Lantern oaths. What’s your favorite?

I added the different version of the red lantern one that Razer says. I didn’t add Aya’s cause hers didn’t actually work :(

Sorry I also didn’t add the black or white lantern oath. Maybe I’ll do a separate post for those.

And here’s the English version (or a version so to speak) of the indigo lantern oath.

I think my favorites are the red and green lantern oaths. :D

The Cybertronian Members of the Lantern Corps (A Concept)

So here’s the idea: The Cybertronian Civil War has finally and truly ended. Megatron has surrendered, and the Decepticons and Autobots have struck up a peace. And thanks to this, many old records from Iacon have been recovered and Cybertron has once again opened up trade and travel with the galaxy, becoming an active participant of the universe… which gets the attention of the various Lantern Corps of DC. So many new Rings find new owners from the various members of Cybertronian Society.

(Side note I’ll be focusing on four Lantern Corps since I know more about them than the others)

(ALSO note that this is MAINLY IDW Comics inspired)

There would be one UNIQUE Lantern, who would become the main threat to many and would be the reason there are once again Black Lanterns… Overlord. He would be both a Red and Yellow Lantern, harnessing Rage and Fear for his own gain. So a new battle would have to begin.

Imagine the reader from my beloved became a blue lantern after facing off with her mother or the league. If you don't know, the blue lantern corps power rings are fueled by hope.

DUDE DUDE DUDE

Okay, so this is actually really funny because I really love the Blue Lantern Corps. For the longest time, I was between being a blue lantern or an indigo lantern, and I had finally decided on Indigo because I feel like that compassion matches my personality rather than hope. I actually have an OC named Hina (who is literally just me with a different name) that is just a silly Indigo lantern. The whole background is that Indigo rings are given to reformed criminals but since the tribe in general is not flushed out as much as a Green or Blue lantern, I thought it would be cool to expand upon the idea of them.

I won't go into detail about it since that wasn't what the anon asked, but I can't help myself X3

Anywho, I would love to do a blue lantern reader but perhaps not for a continuation of My Beloved. I think the idea of hope would pair well with Damian's whole personality, especially considering a blue lantern's purpose is to heal and empower while Damian tends to be violent and brash. I would definitely be down to write something like this!

Downside of being a blue lantern fan is most blue lantern stuff revolves around the emblem only or the most famous blue lantern, the Flash. Now don't get me wrong, the Flash is cool and neat and his blue lantern uniform looked good(plus the lightning bolt didn't look half bad with the blue lantern emblem) but he was a temporary emergency member.

It's like if the most significant teacher ever for a school was that one sub from another school that came in for an hour that one time. Like yeah they may have done great and may have changed some kids lives but they shouldn't be the most significant teacher!

While checking for who was the most iconic white lantern by searching "white lantern" into a Google search I found something that proves my point

All permanent members except Blue and White

Reasons why Clark Kent Should not be a Blue Lantern (Hope) and Jonathan Kent Should

Image Received from the Blue Lantern DC Database page

Note: I know very little about the Lantern Corps as I am only now trying to understand the roles they play in DC Comics. Also, this post will not be taking a specific adaptation of either Clark or Jon in consideration. In other words, this is more of a general reading of their overall character traits in correlation with what the Lantern Corps represents.

With that said, I do think Clark Kent fits the role of a Green Lantern (will-power) more than a Blue Lantern (hope). In addition, I would prefer, if given the option, to see Jonathan Kent’s character receive a Blue Lantern ring over his father.

1. Based on my very limited knowledge (and a quick Google search) Clark Kent has never been a Blue Lantern (hope) before but has had a Green Lantern ring (will-power). I feel that when you have a DC character who is as well-known and who has been around for as long as Clark has, this development would have been made already. Although I know that there are many characters with the same description who have yet to been a lantern at all, I feel like with how important the word “hope” is to the Superman persona if Clark Kent were to be a Blue Lantern he would have been one by now.

