The orb pondering wizard is the subject of the “Pondering My Orb” meme. More simply known as “Ponder Orb,” this meme became viral on Twitter in October 2021. The original picture comes from a 1988 gamebook titled Middle-Earth Quest: A Spy In Isengard, for a role-playing game based on Lord of the Rings. Perhaps this wizard is related to Gandalf?
