Nobody talk to me I just realized how fitting All Too Well (10 Minute Version) fits Gale’s relationship with Mystra
Specifically, these parts (but also like the whole song):
“And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but l'm not fine at all”
- kinda self explanatory
“And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was”
- how Gale talks about loving Mystra but it’s pretty clear she was using him and don’t feel the same for him
“And there we are again when nobody had to know. You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath. Sacred prayer and we'd swear To remember it all too well.”
- let’s be real, there’s no way Mystra talked about Gale the way Gale talks about her
“Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up. Runnin' scared, I was there I remember it all too well and you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here 'cause I remember it all.”
- this bridge really takes me out
- it pretty much sums up how Gale tried to do something Mystra didn’t like even if it was for her and in response she cast him out and basically destroyed him
- it also pretty well shows how she refuses to acknowledge him until she needs him to blow himself up and then when he won’t she summons him just to tell him he has to bring her the crown
“They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind. You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine and that made me want to die. The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you.”
- yeah that tracks for the whole he was a young prodigy clearly used (there’s another word that should go here but I’m new to this app and don’t know if I can say it) by Mystra
- also again with the as long as he does what she says everything is fine because it’s all the will of the goddess
“Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it.”
- Gale still being pretty traumatized throughout the game (for obvious reasons)
“'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known.”
- fuck you Mystra
“And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes, "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"”
- again, fuck you Mystra
“I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight.”
- she ruined him physically with that orb and emotionally in every other way
“Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?”
- we know it ruined Gale but Mystra is clearly doing fine
Like it just perfectly fits his feelings of betrayal but also his need to still seek her approval. It also perfectly fits the way Mystra clearly used him throughout the entire time she knew him and discarded him the moment he did something she didn’t like.
Alright TedTalk over, just needed to get this out into the world.
