You're just pondering pondering orbs. It's orb pondering all the way down

In January of 2023 an image of a wizard with a glass ball appeared (I think on a MtG card). It was adopted into a wizardposting community and ever since it's been the go-to image for those pondering orbs.

So why has it come into vogue suddenly?

Yeah I thought getting all touchy feely with creepy glowing orbs went out of fashion a while ago...

I think someone just wanted to bring it back so they made a few new joke images based on it, and then other people jumped back on orb. I mean on board.

You're right to be afraid. It's too late to ask, sorry.

I fully agree. Sometimes knowledge can be too dangerous if you aren't prepared. Honestly, OP should focus on wizarding basics, or maybe find another calling.

Alright, I will. Thanks for keeping me safe šŸ™

Installation is a perfectly valid school of magic and donā€™t let anyone tell you otherwise

Ah, so that's why I never really fell in love with flat-screens. Nowhere to place my wizardly decorations!

Speaking of wizards. I tapped your text to upvote and a whole fucking image macro popped up

Edit: ignore me, the image finally loaded on my shitty phone

well maybe you'd figure it out if you pondered your own orb for a while?
