Both Bacteria and Archaea are considered prokaryotes, and they represent two of the three domains of life, with the third domain being Eukarya, which includes all complex organisms, including humans, animals, plants, and fungi.
The relationship between Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya is a complex and evolving field of study. It’s still a matter of scientific investigation and discussion as to which of these two prokaryotic domains, Bacteria or Archaea, might be more closely related to the common ancestor of all life on Earth.
Some researchers have proposed that Archaea may have closer evolutionary ties to the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), the hypothetical single-celled organism from which all life on Earth is descended. However, this is not yet definitively established, and ongoing research is providing new insights into the evolutionary history of life.
Been an age since I last showed off some of my dragons and their accents/outfits. These are all mated pairs, and from top to bottom they are:
Bothari and Dendarii, whom I’ve had for a while and just got accents for both today. She’s in Noble Soul while he’s wearing Artemis Fall. I love how both accents use usual wind item colours (my old flight!) in such different ways.
Zedama and Zedaya, my XXX/XXY of peridot aberrations. Also rocking wind colour based accents, in her case Wind Bearers and in his Jamboree Attendant.
And then we have Eukarya and Kaktos, in his-and-her wind- and nature-based outfits. They’re both sporting love’s herald birds, with mistral mantle, tree warden’s garb, plasmpool hindcallouses, and summer swelter. She’s got a Bamboooooo accent and he has bamboo dried tea.
Next up are Pecan and Sycamore, a pair of gaoler tree dragons. She’s in Spirit’s Garden (from last year’s Greenskeeper Gathering) and he’s wearing the Summer Coat accent from this year’s.
Finally, a pair who matched so well with their familiars that of course I had to include them too, Marielle (a ground-fissure fossil dragon), and her gem-gened mate Catrain. She’s looking particularly elegant in an outfit based mainly on dread dancer and raven sylvan items with a marshlurker’s drape, mist chime, and regal masque. Catrain is wearing sanddune rags, an echo eater flightshoud, and a steel shield, along with a couple of scaled friends. He’s also in a Graveyard Spoils accent for the bony look. They’re both wearing unearthly onyx pieces - a nightshroud for him and pendants for her.
reading about how life is divided at the highest levels (so domains) on wikipedia and one of the possible high-level divisions is labeled as "controversial". bitch most of this shit is controversial

I am working on the polls and will reveal the first bracket of fandom polls as soon as i can! my goal is to alternate between fandom and canon splinters and after that the favorable canon splinter versus the fandom splinter!
First things first! The Pre-Tournament will start in *checks watch* 10 ish hours if I do not sleep in so here are the competing worlds!
Eukarya's Leonardo vs Raphael [@gayest-squrrel]
Snapdragon's Donatello vs Leonardo vs Michelangelo vs Raphael [@bluesgras]
Teenage Turtle Ninja Mutant's Michelangelo vs Splinter [@idiot-mushroom]
TMNT: Insurgent's Cassandra vs Raphael [@teddy-beartv]
TMNT: Omniverse's Michelangelo vs Donatello vs Raphael [@glitter-alienzzz]
Addams Family's Usagi vs Michelangelo vs Leonardo [@lackablazeical]
Everyone go check out these AU's to get a good judgement on who you want winning and competing in this tournament!
Second thing! I am so sorry to everyone who has @'d me in things and I haven't rb'd them yet. I'm about to start a queue for everything.
Third and last thing I think I need to address, I am so sorry for stalling on sending DM's to everyone. I'm not great at texting on the best of days, heck I haven't spoken to my irl best friend in over a month, so I can admit I've been procrastinating a bit. I've decided that the actual competition will start on the 8th [I don't wanna get in the way of the Mutant Mayhem hype] but I will be hoping to post the list of participating accounts and representatives on the 4th and the brackets out on the 5th.
I'm not quite sure what else I need to say here. I'm going to sleep after posting this so I'll answer any questions in the morning before posting the pre-tourney polls. 👍👍👍
