“oh... glad you could join us.”

“something funny?”

“i don't think you really know what that is.”

“what's your name?”

“do you need a quarter?”

“are you afraid to give me a straight answer?”

“hey, can we get two more?”

“what is this anyway, some kind of job interview?”

“you still haven't answered my question.”

“this doesn't mean you get the job.”

“you mean we're not in love?”

“ain't no jail cell can hold me.”

“look, i had one too many drinks. it got away from me.”

“you still have a job?”

“what i know is that you need to be at work in four hours.”

“you're drunk, so the best thing you could do right now is to shut up.”

“you sound pretty sure about that.”

“i couldn't agree with you more.”

“maybe i'm a guy who's done doing business like that.”

“it ain't sexy, but it sure as hell makes us some serious money.”

“and what is this? what am i looking at?”

“well, we're married.”

“we'll take my car, it's closer.”

“i don't think there is such a thing.”

“well, they had me fooled.”

“what a fearful way to do business.”

“you've made just enough safe choices to stay alive, but not enough to matter.”

“you can be more. you want to be more, don't you?”

“the window of opportunity is closing. this is your chance.”

“this is about you finally having the confidence to walk out on the ledge and know that you're not going to fall.”

“i'm not going to apologize for caring about your business, even if the people who work for you don't.”

“i'll think about it.”

“look, it's better than a flat-out no.”

“are you gonna fix it?”

“i don't care who broke it.”

“you want to take a look and see what's wrong with that?”

“okay, [name], do you want to maybe get me the salt? maybe you could reach into the cabinet about seven inches from your head, take out the salt and put it in my hand so i can finish cooking this. do you think you could at least get me the salt?”

“i'm not in the mood, all right?”

“why don't you go blow-dry your hair some more or something?”

“don't you realize what you wrote?”

“if you see him around, i wanna meet that guy.”

“what are you doing? why are you doing this?”

“we're headed out the door to a movie.”

“he wanted to know if you thought about what he said.”

“oh, yeah? what kind of ideas?”

“we spoke on the phone earlier.”

“what? why? what would be the point?”

“wow, you're serious.”

“look, that's a terrible idea.”

“i'm sorry, but you missed it.”

“are you out of your mind?”

“how are you gonna force their hand?”

“do you have a family, [name]?”

“could you please acknowledge how crazy that is?”

“he's just keyed up about something.”

“[name], we can't do this again. you know we can't.”

“it's just literally a mistake that we can't afford to make again.”

“do you have any idea how expensive this thing was?”

“i faked a fever, so... let's turn this thing inside out.”

“the good news is there's a way around that, sort of.”

“i am a little rusty at this.”

“wait, wait, wait, what am i doing here?”

“how are you getting this from that?”

“you found a needle in a haystack.”

“we still have a lot to do.”

“i-i thought you weren't gonna be back till monday.”

“would you please tell me that you didn't buy all this?”

“why would you lie to me?”

“no, i did not lie to you.”

“this right here, this is what i want to do with my life!”

“well, it's not enough. okay? i'm sorry, it's not enough.”

“come on, [name], don't be like that.”

“i'm sorry, but i think you'll wanna take this.”

“i guess i can say it's good to know he's alive.”

“i wish i could've warned you, but now it might be too late.”

“we've got a problem.”

“i told them.”

“[name], look at me. i'm not like you, okay?”

“oh, go to hell, [name].”

“there is no "we," [name].”

“i figured you needed a break.”

“look, i've been awful. i'm sorry.”

“whatever it is you're dreaming of, build it. i know you can make it great.”

“you son of a bitch.”

“now, why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?”

“i admire your tenacity, but i draw the line at you claiming that you did me a favor.”

“don't screw this up.”

“later, spooky bitch.”

“you know i screwed him, right?”

“let's be adult about this.”

“you love talking down to me, don't you?”

“who are you again?”

“you need me, otherwise you wouldn't be here.”

“i wanted to see what i was so wrong about the first time.”

“i'm sorry you feel bad for hurting my feelings, but don't worry, you didn't.”

“it wasn't supposed to be personal.”

“this is too important to get wrong.”

“i don't need you.”

“how much money would you give me?”

“i'm never... i'm never gonna forget that.”

“holy shit.”

“what are you trying to prove with all this?”

boone the type of guy to bring you to a 7/11 on the first date

[windflows]

thinking about boone being on a first name basis with various healthcare workers across tornado alley — not because they’ve treated him for bmx or storm-chasing related injuries ( they have ) but also because he just likes checking in on the people they’ve helped during the days/weeks they spend in the area.

[windflows]

boone + outfits TWISTERS (2024) requested by @kai-boone

[windflows]

reviving boone because it’s hot hick summer 💕

[windflows]

tis boone.

