Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! ๐ŸงŸ Ep. 5: Goofing Off

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Heya! The day that you have all been waiting forโ€” Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES. I might as well give you a brief introduction, but if you had missed the last chapter you can catch it here, or start from the beginning here. I also have some art that you can find here.

The story ended last time when Clumsy Bird, Witty Toothpick, and Jazzy Hawk got word that there were more people out there surviving, and that they would hold a meeting on Goofball Island, in the city hall. So they set their yellow blimp on course to that islandโ€ฆ butโ€ฆ someone is watching their every move. And the team knows nothing about it at all.ย 

What happens next?

Youโ€™ll have to find out for yourself.

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Five: Goofing Off

It’s nearing morning.ย 

The yellow blimp passes several peaceful fields, gliding through the crisp morning air, over dew-spangled grass. The sun, just peeking over the horizon of hills, is bright and pure.ย 

And then there are the zombies.

They are a bright indigo color, and occasionally speckling the grass. But they are what turn this rather calm morning into something of a nightmare. The birds tweeting and calling are drowned out by the eerie moans and groans.

Clumsy Bird

Itโ€™s MORNING? Isnโ€™t this WONDERFUL?!

Clumsy Bird (or Birdy) seems extra cheerful this morning, perhaps because they were on their way to meet fellow survivors. She is bouncing around the small blimp, making it shake a little.

Witty Toothpick

Stop shaking the blimp! Itโ€™s too early in the morning! *yawn*

Clumsy Bird sits down on the chair by the blimp’s steering wheel, and keeps bouncing her feet off the group.

Clumsy Bird

I canโ€™t help it!! Iโ€™m just TOO EXCITED!

Jazzy Hawk

Stop talking! Weโ€™re tโ€” *yawn* tโ€”tired.

Birdy

Well, too bad! Wake up! WAKE UP!!! I CANโ€™T WAIT!

Fan Art Features, Social Media

Famous Poptropicans and Couches ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ

Hey Poptropicans โ€” pop in for the latest on social media, the only part of the Pop franchise that gets much updating these days! ๐Ÿช

Enjoy the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagramย stories, including running from spiders in krazytalez‘s Early Poptropica Island comic โ€” and if you haven’t seen the previous parts, catch them on the artist’s IG page.


Meanwhile on Twitter, Pop Creator Jon Pitcher continues to share throwbacks from his career with the game, from the early days with Spy Island to a showcase of famous Poptropicans, including a not-so-subtle relabeling for Shark Boy/Guy, which is a whole story in itself. ๐Ÿฆˆ

All these nostalgic tweets coupled with Poptropica’s inactivity with the game and Creators’ Blog has some players wondering if the end is near for Pop. It’s only speculation, but it doesn’t help that Poptropica ignores the call-outs from fans across social media โ€” even ours!

But while they may act as couch potatoes in that respect, they’re still busy pumping out memes and reacting to fan content on social media.

Poptropica reacts to the New York City blue couch meme.

Anyway, we’re sharing Pop-related social media posts from Jon Pitcher, Official Poptropica, and more on our Discord server, the PHC, so join us there for more updates! ๐Ÿฅณ
