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.

Here's how it works: anons present nightmare superhero scenarios. Other anons answer how they'd handle it if they were Legionnaires.

i'm starting to worry about the number of military sentients taking the legion oath. we even have that one guy who's calling himself soldier 76. if this keeps happening i feel like it's going to have a definite detrimental effect on the legion's internal culture. what do you think, meme?

VACATION FOOTAGE!

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
So the Legionnaires went on vacation. I guess our Quantum Queen decided they needed a break and sprung for a secret retreat. Joke's on them, my cousin works there and gave me the code to the secret bath house cameras!

I haven't seen the footage yet, but if I get 50 +1s, I'll upload it and we can enjoy it together.

anyone else notice how disproportionately human the legion is these days? i don't buy that that's just a coincidence, especially when the displacees are coming from all kinds of different universes. we're really supposed to believe they just so happen to get humans 95% of the time?

Okay, it's time to address the galumphalunt in the room.

Anyone that had the stomach or gorgesacs to watch the Murderworld footage: your thoughts?

Some of the Legionnaires I just feel bad for. Others now freak me out.

So, the Great Saiyas.

Siblings? Lovers? Both? Which is it?

You ever look someone in the eyes and feel like you know how you're going to die for a brief instant?

Bumped into this hobo in a green coat on the slidewalk to pick my kids up from school. Turned to apologize and it was like he walked right over my grave. Haven't been able to concentrate since.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Do any other sentients out there wonder if maybe we're focusing on the wrong things? That maybe we're obsessing about the lives of the Legionnaires because we find our own lives unfulfilling and take refuge in fantasy that isn't even close to reality? That maybe we're being shallow in focusing on image and treating their lives like stories, when they're three-dimensional, complex people with flaws and strengths like any other sentient, risking their lives to protect us, even if sometimes they do it imperfectly?

That maybe, just maybe, the things we focus on aren't important and maybe instead of treating it all like a game, we should be doing things that matter? Taking risks like renouncing our UP citizenship to join the team and help, or doing charity work, or joining the Scicops to do something that helps make the galaxy better like the Legionnaires do?

Does anyone else feel that way?

I figured I was going to have to do this sooner or later, and decided on sooner. Ask away.
