i can’t stop thinking about this weird little storm chaser AU my brain dreamed up where bill&ted are the POV characters but crucially not the main characters but the problem is that I truly don’t know anything about storms and I worry I’m not smart enough to understand if I do start researching LOL

#N posts stuff #like i have a vague fascination with storms but in largely esoteric/magical thinking ways VS scientific #but for some reason the idea is really sticking: full AU no Unite the World plot points #but they started off bc Liz and Jo wanted to photograph / video some storms as an art project thing #and bill and ted tag along to drive the van for them; and then instead of being a one off they just. keep doing it #and along the way somewhere they pick up Station — just two nonverbal dudes here — who are in it for the Science of it #and then background characters include Rufus and Kellye who man a radio station that focuses on reporting weather or whatever #and they pass along info to each other and they’re friends (weve also been very fixated on Radio lately)#and maybe the crux of the Main Meat of the fic is that Billie and Thea are also big on storm science and are finally old enough to start #tagging along on chases instead of being sequestered out in a shelter with either bill or ted (the other drives solo)#and there’s like. tension about it of the ‘it’s dangerous you’re supposed to do as i Say not as i Do’ variety #conflicting with how much the parents understand about how important it is to the girls #bill and ted being the POV means Technically i don’t necessarily have to Understand a lot bc they probably wouldn’t either #but to have all the other characters engage in coherent conversation we need to have a solid grasp of all the technical shit lol #and unfortunately i’m not the kind of writer who is willing to spin a yarn and make stuff up about it #but i also haven’t really Successfully studied any hard sciences since. uh. high school; most of what i read is nonfiction but it’s also all #like. ‘softer’ sciences — sexuality and disability and on and on ; storms and especially storm Chasing is a lot more technical i think
