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

Chick Magnet

[lovernotafighter]

[He's probably going to regret this. He doesn't know it yet, of course, poor thing. Oh well.

Still blissfully ignorant, his helmet was sitting in his lap and there's just a bright wide grin. When doesn't Tucker like talking about himself? Yeah, exactly.]

Come on and bring it. I'll answer pretty much anything.

How does attracting birds relate to your power?

[lovernotafighter]

Seriously? Why does everyone keep thinking that my power has anything to do with birds?!

[Frustration looks good on Tucker. Really.]

[(Anonymous)]

That's what a chick is. A kind of baby bird.

[lovernotafighter]

I mean, yeah but what kind of power includes summoning an army of baby birds?! What am I going to do, have them peep at people until they give up? It's just weird and dumb.

[i.e. It sounds like a power one of them from Blood Gulch would actually have. Realistically. Honestly. Why isn't this a thing yet?]

I have magnetic powers and I'm a total ladykiller. Um, not like that, but you know, hot people dig me. So, you combine the two and I'm a Chick Magnet.

[unrecovered]

You could change your call sign to something that's not embarrassing to say in the field.

Just saying.

[lovernotafighter]

You're just jealous that your name isn't nearly as cool. It's okay; we can't all be this awesome.

[unrecovered]

It is literally impossible to say "Chick Magnet" and sound intimidating or authoritative, both of which you want in the field.

[lovernotafighter]

Says you! I'd listen to the ladies man over some of these other names any day.

Why is that guy popular with Chicks? Guess I'd better listen and live so I can survive to find out all his secrets. See? Logic.

[unrecovered]

Given the discussion here, it's more like, how does that man attract birds, and how is that useful in this situation?

Real subtle with a name like that.

[lovernotafighter]

Hey, I just wanted everyone to know who they were dealing with. My subtlety is [nonexistent] an artform.

Anon'd

[short_changed]

More like a sledgehammer from the look of it.

[lovernotafighter]

It's just because you can't appreciate the nuances of it. My subtlety is so subtle that it seems obvious.

Anon'd

[short_changed]

Oh really?

Can you walk me through the process of it?

[lovernotafighter]

I could, but that would just ruin the mystery of it, you know? Kind of like when a chick puts on something skimpy but isn't totally naked yet.

Anon'd

[short_changed]

Uh huh.

Guess you're not a fan of lingerie, then.

[lovernotafighter]

I'm totally a fan of it.

[Wait for it.]

When it's on my floor. Bow chika bow wow.

Anon'd

[short_changed]

On just the chicks or do you have a little special something for yourself too?

[Is this cheating? Probably.]

And if so...sneak peek?

Re: Chick Magnet

[(Anonymous)]

what's the story with you and dt?
i heard things there are heated.

[lovernotafighter]

Dude, don't put it like that; it sounds creepy in a leery way.

And shit, there's nothing to tell. He's an cockbite. The end.

[(Anonymous)]

a cock is a human genitalia, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, that's a male chicken.

You're thinking of a cork.

[(Anonymous)]

Doubletime bites the genitals of his partners?!

That's...kinky...?

[lovernotafighter]

[Oh, sorry, he can start rumors about Grif? Yes, please!]

I mean, I don't know what he does in the bedroom, and I sure as shit don't want to. But who knows, right? He does get hungry a lot.
