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.)

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.

I doubt you would have done so, regardless.

Tequila Taylor does dumb shit sober taylor would not.

You're both guilty of that.

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

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

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

It's impossible to not make mistakes, might as well do dumb shit that seems fun at the time and fuck up in predictable ways.

That makes no sense. You must realize that.

...You're talking to someone that sees the world in terms of patterns and variables. Controlling the pattern that is my rather colorful series of fuckups gives me some sense of control in an otherwise chaotic and impossible to predict universe.

[ With that, he takes a hearty swig of tequila, lounging back against the sand. ]

Makes perfect sense to me.

Wouldn't control involve anticipating those mistakes and not making them in the first place?

That ends with me trying to go down every possible iteration of an interaction taht won't end badly and life's too damn short for it. I save that for work.

Sober Taylor does dumb shit regardless.

We're not ones to throw stones.

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.

Of course Sober Wash does dumb shit. Sober Wash was friends with you for years.

["Friends." Freelancer was stupidly complicated that way.]

And Drunk Wash doesn't exist anymore, so. [Shrug.]

Sober Wash was too nice to call me on my bullshit. A problem that no longer exists, thank god.

[ Sober wash now delights in doing that thing. It works.

Mostly. ]

And we can fix that if you want- which you probably don't but hey. Offer's open.

You're welcome.

[He shrugs again.] Eidetic memory. No point in drinking to forget when you can remember everything.

Drinking's not just to forget, young grasshopper. It's also to relax and lose a few inhibitions.

And then remember, in vivid detail, everything I did with lowered inhibitions. Nope.

Remind me to stock up on fruit for smoothies for you instead of booze.

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.]

I got this one- he fed me. Once. Now he'll never get rid of me.

Apparently.

[ Alright, he's not terribly put out about that one. He's still side-eying him all the same. ]

Never feed a Murray if you wanna be left alone.

Duly noted.
