Greetings Hawk-tropicans!ย This is Giant Hawk speaking, and I’ve got some pretty exciting news. This news being that I have officially become the PHB’s newest author!
Now, I’m sure not everyone on the blog here knows who I am. But then again, I think that’s what this blog post is for, right? Well, my real name is Joshua (I do prefer it over the nickname Josh), but do call me Giant Hawk, or if you wish, use the abbreviation GH.
If you wish to find me for any reason on Poptropica, my username is Joshuawesome8. If you want to find me across the web, check out my Gravatar, which has links to my Twitter page, my DeviantArt profile, and my user page on the Poptropica Wiki (on which I am an admin).
Also, I think I should mention that I am actually the older twin brother of Ultimate iPad Expert.
More on who I am, though. I am an extremely avid writer. In fact, I’m beginning to send out my written works locally in real life. Poptropica-wise, I also have something super big planned, so be on the lookout early November for the announcement.
Acting is also a super big part of my life – especially when it comes to the often overlooked art of voice over. I am a fan of a lot of professional voice actors, but my two favorites are Dee Bradley Baker and Tara Strong. Go look them up if you want – I’m sure you’ll recognize a lot of their characters.
Entertainment-wise, my favorite shows are Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. I also love Pixar’s movies.
Is there anything you guys think I missed here? Is there anything else about me you want to know? Feel free to leave as many comments below as you wish!
Until next time…
– – Giant Hawk

Thanks Slippery Raptor! Don’t worry, I’ll be cool if you call me Joshua. ๐
Welcome to the team, GH! I’m Silly Pelican! ๐
Another Poptropican named after a bird? Cool! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Welcome to the PHB!!! I’m excited to see your posts in the future!! ๐
Thank you! I’m super excited myself.
Welcome Joshua! And my name is Giant Hawk as well!
You have the same name? What an awesome coincidence!
Welcome to the PHB team, Joshua! Looking forward to everything you’ll bring to the community.
Thanks, SlantedFish!
Welcome to Poptropica GH! good luck on your part of PHB!
Thank you! I shall be ready for whatever comes! ๐
Welcome Josh\GH! Acting is also a huge part of my life! But anyway good luck and my poptropica user is Survive821 if anyone wants to add me!
Thanks for the welcome! I wish you luck in your real life acting!
PS: I prefer Joshua over Josh, but if you want, you can just call me Giant Hawk.
Welcome!
You’re a Gravity Falls and Steven Universe fan?! Favorite GF episode? Favorite SU episode?
Let’s see… My favorite Gravity Falls episode is probably either The Time Traveler’s Pig, Land Before Swine, or Not What he Seems. My favorite Steven Universe episode is probably either On the Road, Winter Forecast, or Nightmare Hospital.
Welcome to the team,Jalapeno-I mean,Josh! Let’s see what you bring to the community! =D
I shall bring my best and more ๐ As for my name, I prefer Joshua over Josh, but you can just call me Giant Hawk.
So excited to have my twin as a part of the team! ๐ I’m super excited for your announcement in November (although I know what it is already), everyone look out for that. ๐
Well aren’t you subtle ;P
Twins?
Yes, we are twins. Let me note, though, that this fact is in no way related to the reason why I joined the staff here. ๐
Wow, that’s awesome! ๐ I thought when you said twins you meant poptropica twins! XD
Nah. Our Poptropicans have just been friends since childhood. ๐
Welcome, Josh! I actually like Winter Forecast on SU, Too! im glad we have a new PHB author! ๐
Thank you! You can call me Joshua, by the way.
Ok… Joshua. ๐
Welcome GH! Hope you enjoy writing on the PHB ๐
Thanks, Ylimegirl!
Welcome “El Halcรณn Gigante”! I hope you have a great time writing for the PHB.
Just a little something for us bilingual Poptropicans, I see. ๐
Welcome, Giant Hawk! I can’t tell you how jealous I am of you! Congrats ๐
Thank you very much ๐
Hiya, GH! Can’t tell you how excited I am that I’ve found another avid writer WAHOO ๐ Also, would you rather be called Joshua or Giant Hawk (I couldn’t really tell from the post XD)?
Hoorah for avid writers! The world would be a much less interesting place without them ๐
Also, I prefer being called Giant Hawk over Joshua, but I don’t mind if people call me Joshua.
Out of curiosity, mind if I ask if you like constructive criticism? I kinda have a thing for it xD
Okay, I’ll take note of that ๐
Feel free to criticize constructively! That is one of the best ways to help someone become a better writer, after all.
True, true. People do that all the time to my stories ๐
Go figure. ๐
They look over my shoulder and crit me XD
That sounds slightly stressful xD
No, it’s just annoying. “PW, do you really think ________?!”
I feel ya xD I also can’t write when people are staring, which is what makes it stressful for me xD
A fellow writer who understands what I have to go through everyday of my life ๐
Agreed. Very much agreed. ๐
Giant Hawk, Dangerous Eye, and Popular Wolf. Together, they are the 3 Musketeers of Writing! XD
Not Captain Planet ๐
Beware our wordplay and witty written banter, for they are like double-edged swords!
The pen is mightier than the sword!
That’s why we are the writers of wrongs!
What? That’s enough puns? Okay…
When your bro sent me an invite to blog on Poptropican Awesomeness, he made the worst pun of all: Author-tunity! So I think we should make the Pun Fanclub!! Whoo, go puns!
Just kidding, the only time I like puns is when they’re subtle and not screaming LOOK AT MEEE!!
Oh puns. There are the best – yet, they are simultaneously the worst. Truly, puns are one of the world’s most profound mysteries. ๐
I would love to call it a triple-edged sword but we all know that is nonexistent xD
You are psychic!! I was just thinking about that earlier!!
I’ve been working on my powers ๐
Hey Josh,
could i put you in my comics?
Sure. Just let me see it when you finish. ๐
PS: I prefer Joshua over Josh.
Yes Sir!
So sad: GH keeps telling everyone he prefers to be called Joshua over Josh but everyone keeps calling him that!! ๐
Well, I have faith in you guys. You’ll get it, I just might have to say it a few more times. ๐
You should just have a post dedicated to that ๐
I’m wondering if everyone misunderstood the statement “Well, my real name is Joshua (I do prefer it over the nickname Josh)” ๐
TRUE!!
Yes… true. Very true. im going to call him Giant Hawk more though.
That’s cool with me. I didn’t choose Giant Hawk to be my Poptropica name for nothing, after all.
Hey Giant Hawk! Welcome to the PHB!
Thanks Wilbur! ๐
hi Josh
Hello Muddy Kid! ๐
Just a side note, but I prefer Joshua over Josh.
Joshua :3
GH, just wondering… would you like to work with me on a story about Poptropica’s origins?
Because you seem like you’d have the same types of ideas as me ๐
Sounds like it could be fun, actually. If you send me an e-mail about it (my e-mail is posted on my Gravatar, link in the blog post above) we could work it out together. It might not be canon with my usually works, though.
Welcome to the team buddy!!! ๐
Thanks SD!
Wow! You’re one of the top three PHB authors I can relate too!
—The Mad Apper*—

Whoa,a hundred comments already?! That’s pretty amazing for a first post,GH!
Well, I literally couldn’t have done it without you guys. ๐
Hey, GH, we both joined/found out about this site within a month! (I found out about it and you joined as one of the staff.)
P.S. The first phrase of your second paragraph sounds like my first journal entry.
P.P.S. How long have you been playing Poptropica?
In answer to your PPS, I have been playing Poptropica since 2011.
Oh my goodness! That’s how long I’ve been playing!
Welcome to PHB, Joshua!
Thank you!
