So um. I was travelling last week, which is why I wasn’t able to finish this on the 20th, but oh well I guess….

WHICH LANTERN RINGS YUUMORI CHARACTERS WOULD WEAR?

This is a more silly post, beware. I am also a big fan of comic books (more into DC) and I often wonder what lantern rings characters from other media would wear if there happened to be lantern rings in their universe. The lantern rings are specific weapons in the DC Universe what powered by certain emotions. The emotion connected to the ring needs to be the driven emotion of someone to make them able to wear the ring. The different rings are (now I am leaving out the more obscure white/life, black/death and ultraviolet rings and concentrate on the basics):

Here's a little introduction to each ring, I try to keep it very generic now, since the Lantern lore is quite confusing.

GREEN 🟩

Emotion: willpower

Weakness: yellow/fear, red/rage and orange/greed rings

Strength: the blue/hope ring makes its power stronger

Oath:

"In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might,

Beware my power, the Green Lantern's light!"

RED 🟥

Emotion: rage

Weakness: the blue/hope, the violet/love and the orange/greed rings

Strength: able to overpower the green/will ring

YELLOW 🟨

Emotion: fear

Weakness: the blue/hope and the orange/greed rings

Strength: able to overpower the green/will ring

BLUE 🟦

Emotion: hope

Weakness: needs green/will ring to function well

Strength: immune to orange/greed, overpowers the red/rage and yellow/fear rings, makes the green/will stronger

VIOLET 🟪

Emotion: Love

Strength: immune to the orange/greed rings; through its light, a Violet Lantern can see their true love and even teleport to them anytime

(At DC, usually only women wear the violet ring but now I overlook this rule since this post is rather just to analyze what emotions are the main motivation behind the characters' action.)

INDIGO

Emotion: compassion

Strength: emotional spectrum emulation (able to copy the other rings' powers)

ORANGE 🟧

Emotion: greed/avarice

Strength: can create an avatar (a corrupted version of their victims) from anyone they killed, can absorb other rings' energies

Weakness: blue/hope and violet/love rings are immune to them.

Oath: Mine, mine, mine!

Now, onto the characters and my choices for them.

SHERLOCK:

Green/willpower. Especially with the lantern oath.

JOHN:

As one of the purest characters in the series, blue/hope. He is also one of Sherlock's greatest supports, both morally and in his fight against criminals. John would cleaely be a Blue Lantern.

WILLIAM:

I can see either green/will or indigo/compassion for him, but somewhat also blue/hope - tho, because of his methods of how he tried to bring that hope, I would be hesitant to give him the blue.

LOUIS:

I don't know what would I give to post-timeskip Louis, but pre-timeskip, he was clearly driven by the love he felt for William (the love lantern ring is not necessarily powered by romantic love. It can be familial love, too), so I would say violet/love.

MORAN:

Currently, I would say maybe green/will, but I'm sure that before he met William, he would have worn a red/rage ring. Especially after what happened to his comrades.

FRED:

Fred gives me indigo/compassion vibes, especially his love for the garden, the stray cats and how he acted during the Baskervilles arc. I would give him an indigo ring.

MYCROFT:

As the personification of the government, I can see both green/will and yellow/fear 🟨 for him.

MILVERTON:

With his power hunger, I think he would totally be greed/orange. I can see the yellow/fear, too, with how much fear he causes with his blackmails, but his power obsession rather makes him to be orange, especially that only one person can wear an orange ring at the same time at DC because of their overweening greed. Also, creating and using the corrupted version of anyone he killed as avatars would be a very Milverton thing to do. Merciless and evil.

RUSKIN:

Ruskin would be clearly violet/love since he is very much motivated by the love he has for his boss (and what he demonstrates by running after him to the burning room instead of escaping). A violet/love ring is also immune to the orange/greed light so he would be capable of being Milverton's company. Throught the violet light, a Violet Lantern can see their true love and even teleport to them anytime what would be very useful to Ruskin serving his boss.

I left out the others because I have absolutely no idea. Feel free to suggest ideas! I am interested in what you think!

Top 5 knightly/paladin oaths sworn by a character?

This will be in no particular order. I'm bad at making choices.

The Grey Warden's oath in Dragon Age.

