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.

I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[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

[captainbuzzkill]

I dooon't really make a habit of sniffing people, so I have no idea what he smells like.

[You weirdo.]

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

don't worry we'll just ask speedball if he shows up

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

He doesn't exactly seem like the randomly-sniffs-people type either.

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

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

[He hates you.]

Elastic.

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

Also my head isn't that big! It's not! It's a normal head size, it's just the rest of my body is still small, but eventually that's going to catch up.

So there.

Oh, honey. I'm Naltoran.

I've got some bad news.

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

[captainbuzzkill]

Is there some kind of alien thing you're--

[Then he gets it and narrows his eyes.]

Noodles. I get it now. Ha ha. So funny.

[Not.]

[walkingballpit]

My first thought was Humpty Dumpty reinforcing himself... sorry, Dipper.

How's it feel to be a sprokking murderer?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

It wasn't really --

[This is the only question that's given him pause. Mostly because everything he did in Murderworld didn't give him pause and he wonders what that means.]

Murder is defined as unlawfully taking the life of another person, usually with premeditation. That's...not what happened.

A lawyer, huh? Fine. Manslaughter.

You had the ability to aim the spear elsewhere. You sent it right back at them.

[turntex]

[captainbuzzkill]

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

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

They're not from Winath, loser. They're primitve Earthlings.

That's a clone.

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[(Anonymous)]

oh sorry.

captain mystery! what's it like being on a team with your clone?

Re: I'm Captain Mystery, AMA

[captainbuzzkill]

Pretty much the same as being around her all the rest of the time, to be honest. Only with superpowers. We were already used to scary life-and-death stuff before we got here. And we were already used to working together all the time.

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

presumably some time before the blowup

[captainbuzzkill]

Nooo crushes. I didn't have any crushes back home. Nope.

[It's said a little too quickly, but he's still trying to get over Wendy. He's mostly there, and it helps to not linger on it.]

None here, either. Spider-Woman's my friend but she's way too old for me.