2. Just because Clark has adopted what is now considered the Superman “S” logo, which originally meant Hope in Kryptonian, it does not mean he personally embodies the Kryptonian definition. The usage of the symbol is more of a representation of what his biological parents viewed him as. He is seen by them as the physical embodiment of hope for the kryptonian culture, race, and overall El bloodline. In multiple origin story remakes for Clark Kent, his biological parents encrusted his starcraft with the “S” symbol which could be interpreted as how they viewed their son’s destiny or fate. The same could be seen to versions of his story which gives Clark a blanket of the same symbol.

3. Green Lantern Clark Kent makes more sense to me than a Blue Lantern one. This point is a bit more of a personal one, however; it is still worth stating. When it comes to Clark Kent’s actions or personality, I don’t see him as someone who is spreading hope towards other comic characters as much as I see him as a person who provides ease and protection. To me, many of the characters in DC Comics see him as someone who is powerful, strong willed, determined, a protector of humanity, and as a person who is detected to their overall well being. It is these characteristics which define Clark as a better Green Lantern (will-power) than a Blue Lantern (hope).

4. Blue Lanterns (Hope) are at their strongest with an active Green Lantern (will-power) by their side. Although Clark Kent is a team player when it comes to crime fighting, he can handle his own. On the other hand, Jonathan Kent has always been shown as a young hero who values teamwork and feels too much pressure of becoming his father when he works on his own. With that said, despite the fact that it is unlikely to have Jonathan always be with a Green Lantern (will-power), it would be more accepted by readers for Jonathan to have one by his side than it would be for Clark. Especially if Jonathan Kent is a Blue Lantern (hope) when he is still young and is finding his footing in the hero world.

5. Blue Lanterns (hope) are supposed to be able to provide hope to others. They are meant to inspire those around them even in the darkest of times or battles. Jonathan has shown this before with specific examples provided in both the Super-Sons Rebirth line and the current (at least in time with when this was posted) Superman: Son of Kal-El line. We have been shown in other runs too that Jonathan Kent’s personality and character does directly give hope to others. With Clark Kent’s persona, it is much less hope than it is relief and comfort.

6. This last point is the far more dark and cool way I imagine Jonathan Kent would become a Blue Lantern (hope). I think a great way to introduce a Blue Lantern (hope) Jonathan Kent is by killing off his father. Jonathan then feels pressure to live up to his father’s legacy. After the grief he feels he takes time for himself. After a break, he feels the impact and the reaction of the public. Realizing his place in this would he continue to fight. Him, taking on the role of Superman, inspires and embeds new hope to the world. From there, once the first large world ending situation occurs, he becomes a Blue Lantern.

Bright Hope, Mighty Will

The Green Lantern Corps have lost many members over its years— a risk that came with maintaining the peace as told by the Guardians. Most of the rings reassigned to a new member of its given sector but on occasion there would come those that were so attached to its wielder that they would not accept another unless they resonated with their predecessors ideals.

It’s one such ring that had been on Oa with no new lantern to wield it. Or it had been.

The Blue Lanterns were still a growing group with whom the Corps had a close alliance thanks to their symbiotic relationship; after all a Blue power ring was at its highest potential when near a Green power ring and vice versa. So why not look for users together?

The rings were set off as a pair in an attempt to create a powerful Union and birthing the most powerful duo either Corps had ever seen.

Meanwhile in Sector 2814, on the third planet from its star— Earth, a small family from the Midwest were camping out in the woods after their youngest begged to see the shooting stars where they’d be the most visible. The oldest child explained to their parents that it was a good way to channel the younger’s passion for space and science much like their own. Everything had been well until the elder duo’s sensors brought up a strange signature from deeper in the wood— Ecto-entities or ghosts as they’d called them. Before being able to drag the children with them the youngest stood his ground and refused to be taken away from his stars, the elder assured that she could take care of her younger brother and that they’d be fine alone (they were alone even when in the same house more often than not)

The sun had since set, the telescope set up, blanket had been laid with snacks for them to consume as they sat in wait with jackets to help with the night chill. The duo sat near the campfire as the younger's anticipation grew but the thought of their parent's absences did as well. They'd been left home alone before but they were only 8 and 10 years old, in the middle of the wilderness with no way to guide them back home or even find where their parent's ghost hunting led them.

