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.

clearly, you are missing the potential for some prime love/hate shipping and archange helping arbitrator to be a better person.

[(Anonymous)]

Unless Arbitrator's a redhead, sounds fake. Look at the shipping threads.

[(Anonymous)]

clearly none of you have seen the footage of their mission together.

[(Anonymous)]

preference =/= literally the only type of person you'll date

nightwing had a preference for redheads too, but I still think there was something between him and jericho.

that being said, this ship is still kinda sprocked up.

[(Anonymous)]

what are you talking about??? Clearly it's a ritual mating dance. You know? Like you're testing your potential partner if they'll give you strong offspring or not.

[(Anonymous)]

what's a ritual mating dance? beating the sprock out of each other? or forcing him to dye his hair red?

[(Anonymous)]

just when you think you've heard of every kink

[truefaceofthelaw]

STOP THIS LINE OF INQUIRY IMMEDIATELY. There is absolutely NOTHING between me and that leather-faced alien.

he's not letting this go ok

[truefaceofthelaw]

and NO, it is not any kind of competitive mating dance. That's a ridiculous thought. I've already proved my physical competency to anybody who asks.

really he's not.

[truefaceofthelaw]

And not only is it ridiculous for that reason, but it's not a behavioral or cultural trait present in humans. And Archangel is ugly. He's a damn twig. He has mandibles for Grud's sake. And even if I could respect his combat proficiency, I'm still better and he wouldn't make the cut in this hypothetical scenario of yours.

[Oh you sweet summer child]

so whens the wedding

Anon, pretending to be a different anon

[unrecovered]

[Though this does confirm that The Mighty Chin is on the meme, which might explain some other anons, or at least casts them in a suspicious light.]

NOBODY gets this worked up unless they're denying something that's real. NOBODY.

How long have you been dating? Who initiated? We need to know!

[truefaceofthelaw]

THERE WILL BE NO WEDDING. There is no dating either. I am getting worked up, not because I have something to hide, but because I can't believe you pervs and deviants out there would think I would shack up with an alien.

Judges are required to be celibate and unattached. No romantic connections. That's it. End of story.

[whyarewehere]

Hey new kid, if there's anything I'm an expert on? It's these guys not believing anything we say.

Don't get invested.

[ When it's his friends making the jokes, though... ]

[truefaceofthelaw]

[The new kid? Excuse you.]

If I need your advice, I'll ask for it.

[araignee_du_soir]

This isn't even entertaining any longer; it's just pathetic.

Re: -1

How do you know that Arbitrator isn't a redhead? Has anybody ever seen him around without that helmet on?

anon

[brisance]

I have. Too bad he doesn't seem to have hair anymore. Maybe he was a redhead once?

Anon

[unrecovered]

we should ask Archangel to see if the carpet matches the drapes

Anon

[brisance]

Maybe if he asks nicely. I'm sure Arby's resistance is because he doesn't understand his new and confusing feelings.

Anon

[unrecovered]

you're RIGHT

ill be sure to ask Archangel to be gentle

even if Arby likes it rough

(im pretty sure he likes it rough)

good grud he's unanoning everything

[truefaceofthelaw]

I am NOT bald. Nobody has seen me without my helmet. This anonymous poster is a liar.

Anon

[brisance]

But that day in - ah, I should have known you'd forget.

[truefaceofthelaw]

That day in what?

Anon

[brisance]

No, no, it didn't mean anything, I understand.
