I kill literally every plant. But somehow I got an aquarium and planted shit underwater and those flourish? But I overwater every land plant???

You can't overwater in water! So you're good.
As an aside, my wife went to school for horticulture. Overwatering is exceptionally common. Whenever you feel like you should water a plant, skip that day and maybe even the next one.
Some plants even like to be drier and watering an amount that might be normal for another plant will kill it. You may want to consider getting a cheap hygrometer (or more than one) to test for moisture prior to watering.
I think you overwater every plant, just that the underwater ones like it.
I'll have you know, I did the impossible and propagated a pathos ivy as well.