"In peace, vigilance; in war, victory; in death, sacrifice."

I disagree with a lot of choices in Dragon Age, this oath is not one of them. Simple, evocative, and grim.

2. The Oath of Vengeance from 5e

"Fight the Greater Evil. Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.

No Mercy for the Wicked. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.

By Any Means Necessary. My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes.

Restitution. If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds."

I was originally gonna include oath of the watchers instead, but Vengeance feels more ubiquitous. Watchers is good, but shines better in very specific campaigns. Vengeance can be taken anywhere, and it can be a deeply personal oath against a specific foe, or a grim promise to endlessly oppose the very concept of something you hate. (If I ever play Baroret again, I'm changing him from ancients to vengeance.)

3. The Green Lantern Oath

"In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s light."

It'd just feel wrong not to include this one.

4. bending the rules a bit to include the Assassin's Creed, since they aren't really knights or paladins/paladin-adjacent.

""Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember: Nothing is true. Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember: Everything is permitted. We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.""

I mostly like this one because of how other characters come to understand it, especially Edward Kenway, who if I recall correctly, says that it's the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

5. While I have yet to read the stormlight archive, I am partial to the Immortal Words Of The Knights Radiant, one of which being:

"Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination"

IN BRIGHTEST DAY IN BLACKEST NIGHT NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVIL’S MIGHT BEWARE MY POWER GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT—

[hallsjordanss]

In brightest day

In blackest night

No evil shall escape my sight

Let those who worship evils might

Beware my power

GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT.

What- What even is this...? Why send me such stuff, Anon?

It is eerily familiar, but i do not recall it well.

[rpking99]

So a bit of a pet peeve of mine

I am SO ANNOYED that we've never had a depiction of the Green Lantern Oath done properly.

In EVERY show or game that either almost whisper it or they say in a serious chant at normal speaking volume

The two big examples I can think of are in the Ryan Reynolds movie where in the final fight he basically mumbles it to himself, or in the Injustice 2 game where Hal basically pants it out while resisting a red ring being put on his finger

Just... NO!

NO!

The oath is supposed to be big, dramatic and boisterous

It's supposed to be a ROAR. With high emphasis on certain words like you're spitting it out.

Especially in moments like that.

In Brightest Day. In Blackest Night. No Evil Shall escape My Sight! Let those who worship evils might, Beware My Power! GREEN! LANTERS! LIGHT!

Like... How hard is that?!

The closest we got is that one time in Justice League when John Steward absorbed the whole Power Battery during the Manhunters fight

For anyone wondering, yes, Chloe will be reformed in my DC Universe AU, and I have already chosen what she will be. Here’s a scene to give you an idea:

Chloe: *standing between Adrien, Marinette, and Sinestro*

Sinestro: *sarcastic* Oh, how precious. Another little earthling playing “hero.”

Chloe: Sinestro, for crimes committed on this planet and countless others, you are under arrest.

Sinestro: *laughs* And what authority do you have to arrest me?

Chloe: I’ll give you a hint. *puts on a ring* In brightest day in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight…

Sinestro: WHAT?! ANOTHER ONE?!

Chloe: *slowly suiting up* Let those who worship evil’s might…

Sinestro: *tries to blast them but is shocked to see a blonde Green Lantern girl shielding them*

Chloe : *takes the shield down* Beware my power… *blasts him, sending him flying* Green Lantern’s Light.

i. 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡

Of the many twists that altered the course of his life, one stood out—a legacy chosen, not given lightly. Few are ever summoned by the unyielding will of the ring, and fewer still rise to the honor of being called a Green Lantern. He was not prepared, not at first. The lessons came hard, each trial a conquest, delving deep into the chasms of Earth and the infinite reaches of space.

To ward off evil, to confront fear—it sounded so straightforward, almost simple. But the oath held a power greater than its words: "Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power—Green Lantern's light." The weight of it hit like a meteor, an overwhelming charge of responsibility that electrified his being and redefined his purpose.

He had always admired heroes from a distance, their battles grand and unattainable. Never had he dreamed that sheer willpower would find him worthy, would gift him a legacy spanning generations. It was more than a calling—it was destiny woven into the fabric of his potential, recognized before he saw it in himself.

