Do you ever think about the fact that in Arthurian myth, specifically in Culhwch ac Olwen, Gwyn ap Nudd's just hanging out on the sidelines, drinking mimosas, watching as Arthur and this coterie of superpowered knights try and grab what accounts to a barber's shop off of a transfigured boar? At the same time, his brother is a lover of Queen Guinevere AND is the dad of the first acknowledged King of Gwynedd.
