now if they asked ME to write the bttf sequel, i'd focus in on good timeline marty (we'll call him martin for clarity) going back to the past, not messing with anything and just returning safely, and when he gets back home his family is all depressed . the bad timeline doesn't cease to exist, but the two versions of marty swap places . and now martin is suddenly in a shitty situation and doc is dead and he doesn't understand why. but they didn't ask me.
but they should have because i made a million drawings about it and rambled about it under the cut.
i'm really hoping and praying this makes sense to literally anyone but me. i didn't draw literally every little plot point, just some i thought were interesting. i'll try to explain as best i can.
(also, disclaimer just to make myself feel better: this seems like a rather obvious au to explore and it has probably been explored many times before, but i've barely engaged with any bttf fandom content nor have i looked into any of the canon supplemental materials (games, comics, etc). so if this has been covered already... oops! i still hope i can bring some unique concepts to the table...?!)
baseline information you need to know: the protagonist of this au is the marty (martin) we see very briefly at the end of the first film, who ORIGINATES from the lone pine/"good" universe.
i'm operating under the assumption that (canon) marty's time in the past SPLIT the world into two timelines. the world we see at the beginning of the first film doesn't just cease to exist.
martin ends up in the past following the same set of circumstances you'd expect, but he doesn't really... do anything. he sees some guy that kinda looks like him, shrugs his shoulders, finds doc and gets back home. unfortunately, however, his plan to save his life fails.
as if the devastation of losing his best friend wasn't enough, martin returns home to discover his family and home completely changed. he immediately suspects it has something to do with his trip to the past, but... it's not like he has anyone to ask anymore.
linda notices something strange about him, but doesn't care enough to pry. she explains that george has gone to work and that lorraine is still asleep.
martin runs off to find his mother, who chides him for disturbing her while she has a hangover. (martin didn't even know she drank?!) he's never seen her look so miserable or unhealthy as she recounts a dream she had.
later that night, martin joins his family for dinner, desperately trying to cling to any shred of normalcy. his family has definitely noticed something strange about him at this point, but he continues to try his best and act like nothing's wrong. unfortunately, he doesn't realize that george's creative endeavors are not public knowledge in this world.
apparently he keeps everything he writes in an unmarked box shoved underneath the bed. martin can't even begin to explain his situation, so he simply apologizes. he's expecting some sort of scolding or punishment, but it doesn't come. there isn't a hint of anger in george's voice, he just seems... afraid...?
days pass, and martin barely sleeps trying to figure out exactly what went wrong. none of this makes sense! what could he have possibly done in the past that could have had such a massive ripple effect? he tries to chart it out- where could he have possibly picked up such a neurotic habit?
time goes on. martin gets better at blending in, but lorraine knows he's not telling them something. she also swears there's something about his face that looks different. the others don't quite see it.
after a week or so, martin is shocked to suddenly see doc alive and well one night. it doesn't seem possible- the news reported his death, everything seemed so set in stone. yes, the doc of the twin pines universe is dead- but this isn't him.
anyway. thanks for reading and i hope that made sense. here's unrelated furry design stuff because you reached the end yayyy woohoo
yes i made them in tomodachi life yes i still made them furries mind your business
i've been cooking this for a while and am finally ready to post them... my Creatures... (more development stuff + extra art below the cut!)
i keep seeing people making anthro bttf au's and as someone who can barely draw humans and is hopelessly hyperfixated on bttf um. i needed to hop on this train. the mcflys are all pine martens (get it) and doc is an owl who never quite lost his scraggly baby feathers.
HOWEVER.
up until last night, they were foxes. and tbh, i'm still not entirely sold on the pine martens. i'm not sure which species is better; i stepped away from the foxes because i knew so many other people had the same idea and i didn't want anyone to think i was copying them ;-; you guys should let me know which you prefer!!!
celebrating the end of truest north by @festivating
to many more yuris to come.. and hopefully a future gelphie wedding drawing <3 or whatever the end of [insert name of the series' third fic (maybe something about time wink)] is!
ok you know what i spent 2 weeks on this i'll work up the guts to post it. fan animation of kosperry's anthro back to the future au because i'll eat rocks before i draw another human and the hyperfixation has utterly consumed me
Fanart for @unhappy-sometimes fic Follow. Heavy warning though (if you couldn't tell by the drawing) it has major character death. Okay now I can ramble.
Normally I stay away from fics that involve major character death because I can't handle them well but I've been keeping up with this author's fics for a year and I couldn't help myself and OW my heart. This fic is genuinely amazing and it made me feel such strong emotions that I picked up my pen and drew these guys for the first time in over a year. Unfortunately because it hit so hard I couldn't get myself to re read the fic for a specific scene so I drew something that I think would maybe take place post fic... something about wondering if a loved one is still with you after passing. I cannot stress enough how amazing their work is and how amazing this specific fic is!! Please go check out their work even if you can't read this specific fic. My personal other favs are after peace and (very) stupid.
Rosepearl screenshot redraw from the steven universe movie! I think I may revisit this later and actually clean it up but for now it will stay a colored sketch
My friend convinced me to watch steven universe and the brainrot has taken over. currently searching for the end of an era artbook and oh boy is it hard to find
I'll probably post more of my su sketches over the next few days and most of them will be blue diamond because she is my fav :3
