Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I always liked that scene. It gives Gandalf a very grounded personality. He may have incredible magic, but joy is its own magic.

When he goes all terrible power when Bilbo offers him the ring, it makes the line "I am trying to help you." hit harder. He is genuinely a friend trying to help instead of some conniving trickster. He goes loud to make sure Bilbo is listening for the quiet part. With an insidious ring whispering to you, it can be hard to hear!
