MCFLY JULY ‘24 — lite beer.

JUNE 3, 1989, 2:04 PM

“We’re gonna throw a rager for you, McFly,” It’s the end of practice and Mike’s grinning, a look that Marty knows from pretty much a lifetime of experience only means trouble. 

“You’re not gonna know what hit ya!” Jake laughs, pulling him in for a one-armed hug and ruffling his hair. “Our fearless leader is finally gonna be able to get wasted with the rest of us.” 

“C’mon, I’m not that much younger than you guys,” Marty protests. “Anyway, I’m happy just goin’ up to the lake again this year.”

“Be bold, Marty!” Jake encourages. “You only turn 21 once! Plus, when the record comes out next month, you’re gonna have to be ready for all the best parties.”

“Yeah, but–”

“If Marty wants to go to the lake, we’ll go to the lake,” Scotty says definitively, offering Marty a reassuring smile. “Now, let’s try it one more time from the top.” 

There’s a mischievous look in Mike and Jake’s eyes that proves that this conversation definitely isn’t over. 

JUNE 3, 1989, 4:07 PM

“Hey, Doc?” Marty calls, kicking up his skateboard and tucking it under his arm as he walks into the Clayton-Brown household. “I know chemistry isn’t really your thing, but is there any way we can make a compound that looks and smells like alcohol but isn’t? Or one that makes something alcoholic non-alcoholic?... Maybe by next Saturday?” 

He hesitates, looking at @doctorbrown . 

“I think the guys are planning something big for my birthday,” he tells him, rubbing the back of his neck. “Which is great, but… I don’t wanna drink and I don’t really know how to tell ‘em. I think Scotty gets it, but Mike and Jake…”

He remembers all too well, even though it’s from another life, another world, a place that doesn’t even exist anymore. He remembers the stench of wine, like rotting fruit, on his mother’s breath, her pouring vodka into her favorite glass as soon as the clock hit the midafternoon. Her constant insistence that she didn’t have a problem even though Marty could see it, plain as day, and he begged her to lay off a little. Him trying to stay out as late as possible whenever they were out as a family so that she would stay sober for just a couple more hours. He remembers half-lidded eyes, her dropping off to sleep after dinner, being worried whenever she mixed painkillers with her drinks before bed that she might not wake up.

More than anything, he remembers his promise to himself that he’d never end up like that. Ever.

“... I guess I’m not makin’ any sense, huh?” Marty sighs. “I know the stuff with my mom back home didn’t happen here… but it did happen. It was real, even if it’s not anymore.”

Thanks for the tag! I only joined to fandom in September, so I haven't been here or done anything for to long haha

Also @cheriboms thanks for the tag as well, I was already working on this reblog when you tagged me whoops.

1. Twice....I swear TV never shows it- *starts crying*

2. No, but I want some!

3. I am not a fan of 90 percent of soda, including Pepsi! Nor do I like sugar free stuff...

4. 'Cause I Might Not Make It Back

Look, guys. I love the amnesia trope. Young Emmett and Marty is amazing. This is two birds with one stone.

5. YOU WANT ME TO DECIDE?????

Okay, for humor reasons:

For content reasons:

For awesome looking reasons:

6. Yes sir! I have several incomplete/abandoned fanfics so the only one I've posted is Doctober 2023, but I learned so much from that!

As for art I have done several, but my favorite one has to be this:

7. Zero times 😎

8. Uhhh, see I never recognize actors so if I did I didn't know lol

9. Ok so we got a new car and we were testing it's Bluetooth and we used my playlist. Power of Love came on and Dad was like "Huey Lewis? Wow." And I was just like "I have some random things on here-" ;-;

10. Idk, I don't count that haha, but def a good amount. But I did just fall yesterday on top of my cousin hehe.

11. So I didn't GO see it cause it's across the country. However I found an uhm...another way to watch it.

Needless to say AAAAAAAA ITS AMAZING! All of Marty's little quirks are there and hilarious! Little details about his and Doc's friendship are so adorable! Everyone plays their character perfectly! Awesome songs! 10/10!

12. Funny thing. This question made me realize I have no clue how my parents met. I know they met in collage...and that's it. Whoops.

13. "Silence, Earthling!"

14. Run in the rain- Yes! Marching season overlaps monsoon season so once or twice we were forced to run with our instruments in a panic out of the rain (because there's lightning near and we need to get back inside)

Pull an all nighter- Literally pulled my first all nighter 2 days ago! Me and my cousins swore we wouldn't sleep. The youngest failed at 4 but me and the oldest made it past sunrise at 7 am. She then literally passed out and I got bored so I went to sleep for 3 hours.

Read Science Fiction- Yup!

Drive thru Burger King- Didn't do drive thru, but walked in. Fun story, me and my friends just came back from a comic-con so we all walked in full cosplay! We gave the employees a laugh, especially when the one dressed as Michel Myers came in first with no context haha.

15. I dunno! I have a lot of things ahead of me, but I'm trying not to stress too hard. I'm just going to go with the flow.

Not gonna tag anyone here as a lot have already done this and I'm doing this last minute. But if you want to do it, go right ahead!
