Things in my brain

[fbhjr]

I started thinking the other day about what it might have been like if
Superman landed in Middle Earth instead of regular Earth.

This quickly led me to think of the Lord of the Rings down with Green
Lantern power rings instead of the ones in the story.
But, now I’m not sure what rings should go to which group.

In the Green Lantern comic, there are a bunch of different rings based on
the color spectrum that equate to different emotions that power them:
Red=Anger
Orange=Greed
Yellow=Fear
Green=Willpower
Blue=Hope
Indigo=Compassion
Violet=Love
White=Life
Black=Death

I’m not sure how that would connect to the:
3 for Elves
7 for Dwarves
9 for Men
1 for Sauron

I think the Dwarves would get the orange one. In the stories it is pretty
clear that they can be taken over by greed.
Would the 9 be yellow? Everyone seems to be afraid of the Nazgul.
Sauron’s seems to get a lot of folks killed, but it also seems to have a
lot of willpower aspects to it.

What colour is turnip?

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Kind of a purple.
Given your love of them, that seems right...

The black one to Sauron ... :D
And the Indigo one to the Elves? NOT to Thranduil, though!

You're right. Another orange ring for Thranduil or maybe even red.

This is actually a pretty awesome concept to think about for a genre-cross :D

Sauron is definitely not sporting a Blue, Indigo or Violet ring.

I'd say the 9 of Men would be White/Life, since it's their destiny to inherit M.E. after the other races fade away
Galadriel would certainly have Green, which color also compliments Lothlorien ;D

Maybe the number of rings include sets of a specific, like 3 Orange, 3, Hope, 3 White to make up the 9 for Men

this is nerd fun at it's best!

You think the Nazgul should have white rings?
I don't think that fits undead power mongers at all...

Ooooh whoops *face/palm*

To the nazgul - yellow
to the dwarfs - orange
to the elves- white
Sauron - black
