How To Romance Gale

Oh, that's really unclear! In the 'Hunger Games', there's an argument to be made that Gale Hawthorne did not play a significant role. It was his handiwork, an explosive bomb equipped with two charges--one in front and one behind--that snuffed out Primrose, younger sister of Katniss. But Gale did not kill her. He made the bomb for the warheaded opposition to the Capitol. He never had any idea Prim might be hurt--at all. Nevertheless, it happened, and through a power such as his could not carry out to sudden end she paid with her life.

It's worth noting that 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End' nervously navigates the territory of romance. While it's not the core theme or focus of the manga, there are subtle hints and undertones of love and affection between certain characters. But we mainly get to experience a heartfelt tale of longevity, friendship, and the profound message of cherishing moments over the thrill of adventures.

Don your black veil and let's wade into the murky depths of dark romance. In a nutshell, this genre delves deep into the bleaker side of love and relationships. It's a cauldron bubbling with intense emotions, angst-ridden characters, and oftentimes contorted plots that push our boundaries. Stories like 'Corrupt' by Penelope Douglas or 'Fear Me' by B.B. Reid typify this genre. They lure you into a world where love is tumultuous, and the lines between right and wrong blur. It's not about finding Prince Charming; it's about flawed heroes, and love blossoming amidst the chaos. This genre isn't for the faint-hearted, but it offers a profound exploration of human emotions.

If you want to try something new in the category of romance, MMF romance will be your next stop. This sub-genre contains stories about relationships involving two men and one woman. It is worth noting, however, that all three characters are in love with each other: the woman is not simply being chased by two men independently of each other. To be able to better understand this subgenre, I suggest the book 'Laid Bare' by Lauren Dane. Another book worth getting into would be The Space Between Us by Michelle L. Teichman. This genre isn't for everyone, but if you're up on humour/weirdness' in literature and don't want 'conventional' thematically presented notes of M/F romance, it offers a weird (and intriguing) alternative from a different angle.

'MFM romance' is a sub-genre of romance novels, where the storyline revolves around a three-way romantic relationship – consisting of two men and a woman. This isn't to be confused with MMF, which often implies a romantic connection between the two men. In MFM, though, the guys' attention is mainly focused on the female character and they often pool their resources and efforts to win her affections. Some standout titles include 'Colters' Woman' and 'Becoming Calder'. The taboo and tantalizing dynamics often make these novels popular amongst fans of dramatic and intense romance.

In 'BioShock Infinite', Songbird is an intriguing character. It's an imposing creature, a creation of scientific genius, bonded with Elizabeth. Despite its intimidating stature, it's shown to have a unique and deep bond with Elizabeth. However, the game doesn't offer an option to romance Songbird. The connection between Songbird and Elizabeth is more about companionship and less about romantic engagement. There's a whole lot of interesting backstories about Songbird that could fill a novel, but unfortunately, romantic interaction isn't part of it.

When I think about Katniss and Gale’s relationship in 'Mockingjay', it’s wild to see how drastically things shift between them. At the start, they were like this awesome duo, hunting together in District 12, sharing a bond forged by survival. But as the war heats up, so does the strain in their friendship. Gale's perspective on fighting becomes more intense, almost ruthless, and you can feel Katniss pulling away from him. She starts to question his methods and admires Peeta’s compassion. It’s like they’re on opposite sides of a battlefield, where one is fighting for the rebellion with a sort of cold steel, while the other clings to hope and humanity. It’s heartbreaking because they’ve been through so much together, but the reality of their circumstances builds a wall between them. I remember their conversations becoming tense, filled with unspoken words and simmering anger, especially the moment when Gale suggests a solution that Katniss finds too extreme. She stares at him, and you can feel her heart breaking. It’s not just about choosing sides in the rebellion; it’s about realizing that the person she used to know is changing and perhaps not for the better. The moment he becomes associated with the pain of war, her feelings take a hit. It’s this painful reminder of how war can corrupt even the strongest bonds. By the end, it’s clear they can’t return to that carefree camaraderie they once had, leaving a lingering sense of what could have been. If they had found a way to reconcile their beliefs before the end, maybe they would have emerged from the ashes together instead of as shadows of their former selves.

In this type of romance, love doesn't always have to be, as with other forms of this genre, hard, passionate and desperate. It is more often about suggestingting and implying things, focused less on the physical element of love than its emotional nature: communication, trust, sharing dreams--and all those butterflies-in-the-stomach moments.
