Which Ponies would be in which Lantern Corp · 11:01pm Aug 26th, 2012
I got bored and decided to think about which ponies would be inducted into which Lantern Corp. Anyway, enjoy
Red Lantern
Rage (Red) - Pinkie Pie
Why? Red Lanterns are chosen based on a specific kind of rage. Rage that is born of personal loss, such as the death of a loved one. So why Pinkie Pie? Well, in Party of One, she goes crazy because she thinks she's losing her friends. (personal loss) that's why I believe she'd be a Red Lantern
Agent Orange
Avarice (Orange) - Scootaloo
The Orange light is centered in a single Orange Power battery. (In comics) The battery is represented as being in and of itself parasitic in nature, mentally suggesting to whomever is holding it to take whatever it wants. In one instance, a blue power ring described Larfleeze, (the keeper of the Orange Power battery) as "empty." Larfleeze seeks to fill the void within him by using the Blue Power of Hope. The reason I chose Scootaloo is because she is A; seeking her cutie mark,
and B; she seeks to be accepted by Rainbow Dash.
This isn't avarice or greed, but rather her seeking to fill emptiness I mentioned before.
Sinestro Corp
Fear (Yellow) - Discord
Why? Yellow Lanterns are chosen based on the individual's ability to strike fear into others. Discord manages to defeat the Elements of Harmony by making them afraid of their greatest virtue. He makes AJ afraid of the truth. He makes Pinkie afraid of being laughed at. He strikes fear into their hearts. Simple and straightforward explanation.
Green Lantern
Green (Courage/Willpower) - Applejack
Why? In the episode "Applebucking Season," Applejack single handedly saves Ponyville, managing to stop that stampede. In the same episode, she refuses to give up in her quest to harvest the orchard. Being a Green Lantern isn't about being fearless. It's about being strong enough to fight even when you're afraid. Applejack meets that criteria.
Blue Lantern
Blue (Hope) - Twilight Sparkle
Why? Because during the Discord arc, Twilight is confident that Discord will be defeated by her and her friends, and only loses hope when the elements fail. But then her hope is reignited, and she brings her friends back from being discorded. And also, the Blue Lanterns are considered to be the most powerful of the corps given that they can drain red and yellow power rings, and super charge green rings. Twilight is powerful too. See where I'm going with this? (Rhetorical question)
Indigo Tribe
Indigo (Compassion) - Blueblood
Why? In the Season One Finale, Blueblood pretty well establishes that he feels next to no emotions, save his own vanity and narcissism. The way he treats Rarity and Applejack (her wares) make him the perfect candidate for an indigo ring. In the comics, indigo rings only attach themselves to those who have no compassion, and prevent the wearer from feeling anything but compassion. It's also the perfect punishment for him.
Star Sapphire
Violet (Love) - Diamond Tiara
Why? If you know comics, you'll probably agree. The Star Sapphires are grade-A bitches. They are hellbent on making everyone become a Star Sapphire. Kind of like how Diamond Tiara wants everyone to be like her. (with a cutie mark)
If'n ya have any thoughts, feel free to comment, or disagree, or suggest a better candidate for a particular Corp.
Have a good evening y'all
I see a distinct lack of Rainbow Dash. This needs to be fixed at once.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Rainbow_Dash.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Rainbow_Dash_lolface.png
Found this blog by random chance when I was looking up Corps. symbols on google, so I decided to throw in my two bits.
Red Rage: Nightmare Moon, since it was Luna's jealousy and anger towards the ponies and her own sister that fueled her want to bask Equestria in enternal night.
Orange Avarice: Flim Flam brothers, it was their greed that motivated them to try and steal the Apple Family's business, and subsequently drive them out of Ponyville.
Yellow Fear: I guess Discord fits, I really can't think of anybody - OH WAIT IT JUST HIT ME! Pinkamena Diane Pie, the psycho cupcakes side of her personality. She practically gets off on the fear she instills in the ponies she murders.
Green Willpower: I agree with the Applejack candidate, don't know why, it just fits her for some reason.
Blue Hope: Personally I'd choose the CMC, but out of the three, I'd say Scootaloo is the best candidate. Just like her friends, she hopes to one day find her special talent, not only that but she never gives up in her pursuit of being able to fly like her idol and surrogate big sister, Rainbow Dash.
Indigo Compassion: If anypony resembles this light its Fluttershy, her element is Kindness, and what is kindness if not another form of compassion. She cares about her friends, and even is able to see the good in the god of chaos, Discord.
Violet Love: Princess Cadance, need I really go into detail as to why?
1304890 Zounds, someone commented! I must say, I do agree with your choices with the exception of Flutters. I was going for a more loyal to the comics analysis.
1313043 Yes, I do agree. However, if you recall, during the Blackest Night Ray Palmer (aka The Atom) was inducted into the Indigo Tribe for a 24 hour time span during the battle with Nekron. While yes the indigo ring does kind of do a brainwashing reform of the wearer, those who have true compassion are immune to this effect since they accepted the power of the ring, and even John Stewart (Green Lantern 3) took on the indigo power during the War of the Green Lanterns saga.
Well that's just how I see it anyway, to each their own.
1313753 Ah, yes, this is right. I did not consider that, and you are correct. Cheers
