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.

[Okay he's been quietly watching all this because it's not his business, he only just got here, and as much of a nosy asshole as he is he can recognize when shit is really heavy and doesn't need his additional weight in there. But this all just took a severe nosedive out of proper debate altitude and Dave's done with it.

But adding to the dogpile probably won't help, so instead he takes off to flit around the likely areas of the ship with quantum-enhances speed. Luckily, Dipper is having his little meltdown on the observation deck, so it's only a few minutes before Dave is suddenly behind him, reaching over his shoulder and plucking the omnicomm out of his hand.]

Alright, that's enough of that.

[And he manages to type out one more response to the thread even as he says it, typing with one hand while keeping the other firmly pressed down on Dipper's shoulder.]

[He doesn't try to get the omnicom back. He just sits there, fists clenched, his whole body tensed up, breathing short little breaths like his lungs are too stiff to breathe right.]

[Then he sniffles, rubs an arm over his eyes, and embarassed, he gets up and runs off to have a good sulk and then find Mabel.]

[He can always get his omnicom back later.]

[...Orrrr get a new one and avoid Dave forever because he's embarrassed someone had to take it away, like he really is just a dumb kid that needed a toy taken away and put off limits.]

[Aw. Dude.

He doesn't give chase because yeah the guy probably has people he'd rather talk to right now and it's not like Dave is great at the whole comforting bit anyway. But yeah. He remains standing there awkwardly a long few minutes, unsure of what he should do, before finally pocketing the device and resolving to find Dipper and give it back later.]
