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.

AMAs

[(Anonymous)]

A few Legionnaires showed up to do AMAs last time. Just setting this up in the hopes that some do it this time, too.

I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

[Dipper holds up a sign that has "hi!" and the date. It has a bunch of stickers on it because he had to scrounge from Mabel's paper supply.]

Okay, so I used to record videos of weird unexplained anomalies and I was going to do that here in this universe but most of the weird things here have explanations. Then I realized that I'm an anomaly, on account of the whole being from another dimension thing? So I figured I should answer any questions you have because if I it were me I'd want all my questions answered, too.

So does Brainiac 5 smell like unwashed socks? Or boiled ajisa?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

How do your shirts fit over that massive head when your neck holes are so small?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have to boil yourself every morning so you don't break your limbs moving down the hall?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

How's it feel to be a sprokking murderer?

[turntex]

did you seriously name yourself captain mystery

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

what's it like being on a team with your twin sister?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

So... you got any crushes back home? Any crushes back here?
I heard a rumor 'bout you and Spider-Woman.

I'm Freelancer, AMA

[unrecovered]

[Look who's taking his cue from Dipper and holding up a sign with the date on it. And a doodle of a kitten. He might as well try to humanize himself.]

I figure there might be some questions after that news report, so why not. I will say that a lot of what I did in my home dimension was classified, and I can't break that. Barring that, ask away.

In your opinion, who is the most underrated Legionnaire?

Spider-Woman here, AMA

[deafleppard]

[The image is being taken from high up in the sky, with Gotham city shown down below. Also in the image is Spider-Woman and she's hanging upside down because... she can. Like the others she provides written proof of the date and has absolutely no regrets about what she's about to do.]

What's up, guys? Got any questions for me?

Locksmith & Delta, AMA

[goddamngrenades]

[ Why the hell not? York's got a photo snapped of him holding a sign with the date and time while he winks at the camera, Delta hovering over his left shoulder giving the most resigned version of 'fingerguns' that a tiny holographic soldier in mjolnir armor can possibly give. ]

I'm Locksmith and this is Delta, my seeing eye AI. Ask away.

Preshrunk Cyberpunk here, AMA!

[fuckaccuracy]

[Yup, she's joining in, too! Date's provided and she's ready to go.]

So hi! I'm new here, and it occurs to me that a lot of you might not be aware of just how freakin' amazing I actually am. Well, worry no more, good citizens! Because I, Gaige, am here to take all of your questions!

I'm Paperboy, Ask Me Anything (or any song!)

[bachido]

I think I have more questions for all of you than anyone must have for me.

But if you do have questions, hello! I'd like to answer them! And if you don't have any questions, maybe I can try playing your favorite song.

[He has already learned so much about future music so fast by taking requests!]

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.

I'm Justice, AMA

[sir_vancelot]

[To be perfectly honest, this is probably the worst idea that Vance has had in a while. But...well. It's not exactly like being at one of the Avengers' press conferences, but it's relatively close.]

[Which is why he has a sign held up, with the date and his symbol at the bottom. Because that's a thing the Legion does, apparently.]

I've only got a few hours and I'm doing a few other things, but I'll try to get to any questions that you guys have for me.

This is Reinhardt, AMA!

[justicecrusader]

[ Yes, this is Reinhardt. Sitting on a chair, legs propped up on a desk, beer on one hand, and a sign with today's date on the other. ]

Hello, friends! Ask away!

Gohan, AMA

[fourstars]

[ The first thing that can be seen when the camera comes on is Gohan looking off-screen. Seemingly confused and somewhat anxious as reassuring murmurs are heard off-screen. He sighs then, looking at the camera. Not really sure what to say for a moment, before finally clearing his throat. ]

U-Um, hi. I'm... [ He was gonna say Great Saiyaman, but it feels weird calling himself that when he's not in costume. ] Um... Gohan. I'm Gohan, and-- oh! [ He grabbed a sign as an afterthought, with the date on it. ]

Anyway, um... ask me anything?

There were not 75 other soldiers.

[mylawn]

No further questions.

Nova Prime here, AMA

[iamresponding]

[Rich holds up a sign with the date like everyone else, scribbled on a napkin.]

Since some of you think it's fun to bully other people for how they survive in life or death situations, I'm gonna put this out front: I once fought an omnicidal maniac and pulled his guts out through his throat. Yes, it was absolutely necessary, no I don't regret it, and the fact some of you can't seem to understand how sometimes people have to make those kinds of choices means you don't know squat.

[He sets up his omnicom on his desk and leans back in his chair, arms crossed, but not in a way where he seems like he's shrinking in on himself. No, they're crossed in a way that makes him look more brick wall than human.]

Fire away.

Sariatu, AMA

[meanmonkey]

[ A picture of Sariatu, looking serious, with a small sign that has the date on it. Because that's what everyone else is doing ]

I am told AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything". I will not answer anything, but you may ask.

I am Sariatu. Hello.