And now, he bore it: a ring of unrelenting power, a beacon against the darkness. A symbol not just of what he could do, but of who he was destined to become.

With every mission, the weight grew heavier and yet, somehow lighter. The ring was no mere tool—it was an extension of his soul, bound to the fire of his will. It demanded not just strength but clarity, a focus that carved through doubt like a blade through shadow. It wasn’t the power that defined him, but how he chose to wield it.

He learned that courage wasn’t the absence of fear but the refusal to yield to it. There were moments when the darkness seemed infinite, when the threats before him felt insurmountable. Yet, in the stillness of those moments, the ring would hum with quiet reassurance, a steady pulse that reminded him: the light never fades for those who believe in it.

The stars became his companions, their vastness a canvas for his will. Planets in peril, civilizations on the brink, and the endless whisper of the void—these were the arenas of his new life. He was no longer a mere observer of heroism; he was its vessel, its guardian, its torchbearer.

C.M. Top 10: Heroes who've fallen in the line of duty &/or heroics.

Every hero has their 1st moments to be the best hero they can be. But sadly just as the hero rises to the occasion to prove his worth....they sometimes fall saving the ones they love & swore to protect. We must never forget our heroes or forget their strengths that make them who they are. Their courage, their will, their kindness & above all willing to sacrifice themselves so that others may live to tell their children of the kindness & heroism they've shown.

So this ten features the heroes of all kinds who gave their life protecting the innocent. Which hero will you always remember? You be the judge of that. & may they rest in peace...

(I know, I know he's technically still alive but don't get me wrong he's had a few close calls in the past of literally no return. & he has sacrificed himself once or twice so I'm gonna count it this one time. Trust me if it wasn't for fan-service, he would've had the old classic Thanos Fade in a heartbeat years ago.)

6. Pacific Rim the Black - Atlas Destroyer/Loa

"You will get there. I will ensure it."

7. RWBY - Pyrrha Nikos

Remnant's Green Lantern

After Sunsprite and her friends defeated Salem, she looks to the statues of her father Jaune, and mother Ruby. Built following the events of 2nd Great War. With the Crocea Mors of the Arc, Sunsprite used her silver eyes to seal Salem for good. But knew she has to be ready for the next time she appears.

Though it might take years, Sunsprite needs to be ready. To train future generations of huntsmen and huntresses. To protect Remnant.

"Mom, Dad, you can rest now. The war may be over, but Salem will return. But please, don't just support me, but also everyone else who want to do good in Remnant." Sunsprite pleaded.

As Sunsprite prays in front of the memorial statues, a Green light streaks from the sky like a shooting star. As the light reaches closer to Sunrpite, she looks after it shines behind her.

As she sees the light, it was a ring. Radiating to her presence.

The ring then began to speak. "Sunsprite Arc. Brave and heart of gold. Heiress of Clan Arc. Daughter of Jaune Arc and Ruby Rose. Because of your bravery and encouragement to defeat Salem, your duty is far from over."

Sunsprite blinks as she hears the voice. Confused for how the ring was speaking to her. As if she is chosen for a new destiny.

"What duty?" Asked Sunsprite. "What am I chosen for?"

"You have been selected to become a warrior of will and protection. What lies ahead is not just Remnant, but also beyond it." The ring adds. "With this ring, you will be granted the power of the Infinite and Unbound. You will become a Green Lantern."

Sunsprite stood still as she held her hand out. Not sure why she felt the need to accept this. But maybe she wants to do more good. Maybe something more to help others beyond Remnant. She placed her father's sword back into her sheath on the side of her waist.

Then the ring illuminates a light beam formed around Sunsprite. The beam lifts her off the ground. Pulling her into the sky. It startled her at first before wondering where her journey would take her next. She is now a Green Lantern of Remnant.

The ring slipped into her finger after floating towards her. Her armory became enhanced in green with a bodysuit. Her Boots are also green. And her Rose Emblem given to her by her mother was glowing in green light.

Then the scripts that were written in a planetary language was translated to English. Sunsprite reads like it was a poetry to recite.

"In brightest day, in darkest night. No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might! Beware my power! Green Lantern's light!"
