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.)

Why not.

freelancer are you ready to wade back into the dating scene yet?

possibly with someone very tall and quiet? ;)

[unrecovered]

You know, it's really sad you don't seem to think friendship exists.

And like hell am I dating Locus.

[Who has two thumbs and is deliberately being obtuse? This guy.]

have you ever considered tapping the (very) tall drink of water that is monkey mom?

i mean, you're friends with paperboy, right? that's probably a really good in with her.

[unrecovered]

No. Because she's married. To someone who is not me. That's pretty much the end of that discussion.

[(Anonymous)]

technically i think it's called being "widowed"

so does that mean you've thought about it but don't feel like you can pursue it?

[unrecovered]

Nnnnnnnnnope.

[(Anonymous)]

but he's dead

and a bug

she's allowed to move on

and you're allowed to see fine all across the gender spectrum ;;)

[unrecovered]

You are, sure. But if you scroll up, you'll see that she said her marriage matters to her, and I respect that.

is it true about our quantum queen and her sexy domme voice?

[unrecovered]

You'll have to ask her.

If someone you trusted implicitly or were meant to trust implicitly hurt you badly in ways beyond normal comprehension-

Would you be able to forgive them?

[unrecovered]

That's oddly specific.

[Get off the fucking meme and come talk to him, York-Or-Delta.]

[goddamngrenades]

It is important to be precise.

Off the meme; on the omnicomm

[unrecovered]

Delta, just talk to me.

Re: Freelancer

are you ever fun?

[unrecovered]

Depends on your definition of "fun."

ANON

[i_got_this]

He's never been fun

even when he thought he was fun he was just being dorky

[Thanks Wash this helped cheer her up slightly.]

What do you most regret? That you would be willing to speak of, obviously.

[unrecovered]

[That's...still really intrusive, actually, but more thoughtful than just about anything else he's been asked on these memes. So he gives it some thought.]

A long time ago, I decided I wanted something that had proven to be pretty dangerous. The warning signs were all there, but instead of paying attention to them, I went for it anyway. It changed my life, and not in a good way.

[(Anonymous)]

was it locksmith

[unrecovered]

...yes. Yes it was.

[anon]

[agnominal]

You would choose differently now, if you could.
