Earth is basically the Thanos of dom pushes. We snap our fingers and we're in the top 3 on the DOM board.
I have been in Water, and when they push, they push hard. Good example is right now, as they're conquest pushing against Ice. However, I don't think Water pushes too often? Take that with a grain of salt though, I barely looked in Water's flight/dom forums when I was there.
Community-wise, both are good flights! I consider both to be tight-knit; Earth more-so, since it's the smallest and it's easier to recognize users. Everyone in both flights is incredibly nice and kind. Very welcoming.
Aesthetic/lore wise, I prefer Water flight. Mostly because I connected with it more than Earth. There's a lot you can incorporate in your lore when it comes to Water flight. You like deep depths and the creepy unknown? Water's got it. You like coral reefs and fishies and cute, bright, vibrant, things? Water's got it. Want your clan to build a submarine? You can do that if ya want! Want oracle dragons that speak to a now-missing deity? Yes. You can have dragons that do that.
I do like crystals and shiny things though; so Earth has that goin' for them aside from plain dirt. Also lots of history and knowledge of the past, I think (?) I barely read the lore though. Someone else can correct me here. I haven't been to Water's discord because anxiety but when I hopped to Earth, I decided to take the plunge and went to their discord. Heck more active than the Earth forums, for sure! I'm sure Water's the same. c:
All in all, both are great flights. Earth has much prettier eye-types imo but water's got those nice, calm, blues.~ Both primal eyes suck though. Do you want to tearbend or get severe eye-crusties?
Anyway, I hope my explanations help you out, even if a little bit. c: No matter what flight, I'm sure you'll have a great time!
