?" Motioning towards the meeting room, Holt replied, "you can assist them."
"I'm not gonna sit there listening to them talking when I could be out there solving the case", Jake sighed. His captain stared at him, "Peralta, go over there. That is an order."
Groaning, the detective made his way to the table on which the two agents where sitting. The male said something to the female before standing up and grabbing a marker. He drew something on the map pinned to a board, and pointed at it while turning back to his partner.
"Wow, what's all that?", Peralta asked in reference to the multicolored arrows on the map. "The locations where the three victims were found and where they were last seen. I'm putting together a geographical profile based on those factors. Which means that the unsub probably works or lives in this area", the male agent said as he pointed to the triangle he had drawn.
Jake frowned, "unsub?"
"Unknown subject. It's what we call the offender", the man clarified.
The female turned her attention to Jake, "you're detective Peralta, right? I'm SSA Jennifer Jareau."
Jake took the hand she stuck out, "yes, Jake Peralta it is. Nice to meet you." He went to shake the male agent's hand too, but didn't get much movement in response. "I have a... eh, germ thing. Sorry. Dr. Spencer Reid", the man introduced himself.
"Cool cool coolcoolcool", Jake paused, "so, um, is there something I can do for you?"
"Actually, yes", agent Jareau said, "based on the sophistication of the crimes, we think this isn't the unsub's first time doing this. He might not have killed before, but he has probably been arrested at some point, for smaller offences like animal torture, abuse or even arson. We need all of your arrest files on those types of crimes, going back at least five years."
"Uh, sure. I'll get you a computer and a log-in code for the system"
"Actually," agent Reid said as Jake was about to leave the room, "I would like to have the paper files."
Jake was a little confused, "are you sure? There are like, hundreds of those. It would take days to get through every single one."
Agent Jareau smiled at him, "trust me, detective, it won't be a problem."
"Okay, okay, okay. You might need to help me carry all of them though."
JJ left with Jake to get the files while Reid stayed behind to work on the profile. About twenty minutes later they were on their fourth time walking back with a stack of files in their arms. In the briefing room dr. Reid was sat behind the piles of paper, flipping through them one by one. Jake put his stack next to the others. "We're almost finished, just a couple of boxes left to go through now", he told the FBI agent. He didn't get a reaction and Jake wondered if Reid had even heard what he said.
Another stroll to the archive room and dozens of files later, Jake sat down on the corner of the desk on which all the paper was lying.
JJ walked in holding another stack, "there only a couple left back there now."
When Jake made an effort to stand up, she stopped him with a friendly smile, "I'll get them."
The detective raised an eyebrow at her, but she had already left the room. Jake decided to take a chair next to agent Reid, who was still going trough the files at an incredibly high speed. "No offence, but, are you even reading the words?", he asked.
"I am. I can read 20,000 words per minute. It's a method called speed reading where you use scanning and meta guiding to get through the text faster. Scanning is the process where one actively looks for information by organizing information in a visually hierarchical manner that showcases the interrelatedness of the information for better retrievability-", Reid replied, without removing his eyes from the paper once. "- I think I got something."
Jake blinked, surprised by the sudden amount of words spoken, "I've know idea what any of that was what you just said, but that doesn't matter. Show me what you got! -Wait, no", he bit his lip and shook his head, "that sounds wrong. never mind. What did you find?"
Reid seemed unbothered by the other man's comment and slid the file slightly in Jake's direction. He started explained his theory and how the suspect's backstory fit exactly into the preliminary profile they had. After a couple of sentences he began to use terms too complicated for Jake to understand and thus he trailed off. So, Jake let his eyes wander over to take a good look at the agent. Dr. Reid was tall and pretty skinny, which made him appear even taller than he already was. His hands were constantly moving while he was talking, but seemingly without any clear purpose. Speaking of his hands, he had long, elegant fingers that caught Jake's attention when Spencer traced a line on the map. His way of dressing was kind of odd, though. Jake would probably describe it as 'grandpa style', mostly because of the cardigan. The FBI agent was still talking and didn't detect that the other person in the room wasn't listening at all. In the waving of limbs, Jake noticed that Reid wore his watch over his sleeve.
Agent Jareau's entrance made him snap back into reality. "I got the last files. Did you find something?", she asked.
"Actually, yes", dr. Reid began, "I think we need to call Hotch about this. Look."
JJ took the paper Reid handed her and while she was reading it, her eyes widened. She took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hotch, it's me. Yeah, Reid might've found something. Guy tortured animals almost in the exact same way as the bodies."
Even though he hadn't been paying much attention before, detective Peralta now was curious to see what this was all about. He picked up the file that JJ had put back on the table, flipped through the pages, and immediately regretted it. At the sight of mutilated pets he scrunched up his face and quickly threw the papers away. Dr. Reid noticed and shot him a puzzled glance.
Agent Jareau, who was still on the phone, turned herself to her partner, "call Garcia, we need to know everything there is on this guy."
Reid nodded and got his phone out of his pocket. An old Nokia. Now it was Jake's turn to shoot a glance, who uses those things these days?
"Hey Garcia, I'm gonna put you on speaker, hang on."
Reid's slender fingers clumsily pushed some buttons and he set the phone down on the table. A female voice spoke, "this is the oracle of miracles speaking, talk to me."
"Find out everything you can about a Rob Carrier, he might be the unsub", dr. Reid said.
A faint tapping of keys could be heard from the other side of the line. "Searching... Found it! Robert F. Carrier, born on November 23rd 1987. Works as a janitor at the Feldman Chemistry lab. Was arrested for, oh god, animal torture and has a juvie record for beating up his classmate because, quote "the turd", unquote, stole a pencil from him."
Jake snorted at the choice of words, which caused the others to give him a disapproving look. Spencer turned his attention back to the phone, "did you said Feldman Chemistry? The second victim worked there."
"You're right, Ethel Hall, one of the lead chemist in the lab. She has been working there for twenty years now, recently got another promotion", Garcia said.
"That's a connection and motive. Garcia, can you send us Carrier's-"
"Adress? Yes, already done. Sent it to the others too", she interrupted Reid. "Be safe, babies. Penelope Garcia out." There was a click; Garcia had hung up.
JJ picked her jacket up from the chair it was thrown over and said, "Hotch and Prentiss got quite something out of the dump site, but they can brief us over the phone. We will meet them at Carrier's house, let's go."
