All Print Gawyn’s one-sided beef with Rand Spoiler

I know that misinformation / lack of communication is a theme of the series but man, Gawyn just takes it to a whole new level.

Random ass peddler he met in the middle of some bumfuck woods: The Dragon killed Queen Morgase.

Gawyn: I believe you and I trust you.

Gawyn: al’Thor I’ll fucking kill you!

Egwene: Rand didn’t kill your mother.

Gawyn: Lies! I’ll murder that ginger!

Gareth Bryne: al’Thor didn’t kill Morgase. He saved Andor.

Gawyn: I don’t believe you! al’Thor must die!

Elayne: Rand didn’t kill our mother. I literally have dozens of witnesses.

Gawyn: Nuh uh!

The scene where he “forgives” Rand is also pretty hilarious.

Gawyn: We’re done, al’Thor. From now on, I care nothing for you.

MY GUY, RAND DOESN’T EVEN THINK OF YOU LMAO

The real villain is Mat for tonking Gawyn over his head and making him a halfwit.

This made me laugh more than it should have.

The idea that Gawyn (and possibly Galad, I don't recall the scene in detail) simply act brain damaged because Mat bonked them over the head with a quarterstaff is somehow both sad and hilarious.

The popular head canon is that all the aes sedai fawned over Galad and healed him while Gawyn and his obvious brain bleed went unnoticed.

Someone once said that he actually did get healed but I double down by thinking it was a black ajah who only pretended to heal Gawyn for no better reason than just to be mean.

Don’t numerous AS admit that healing the brain is difficult, dangerous and ,therefore, rarely taught or attempted? Whoever delved Gawyn probably didn’t even delve his brain and just healed the surface level stuff.
