mcfly july 2024 || 🌲 || day 2 "Something very familiar about all this"

When Seamus saw Clint Eastwood to their barn for the night, he prayed for their guest’s health and gave thanks for the opportunity to share their blessings.

He did not interrogate God, much as he wanted to; why do you torment me with my brother’s face? What are you trying to tell me? 

When Seamus left the festival, he prayed for Mr. Eastwood’s guidance and gave thanks for that pie tin.

But when Mr. Eastwood caught that gun at the end of the bar, Buford Tannen billowing at the door, the only prayer Seamus could muster was: Not again.

Please.

Into Steady Emotion

McFly July Day 4 - Backyard Cookout

The McFly and Brown families gather for a Fourth of July cookout, and Marty is still in the process of adjusting to the new timeline. But he's finally beginning to accept it.

[arumidden]

It’s the final day of McFly July! Today is the two Pepsi Free writes. I did one angsty one and one happy one, to end on a high note.

I’m sad the month is over! I’ve had so much fun! Happy McFly July, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. I’ve absolutely adored being immersed in this franchise for an entire month.

I’m gonna try and keep up my new habit of writing at least once every day and get back to work on my other BTTF fic, Time is Just a Place. Wish me luck!

McFly July Days 6-8

[freevoidman]

McFly July 16 🌲🌲- Synchronicity

Synchronicity [noun]: the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. Marty wondered if playing that arcade game in Cafe 80s was a sign.

Back in his Hill Valley, Marty was a wiz at the arcade. He’d go out with the band some weekends and played with the goal of getting his initials on every cabinet’s high score read-out. Sometimes he didn’t have a lot of money for tokens, so he went all-in with each attempt. Paul could get to the end of Donkey Kong without blinking, Bobby always beat him at the Space Invaders, and Lee was insane at Pac-Man. Marty saw him break the game by going for so long it just couldn’t handle it.

Marty’s game of choice? Wild Gunman.

He didn’t know why his reaction time was so insane, but it extended way beyond video games. He could turn on a dime and take off running in less than a second, and he knew how to recognize the sound of the garage door opening and race to his room in less than a minute. All that Wild Gunman did was actually time just how good Marty’s reflexes were.

When he saw the cabinet for Wild Gunman in Cafe 80s, he had to give it a go. He thought the kids would be impressed—look at this guy, taking out three cowboys in less than two seconds!—only for them to be annoyed that the game had to be played with their hands. Tough luck, Marty thought. They were young. They just couldn’t appreciate the pure skill that had been put on display.

Now, though, Marty was standing in 1885 (a different 80s from the futuristic cafe, but an 80s all the same) holding a very real, very heavy, insanely deadly gun, and the idea of playing Wild Gunman barely a day ago made his gut twist.

Marty had never held a real gun before. He’d seen them, sure. He’d watched The Godfather and Dirty Harry too many times to count. He’d even had a gun pointed at him by Biff in that alternate 1985. But holding one—a real, live gun—was different. He could feel the handle digging into his palm, hear the chamber spin as it was reloaded for him. The bang as he pulled the trigger and hit a distant target made him flinch, and the gun nearly flew out of his hands from the recoil.

Buford Tannen wanted a duel. Marty knew he had the reaction time to probably hit him dead on, if Wild Gunman was any indication. He even had the aim, if that shot put into the target wasn’t beginner’s luck.

Maybe that last game in the cafe was a sign—predestination or something’ like that. Marty’d never been a religious guy, but it’s hard to see point A leading to point B and not think something greater was at play. He really hoped it wasn’t, because as shitty as Buford Tannen was, Marty dreaded being the one to pull that trigger.

"I'll only post the first prompt for day 16 because I got that done ahead of time" wow look at past me being a liar and getting this written TODAY even though I'm trying to do the older prompts to catch up. Ah well, it's one more thing written and done lol.

[arumidden]

you’re flabbergasted? *I’m* flabbergasted. I wrote an average of almost 700 words a day. I usually write that in a week, I’m such a slowpoke.

this was incredibly fun, and I hope everyone else enjoyed it too!

