cars are so much scarier than planes. i’ve literally never been afraid on an airplane like first of all being on a plane is fun. second of all you’re in a big as fuck vehicle with no other vehicles around for miles and the person at the wheel is a professional and not just Some Guy. one time i was getting a ride home from a nonbinary friend of a friend who was driving very erratically down the highway at 1am and they said to me unprompted “i have ocd so i only drive at speeds that are multiples of five”
“why is it relevant that the friend is nonbinary” because it foreshadows that they’re base 5 instead
