The dysfunctional family
The scenario is how the dysfunctional lantern family spends the holidays together. You take a template, slap some text on it that the character would say, then post it. Not to be confused with Murder Burger, a different alternate lantern setting.
History
Holiday Lanterns are, for lack of a better term, a meme originating on /co/ during Thanksgiving of 2009. The original thread was popular enough to have a continuation and then be replicated again during the following Christmas with another continuation until expanding to just about every notable holiday.
Characters
The personalities of the characters are primarily either over-exaggerations of the comic characters they are based on, or the emotion their ring represents ramped way up.
- Atrocitus - He always finds something to be angry about.
- Larfleeze - Is still Larfleeze. He wants more than what he has and takes other people's stuff. Doesn't like sharing.
- Sinestro - He makes offhand comments that make you paranoid and afraid. Also has a weird obsession with making things damp if anyone has a really good counter to his fear (i.e. damp socks for Christmas)
- Hal - He makes other people go along with his plans, because his willpower makes it so. Also very competitive.
- Guy - The asshole uncle who pulls pranks.
- Kyle - His existence is suffering and to be the butt of every refrigerator joke.
- Walker - Forever optimistic and always finds the bright side.
- Indigo-1 - She's like that mom that always makes you share.
- Carol - She's the MILF aunt that makes passes at the younger party guests.
- Black Hand - He sees everything as an opportunity for someone to die.
In later years, new additions were added to the cast.
- Razer - He's that emo teen that hates everyone and all traditions; he won't do anything nice without explaining why he doesn't care.
- Dex-Starr - Evil cat that hates everyone.
- GLTAS Kilowog and Hal - The overly proud parents who always show off how much better their kid is than yours.
- Aya - A naive newcomer. Later becomes obsessed with how illogical organics are while going through her goth phase. Then comes out of that and goes back to normal.
- Soranik Natu - The embarrassed daughter of Sinestro who is still treated like a kid despite having her own life.
- Alan Scott - That asshole old person who makes really inappropriate comments because 'they're just from a different time'.
- Earth-2 Alan Scott - The gay brother/cousin who always wants to bring his partner to dinner.
- GLTAS Carol - The perfect girlfriend.
- Hope Corgi - He's a dog, he likes hugs.
- Grey Lantern Corps. - They're not even trying to be in on this.