✨Last Day of McFly July!!✨

🎸⚡️AH! Thank you to everyone who took part in McFly July this year!!! 🕰️⚡️

Is it just me, or is this community getting more skillful and creative than ever? I found myself invested in everyone's fics and art this month in a way that blew away all Julys before. And your dedication! What!!!

BIG shoutout to: @arumidden @daryfromthefuture @bg-sparrow (and @bgsbracelets) @pinwheel-plant @moonlightandstarshimmer and @doctorbrown

for completing every single day's prompt--and this year there were DOUBLE the prompts, so you get DOUBLE the acclaim!!! Like are you kidding me? That's 62 pieces of fanart or fanfic from each of you. ARE YOU KIDDING?

I am flabbergasted and overjoyed with the support and love and hours of time and hard work you all have put into this project. Whether you participated one day, three days, or the whole month, I am so grateful to have you here and I hope you had fun! 🧡

If you weren't able to complete all the prompts you wanted to, you are not alone! Some folks will be working through them in August. I’ll keep an eye out in the #mcflyjuly tag for you!!

Until next year! 🌲🌲

text version:

11/05/84

Since this notebook is meant to be an outlet, I might as well just say it as it is: Thinks have been…less than ideal at home lately.

Mom has relapsed on drinking a few months ago, and while - in all honesty - that came as no surprise to any of us, I’m still upset. I know she’s unhappy, and that Dad’s unhappy, and that they’re likely only staying together for my sake (Dave and Linda are already adults and distance themselves from Mom and Dad anyway) or that Mom is simply nostalgic for that time when they were freshly in love at that “Enchantment under the Sea”-dance.

Regardless, I feel pretty low in that kind of environment, and that’s probably really selfish. I talked to Doc about this and he assured me that it’s not selfish at all, but I’m not sure whether I believe him or not.

I probably should, because it’s - well, it's Doc, and the probability that he’s gonna talk nonsense is basically zero. But I’m too conflicted.

Doc’s great, though- I was super down after rambling to him about my family matters, and so he made me watch “A Fistful Of Dollars” with Clint Eastwood, which he had rented in the video rental close to town square specifically to show me. Then it was his turn to talk my ear off about how much he loved the Old West. I’m lucky to have a friend like him, so much is for certain.

“Hey, Mom, have you ever heard of a TV show called The Manhattan Project?”

Lorraine bent her brow as she took the meatloaf out of the oven.

“A TV show? No, I don’t think so.”

“Why can’t I find anyone who knows about this show?”

“What’s it about?”

“I don’t know,” Marty said, leaning on the bar. “I just remembered Doc said he was on it when we first met and thought I’d get a laugh.”

Lorraine almost dropped the meatloaf.

“What?”

“Crazy, right? I can’t imagine Doc on TV, either.”

“Marty, the Manhattan Project was not a TV show.”

Video Rental

Nothing says 1980s quite like renting a VHS tape on the weekends! How many people do you think saw BttF for the first time that way? This bracelet evokes all the loud colors of the 80s, and you won’t find a better example of them than at the video store (except maybe the roller rink)!

Available in 2 sizes! A. Type: Euro || Metal: Silver || Weight: 1.0 oz || Beaded Length: 7.00" B. Type: Euro || Metal: Silver || Weight: 0.8 oz || Beaded Length: 5.00"

Title: Shattered Dream Fandom: Back to the Future Rating: K+ Summary: [AU for AU Roulette & McFly July] In 1945, Doc was so jaded by what he'd done in the Manhattan Project, that he vowed to turn away from science for good. Nearly 40 years later, an aspiring, stubborn guitarist has Doc regretting abandoning his dream to pioneer time travel.

I Want The Good Times Back

Day 20 - Local Legend

Tiffany ruminates on her lasting hatred towards the McFly family (and her obsession with their youngest son) before witnessing a sight that no one would believe-- a flying DeLorean.

And thirty years later, she has a chance to set things back in her-- I mean, her family's favor.
