I’m so happy I actually won second place in Best Fanart! This year had a lot of great entries, Congratulations to all the winners!♡
Congrats to all the winners! 🥳 And thank you to the two Smarts of the PHB, Smart Bubbles and Smart Icicle, for hosting the Poppies — particularly Smart Bubbles who took the lead this year. 🏆
Plus, happy Sweet 16 to the PHB! Thanks to all of you who have stuck around, whether you’ve been in the fandom for ages or just discovered it recently. Hope you enjoyed the celebrations! 🩵
Happy Sweet 16 PHB! I really liked hosting the Poppies and had a really fun experience with the community in the after party. I can’t wait to see what the future of the PHB will look like from here onwards, but I know it will be amazing! I can’t wait to express the rest of my feelings tomorrow with Ask Poptropica Siri having a Poppies theme. I definitely have a lot of fun ideas that I can’t wait to share with you all, with Ask Poptropica Siri to more Pop-overs, here’s to more years of the PHB! 🎉
CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!!IM SO SORRY I COULDN’T MAKE IT THIS YEAR BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FUN!! 😀
Same here! And congrats M.K for winning multiple categories this year! I look forward to another year of Poptropicans, silliness and hopefully, no hoaxes/rumors/etc. of Poptropica.
Here’s to the PHB team and every Poptropican on this blog! Cheers! 🍷
Happy honkin’ sweet someteen! I’m really happy that we managed to take down Binary Bard. Kinda reminds me of SpongeBob in the Kids Choice Awards. Even if you really like it, you can see its victory coming a mile away, and vote for an underdog to try and prevent it. I actually made this to celebrate the victory. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1050151098/ I also liked the afterparty. It was one of the few things that brought me back to the Haxe version of Poptropica. And I got to friend THE Slanted Fish!
I just realized I was in the corner of the photo. Thank you for that!
