![]() ![]() In the span of a month, these females mate, lay eggs, and die, making it exquisitely rare to see even a single female in the wild. Ribbon eels are all born jet black males-they are protandric, changing to female only when necessary to reproduce. ![]() The female is entirely yellow and over a meter long. The male ribbon eel’s elongated dorsal fin is a screamy chartreuse-yellow and its belly is an attention-grabbing cobalt. The wiggle of its body-the undulation to end all undulations-is like my own tongue, excited to tell my husband all the minutiae of a day spent alone with our three-year-old and our infant son, Jasper last baby. When this colorful eel, hidden behind coral, detects a guppy swimming nearby and wants to chase down its next snack, it simply unspools itself, as if a piece of ribbon candy has unfolded and softened in the sea. ![]()

"In a godgame," Wilson says, "one character (or several) is made a victim by another character's superior knowledge and power. ![]() The most extensive analysis of the godgame appears in R Rawdon Wilson's In Palamedes' Shadow: Explorations in Play, Game, & Narrative Theory ( 1990), in which The Magus is discussed at length. His magus-figure Conchis ensnares the young narrator in a maze of delusive scenes that challenge Perception a kind of manipulated Pocket Universe which can be escaped only when Conchis permits, after he has judged the narrator to have become a competent human being. The term was coined by John Fowles to describe the scenario of The Magus ( 19), whose working title was in fact «The Godgame». ![]() A frequent shorthand in sf/fantasy Terminology for tales whose outcome is controlled, and whose characters are usually weighed in the balance, by a god-like figure. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments I ♥ Cheese by Mihaela Metaxa-Albu![]() ![]() ![]() This recipe comes to us from Mihaela Metaxa Albu of Blondelish.įor a video showing how to make this recipe, click here.įor more recipes with cherry tomatoes, click here.