"Don't worry little brother, I'm sure mom and dad will be back soon"

"Ye-yeah! Besides mom knows how to kick butt, they'll be fine"

"Look!"

The duo took their gazes to the skies as the twinkling night was accompanied by steaks of white dashing by. The older grabbed her slightly old model camera and took photos of the unsuspecting boy's awe filled gaze before he could complain. He stuck his tongue out at her before turning to his telescope, doing his best to follow the streaks in the sky until no longer visible to him. The girl just took to taking some more photos to show their parents once they'd returned. It'd go on for a while like that, the stars as their only witnesses as they joked around.

"Hey that one's green! And that one's blue!"

She lifted her head from looking at her camera's saved photos to find the twin streaks flying together, a quick click of her camera to save such a strange occasion. She wasn't an astronomy expert but she didn't think shooting stars came in those colors. Taking her gaze off of the small screen and looking back up she noted the bigger size.

"Are they getting closer?"

"Maybe they'll land near here. How cool would it be to see them up close?!"

It was as though those words triggered something as the two stars seemingly stopped flying and began their rapid descent. Straight for them.

"They're headed right for us!"

"Run!"

The duo quickly picked up their discarded flashlights and began running away from the clearing their parents had chosen. No matter how fast or further away they got the stars still trailed towards them. The numerous twists and turns never deterring the streaks of light, even as the elder held the younger's hand in an iron grip to prevent them from losing each other or as the younger turned them around and took haphazard turns in an effort to get them away.

"Everything's gonna be alright!"

She panted as they approached another clearing, no idea where their own was but still looking and seeing the stars much closer to them, the lights were blinding. She felt her body get pushed aside and the roll of cold grass on her back, hair getting tangled with small twigs and a familiar but smaller body land on top of hers.

"Look out!"

They closed their eyes and braced for impact feeling a sudden breeze and a slight shake but nothing else. Until they heard different voices echo. Looking gazes and noticing the glowing eyes the other had they sat up--- only to be met by glowing, floating ----rings?

[Sentience located]

[Daniel James Fenton of Earth, you have been chosen]

[Jasmine Dahlia Fenton of Earth, you have been chosen]

[You have the ability to Overcome great fear]

[You have the ability to instill great Hope]

[Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps]

[Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps]

A bright flash of blue and green surrounded the duo, hands still clasped and feeling a tug on their unoccupied hands, the warmth traveling on their bodies before disappearing altogether.

"Jazz what are you wearing?"

"What am I wearing!? What are you wearing Danny? Is that your old astronaut costume?"

Jazz noted the blue ring on top of her opera gloved right hand, also clenching the handle of a blue lit lantern? She could feel her knee length puffy blue dress move with the night breeze but didn't feel cold. White boots with blue bottoms kicked a pebble to the side, hearing it hit the nearby lake. Given the full moon she took a gaze at her reflection, finding her usual teal ribbon replaced by a giant blue bow at the back of her head and her eyes glowing a brilliant blue.

Danny was busy looking at his green suit, looking much like the costume he wore in a near daily basis when he was five until he started school. His own white gloves had puffier cuffs which reminded him of the astronaut costumes he and Tucker had looked at online for Halloween the year before, green ring also on his right, shaking the green weird lamp in the process. He pulled at the black suspenders before joining Jazz at the lake. His raven locks now had a single green streak near his bangs and icy blues now a vivid green.

"Cool"

Jazz was panicking, wondering what this could mean; what was a Blue Lantern anyway? Why did it choose her? And why was Danny green?

"Whoa!" Her glowing eyes turned to Danny but couldn't find him, hearing the sudden clatter of something falling on the floor and seeing the lantern rolling on its side, had he fallen in the water?!

"Danny!"

"Up here!" her eyes widened as he little brother flew above her, laughing as he looped around in the air, "C'mon Jazz!"

"How did you do that?" her eyes never leaving the faintly green glowing boy, "Can I do that?"

[You can. Just have Hope]

Trusting the voice in her head she reassured herself that they would be fine before feeling the ground disappear from under her feet and got closer to Danny, dropping her own lantern next to Danny's. She felt her surprise turn into a smile before doing a cartwheel in the air and the giggles escape from her.

