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.)

A few Legionnaires showed up to do AMAs last time. Just setting this up in the hopes that some do it this time, too.

I'm no Legionnaire, but I've always wanted to do this.

I'm a low-grade speedster working for Legion Watch. I go through the footage for the Legionnaire Legacies, giving the writers and screen editors the usable footage.

[Evidence]

Ask me anything. S'long as it doesn't risk me losing my job.

what's the weirdest stuff you've seen so far that probably won't make the final cut into an episode?

[(Anonymous)]

so what's it like having access to naked footage and not being able to sell it?

without giving away any details, who's got the most sprocked-up backstory?

I'm Paperboy! Ask Me Any Story.

[bachido]

[Kubo looks a little tired in this video. But he's still smiling, still has his shamisen on his knee, still looks ready to deliver for the public.]

I'm Paperboy! Ask me anything, and I'll tell you the story.

[He strums his shamisen, and paper flies from the table in front of him to hover at the ready.]

How close are you and Dave? Really?

Re: I'm Paperboy! Ask Me Any Story.

[(Anonymous)]

Blue Rose seemed to really like you a lot. Did you ever do any music together?

Re: I'm Paperboy! Ask Me Any Story.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay but.

You're really this much of a mama's boy?

Like, it's not an act to make her more sympathetic or anything? Because ngl she kind of scares the shit out of me, and not in the sexy way a lot of anons seem to feel. The only thing that really makes her seem not like a terrifying murder machine is you and how much you love her and she loves you, but that also seems kind of over-the-top?

Like. Bro, your mom is fucked up. She threatened to remove someone's LIMBS. On the MEME.

Batman

[volving]

[ All video, from Batman. The cowl is on. ]

...I am Batman.

Someone said you ask questions. And I should do this.

Re: Batman

[(Anonymous)]

Why dress up like a bat, and not a hippo? Hippos are scarier than bats.

Doctor Stephen Strange, AMA

[strangebargains]

[Stephen looks like he hasn't slept (or shaved properly) in days, but he wants to set the record straight if there's any rumors about him.]

Well. Have at it.

Re: Doctor Stephen Strange, AMA

What are you a doctor of? Please say cheesemaking, I have money riding on it.

Paladin, AMA

[isthisapidge]

[She seems like she's bracing herself for this in the video.]

Might as well. I'm Paladin, go for it.

what's it like being a creepy psychopath?

Bolts | AMA

[notthatjason]

[Jason wants to get his mind off of recent events. He's used to losing people, but it had been awhile and it never gets easier.

Why he thinks this will help is anyone's guess, but he's sitting here looking stoic as usual]

Hello.

ANON

[vata]

This is Reaper. Ask me anything.

Delta AMA

[goddamngrenades]

[ In an unusualish turn, Delta is on his own in front of the camera, settled in a small robotic body painted the same shade of green as his usual hologram. ]

Hello. I am Delta- you may ask anything and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Freelancer

[unrecovered]

[He's holding a sign with today's date and AMA on it. Instead of a kitten picture on the sign, there's a kitten perched on his shoulder. No helmet, as he currently doesn't have one.]

Why not.

Doubletime

[whyarewehere]

I heard somebody missed me talking to you guys. So.

And for the record, I'm still not dating Rich.

York & Locus

[goddamngrenades]

[ The scene's a beach- York shirtless in swimtrunks leaning against Locus, guitar in hand, bottle of tequila stuck in the sand between them. Being social is good, right? And being missing is just- well it makes people ask questions.

And he'd rather avoid that shit.

SO here he is with Locus for moral support, plucking at the strings, managing the pleased grin of a man halfway into his third or fifth shot of tequila. ]

Y"all know the drill- [ Drunk York is texan drawling york, oh no. ] But this time y'all can also request a song and I'll see if I can remember how to play it. No promises.

Mirage, AMA

[short_changed]

[Last time one of these went up South got to run her mouth about things. Well, now it's Connie's turn. Maybe.]

Can't say if I'll answer but ask away.

Switch

[i_got_this]

Stop asking about Freelancers that aren't here. I don't know I don't care. [Also trying to minimize shit she might have to answer about North.]

[Also yes she's here but don't expect her to be as vivacious as she was in her earlier AMA.]

Anon

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I'm not human. Ask me anything.

I'm Ghostbuster, AMA

[gonebyebye]

[Ray is in the Firehouse, with the Ecto-1 in the background.]

Hey there folks. I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, and in addition to being new Legionnaire, I'm also a paranormal investigator. Feel free to ask me anything about either.
