bttf swap au! :] (au stuff under the cut)

— basically an au where the tannens and mcflys swap places in hill valley society

— started in the 1800s (eg martin defeats buford in a duel, things ensue) when the mcflys dethrone the tannens as the Guys Who Run The Town

— mcflys are rich (many businesses) + have a lot of power in the town, but their personalities r mostly the same

— 1955 george has ppl follow him around to get on his good side (like frost (slick) and 2-D (3-D)) but he just wants to be left alone; he’s still awkward and a loser but when he’s mad the Inner Rich Kid comes out

— biff and the tannens want to reclaim their status, but nobody takes them seriously anymore

— doc is actually a beloved member of the town!! yay!! (he babysat george in the late ‘30s—40s so arthur considers him Part Of The Family—when the brown mansion ‘’burnt down’’ he decided to finance doc’s projects himself)

— lorraine keeps to herself mostly, and is Very obsessed with fantasy novels (she wants to ride a dragon and She Should!!)

— ill probably write more abt the 80s mcflys later 🫡

I am once again pondering the fact that Marty McFly is just such a fantastic character. Like, especially when you look at other male protagonists in the 80s, they all follow a similar trend. A lot are uber cool and suave, with the added side effect of also being a jerk. Many are popular jocks or whatever. Big flirts. Edgy and troubled or sleazy, etc.

And Marty is sort of in his own category entirely. He's cool, but he's not? He skateboards and kills it on guitar but has 2 whole friends--his girlfriend and a disgraced scientist--and crippling self-doubt and can't go a day without falling down or tripping over his own feet or nearly being killed by a car.

He's polite. He's respectful. Won't let anyone mess with the people he loves and doesn't let a moment pass by where he can thank somebody or apologize for a wrongdoing. (seriously, Marty has beautiful manners. Like, it is quite noticeable how often he says, "please," "thank you," "excuse me," or "sorry".)

His emotions are all SO BIG and he doesn't hold back on them. He gets all animated when he's excited and yells when he's scared and cries when he's sad and pulls his friend into big ol' hugs.

He literally never knows what is going on. Marty exists in the constant state of confusion. Between asking Doc to "wait a minute" every other sentence and his ever-changing, scattered thoughts, Marty is just out there trying to survive. Just slow it down, alright? He's a smart guy, but he's also got elevator music playing in his head. Really really fast elevator music.

Time means nothing to him. His watch is broken. He's racking up tardies like it's nobody's business. Stopping by the garage to look for Doc and play some guitar when he should be at school. He's got to get out of that stupid suit RIGHT THIS INSTANT even though he's got one shot at the lightning strike at the clock tower.

Marty just. Does things. There is zero impulse control. A synapse fires and Marty's brain goes "!!!" and that's that. Punch the bully who's twice your size, buy that sports almanac, just Walk Away while Doc is talking to you. Buy that sweet leather jacket. Ignore ALL instructions you're given! Marty, you need constant supervision and I love you for that.

He's just. Marty is the most character. Look at him.

They really knocked it out of the park with this guy.
