IC ANON MEME

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.

You're implying he's creative. I wouldn't.

Okay, sorry. I'm just kind of protective.

This is not proof of Speedwing or Mercury or whatever someone calls it. Grife.

I'll ask a friend. It's fine.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Guppyball.

Speed Winglies is also popular.
unrecovered: (...what?)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
What about friendship sounds fake to you?
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, it really doesn't.]

I'm less worried about you than I am Ghostface Lite. I'm pretty sure he holds grudges.

What I'm hearing is, I need to start booby-trapping my room.
unrecovered: (Well...)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean he's wrong.

[personal profile] walkingballpit 2016-11-21 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I try to take good care of him.

[ Niels is remarkably well behaved for this segment. ]

I think he knows whenever someone's complimenting him. He behaves.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
okay but what are the other states

I keep seeing something about there being a north Dakota and a south Dakota but that doesn't sound right

why wouldn't you just combine them together to make one big Dakota
unrecovered: (Well...)

[He'll play along, because everyone else is being a jackass, and also cat.]

Okay, Neils, inquiring minds want to know: do you prefer your catnip loose or in plush mouse form?

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like the uniforms leave much to imagination

Let them have the privacy of their own skin.

I hope you find your peace, anon.

Why does no one understand the concept of friends?

Nova hugs can hurt.

The tights themselves aren't that super, honestly. I mean, sure, this outfit is based on one most recent uniform from back home, which was a Janet Van Dyne original, but other than being designed by one superhero and worn by another? Nothing that special about them.
unrecovered: (I don't want to talk about it)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-11-21 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Let me share a secret with you: even if you think it's your right to blame someone for your loss, blaming them never helps. If you hold on to that anger - if that's all you think about - then the grief never gets better. It festers, and it poisons you, and it never heals.

So yeah, if you want to blame someone and spend the rest of your life as a toxic garbage fire because of it, go ahead! We can't stop you from doing that. But take it from someone who's lost more people than you've probably ever known and spent a long time looking for someone to blame: that is a shitty way to live your life.

[It's probably more than he should say in public- no, fuck that, it's definitely more than he should say in public- but he has to try. Plus, if he can divert the asshole's attention away from Robbie, it'll be worth it.]
sir_vancelot: (OU - Heh)

[personal profile] sir_vancelot 2016-11-21 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Robbie gets another picture. Which is Vance flipping him off.]

[He's grinning behind it, which can just be seen, but that's the response.]
walkingballpit: (16)

[personal profile] walkingballpit 2016-11-21 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I - thanks, anon.

[ He does, and he suspects immediately that this is a New Warrior. ]

His favorite thing's whatever I'm trying to use. He never knocks over his food bowl though.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever.
sir_vancelot: (Laughing)

[personal profile] sir_vancelot 2016-11-21 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, to be honest? In this, Robbie's right. I haven't had a lot of reason to be more creative about the use of TK while fighting because shielding or punching is pretty much more useful than most things I could come up with. My job is normally protection or crowd control. And unlike a Lantern, I don't really get to 'show off' shapes and stuff with my powers.

Though I will admit that it made using the Green Lantern ring I got in that one mission easier to handle.

FOR ANY LEGIONNAIRES

I need my armorkink filled.

Imagine, my friends. Their armor has AIs. The AIs are in the suits. They wrap around them protectively, shielding them from all harm in their loving embrace, constantly whispering in their ears. That's an intimacy I can only imagine, being inside my lover's skin and knowing that they live only to keep me safe.

Vance, no! Your other fingers aren't working! Hang on, buddy, I've got this for you.

[ Dueces. ]
sir_vancelot: (OU - Umm)

[personal profile] sir_vancelot 2016-11-21 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Not actually a fan of the term 'spirit animal'. That belongs to a culture that I'm not part of. IF I ever talk about things like this, I'm more likely to use the term 'Patronus'. Because, yes, I read Harry Potter, same as everybody in my time.

In that case, though, I tend to consider my Patronus to be a dog of some sort. Either a Golden Retriever or maybe a German Shepard.
sir_vancelot: (OU - Umm)

[personal profile] sir_vancelot 2016-11-21 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I can really, honestly stay no to this one.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What's Harry Potter?
