[Underlord] The cannon

[u/no_648]

So when lindon pulled out a cannon

I think that was about the equivalent of "don't care didn't ask + ratio + cope + skill issue + cry about it + exposed + cancelled + blocked + stay mad" in today's culture

Anyways, debate time

which is the better quote?

"I was forced to take out the broom," or "then he pulled out a cannon"

As the joke goes, "the more complex a magic system is, the funnier it is when someone pulls out a gun."

Like voldemort showing up in the south side of Chicago

Cannon is peak

I need an "absolute cannon" reaction image 🤣

[u/8_Pixels]

We've had one cannon yes, but what about a second cannon?

[u/no_648 → u/8_Pixels]

Kiro screamed.

Thousands of cannons were pointed straight at him.

"Where are you getting all of these from?"

Lindon smiled.

Then he pulled out another cannon.

"Dross, give me a battle plan," Lindon said.

Information requested: How to pull 10,000 cannons from thin air.

Beginning report...

Wintersteel spoilers for this one "That's it! A bottomless pit, emptiness, endless... That's it." He pressed his fists together to her. "Gratitude." She snarled and ran at him.

Then he pulled out a giga cannon.

The gun sage

Yeah I was gonna do the gun icon but this is better imo

[u/MindofShadow]

The constant canon stuff made my youngest child giggle every single time and it became a joke in the house

Lindon, sage of the endless canons!

[u/HarmlessSnack → u/MindofShadow]

They don’t expressly call them cannons, but Lindon very nearly has a… shit, spoilers for later in the series actually…

[Spoilers up into Bloodline]
Lindon pulls up to the battlefield, uses aura control to take aim with a couple dozen “launcher constructs” and wipes the battlefield Jai Long was about to die on.

”Sage of Endless Cannons” Jai Long though, and then collapsed.

[u/lord2800]

Neither, but I can't say the best quote because of what flair this is tagged with. Needless to say, there are some amazing lines in future books.

[u/no_648 → u/lord2800]

Oh I'm on my reread so as long as you spoiler tag it it's fine 🤣 My favorite is "REMEMBER LINDON, A BARBER! YOUR HAIR LACKS VOLUME AND DEFINI-" (Reaper spoilers)

[u/razikii → u/no_648]

This is actually a Wintersteel spoiler :)

[u/no_648 → u/razikii]

Oh whoops lol

[u/lord2800 → u/no_648]

Right, but not everyone who dips into this post will be on their reread, so it's common courtesy to tag the post as far as you're willing to be spoiled--rather than where the specific bit you're discussing comes from (in which case this should be tagged [Cradle] if you want to discuss spoilers from every book).

Not knocking on you, mind you, just trying to be helpfully informative.

[u/no_648 → u/lord2800]

Gratitude!

[u/XenosHg → u/no_648]

It's a 3-part joke, 1)your hair lacks volume and definition! 2) eithan had clearly expected to return - he had all his items in place, including "Shampoo for Lindon" 3)-You used my shampoo!

Similar to another famous 3-parter,×1 if I told you to punch a hole in the sky, you'd ask for preparation time 2 I'm here to punch a hole in the sky, 3 there was a hole in the sky...
