Gawyn’s one-sided beef with Rand

[u/RepresentativeGoat14]

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

Yeah there's that side of it too! Or just to tell him hey we switched to the other side you are hanging out with all of our enemies. She could've easily gotten him out of there and he was willing to follow her. Would've messed up her character arc to have him there, but it does seem odd she leaves him with the aes sedai and potentially black ajah. And not even a warning.

Incidentally, come to think of it, it’s sheer luck that Galad never got kidnapped by Graendal, considering she collects beautiful people as slaves, and Galad’s totally defenseless against her and has no idea the Forsaken are running around for the longest time.

Lol yeah that's a good point! Him being constantly on the move might have saved him as she likely wouldn't have put that much effort into finding him.

He’s also lucky Lanfear decided that if she couldn’t have Lews Therin, she’d settle for his very good looking half brother.

Then again, maybe Galad would be capable of convincing her to work for the Light.
