When you learn that this guy from Biff's gang in Back to the Future 3...

Is this guy from The Umbrella Academy...

Well, the possibilities are endless 👌

Yo

You got any headcanons on how Doc n' Clara court or how their love language works or-or-

how their wedding went??

(haha I am so normal abt these two scrunklies)

*pulls out "until i get home"* okay, let's see what my 15-year old self wrote about them

let me split this up a little.

love language:

i like to think that while they are affectionate, they're not much into physical touch. both doc and clara prefer deep conversations about their interests or about each other over any kind of physical contact, and they're super fine with it

doc showers clara with gifts related to her interests, including science, because this is simply the first time he ever felt truly understood with his passions (sorry marty)

clara, on the other hand, loves fo spoil doc with homemade food (especially after learning that all the man ever ate were burgers and fries)

they enjoy going to cultural events and buildings together, like museum or exhibits or theaters

clara also loves that doc is super good with children (even though the guy claims otherwise). however, thay always split their time with their kids equally - and clara lets doc spend plenty of time with his oldest child ;)

their favorite type of dates ate stargazing dates, going horse riding or just spending time at home together

wedding:

i like to think that it was a small wedding. maggie and seamus were invited, as well as william, because they did welcome kids at their wedding

they probably spent their honeymoon somewhere in nature, if they had one at all. hill valley is also nice for stargazing

they did have a cool cake though

they're also not very traditional, so they may have skipped some wedding traditions that were considered a must at that time (earning disapproving gazes from clara's parents)

thanks so much for the ask!!

You've heard of "George and Doc are friends in the new post-trilogy timeline because George is a sci-fi writer and Doc is a scientist". Now, get ready for "George and Clara are friends in the new post-trilogy timeline because George's stories take place in space and Clara is an astronomer".

[aceofthyme]

this is something that has been in my mind for a hot second so I’m sharing it with the class but

I feel like Doc Brown would not like jello

Maybe this is just me projecting? But like. I feel like he’d play with it, maybe, but not eat it. I would love to hear people’s opinions on this, please, let me know if you agree or not

[rose-of-pollux]

🕰️, ✒️, 👀, ❓, and ⏲️!

Thank you!!

🕰️If you were to insert yourself into the trilogy, what year would you come from? My own time, honestly; it'd be an interesting juxtaposition to Doc's vision of the 21st Century and different situations for Doc and Marty to navigate

✒️You are hired to write/draw a new bttf comic, and it can be about whatever you want. what in the bttf universe would you want to expand on? In an answer that will surprise no one, the continuation of the musical timeline; as the Tropes page for the musical pointed out, the exact events of part II (and by extension, pt III) can't happen since Doc's voice activation lock means that Biff won't be able to steal the DeLorean and create the 1985A timeline like he did in the movie. That being said, there are plenty of other shenanigans for Doc and Marty to get into, and I'm sure they'd end up in 1885 some other way, resulting in Clara coming back with them to 1985.

👀Share a random headcanon you have about your favorite character! Doc, especially musical!Doc is very asexual. Movie!Doc can be considered demisexual with how he fell head over heels for Clara and no one else, but musical!Doc, I feel, is so asexual that he wouldn't have fallen for Clara that quickly, but does bring her back with him and Marty to 1985, and their relationship progresses at a much, much slower rate, with Doc having no clue how to go about having a relationship and Marty gleefully getting to throw Doc's previous "interact in a socially significant situation" bit right back at him (probably with a reprise of "Put Your Mind to It").

❓What is one question you would love to ask Bob Gale? Was musical!Doc's ace-coding intentional or just a happy accident? (According to the Making Of book, Roger also got a lot of say in Doc's portrayal so I'm wondering was that possibly his doing, too. *happy ace flailing*)

⏲️What time period would you want Marty to travel to and what would you want him to do? For fun or for something serious? I really, really would love to see Marty go back in time to the 30s again and go on a McGuffin retrieval quest with Indiana Jones. Both 80s Doc and 30s Emmett are involved in some capacity (with 80s Doc desperately trying to stay out of his past self's way because paradoxes). Could also lead to something full-circle with 1969 Lone Pine Doc assisting Indy with the Dial of Destiny and all that time-travel stuff, and Indy trying to wrap his brain around the fact that the one-year-old that Doc is babysitting for the McFlys is, in fact, the same young man who was running around in the 30s helping him out.

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!”

Headcanon idea:

Marty goes over to Doc's whenever it thunderstorms. Not for a long time, just enough to check up on him. More specifically, to see if he's still there. Idk sounded cool to me B]

[mundancheemudomo]

Okay but imagine among all those clocks, some are Marty's gifts, and each time he gift a new one to Doc, he thinks 'Jeez, i should had a more original ide-'

'Oh, Marty this is amazing !! This clock looks wonderful, thank you!!!'

[constablequodo]

Share your back to the future hcs i beg of you

Alright!! Here we gooo:

Marty is transmasc, and his parents don't really care if he is or isn't that much. Doc finds out one day and is absolutely ecstatic to support Marty and asks him questions about it.