Neither took track of time as they flew above the clearing before Danny had the idea to race above the lake, streak of blue and green reflected on its surface as it rippled from their speed. It wasn't until they flew back to the clearing that they remembered--- they had no idea where they ran off to. There hadn't been a lake where they'd set up camp.

"Mo-mom and dad will find us Danny! We'll be okay" They had to be okay, they would be fine. The idea of flying above the trees to look for their clearing was tempting but she had no idea how long it would take; did these things run on batteries? Would the power run out soon? Can they even take off these outfits? It'd be weird to be stuck like this for forever. If mom and dad find them what will they think of the glowing? It reminded her a bit too much of how the ectoplasm in the basement glowed whenever she or Danny were dragged downstairs and the substance covered near all the surfaces (that's when they'd know dad was making them clean up)

Whilst Jazz marinated in her thoughts and worries Danny couldn't help but think if there was a way to ask for help, though even if they had phones he doubted they'd even have service or know how to guide help towards them.

[Activating Emergency Beacon for Sector 2814]

"Huh? Emergency beacon?"

"What was that Danny?" Jazz snapped out of her thoughts as she heard his confusion, noting the slight pulsing now coming from his ring.

"I-I think my ring asked for help?"

"...Let's hope that's a good thing "

The brother-sister duo took to sitting by the lake once more, still viewing the stars above and keeping an ear out for any sign of their parents--- they were never quiet for too long. Especially when 'ghost-hunting', not that ghosts actually existed.

They were starting to get hungry again, having not touched their assorted snacks before the whole fiasco began when a steak of green, followed by another, approached the horizon. The first stopped, the second following suit... Were they like them? It looked like two people flying now that they weren't moving so fast. They were too far to properly see but it looked like they were searching for something.

Danny's ring flared up in quick brilliant flash before going back to its blinking; it seemed that was the cue the two in the sky were looking for as they made their way towards them.

"I think that's our ride Jazzy"

The duo finally hovered above the lake shore, the surprise clear on their faces even as one had a mask on.

"Hello, I am Green Lantern John Stewart of Sector 2814" the first man with matching vivid green eyes like Danny elbowed the man next to him.

"Uhh and I'm Green Lantern Hal Jordan of Sector 2814" he said sheepishly, running his white gloved hand through brown locks of hair. "You're the ones who send the distress call, what sector are you from?"

"Sector?" the duo looked at each other confused before Jazz remembered what the rings had said. "I- I think they said 2814?"

The duo looked surprised, disbelief easily conveyed even though Mr. Jordan's mask, actually he seemed more surprised than Mr. Stewart. "I'm sorry but what planet are you from?"

"Earth? I mean its not like--- Are aliens real!?" Danny's wariness disappeared and hovered in the air as he said it, "That's so cool!"

"You two are Earth children then" Mr. Stewart's eyes gained a dark look as he said so, "How long have you had the rings?"

"Umm I'm not really sure" Danny turned to his sister for guidance only to find her rubbing her arm nervously "Maybe an hour or two?"

Mr. Jordan's look matched Mr. Stewart's, like they were mad but they didn't seem mad at them like the teachers would when they caught him and Tucker talking during class. It was like whenever mom and dad's inventions malfunction and they'd go to school with bruises. (Those days mom and dad would mention their teachers calling them, they were always busy with the portal and never answered)

"Do you know what those are?" Mr. Jordan bent down to Danny's level, pointing at the matching green ring. Danny looked at his and wiggled his fingers.

"Not really? The voice said welcome to the Green Lantern cops?"

"Close, little man" Mr. Jordan chuckled, "My friend and I are part of the Green Lantern Corps. We help protect the universe, pretty much space cops if ya ask me"

"You get to travel into space! Awesome!" Danny literally brightened as his green glow intensified. "But why isn't hers green?"

"Your friend is actually part of the Blue Lantern Corps. They're a little different from us but we work together from time to time. They like to spread hope throughout the universe"

"Hope. It said I had the power to instill great hope. But why me? And why did they choose him?" her voice wavered as she turned to Mr. Stewart with a grave lookin his eyes.

