THE IC ANON MEME

RULES AND INFO

✦ Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see ICly it. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

✦ There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that ~~unwisely~~ comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

✦ Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords have been added to the Legion Basics page.

✦ Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

✦ You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

✦ Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

✦ Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

✦ The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

No.

You have superspeed, you could've done it. Were you just being lazy or something?

Maybe you don't understand, so I'm going to clear this up: I'm not playing right now. Not a good joke. Fuck you.

Who said I was joking?

Alright then, let's get serious.
[fuuuuuckyou.vid]
[ Grif has left a video. He's sitting at his desk, the disaster kingdom that is his room is visible in the edges of the frame, but it's hard to pay attention to that right now instead of him. Grif is usually slouching, open, and unconcerned, with all the posture (or lack thereof) one would expect. Now he's straight and serious, leaning slightly forward toward the camera, and the lines of his face are hard. ]

My name is Grif, and I'm an asshole.

[ Did he plan this out? Did he think about what the consequences of this might be, posting a video on a public venue to a ton of people? Not even a little bit. ]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a lovable and good-looking asshole who brightens everyone's day, but mostly? Yeah. I'm a fucking asshole.

Meanwhile, ninety-nine percent of this team? They're nice people.

[ Grif says it in the same way your deep southern aunt would say "bless their hearts". ]

The problem with nice people is that they're nice. They make a lot of stupid decisions because they're nice. They care more about helping people than, say, not dying. Not me. I'm here for one person, and you're looking at him.

[ He points at his chest with one thumb for emphasis. ]

So. Things get bad? I'm the one wanting out alive as priority number one. This team needs me because if you don't have an asshole around, nobody else is gonna say "hey, maybe getting yourself killed is kind of unacceptable".

If I don't help the Legion when something like Galactus comes out of a fucking wormhole or whatever, I'm going to die a whole lot sooner than I planned on it. I've got a hell of an incentive to want the rest of these guys alive. You know. So I don't end up alone fighting endless inevitable space death.

I'm not brave. I'm not nice. I'm not selfless. [ He counts those off on his fingers. ] But I'm fucking fast, and I'm fucking practical, and that's why you shitheads better be glad I'm here. Cause if it weren't for me? Nova Prime is exactly the kind of disgustingly brave, stupid, selfless jackass who would've gone out there to talk to the Surfer alone, and we would be down an actual nice person that I'm sure plenty of you would rather have around than me.

[ He sits back, fingers folded. ]

So sure. Doubt me. Call me a coward, I am. Call me lazy, I am. Call me messy, stupid, and obnoxious because how amazing, those are true too. But don't you ever say I did not do the best I could on Braal.

Or I'll hit you in the teeth at mach 2, squaj, and you know what's great about being an asshole?

[ Grif leans forward to glare into the camera. ]

I won't feel even a little bad about it.

[ He backs up a little. ]

That's it. You guys have fun on here doing whatever weird creepy shit it is you do, I'm done.

[ He reaches up and shuts off the recording with an expression of disgust. This is his last contribution to this meme post. ]
