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.

[He smiles a ridiculous smile at that, ducking his head a little bashfully.]

The guy that became our team leader, Night Thrasher, he recruited me and Justice and our friend Firestar to the team. Then one of the former heralds of Galactus got loose from where he was being held, and Nita was already on the scene, so naturally she was already fighting the guy when we jumped in.

I may have called her babe. [A pause.] There was probably an eyebrow waggle in there somewhere, too, not that she could see it through the helmet.

[Somewhere around 'You, though, I could become good friends with.']

So, after she didn't murder me for hitting on her in really stupid ways, we formed the team, drove each other absolutely crazy for ages, and then finally realized you don't drive each other that crazy unless you care.

Nah, it was a lot more that we were young and dumb and still figuring out there's more ways to deal with how you feel about someone than pulling on their pigtails.

Or ponytail, in her case.

[Rich actually laughs out loud at that. A huge, shaking belly laugh.]

If you think that's bad...

I used to change my costume to try to trick the press into thinking I was popular enough to have a sidekick or copycat.

[He leans his head on his hand.]

Also, I had a ponytail. Under a helmet.

And I used to wear muscle shirts.

What's wrong with muscle shirts?

The muscle shirts and ponytail weren't the problem.

The foot wide pro-wrestling belt and constant stripping were the problems.

[ Robbie's actually chewing on his bottom lip to try to keep the laughter back. ]

I'm helping!

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
gonna have to disagree with you here

nova prime stripping is never a problem

No, anon, you'll only encourage him! His shirt rehab has gone so well.

[ Robbie yawns theatrically. ]

I'm over all of it. Rich's chest, Nita's legs, Vance's ... everything. His uniform rips all the time. it's like he pre-rips it and holds it together with tk until he feels the need for an air conditioned uniform.

Of all the New Warriors here, only Nita has ever had any game.

YOU have the least game of us all, Robbie. Because you're too young to have game. If you have game, that makes me and Rich old.

Excuse you, I've got mad game. My milkshake brings all the sentients to the yard when I shake dat thang.

Also, you were old when you were 16. What makes you think anything': changed?

P.S. Dude, are you even a full year older or is it a year and Christmas hange? I can never remember birth years.

A bit of "he's a goddamn minor." The rest of us Warriors aren't. Don't be crass.

He's an adult. And allowed to have crushes.

Don't get mad because your girlfriend destroyed Primetime for us.
