Ultimate Asgard Realm Tour 🔨🌳⚡️ with Master Creator Invisible Ring

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

This is it, the best of my seven Realms for last: my Home Realm, Asgard. It’s my first Realm, and one of the first experiences I ever had when I first came to Poptropica back in the fall of 2014. It was so strange, and so different from the Poptropica that I visited in 2008… and yet so beautiful. I was utterly lost in the mountains and trees and rainclouds here, none the wiser that Realms was just as new to Poptropica as I was… and none the wiser on how much Realms had in common with Minecraft.

…And apparently none the wiser that these rainclouds are soaking me right now! *ACHOO!* …I better finish my thoughts INSIDE this house rather than on top!

There, that’s better.  Now, as I was saying, this is my first Realm, AND my favorite. And this is the first house I ever built here in Realms! …Those were the days when I was just learning HOW to create, much less mine and explore Realms, but I took to it like a fish to water and gave it a try.  I LOVED how this first try came out, and I still love it now.

🎨 Poptropica Community Art Collab: Come Join the Genie Dance 🧞‍♂️🧞🧞‍♀️

Slanted Fish

This is a guest post by Lucky Fish. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans! I’m back here on the PHB with a new community art collab for you all. This collaboration is themed around the genies of Arabian Nights Island, where you get to draw your Poptropican (or anyone) as a genie! Feel free to give your genie a name, and even some lore. All of the submissions will be featured on a collage to be revealed…

And to add to the fun, at the end I will also announce the following awards: Most Creative Genie, Scariest Genie, and Cutest Genie. 🏆

Puffed Up: The smoke gets in your eyes.

How to Participate 🧞‍♂️

  1. 🧞‍♂️ Create or draw a genie of your choice. This can be a genie of your Poptropican, yourself, or anyone! Please save your art as a ✨png file with a transparent background✨; doing this makes it easier for me to add your piece to the collage. Besides drawing, you can also create a genie costume in Poptropica and share a screenshot, ideally with a solid color background.
  2. ⬆️ Upload your picture to the internet and share it with me (max 3 images). Post your art to a website that supports transparent images such as Imgur, then share the link in the comments of this post, or by messaging my Instagram @poptropicafanblog1.
  3. 🗓️ Submissions will close on July 21 (Tue) at 11:59pm EST, with the finished collage to be revealed on the PHB on July 26 (Sun) to celebrate the PHB’s 18th birthday! 🥳

I can’t wait to see all of the finished pieces! Thank you for reading, and have an excellent start to your summer!

Djinn and Tonic: One of these is the cure for what ails you.
