happy (by present-day standards) one hundred and fourth birthday to this old man right here!

i've never really nailed down a proper time for when i have doc's post-trilogy canon happening, it's always just x date post return to his present with the family. so i've been thinking about it and i needed something solid (for myself at least) to play off of with headcanons, with setting details, all that fun stuff.

so i think i'm leaning towards '87 or later. (of course this is all subject to change with whatever happens in a thread - i'm still totally open for him being wherever, whenever in his timeline).

so if his main default verse is set around 1987 or so, he's turning (chronologically) seventy-seven. officially, as far as the records are concerned, he's only sixty-seven this year.

#his damn timeline makes things so tricky fjasl;dkfj fucking time-travellers...#gotta love temporal maths #i figured '87 was a solid pick for a reference point for just general post-trilogy things #where i'll stick anything that has no prior established place in the timeline #i love the family too much to not keep them canon and i like the idea of them being there for a minute and acclimatising to doc's present #and i want some solid established things for them - the house - the boys at school - marty and jen either marrying or marriage is #on the horizon: just real tangible stuff to reference #but the number doesn't really matter anyway and it's gonna change based on everyone and whatever time period the interaction #takes place in anyway SO #&; there's something about that one 「 ooc 」#doc - beloved #your family has plans for you doc they refuse to let the day go by without any kind of celebration
