Confused as to why everyone is Dear Utol (2025): Week 7 Highlights 40"pondering the orb" on Twitter?

The phrase "pondering the orb" is currently circulating on the app. Typically accompanied by an image of an elderly wizard staring intensely at a mystical, glowing orb, the meme appears to have emerged back in October when @thatsgoodweb posted it with the caption "pondering my orb." The tweet has since garnered over 23,000 likes.

According to Know Your Meme, the image of the wizard comes from the cover of A Spy in Isengard (Middle-Earth Quest), a fantasy-genre gamebook from Terry K. Amthor. Published in 1988, it's a choose-your-own-adventure epic set in the Lorde of the Rings universe. Don't worry if it doesn't sound familiar to you: It's quite the deep cut.
