What's with the numbers, are they 2019 years old? 2019 miles/metres away? The numbers, what do they mean?!
It's their age and sex, Gandalf is indeed 2049 years old during the events of the Lords of the ring.
I feel dumb, how did I not notice?
It's alright, I thought it was net worth at first.
2019 years old Male
You think Gandalf ever had sex in those 2019 years? I mean, he probably has the equipment for the job and we know that wizards can enjoy the pleasures of mortals, such as smoking halfling weeds. He probably has at least made it to second base
Radagast def got bussay with them animals fo sho
Statistically speaking he must have.
How he couldn't? I mean not even an orc?
Gandalf has unmatched rizz
So probably yeah
The Valar can marry, which implies romantic love. (Although it seems like they don't have children the normal way.) So I think the Maiar experience romantic love too. Gandalf doesn't seem like the sort who would talk about it, especially if his partner had been dead for centuries.
But with Tolkien, you never know - apparently elves and humans have only gotten together twice in all the history of the world despite looking like each other and frequently being platonic friends.
Edit: I forgot about Luthien's mom. The Maiar can even have children.
