Annual review for the Istari

earendil-was-a-mariner:

Manwe: Okay Gandalf, it seems like you did a pretty good job, put a lot of effort intobringing down Sauron. You definitely deserve a raise.

Manwe: Now, Radagast, what did you do exactly?

Radagast: I befriended the birds and the beasts, sir.

Manwe: Uh huh…okay, well, sure. 

Manwe: Now, Saruman…I think you know what you did wrong. 

Saruman: I was trying to bring Sauron down from within, you know? Like a double agent.

Manwe: You’re fired. 

Manwe: Also can someone please find Alatar and Pallando, where the hell are those guys?

Gandalf: man I am so done with this world. I need a break. I think it’s time to visit old valinor.

Elrond: you think you have it tough??? My parents left me for some sparkly rocks, my brother abandoned me to face the ages of this world alone, my wife is gone and my daughter ran away and married my fucking foster son. What could possibly be worse than thousands of years of this???

Gandalf: have you met??? Peregrin?? Took????
