How the rest of the Fellowship sees Gandalf: unknowably ancient & powerful wizard, highly intimidating, must be treated with respect, when he shows up in your kingdom you know shit’s about to go down
How the hobbits see Gandalf: fun uncle grandpa
#IT’S TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #THOUGH HONESTLY THEY PROBABLY SEE GANDALF MORE AS ‘FUN UNCLE GRANDPA WHO’S ALSO A WEED DEALER AND DOES A SIDE LINE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS’
that’s the fun part, the whole point of a fun uncle is they are wildly irresponsible
hobbit kids LOVE when Gandalf shows up bcos they know that if they stick to him sooner or later they’ll hear something they shouldn’t or get to do something they shouldn’t or both