[windflows]

you know. it’s kinda funny how boone is probably the easiest muse i’ve ever had when it comes to potential shipping because he just has such a warm and welcoming vibe. and i think it really says smth about how hard the chemistry between characters in this movie goes cause i could very easily find a reason to ship him with anyone in the movie lmao. like you’ve got the classic friends to lovers complete with a (slight one sided???) codependency thing with tyler. him and lily? iconic actually and i’d go as far as to say it has some actual backing. him being in awe of kate is CANON we all love kate and she deserves to know it. him and javi? i see the vision especially if you wanted to lean into the “understands what its like to pine for their best friend” angle. basically what i’m saying is his friendlyboy swag is unmatched and everyone should be smooching him cause he’s very smoochable. thank you. 😌

[windflows]

boone calling kate and javi “honeybuns” …. country boy i love you eugh

[windflows]

brandon perea as boone in TWISTERS (2024)

[windflows]

come get your man he's not doing anything wrong he just misses you

[windflows]

thinking about boone’s slightly stammery “uh, i- i didn’t go to school…. i just flow with the wind” and how quickly tyler jumped in to say they don’t need fancy degrees makes me wonder if that’s a bit of touchy subject. like i think boone definitely has his own bouts of insecurity in regards to his lack of education and in his darker moments, might wonder what exactly he brings to the table. he doesn’t understand the science like dani and dexter do, which never used to bother him before but it’s a fact that becomes abundantly clear once kate joins and tyler finally has someone to really talk shop with. he can operate his recording equipment just fine but the mechanics of the more advanced tech lily and javi use elude him, though they’re always happy to talk him through what they’re doing ( especially when he has a camera in hand ). he knows thinking like that ain’t fair considering how well they’re doing now and all but…. well. that nagging little voice in the back of your mind don’t always listen to reason.

[windflows]

this is how boone spends his time when there’s no storms to chase

[windflows]

THE TWISTERS CAST FINDING OUT THAT DAVID CORENSWET WAS CAST AS SUPERMAN 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[windflows]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤthe heat don't bother him nearly as much as the idea of being cooped up inside a motel room while there's still daylight to burn, even if their chasing prospects were slim to none for the day. so he's set up shop outside as a compromise, staked a claim on a corner of one of lily’s pop up tables and poitioned it under the awning in a half-assed attempt at hiding from the worst of the sun's rays. he hadn’t been working for very long when a voice sounds by his side and he’s smiling before he even tears his eyes away from the computer screen. ❝ hey'a kate. take a seat, ❞ blinking up at her against the heat, the smile only grows wider once his heat- and tech-addled brain processes her words.

❝ oh, yeah! rodeo was great. i mean, nothing really compares to chasin' a tornado once you got that under your belt but it's not all that far off, i think. ❞ the rodeo brings about fond memories, grin turns a touch nostalgic as he shifts a bit to allow her more leg room. ❝ yeah, i was just a bullfighter so i never, like, competed or anything. that was alllll tyler. i just made folks laugh, y'know, and helped the riders when they got bucked. ... you ever been to one before? ❞ aside from that night in stillwater goes unsaid.

“ tyler tells me you guys met through rodeo? ” it’s hot today, almost oppressively so, but with no cloud in the sky and no cells of any particular interest on the radar kate knows they’re likely not to get anything. tomorrow, maybe, if the heavy blanket of HUMIDITY hanging over them means anything. and it usually does. she could be inside the stuffy air of her motel room, working on the paper she needs to complete for her summer thesis, but she doesn’t think her melted brain could string together two proper sentences, let alone anything of substance. so she sits on the shader patio in a chair that lets her stretch out her leg, rolling a sweaty bottle of gatorade between her palms and watching boone as he edits videos. she spies her own likeness on the screen a moment, and resists the urge to pull a face. “ those days just have been exciting. ”

@windflows 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚍 * accepting

[windflows]

imagining boone saying “mods, ban that guy” in his thick southern accent is making me giggle ngl

[windflows]

have we considered the hilarity of kate becoming a Livestream Cryptid Gf™ yet. Like I think she’d be on occasional Tornado Wrangler videos & cameo on streams & such, but mostly if there’s an update she’s excited to share.

So I can’t help but picture the Wranglers doing a subscriber milestone livestream and when Kate passes through the background the chat goes absolutely wretched with “KATE SPOTTED 🫵” “KATE HI” “K8!!!!” “KAAAAAAATE” (katydid emoji) (katydid emoji) (katydid emoji) (katydid emoji)

[windflows]

how the conversation between boone and tyler went when they first had the idea to put augers on the truck
