IC ANON MEME

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 "Resistance is Futile" and "An Eye For An Eye," and right after the recent Legion Watch.

Does anyone know anything about the newest ones? We need details if we're going to start shipping them!

Re: NEW LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
new as in arrived after the brainiac attack? or new as in within the last couple months?

Re: NEW LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
both, obviously

Well, there's Arbitrator, who's giving a good demonstration of what he's like further up in the thread (spoilers he's a real nasshead).

The Director - Who I think a lot of shippers are already familiar with. She always seems super professional but I bet she really is a giant romantic at heart.

Thad (or Inertia now) - Don't know if this one counts since he was here before. Don't know much about him myself. Mostly sticks to himself (I wonder if he's upset that Ladybug and Sovereign are both gone).

Valeria - Adorable but also way too much like having another Brainiac on board to be honest. Shippers leave her alone! She's way too young for that nass.

Archangel - Another that I think a lot of shippers are already familiar with (and with good reason, if I do say so my self). I was there for his beat down against Arbitrator and Umf!

Haven't heard much about Kimaris or Siegrune aside from names and faces, but they are both really attractive for humans, I can tell you that.

Zenyatta - Seems really nice but (and I kind of hate myself for this) after everything with Babbage I have a hard time really being around him. It's nothing against him, and I'm trying to get over it, because I know it's totally ridiculous, but still, yeah.

Bedrock - Any ARMORBROS shippers in the house that can help me out with this one? Still too new for me.

I think I might be missing a few others (or they might have been taken back home). But those were the ones I could think up off the top of my head.

valeria's helpful. she nailed down the power flow discrepancy i've been trying to track for months in about 30 seconds.

of course, i'm pretty sure she also stole the cookies out of my lunch before she left, but i know i'll never prove it.

I just see her snack pilfering ways as payment for other wise free assistance.

Re: NEW LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
i feel bad for her. she's handling being torn away from her family into a new universe to fight for the survival of all reality so well i'm scared to ask what her life was like back home.

Re: NEW LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
She apparently knows Justice and Speedball. Considering what we know about their universe, that may just about explain everything.

Please allow yourself to heal at your own pace. I do not wish to cause you any distress by my presence. I know I have joined after a difficult time.

If there is something I can do to help, you need only ask.

[ He's worried about you, Anon. Don't beat yourself up over him. ]

bedrock - den mother? she seems to be putting a lot of effort into keeping chick magnet in line on the meme.

of course, one of the hospital techs said she found her next to mirage sooooooo.

Ah, I believe I know who you are talking about.

Hello, I am an omnic named Zenyatta.

Hi.

Who do you want to be shipped with?

(I ask solely to make you feel welcome, because your preferences aren't going to make the slightest bit of difference to fandom.)

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
oh my gods anon you can't just ASK someone who they want to be shipped with

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Get on my level, anon.

[ Not seen: Zenyatta's lights going in a random sequence in confusion. That was not exactly what he expected to be asked. How to answer this nicely... ]

I appreciate the welcome.

However, I cannot give you a good answer to your question. I am still in the process of meeting the other Legionnaires. My apologies.

Do those dots on your head mean anything?

They are sensor arrays and status lights. A bit of multiple things really.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, in that case, I'm gonna put you down for Cortana and Sawtooth.

May I ask why those two?

(Anonymous) 2017-09-11 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Cortana's an AI and Sawtooth is some kind of transforming robot and yes, I really am that shallow.

[He's been fairly confused about this whole thing but following it anyway, as that seems to be the thing to do. The fact that his name is now on it changes everything, though he's not exactly sure how.]

For what?

Okay, I take it back, Sawtooth is too pure.

A new guy just showed up that calls himself Spider-Man. No word on if he's somehow related to Spider-Woman or not.

Guys talks a lot though.
