i do think the whole "gale is a slowburn romance" thing is very funny bc like. i get being concerned whether or not you're on the right path for his romance on a first playthrough when you don't know his big confession is in act 2, but still calling it a slowburn just bc you don't fuck in act 1 is . it sure is

#sure it takes an act and a half (more or less depending on how long it takes you to get his scene)#but it still doesn't feel like 'slowburn' fits to me #like... ast*ri*n (censoring so it stays out of tags. hopefully) could probably be considered a slowburn #for how much of it isn't genuine Romance but rather him manipulating you #as i understand it l*ez*l's big emotional moment happens in act 3 #meanwhile g*le is genuinely into you Early and so devoted from the confession onward #there's just . uh. Other factors at play there keeping him from acting on it before act 2 #i think it also feels a bit like... focusing so much on just getting the confession and the sex scene is the exact opposite of #how the romances were designed in the first place #you know the whole 'you're not Winning a sex scene as the end of the romance' thing or however they phrased it #like certain (cough) series (cough cough) that shall remain unnamed (hacking wheezing)#yeah i think that's it. my issue is probably that some of the people calling it a slowburn don't actually mean a Slowburn #bc there are other romances that would qualify way more #they just mean it takes a while to get his sex scene lmao
