Emotional Spectrum thoughts
When it comes to the "Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum", you usually are told that Rage, Avarice, and Fear are the "bad emotions" and Hope, Compassion, and Love are the "good emotions". Will being neutral (of sorts). Well, with the exception of Avarice, each emotion has its good and evil (often times it's something disguised as that emotion) uses.
Anger
Good uses: Anger, when used constructively, can lead to positive change and the elimination of evil. If someone does something bad (not necessarily illegal), but doesn't get punished for it, you feel angry at that injustice. If something evil happens, you feel angry at what happened and would be motivated to help. Or even form a protest. Another good example of this good anger is when you catch your S/O cheating on you.
Evil uses: Anger that's not controlled or tempered leads to indiscriminate destruction. It's what causes people to justify their acts of violence, and escalation, all in the name of justice. It's how riots are formed. Or even being mad at someone for holding a different opinion than yours.
Fear
Good uses: A healthy fear is needed in day-to-day life. It's what helps keep us out of danger. Without this healthy fear, we would probably just go out and pet wild animals or play in traffic.
Evil uses: Fear becomes bad when it's used to control others, and not for their own benefit. Don't do this and you'll be safer (deterrence) vs. Do this, or we'll take everything from you (coercion). This kind of fear is the weapon of tyrants.
Will
Good uses: When used correctly, willpower gives you the ability to face the bad cases of fear. To stand up for what's right (not necessarily what's popular). To keep yourself going even when the going gets tough.
Evil uses: Willpower becomes a detriment when used to dominate others. Or you become stubborn and unwilling to change, even if overwhelming evidence shows you're wrong.
Hope
Good uses: When one has the right hope, it motivates them to persevere, be creative, and have the courage to pursue your goals and aspirations.
Evil uses: Delusion can disguise itself as hope. It can blind them to reality and prevent them from changing. It leads to denial, unrealistic expectations, and disappointment.
Compassion
First and foremost, I'd like to get this out of the way. You can be empathetic but not compassionate. And you can be compassionate but not empathetic. Too many people nowadays confuse these two.
Good uses: Compassion simply says, "You're suffering, here let me help you." Which can be done in a multitude of ways. It's kindness and altruism. You might not fully understand what the person is going through, but you still desire to help them.
Evil uses: Compassion goes awry when others take advantage of that for selfish reasons or enabling behavior "Do this or I'll kill myself". It leads to emotional exhaustion and being taken advantage of.
Love
Good uses: Love, real love, wants what's best for someone. It wants them to be the best person they can be. It's not just a chemical in the brain. When you love someone, be it a friend, family member, or even a spouse. You are sometimes hard on them when they're doing something to their detriment. You are patient with them, you forgive them when they've wronged you. Love is what motivates you to protect them, to put your trust and hope in them, to try and make things work even when aren't going the best. Love is more than skin deep.
There's a reason it's said "For better or for worse" during a wedding.
Evil uses: Lust frequently disguises itself as love. Sure you might have a physical relationship with someone, but that doesn't mean you love them. Lust tends to focus on the "instant gratification" of pleasure rather than making an emotional connection. And while the feeling of passion might be strong for a season or two, they're going to eventually fall away. It's so good at disguising itself as love because it preys upon our needs for emotional connection/intimacy. It can cause one to ignore red flags in the relationship. Lust is only skin deep.

Okay yeah this is somewhat a continuation of the Ix and Mileena white lanterns piece.
Okay with indigo lanterns in comics continuity the indigo tribe is about repentance and atonement ... even though that its supposed to be compassion which is caring about others. And well Luke's story heavily focuses on atoning for his mistakes. Which is why Mieu is here too. Besides the red lanterns have a murder cat and the green lanterns have a squirrel, so why not give the Indigo tribe a flying bunny thing?
Okay with Tear I felt she didn't fit any of the other lanterns besides blue and violet. And I think Natalia takes up blue a bit better even if they could be interchangeable in terms of what lantern the could be.

I henceforth believe that Darkseid's greatest enemy is the Indigo Tribe.
The Indigo Tribe is EXCLUSIVELY made up of sadistic killers and criminals devoid of compassion. The reason they search for people like that is so they can try to rehabilitate them
Darkseid is the god of sociopathic shitbags who enjoys doing sociopathic shitbag things. If someone were to fit him with an Indigo Power Ring, he would be forced to feel compassion and thus feel horrible for actually being himself.
Think of the mental scars. The EMOTIONAL scars. It's torture so brutal that Darkseid would be proud of it -- that is, if it wasn't currently ripping his emotional neredowell-being apart.
