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.

Paperboy

[Kubo opens in his field of looper machines, just like during the cyber-zombie apocalypse, ready to do some epic covers.]

This is Paperboy. Ask me anything, and I'll tell the tale if I can! You should request some songs too, because I got these machines that let me - well - I should just show you!

[He immediately starts usings the loopers, using the body of his shamisen like a drum to beat out a percussion line, building up line after line of electrified shamisen riffs until he's able to launch into the melody line of Dr. Feelgood. His face isn't screwed up in nearly as much concentration, since he's already rehearsed this by now.]

How're you holding up now that you're alone?
bachido: (bittersweet)

I know what you're asking, but I'm not alone. See?

[Kubo holds open his scrapbook - now with a few more tattered edges and sticky fingermarks thanks to Rico - and flips it to some of the more recent pages. There he's pasted more recent selfies with Freelancer, a snapshot of his new friend Archangel with some explanatory text, one or two pictures of America. There are even selfies with members of the staff he's gotten familiar with, as well as fans he met and musicians he jammed with on the PR tour.]

I miss Mother and Father and Dave, but I'm more grateful that I got the chance to be with them at all. It's easy not to feel alone when you're here.

[The real question is, how's he holding up now that Arbitrator has a grudge against him, and he doesn't have the assurance of his father's constant, defensive presence. But that's not what was asked.]

That's kind of you to say.

I think Double Time and Nova Prime were amazing. I'm just glad I was loud enough.

I'll tell any story you'd like. What sort would you like to hear? While I wait for your answer -

[He tells a quick tale, about a time the Mighty Hanzo investigated a farming town abandoned by its terrified people, who'd fled the torment of a mysterious entity that stole souls. The story starts out spooky and foreboding, but quickly turns comedic as the culprit turns out to be a ghost piglet, whose method of stealing souls was to run between a person's legs. Hanzo, though victorious in the end, was required to defeat his foe while standing on one foot, a complicated and amusing battle.]
