This is amazing in every way.
Aaand, we have a new winner. What tumblr is that one from?
The best part about LE is that he is not any less scary now that we see him than the last 5 acts have built him up to be.
I think it really is more that we as The Reader just want him to be worth the hype. His bit with the end of the Banner nonsense was helpful in building up the concept. Plus, y'know, man knows how to make an entrance.
I have some much bigger fears about Lord English. To recap: Doc Scratch insisted that he appears in every universe eventually, to end it. He is summoned forth by the death of the First Guardian in that universe, who arrives by way of Sburb. The First Guardian is the host, literally, and also appears in some form in every universe.
The First Guardian is created by Sburb by way of crazy ectobiology crap, a combination of objects and a Crazy Code imparted to any number of players destined to enter the session. In Alternia's universe, it was created from a book full of clown ranting and a well-traveled Lil' Cal. This created a First Guardian who looks and kinda acts like Cal with a cueball for a head, and the instantiation of Lord English has elements of Cal's face and design, suggesting he inherits the properties of the creation as well.
I've got this being knot of questions about who's trying to accomplish what, vis a vis Lord English and his Guardians, and the Dark Gods who've made some contradictory influences on the course of the story. But that's a much bigger writing.
The First Guardian of Earth's universe was made of Rose's Book of Crazy and a dog, in the form of Becquerel. Becquerel became part of Jadesprite, who was then subsumed by Jade when she ascended to the Dog Tiers.
In other words, Jade is now, in some unquantifiable but visible degree, part First Guardian.
Y'know, host of Lord English. Maybe. In some degree.
Having seen what that meant in practice for Doc Scratch, I don't need to tell you how to speculate on that.
