Re: Gale Richards
1. Because James Marsden doesn't have good icons and it was a long hard road to find a replacement - for Dancy it's the floppy hair, the floppy hair won out 2. I don't remember - I like "gale" as in the wind because ... he's adrift but lbr it's probably Hunger Games 3. Gale's... uh. He's not a bad boyfriend, but he's not really a good person. He's cagey, and he doesn't really trust people, so letting someone in to the extent that he lets in Dean is really scary. He's afraid it affects his sense of self-preservation, that it's going to get him killed because of an act of selflessness, and it's going to keep him in a dangerous place past the point when he should have left already. That said, though, he's open and loving and affectionate, and he does nice things for the hell of it. And he's trying to be more honest, and he's not sleeping with other people even if he's a flirt. He's learning.
