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. ✦ This anon meme is set shortly after the events of "No Sanity Clause" and "Silent Horizon." Thanks to news drones catching part of the Joker's declaration, and thanks to press conferences by the UP government, several things that happened during "No Sanity Clause" are now public knowledge: the threat of Chronoblivion and that the Legion and UP government kept it secret, that the Joker is in Legion custody and will not be released to Takron Galtos (the prison planet), and that Blue Rose is dead and will be having a funeral soon on Shanghalla. What isn't publicly known: that the Joker said Brainic 5 wasn't guilty of the original Legion disappearing and that Chronoblivion's forces were, and that the Spectre appeared as Blue Rose died and gruesomely killed her murderer, Firefly (though the Carggites that saw him may reveal this anon). As for Silent Horizon, it's publicly known: that the star drive test was a dismal failure and that much of the Silent Horizon crew died, and that the Legion saved the Robotican crew members. However, the full extent of what happened is not publicly known. (That said, people may post as anon Legion World staff spilling the beans on what happened during the mission.)

The only reason you'd be so fixated on these things is if you don't have any experience of your own to focus on.

I just meant that maybe they'd be happier if they focused on their own private lives.

["By having them," is what he says aloud in his room and doesn't type this time.]

It seems like they're wasting a lot of time trying to live through strangers when they could be working on making their actual romantic lives into whatever it is they want.

Re: text

if they were capable of getting what they want romantically then theyd be doing that
but clearly they arent and thus here we are

You're not wanted. Everything to do with my love life is mine, not yours. You don't belong there.

If you don't want someone judging you, don't do something that's wrong.

We do.

Don't you idolize your heroes?

[katsudork]

I did for a while. And then he became my coach. Then, instead of wanting him to be anything I'd hoped for, I just wanted him to be himself, because I wanted to know who that was so I could hold on to that instead. Because it was real.

Even back when I did idolize him, before I knew him in person, I didn't go on the internet and do any of this. I just watched his skating and admired him. But he wasn't mine to do whatever I wanted with, not even the idea of him.

What you're doing is intrusive and it makes me uncomfortable. It makes me feel like I'm not even a person to you. Like you just see me as some kind of thing.

Re: text

We just have very different ideas of what's acceptable.

You're a celebrity. A person of interest. Believe it or not, you probably get the same treatment at home as you do here. It's your choice whether or not you want to engage in the fandom and expose yourself to this.

[katsudork]

Back home, it's usually seen as a little weird and invasive when it's real people instead of fictional characters.

[People got rabid about their skating sure, and RPF was a thing, but it was much less in your face, much more frowned on by general skating fandom.]

Even if I never look again, I'll still know it's happening and that thought will never stop being uncomfortable. I can't stop you from doing it but I'm not going to make it easy on you by letting you do it without thinking about what it feels like to me. It makes me feel sick.

Every time you pose me around like some creepy doll, remember that.
