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.

[Yikes. Bless Ray, he was trying to help, but here Bunny is returned from his thoughtful meditation on what is Easter anyway, how to condense the joy and reverence and hopeful renewal wrapped up in his one day, and it looks like he's got a new nickname.]

That was a fair go, mate, but you're underselling it. I was doing what I do before it was called Easter. A long time before. Plenty of religions have their spring festivals around the equinoxes. That one latched onto what I was already doing.

[He shrugs. No hair off his back.]

You mortal adults don't see us, you know. But what we do, y'see that. We don't control you, or your stories. We're just there for ya.

Anyway, you asked about Easter. Pretend you're a kid again, and it's the end of a winter that's lasted a long, long time.

Still, spring comes again, just like it always does. Even on the coldest nights, you never lost hope, because you knew it would.

And one day, when you wake up, there's treasure hidden everywhere. Just out of the corner of your eye at first, but once you start to look - in your shoes, in your garden, under your bed, in your cereal bowls -

[He proudly holds up a painted candy egg, and tilts the omnicom so the viewers can see the absolute mountain of other painted treats mounded up on a little layer of hay in his hab.]

And trust me - you've never tasted anything so good. Not even before your winter stores ran low, but that does add something to the flavor, I'm told.

I do this for every kid, every year. So that they always have something to look forward to in the dark of winter, so that they never lose hope that spring will come again, and bring something beautiful with it.

'Course, comin' here cut me off at the knees, so I'm gonna have to convince a lot more local kids to Believe before I have the power to cover the world in a day again.

[He's still sulking about being nerfed. Always, lowkey forever.]
