demonkid definitely not my intention for it to come off like that! i recognize that everyone is interested in their respective flights for personal reasons, & i’ve always had sort of an idea of which ones i’d rather switch to & why, wondered about other people’s thoughts & reasonings as well. just interested in other’s opinions - never wanted this to seem rude or anything of the sort, sorry if it seems that way
also aware that arcane is more than pink, but for a lot of people (me included) the eye color matters a lot depending on what kind of dragons they breed. me with my darker breeding projects just am not super into the pink eyes, nothing personal

I’m just saying. On like. Most breeds. Eyes never even show up. Guardians. Imps. Sky dancers. Babescales. Arcane is the flight of being curious no matter what happens. It’s putting the pursuit of knowledge above all else. But sadly no one gets that. Same stuff happens to plague.
Plague is about surviving even when it’s hard. To give yourself a disadvantage and yet coming out the winner. But everyone sees eww gross. Gore. Blööd. We rlly need to stop the just. Awkward assumptions. That’s why I prob rlly never could join plague. I’d do the gore and junk (I even do now kinda) and miss the meaning.
Food for thought.
Edit: I only got upset because people were just like. No. Ew. Pink. If you legit don’t vibe with the ideals that’s 101% fine. But don’t avoid a flight just because of eyes. It’s risky but you Can rent nests. I don’t often, but I do when I want a different color. (I honestly don’t rent nests because I’ve started to like pink. Btw o also fear space a lot. How the turns table am I right)

demonkid i completely see your point, but sometimes the little things matter more to people than it’d seem, and as unfortunate as it is everyone has their assumptions /: it’s all relative, everyone is gonna take bits & pieces of each flight differently & this thread is just a place to discuss that, no harm intended
& i see the pink eyes thing as well ! but it’s definitely a dealbreaker for some people - a huge reason that i’m even switching to plague is because i LOVE red <3 everyone has their preferences but i see how it can be frustrating when it seems that a big part of the flight is overlooked. thank you for your input, i appreciate the discussion!

vihuff ooh, just now seeing this after going thru all the replies. that’s so interesting, i’m most surprised about lightning being so high, but i definitely see that based on all the steampunk / desert reasonings. thank you for this, so fun to look at <3

Lightning: I love it. I'm here. V.I.B.E.
Light: Moved a while back, A-OK.
Earth: VIBES. I love earth!! Such a nice aesthetic.
Plague: Same as Earth
Arcane: Cool beans, forbidden magic, yeah, it would work
Ice: They have Gaolers, okay???
Wind: Meh?
Shadow: Not my thing but the apparel is cool
Fire: Seriously, not my thing
Water: I dunno, the fact that their territory is literally a big lake and not the ocean makes me UPSET.
Nature: Y'all in nature are sweet, but I can't find myself liking all the bright green and glowing gold.

That's cool and looking at people's responses I'm guessing most people don't put their own flight last lol but my logic was basically 'can't move if I'm already here' oops.

Earth - Current flight, there now, love it, will never leave it permanently
Arcane - In my lore I'm a border clan on Arcane, I started in Arcane, and I'm considering moving back next year! though I'll definitely be back to Earth
Plague - I adore plague and every year around Halloween I get the inexplicable urge to join the flight. I never will, because I can't abandon my crystal dragons, but I do have a hibernal den tab designated to plague kids
Light - Probably the flight that matches my own lair the most, aesthetic-wise
Fire - Similar to Light, it would match my lair pretty well. I have a lot of oranges in my lair. Plus fire eyes are my fave
Wind - I've been in Wind before and I really love the lore and aesthetic. I have a tab designated to Wind-y dragons
Nature - I like Nature quite a bit in concept, and it also could fit my lair and dragons, though it is sort of basic.
Lightning - It's a desert like Earth, sure, and I love the aesthetic Lightning lairs on site. I still don't vibe with the lore as much as I do Earth's
Shadow - I go ham for fey and fey themes, but the aesthetic itself is too dark and purple. I need the brightness in my lair :/
Water - Kind of a limiting Flight aesthetic-wise, doesn't fit my lair at all. I want to start a tab for beach-y dragons though!
Ice - My whole lair is literally set in hot desert terrain. I love Ice's lore but really don't like the aesthetic
Earth - Current flight, there now, love it, will never leave it permanently
Arcane - In my lore I'm a border clan on Arcane, I started in Arcane, and I'm considering moving back next year! though I'll definitely be back to Earth

Earth: Home
Fire: nerds with arson issues
Wind: nerds who backpack across the world and live off stolen granola bars
Water: nerds with seemingly endless fish facts that you never ask for
Shadow: nerds who think they're cool but still nerds
Ice: baby jail nerds
Lightning: all work and no play makes a dull nerd
Light: nerds with 2% more class than everyone else but still nerds
Nature: tree hugging nerds
Plague: nerds who need to hug trees more often
Arcane: crunchy wrap supreme nerds

I don't really think it's fair to get upset that someone doesn't want to join a flight based on color. If someone really doesn't like pink, and that aesthetic it's in their right to not like it. Plague is by far my favorite aesthetic, and color. However, I wouldn't join because I'd not like the eye colors and I would not want to ask to borrow nests for every dragon. Also, for me personally, I love red dragons, but I won't want my personal dragon lair aesthetic to be plague no matter how much I like that element. (I haven't gotten to build my aesthetic much yet)
I think it's a perfectly acceptable reason not to want to be in a flight. Everyone has their own thoughts and feelings, and shouldn't have to be shamed because a reason they might not join is because of a specific color. Some people even prefer to match their entire dragon scheme to their element. I have seen many lairs that do just that. For example, Nature has lairs that are often green and brown dragons, that look like trees. I've seen Arcane lairs that are all purple and pink, and look magical. I've seen plague where it's a lot of dark looking, bold colored dragons. Some people want to match their dragons with their elements... and sometimes a pink Arcane Element Lair isn't for everyone. It's not required to match your lair to your element, but if someone wants to do so.. they should be allowed without being shamed that, "i didn't want to join the pink flight"
I think this is a perfectly great thread because you get to see everyone how thoughts and feelings, and how different people are. Whereas one person might totally love Plague or Arcane for the colors, and the aesthetics, other people might not. Maybe, the element is an underdog.. and that's okay. Nobody has to like the same stuff, in fact, sometimes the least liked elements become the best elements because not so many people flock there, and sometimes that particular community can be the best as they get a chance to really start knowing one another better (those that talk in forums, and discords), and building up their community together.
This is also just how people see another element on the outside looking in, maybe they're right.. maybe, they're wrong. And, that's okay. It's interesting to see how others see different flights from an outsiders perspective.
