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.

To supply the billions of people who ate meat, animals were kept in barbaric conditions, force-fed unnatural diets, bred to the point where their bodies couldn't naturally sustain themselves in order to produce more attractive portions, and the slaughterhouse conditions were nightmarish.

On Earth, some birds were incapable of mating on their own and required outside intervention because they'd been bred to put so much meat on the bone that they were physically incapable of following their instincts.

come on

he posts a cute picture and immediately after we get a lecture on how troll relationships work?

it's like if i posted a picture of me and one of my boys cuddling, then went on a little about Khundian mating rituals

[(Anonymous)]

so is he a prince?

is that how that works?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, she's been dead for about four or five years for him?

I think that he's allowed to gush a little when his mother comes back to life and he sees her for the first time since he was ten or eleven years old.

[meanmonkey]

No. I am not a princess anymore.

Hanzo was a samurai lord, I was his wife, and Kubo is our son.

My father and sisters have nothing to do with it.

[meanmonkey]

Then why not simply forbid the conditions that led to that? minimize hunting in heavily-hunted areas?

Forcing everyone to cease to eat food we are meant to have seems unnecessary.

What's your hardest battle that you fought that we don't know about from Paperboy's stories yet?

Re: Sariatu, AMA

[meanmonkey]

[ after a LOOOOONG pause, have a video! Sariatu sits on camera and tells a story about when she and Hanzo had to fight a ghost army, while she was pregnant. It's accompanied by Kubo on shamisen, complete with his signature origami theater, in front of and around her.

She is actually a lot more dramatic and into it than you'd expect from her answers on the meme so far, she does the voices and everything. This just in: Monkey Mom is a nerd. ]

It's just really dissonant when we know she's a former assassin.

[(Anonymous)]

Who says assassins can't love their families?

[(Anonymous)]

Well great, I was gonna watch The Tale of the Three Strings after work but now you've spoiled it for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure some of those she assassinated loved their families too.

[(Anonymous)]

She's exactly my type - mature, regal, able to kill me with her pinkie.

[(Anonymous)]

Trust me, it's even more heartwrenching when you KNOW what's going to happen.

[meanmonkey]

I'm sure they did. And now that I feel, I regret what I did - though I do not wallow in grief, as that would help no one.

But it is important to remember that before I met Hanzo, I did not know love, or compassion, or empathy. Emotions on the moon were cold and distant, or burning hot and deadly as the sun. There was no in between.

For all that I don't feel I owe you, who I don't know, any explanations, I want to be clear that until he removed my mask and made me truly see the earth's beauty, I did not understand what it would mean to feel bad about killing someone who I was told posed a threat to my father.

It really is.

Especially because you totally start feeling like it'll all be okay at the end, and you almost forget, and then it all comes slamming down on you again.

I totally thought that it would all end happy, but then [spoiler] and [spoiler] died and nothing was okay ever again.

Hunting was another issue entirely. People hunted entire species of animals to extinction, even after it was declared illegal to hunt them, in their superstitious beliefs about the health benefits various body parts. Some hunters would take the meat, others would only take the parts that were worth money. Sometimes they'd mangle them, take what they wanted, and leave the defenseless animal alive and unable to recover.

People grew animals on farms, but that just lead to the conditions mentioned. When those conditions became illegal, farmers did them anyway and just kept things secret. Eventually, synthetic meat or meat alternatives like tofu and enhanced proteins came out and we could get the dietary benefits of meat without torturing or killing any animals at all.

They really need to give us more shower scenes in the next one.

[(Anonymous)]

Grife go watch the Tale of the Three Strings already. If I had a mom who loved me that much I'd be a mama's boy too.

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

But how would we explain the old Legion vanishing and the sudden shift to these new kids from out of town?
