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.)

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.

locksmith you should sing something cute for your boyfriend!

[goddamngrenades]

What boyfriend? [ He blinks at the camera, picking through that looming melody while trying to recall- uh. What they might be talking about. ] I'm not see'n anyone right now.

[agnominal]

[ Locus is slightly less intoxicated, however, and he sees what you did there, anon.

Have a glower. ]

[(Anonymous)]

then who's tall dark and scowly there? is he legion? i don't recognize him!

[goddamngrenades]

OH! This is Locus. [ Guitar twang for emphasis. ] Get a good look while you can, ladies, gents, and other sentients of fluid or nonbinary gendertypes. Cuz this doesn't happen often. He's being a bro and keep'n me from doing anything too stupid, like swimming while drunk.

Bad idea kids, don't do it.

[agnominal]

I doubt you would have done so, regardless.

[goddamngrenades]

Tequila Taylor does dumb shit sober taylor would not.

[vata]

You're both guilty of that.

[Not that it's a bad thing: tequila heals all wounds, or so the saying goes.]

[goddamngrenades]

Different kinds of dumb shit. I try to mix it up a little.

[agnominal]

Most people would try to avoid that in the first place.

[unrecovered]

Sober Taylor does dumb shit regardless.

[agnominal]

We're not ones to throw stones.

[goddamngrenades]

Gimme stones, Imma throw 'em, cuz Sober Wash also does dumb shit. Drunk Wash? Does HILARIOUSLY dumb shit.

Usually cuz Drunk York is a bad idea bear that can talk people into dumb shit. Usually no one gets hurt or arrested.

Usually.

[unrecovered]

I would love to hear stories about dumb shit Sober Locus did.

[You know, the lighthearted dumb shit, not the Trusted Felix For Years dumb shit.]

[unrecovered]

[Well, at least he's alive.]

York, drink some fucking water.

Locus, please make sure it isn't sea water.

[agnominal]

He's being taken care of.

[unrecovered]

Thank you.

[goddamngrenades]

You're not my real dad!

[ Emphatic swigging of tequila from the bottle in spite is- well. Not at all the adult or grown up thing to do but he's doing it anyway because he's tired of being an adult while dealing with all this shit. ]

[unrecovered]

I'm also not going to be helping you through your hangover tomorrow if you don't get some goddamn water in you.

[goddamngrenades]

Pff, this is nothing. Nowhere near Casbah levels of drinking.

[unrecovered]

No kidding. That's what I'm trying to prevent, especially in front of your adoring fans.

[goddamngrenades]

That came from too many shots, too many dudebros, and a lot of bad ideas and energy. This is tequila, a beach, and a guitar. I'm lazy right now, bud-

But thanks for look'n out.

anon, text

[the_real_sir_prize]

[Two attractive men being snuggly on a beach, 10/10, would smile at again.]

What is a song that makes you happy? Also, play that one.

[goddamngrenades]

Something that makes me happy? Uh...

[ He picks through a few tunes, finally settling on one. He even hums along for a few bars. ]
