#green lantern corps

[incorrect-green-lantern-quotes]

This is what a funeral on Oa looks like. One of the Guardians of the Universe was murdered and is being put to rest within the Central Power Battery itself, becoming one with the energy that powers the Green Lantern Corps.

Green Lantern (2021) Issue #2

There isn't any emotional weight to this scene, largely because Koyos is some random Guardian of the Universe who was introduced in the previous issue and not a character with a long history like Ganthet or Sayd. Still, it does give us some insight into some of the practices of the Corps.

Notice the modified uniforms that John, Kilowog, and Guy are wearing. Earlier in the issue, John refers to this as "mourning dress." When you take into consideration the context of the Emotional Spectrum, it's rather symbolic that the funeral attire of a Green Lantern is almost all the color of death, with only hints of their usual green present. White, the color of life, is totally absent. Also the glowing sigil of the Corps on the chest being the only light amidst the darkness? Chef's kiss.

Now you may have noticed that Hal and Kyle look more like their usual selves (actually Kyle is wearing his post-Ion uniform but he changes his outfit so often I genuinely don't know if this was intended or a continuity error). They're not actually there, and are instead projecting constructs of themselves across the universe. Crazy stuff, though previous comics have established that this is something that GLs are capable of.

Now, Nemosyne's narration indicates that this is a funeral rite that is unique to Maltusians. Which does line up with the established canon that fallen Green Lanterns are usually interred in the Crypts of Oa- at least, the ones whose remains could be recovered and presumably weren't delivered to family.

Granted, that crypt did get emptied out during Blackest Night, so how cool would it have been if this kind of ceremony was now the norm for the Corps? Imagine if the Central Battery that is the source of the power they wield and the symbol they wear in life, is also the final resting place for those who make the ultimate sacrifice in service to the Green Lanterns' sacred oath. Becoming one with the willpower that charges their power rings, strengthening their family from beyond the grave.

The Green Lantern Corps in Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1

[savanir]

The What Corps?

“we have you now spook! there is nowhere you can run and hide with our new spectral tethers active!”

Danny winces at the small metal clips that have hooked themselves in his leg, some new GIW tech that is messing with his powers.

“oh yeah? I was just dying for you guys to give me a challenge” plan. plan. He's gotta think of a plan to get out of here and fast. He takes a steadying breath and starts to look for anything that can help him.

he can’t get caught here. He just can't. He simply won’t allow himself.

suddenly the two GIW goons in front of him click their earpieces to clearly listen to what someone else is telling them, Danny is very glad for his own enhanced senses.

“Operatives K and O, be advised, there have been sightings of a new ectoplasmic entity near your location. Other operatives report that it’s incredibly small and moves fast. watch your backs, this may be an ambush”

small and fast? it better not be some poor little blob ghost, Danny sort of hopes it’s some manner of ectowasp, at least that could be entertaining to see.

“you better not be hoping for back up, ecto scum”

“I have no idea what you are talking about”

It's then that a small bright green light zips on scene and weaves through crowds in the distance with ease and then speeds up towards the two operatives who do not hesitate to shoot, missing completely like the storm troopers they are.

Whatever it is, it is indeed going very fast but Danny manages to figure out what it looks like and it appears to be a… ring?

“hold it you tiny accessory shaped ecto fiend!”

The ring does a speedy circle around Operative O while K is lining up a shot and ends up blasting the poor guy point blank in his face, “O!”

Danny takes a step forward with an arm outstretched and a “oh damn! Are you alright?” on his lips when the ring takes the chance to slip on his finger. “Daniel Fenton of Earth”

Danny already had a freakout about a ghost jewelry getting on him, his experiences with those so far have been incredibly bad after all, what with the rings and crowns and pendants��� now this damn thing is just straight up outing him! 

Thank the ancients the two GIW stooges are too busy with each other right now to pay close attention to what this weird ring is saying.

“You have the ability to overcome great fear” ah so this is related to him steeling himself just now? Maybe? or something??

You have been chosen” never good, we are back to freaking out again.

“Welcome to the green lantern corps” 

… the what?

Danny notices that his usual outfit suddenly has more green going on, and his DP symbol has some sort of… he guess it’s supposed to be a lantern, maybe? shape around it.

He’s somehow even more glowy now, and there is something on his face. Feeling its shape makes him think it’s some sort of mask.

The metal clip things are no longer attached to his legs though so that’s great!

“You’re not getting away so easily ecto scum! sentient ghost paraphernalia coming to your rescue or no!” They both aim their weapons to take a shot.

Danny figures he can now easily hold them back with his usual shields,“you guys realize you just called this weird ring sentient and thereby negate the whole nonsentie-ack!”

“Attacking a corps lantern is punishable offense as of the instatement of the galactic diplomatic immunity as declared by the-” Okay so now Danny is just raising his eyebrow at this weird as fuck ring. Just what is it going on about?

“notifying nearby lanterns and requesting assistance with apprehension of hostiles”

what?

“getting your friends to help you out vile spook? such a thing is useless with the Blackout still very much in place”

Well… the two streaks of green light in the distance is making Danny doubt that statement.

Maybe there is more to this Lantern corps thing than he thought… And something tells him his life is about to get even more complicated than it already is.

throwing this on here bc i havent posted in a while n i think its silly

[frownyalfred]

eldritch green lantern ideas:

ring slowly starts fusing with the finger it's on until one day the finger just glows, there's no more ring

bleeding green (duh)

so willful that reality tends to bend around them in small instances, like coffee always being warm or never having to wait for the elevator, or someone nearby tripping

the ring stops translating other languages because they just start understanding/speaking them eventually

the constructs chosen by Earth Lanterns stop looking like Earth items and more alien, older, ancient

Lanterns slowly forgetting to take off their uniforms and just start wearing them all the time

separating them from their ring will cause very, very bad things to happen

not eating or drinking for several days, then several weeks, then several months at a time without noticing

unintentionally feeding (mentally) off of strong-willed people, and even encouraging disagreement just to sit in the middle of it and feel something almost warm again

Hal: I'm only the cool uncle because I don't have kids. If I did, I'd be considered an irresponsible deadbeat parent.

Kyle: Yeah, so I got this power ring because the guy before me crashed out but I'm supposed to live up to his legacy despite having no clue what I'm doing.

Hal: Oh no.

Kyle: Also I was raised by a single mom.

Hal: *visibly sweating, his hair turning white*
