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 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.

Do you know Wonderwall?

[bachido]

[What the heck was that even and why does Kubo get the feeling it's been overplayed]

I do now but I have to ask

What is a wonderwall?

[Long songs don't even phase him, so he fails to make a joke as would be appropriate. The final version is pretty cool actually, with Kubo working as much percussion in as he can using the body of his shamisen and stomping his foot. He doesn't sing, though, sorry!]

I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for the request!

[turntex]

[What he links is this. Sorry Kubo.]

[ALLRIGHT

WELL

THIS EXISTS NOW

THIS SURE IS THE FULLEST EXTENT OF HOW POSSIBLE IT IS TO EXECUTE "SPACE JAM" ON A SHAMISEN SO GOOD JOB GETTING THAT TO EXIST, ANON

The performance is captured fully on video, said performance consisting only of Kubo staring at the camera with the same unchanging deadpan raised eyebrow throughout the entire song.]

i love you

[He's never been so happy in his life.]

Re: anon

[bachido]

Wow I - thank you!

[Kubo feels a lil bad about taking that performance with such an enormous grain of salt now]

THIS! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

[THIS ONE IS DELIGHTFUL OKAY! Kubo even dances around while playing, totally getting into his groove here, never missing a note despite the intensity of his jamming.]

That one was a lot of fun! Thanks for the request, Anon!

[Here you go, anon! Kubo pulls off his one-man interpretation, with his own personal flair. It takes the cover a little farther from the original, but hey it still sounds baller.]

Thanks for suggesting that one! It must be a lot of fun to play with that many other musicians.

grife you're like a cavity in Cool Kid(tm) wrapping paper

do tiny animals gather round and sit on your head or help you clean your house when you play back on whatever nass-backwards planet you came from?

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

[bachido]

No they don't.

I don't understand why you'd think that was one of my powers. Or why I'm like a toothache.

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

[unrecovered]

Remind me to show you Snow White later.

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

[bachido]

I'll add it to the list.

[it's getting long!]

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

[meanmonkey]

These are very good performances!

[bachido]

Thank you, Mother!

[Look at how happy he is, look at his happy little face! Really, though, she'd tell him if he were making mistakes or if his timing were off, and she'd know, so what high praise!]
