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.)

Blue Rose.

Congrats on being one of five Legionnaires to die. Who would have guessed that she'd get outlived by a figure skater?

[Yuuri has, for his entire life, been king of the lurkers. He reads social media almost obsessively but hardly ever comments, and if he ever does comment, it's definitely not in a confrontational way.]

[This comment is so ridiculously out of line and cruel that he not only chimes up, he does so angrily. Furiously.]

Blue Rose was brave, and protective of new people like me, and cared about being a good hero! The reason she died was because she wanted to keep fighting to protect everyone and keep a murderer from escaping and hurting people again, and she just didn't realize how badly she was hurt.

If you think that someone dying while trying to protect people, after saving lots of people and putting out fires that would've killed a lot more, makes them bad at anything, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, it's either her fault for being a shitty hero or your fault for not realizing that she was dying right in front of you.

[There are a lot of things he can say here. He can listen to what others have told him and deny it's his fault, but that just means people will act like it's Blue Rose's. It's much easier for him to take the wrongdoing on himself than to accuse a dead girl of doing something wrong. He's never really had problems piling fault onto his own shoulders before.]

It was mine. I should've made sure she was okay before I left her to find the Science Police.

[unrecovered]

It is not.

[Wash has a lot of self control and a stellar poker face. He's employing the former; the latter, not so much.]

Experienced combatants know their limits. Experienced combatants also misjudge things, because nobody's fucking perfect. Evidently she thought she could handle that wound, and she was wrong. It might have been the adrenaline in her system - I don't know. It doesn't make her a bad Legionnaire - it makes her human. Not knowing that doesn't make you a bad Legionnaire either, because how the fuck are you supposed to know how her body works? She had experience and you trusted her, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Don't you ever take the blame for something that's not your fault, because this isn't. You knew this was going to be a shitshow and you went anyway, and hundreds more innocent Carggites are alive now because you were there to help them.

How dare you?

Dying in a battle you believe in - defending people like you - is not a weakness!

I know you aren't fighting alongside us, so think carefully before you speak dishonorably about someone who fought a battle you didn't have to fight in! So you didn't have to fight it, or because you wouldn't!

[There's no story or anything to accompany this - he's a little heated. Sorry not sorry.]