"That... That is something neither of us can answer for you" he admitted, a solemn lookin his eyes as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "But we'll do our best to help you two with this"

"Its unprecedented for either Corps to choose children" Mr.Jordan frowned before looking towards Danny again, "What are you two doing in the middle of the woods?"

"I wanted to see the stars" Danny admitted sheepishly, all of this started from his request to their parents. They wouldn't be in this mess if he just watched from home like always, heck Mr. and Mrs.Foley had offered to take Danny and Tucker camping once school let out if he wanted to (but no he couldn't wait a month, he needed them now). "So mom and dad brought us camping but then the stars--- the rings started chasing us and we got lost"

"That must of been scary huh guys?" Mr.Jordan gave a look to Mr.Stewart and the man walked away a bit, placing a finger into his ear and whispering. How weird.

"So you guys are siblings?" he turned to Jazz, she just nodded slowly, took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. She kept rubbing the blue ring on her hand as she did. "Do you guys mind telling me your name?'

Jazz still had that worried look in her eyes, like when she knew the turkey would come back to life in any second but mom kept saying it'd be fine. (Jazz was always right, it was always the same every Christmas). His sister liked to think she was a grown up and didn't get nervous talking with strangers but she was still a kid like him. He would be brave for Jazz!

"I'm Danny and that's my big sis Jazz"

"Its nice to meet you two, or well at least know your names now?"

"Jordan"

"Hold right there"

The two adults just kept talking in whispers, looking back at them every few seconds, Jazz wasn't sure what to make of them but they were the ones who knew the most about the situation. Danny also had a pretty good sense for people and they seemed friendly but she also knew better than to trust complete strangers. Stranger danger was very much ingrained to them at a young age. Jazz knew it was rude but couldn't help but hear Mr.Jordan's outburst of "Seriously, nothing? Its been hours"

It seemed like forever before the adults came back and gave them strained smiles in turn.

"Well kids we're going to help you guys find your camp and make sure you get back to your parents" Mr.Jordan winked.

"We'll also explain more about the rings and what they mean while we wait. Sounds like a plan?" Mr. Stewart made sure to look at them in the eyes and didn't move until they both nodded in agreement.

"Okay"

The brother-sister duo didn't know what they were getting into when they went camping that day but everything was in motion, a new path diverging in time to create a brilliant new future; tragedy, love, and courage would always be on their path no matter how much he'd tried to avoid, it was inevitable. He could only witness as they embarked on this journey together and bring about the Rebirth with allies at their sides.

And he couldn't wait to meet them again, in due time.

After the Cybertronian Civil War, when the Decepticons lost and declared for a peace, Megatron was asked to leave Cybertron, which he did, honoring the wishes of the people. He traveled to galaxy, learning about all the damages HIS war caused in the name for a twisted version of Justice. Eventually he settled down on a liminal populated planet, lending aid when asked, and coming to peace with the nature around him. Eventually, he began to practice old Cybertronian spiritual practices to get in touch with his inner being. It was him doing this that eventually brought the attention of the Blue Lanterns, or at least a Blue Lantern Ring. It decided to test Megatron, doing the classic Blue Lantern test. And surprisingly, Megatron stayed vigilant. So he was allowed to become a Blue Lantern. 

Now helped spread hope and helps out the Green Lanterns, being the heavy hitting knowledgeable team member. He even returned to Cybertron to help recruit some Green Lanterns.

DC's Hispanic Heritage Month variant covers by Pablo Villalobos

[justwannabecat]

Danny knew that he couldn’t let himself lose control.

Ever since Vlad had gone too far, and he had lost his family, he had to remind himself that things were going to be better, to have some hope for the future.

It didn’t seem to matter when he was filled with such all-consuming rage though.

Still, he found a couple of magic rings. He hates wearing them, they hurt so much, but he needs the power boost they give him.

He will not fail again.

(Or; Danny is both so angry, yet has such hope for his future that both a Red and a Blue Lantern Ring choose him at the same time.)
