So for people who've been here a while, what did you think the flights were going to be like when you read their description, and how did your expectations match up once you got to know people from various flights?

Having been here slightly over a year I can't say I've gotten to know many people from water, shadow, arcane, nature, ice... well, a lot of flights actually. I should really try harder with that.

So I'll just go one example:

I expected Light to be nerds. I was right. It's nerdtopia in there. You could say that applies to everyone on fr, but that is definitely the bookworm flight.

Any dragon of mine not wearing apparel or bonded to a familiar is potentially for sale.
Well, I did expect Earth to be very friendly and very.. How do you say that? We're one, big, group, no-one gets left behind. Maybe that's because we are the smallest Flight, I don't know, but I love it - that's why I joined in the first place.
I don't know about the other flights though, however I kind of expect Plague to be very mean and Shadow to be sad, but I don't think that's really right xD

I expected Arcane to be-well, i didn't expect anything other than creativity and space, and I got radioactivity, eldritch abominations, portals, and space jam. I'm pretty happy about it!

I haven't encountered many mean people in plague at all... we actually have a pretty strange sense of humor. Do you know about Plagueisweinnies? There are some posts about gore and stuff, but not to much. We're pretty dom oriented. But I dunno. Isn't Macabre in your flight? Macabre used to be our leader in dom stuff and other fun stuff.

I imagine Lightening to be full of slackers... otherwise why is their slogan "Get back to work" lol!

My expectations have pretty much matched reality, but I do realize I need to work on getting to know more people in other flights.

When I was deciding which flight to join, I was face with a choice between Shadow and Arcane. I ended up choosing Shadow for the fun and games aspect and have not been disappointed. I do, however, remain a space nerd at heart. If I ever end up taking a vacation, it will be to Arcane.

Expectations for Arcane: Scapegoats for the bugs on the site, super independent and creative people
Reality: Not scapegoats all that much, hella awesome, creative, and supportive people

I pledge allegiance, to the arcanauts, and the glorious Arcane Flight, and to the clans for which it stands, one flight, under the Arcanist, with curiosity and dreams for all.
@yumenekochan I love your sig. Very patriotic. (Salutes, single tear rolls down face as an eagle that has been mutated to have four eyes screeches and flies overhead)

When I first joined as Earth I expected it to be an unpopular/underdog flight with not many people, and I was kind of right! It IS one of the smallest flights.

Other than that, I'm not really sure what my first impressions were...

yeah, I know it's silly of me to think that, but I know Plague people can be very friendly ^^
I've seen it before on the fora c:

Lightning was as nerdy and sciency as I expected.
