IC ANON MEME

[letsgolegion]

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 it ICly. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post starters 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 are on 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.

[There's definitely a pause here, but eventually...]

Yeah, we are.

[It's easier than staying mad at him.]

[goddamngrenades]

Oh. Well. [ He was being jackass but if Wash is being honest? ] Cool.

You might wanna double check your bed before you sleep tonight- I kinda short sheeted it.

[ Which he could just as easily not warn Wash about but- they're friends again. Bros don't prank bros. ]

[unrecovered]

You say that like I don't check it anyway.

[He made an enemy of Reaper. He definitely checks for booby-traps.]

Did Delta get you past security or did you do it yourself?

[unrecovered]

See, I'd say dying it neon green was the best thing you've ever done, followed by shaving half of it off.

[goddamngrenades]

Ah, the paranoia really never goes away. And they say you can't ever go home again.

[ You can't. It comes with you and makes everything else suck forever. ]

I'm a security specialist, Wash. I got it on my own. I mean the hardware is pretty advanced here but there's only so many ways shit can be encyrpted.

technically, that doesn't preclude him from being a gigantic hunk of man meat you'd climb like a tree.

you'd just...do it respectfully.

how many states were there that include "washington", "york", and "tex", quick history side of fandom do your thing!

Speedball and Namorita? Are you crazy? I thought we all agreed that that was a bad, bad idea that we were never going to talk about again.

Also, Speedball is the baddest New Warrior hell he really is the squishy one...

JUSTISH, PEOPLE.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're going to make up these stupid names, do it right. Say it outloud, in English. The name you want is Justish.

Not playing the game, but Brainy's nowhere near a supervillain.

Have you even met a supervillain?

Hi, I'm Niels, AMA

[walkingballpit]

[ The video shows Robbie, holding Niels on his lap and making the poor cat wave at the screen. The date is written on his own forehead with what is hopefully washable ink. ]

His answer to everything is going to be meow, just so you know.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a little narrow-minded. I thought the Legionnaires were supposed to have an element of unity. What's wrong with a little mingling? There's no point in taking people from different planets if they only associate with their own kind.

And it wasn't a date.

Sprock yourself.

Seriously.

Re: Hi, I'm Niels, AMA

How do you not see what a creepy squaj Brainiac 5 is? I originally thought you were cute, but now...

[walkingballpit]

[ Robbie's lips flatten into a straight line. ]

What's that, Niels?

[ He mimes ducking his down to 'listen' to the cat. ]

Niels, who is totally the focus of this AMA, thinks Brainy's a nasshead for kicking him out of the lab. Niels has many contributions to make to feline science.

I keep trying to tell him that Querl's a good guy, but they got off on the wrong foot. He'll never see reason now. I'm sure you know how that goes.

[walkingballpit]

Nita is not a mass-murderer!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, go ahead and laugh it off. If he goes and blows you up too, like he did to the dead Legionnaires, it's on your head.

[walkingballpit]

Look at you, you fit all those presumptions in one sentence.

If half the New Warriors can come back from the dead, I don't believe the Legionnaires are dead either. From what I hear, it's more like vanished. People get pulled into pocket dimensions all the time.

[(Anonymous)]

Or they get vaporized by unapologetic sprocks that don't care what that does to the galaxy. But even if they're alive, so what? They're still gone, when the galaxy needs them.

I'm Naltorian. During the disaster that happened before you got here, I lost family that I probably wouldn't have lost if the original Legion was still here. It's not that the displacee Legionnaires didn't try their best but they were nowhere near as equipped as the old Legion, and didn't have enough numbers to make the same difference.

And Naltor wasn't the only place where the Legion being broken caused loss of life. There were other crimes and other disasters before you all even started showing up. Things that happened that the old Legion could've taken care of in their sleep, but the Legionnaires that were left could barely handle. People have died that didn't have to die, so even if the lost Legionnaires are alive somewhere, so what? It was in the news that the guy blew up Brande Industries like four times when he was younger and he's responsible for Computo and what the Roboticans did to Xanthu.

He's a menace and he needs to be locked up. If you don't believe that, tell that to my mother. Oh wait, you can't. She died in the floods.

It isn't what he did to the Legion alone that's unforgivable, it's what he did to the galaxy.

It's like a snootler but more dangly.

Re: ALL THE NEW WARRIORS

You're getting your Novas mixed up, anon. Nova Prime is the older one. The younger one is just Nova.

[(Anonymous)]

Jeez, pop a hypospray, dude. It's just an expression. Like "ooh she must have a body in the basement."

But it's just a turn of phrase. No one actually thinks that literally.

[(Anonymous)]

Am I the only one disgusted by the ongoing disrespect for some of the displacees being from the past? I'm talking calling Hiccup "primitive," people treating some of the Legionnaires being violent as OOH so primeval and sexxyyy.

You know. Just general jerkiness. Just because they're from different dimensions usually set in past times doesn't mean they're total primitives. It seems...timeist? Is there even a word for looking down on people from past cultures? If there isn't, there should be, and people should stop doing it.