Marty and Doc are both autistic and equally socially awkward. Marty has learned to mask, but tends to unmask a bit more around Doc

If Doc could, he would absolutely adopt Marty at the first chance he gets. He doesn't tend to admit it, but Marty is absolutely like a son to him.

George Mcfly is fucking autistic and I genuinely think this is almost canon.

Marty is a sci-fi fan cause that's all George ever used to watch. Doc is also a sci-fi fan and ended up infodumping to Marty about Star Trek once while they were working.

Marty definitely thinks Kirk and Spock were gay./hj

When Marty was younger, he climbed out of his window once and ran all the way to Doc's after an argument with his parents. Doc was awake, thankfully, and they both sorta just chilled out and talked till they fell asleep.

Doc never sleeps. Like. Ever. Marty doesn't know how the man still functions

Marty TRIES to stay up late, but ends up passing out at about midnight (unless he's had coffee or something)

Einstein LOVES Marty. I mean, I'm pretty sure he loves everyone, but if he was sitting in a room with people, he'd go over to Marty to lay on him.

Doc almost never gets sick and is surprisingly strong for a 71 year old (especially after the rejuvenation in part 2).

When Marty gets sick, he refuses to acknowledge it. It becomes a real issue sometimes.

Marty has fallen asleep in Doc's garage more than he'd like to admit.

Doc definitely bit people as a kid/hj

Marty will defend Doc with his LIFE. He constantly combatted the rumours about Doc around the school and always tried his best to let everyone know Doc was actually a great guy.

Twin pines timeline George and Lorraine didn't give a shit that Marty was with a man deemed to be literally insane and disgraced by the town , but Lone pine timeline Lorraine and George met Doc at some point and like him somewhat.

Doc is terrified of cats, but Clara LOVES them. He was hoping that when they got a cat, Einstein would chase it away or constantly bark at it enough that it just left.....Einstein loves the cat.

Jules and Verne absolutely adore Marty and see him as a big brother. Marty loves them just as equally.

Hope you enjoyed it!! Sorry, it was kinda short 😅

I know most of these wete about Doc and Marty, but I just love their friendship so much

mcfly july 2024 || 🌲🌲 || day 18 "Roll With Me, Henry"

Tough guys like Biff Tannen needed tossed in the trenches with a few near misses and a gangrene scare. 

That’s what set Lou straight when he was a punk kid.

And Biff was a terrible influence on his nephew.

“You gotta get that boy enlisted,” Lou told his kid sister. “He’s not hanging with a good crowd, Nance.”

“Lou, you know he hasn’t been the same since his father died.”

Lou sighed. Guiltily glanced at the Medal of Honor framed next to his brother-in-law’s photograph on the mantle. 

JUNE 6, 1944

McFly July Day 16!

“Synchronicity” and “Paradox”

[daryfromthefuture]

inspired by other headcanon lists, i finally decided to make my own!! since i am ridiculously bored right now it ended up being. long. but i'm glad i finally got all my thoughts into one place :D enjoy!!

[nopinestimeline]

No Pines Marty Lore

Plays the drums, not the guitar

Leather jacket, not denim

He bullies Needles

Drinks regular Coca-Cola. You heard me.

Smokes Winston cigarettes

Fist bumps Biff whenever he sees him

He's not dating Jennifer. He catcalls Jennifer all the time at school, but she scoffs at this crude ruffian because she's still the Jennifer we know and love.

Even though he calls the Libyans to tell them where Doc will be the night of the DeLorean reveal, they totally betray him and start shooting at him, too, which leads us to the spectacular adventure of No Pines Marty in 1955 trying to rescue the crackpot scientist he just sold out to terrorists.

He is having a blast in 1985A

He's so flippant and nonchalant about how despicable he is but he doesn't brag/ boast/ egg people on like Needles does. You stay away from him, and he'll probably stay away from you unless he gets inspired.

I don't even know what would happen in the Old West. I don't even think he'd go back, but Doc somehow tricks him into it? Then, when he's there, he squares up to Buford immediately. And then he's somehow invited to join the gang? IDK.

Clara totally slaps him at one point

That's all for now, folks!

Cringe isn’t a thing I’m currently hyperfixating on bttf but also PAW patrol…

Marty and Doc in PAW patrol. I have three ideas.

1: Doc’s just…doc (obviously his character would be dumbed down a bit because I mean my nine year old sister can’t even understand bttf lol) and Marty’s his pup companion. Think Jake and Everest, Carlos and Tracker. They still do science stuff and are close companions to Ryder and the pups.

2: the same thing, but Einstein is the pup companion and this time Marty is a human alongside doc!!! I can’t think of a time when there’s been a pup with two owners in the show so this would be interesting!

3: Marty and Doc are both pups. Well, dogs. Doc’s a fully grown dog which again, we haven’t seen any adult dogs in the series so far so this would be cool!!!

In all versions, they’re involved with science and would help invent new things for the PAW patrol. Also Pup!Marty would defo skateboard and I’m thinking his vehicle would either be his truck or the delorean..perhaps time travel could come into the picture?

Please vote on the poll which version you like best, and feel free to help me with this au sort of thing!
