Very Important Memes for Comical Peeps 🌟

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Pop in for a stop at the shop, self-proclaimed cursed memes, a new VIP, and a round of fan art, including comics. Let’s go!

First up, Adventure Outfitters has restocked with rain gear and florals for the spring season, along with matching fits for pets. 🌼🌸

This week on Instagram, Poptropica’s been popping with memes. Here’s one of a good pink bunny… not at all like the mascot we know! 🐇🥕

Another one features a UFO — oh wait, we do know what this wild object is in the sky: the Poptropica blimp! 🛸 As the tags say, #cursedmemes.

More strange shenanigans are happening on social media: Poptropica just awarded a Very Important Poptropican (VIP) badge to Pop fan Mighty Rock (who’s active on Instagram and Twitter) — reviving the VIP program that hasn’t been touched in over 5 years!

The Official VIP program launched in 2017, offering the right to display a spiffy badge, sneak peeks to share of then-upcoming Crisis Caverns Island, and promising more perks that never materialized, such as VIP sites being linked to from Poptropica’s website. With this development, will we see more of the VIP program in the future? As one of the OG VIP sites, here at the PHB, we certainly hope so! 🤞

Last but not least, here are the latest works of fan art featured on Poptropica’s Instagram stories. Click on the artists’ names to view posts in full — especially for the comic adaptation of Early Pop Island! 🎩

Fanfic: The Story of White Cloud, Part 1/4 ☁️

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Silver Sword. Enjoy!

Olympus has Risen: We’ve always had our heads in the clouds.

White Cloud journeyed to Home Island after a long and tiring trip from Mythology Island. She walked up to her clubhouse door, ready to look at her favourite picture (and maybe take a nap) before journeying to another island for another quest. White Cloud entered her clubhouse and climbed to the top, where her bed was.

“Mythology is tiring,” she thought out loud. She sat down on the bed and looked up at her favourite picture, ready to take a nap.

But the picture looked different. Instead of a picture of White Cloud and her friend, Dizzy Thunder, playing on Fairy Tale Island, there was a picture of Amelia. The picture looked like Amelia was in a jungle, in a purple puddle on a tree, and sinking into the puddle! White Cloud could tell that the picture (or perhaps Amelia) was trying to tell her something.

“I need to help Amelia, but where in Poptropica is she?”said White Cloud. Then it came to her. There was only one place Amelia could be… V1 Island! But where could it be? White Cloud checked all her maps for V1 Island, but couldn’t find it.

“Even though I don’t know where it is yet, I should probably pack. V1 island is forbidden, after all.” White Cloud packed everything she thought she would need for a trip to a dangerous and forbidden place like V1 Island. She sat back down on her bed and checked all her maps again, but she still couldn’t find the island!

“Ugh! I will never find V1 island on my own.” White Cloud looked at the picture again. This time, the picture started glowing! White Cloud watched in horror as the picture started pulling her inside — then she started to hear Amelia’s cry for help…

To be continued

Thanks, bye!

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 1: The Play That Was Never Performed

Slanted Fish

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

Hello, all readers! It’s Magic Kid here today! 

Welcome one and all to the beginning of “ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!” — a story of zombies, survival, Poptropica, and — we can’t forget this — blueberries! 

I’m really excited to get this fanfiction started, and hopefully you’re excited to read it. The first episode is kind of an introduction to the story (and some questions may get answered later, so don’t fuss about it). Thank you all so much, and enjoy!

Silver Screen: It’s one of our favorite famous monsters of filmland.

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode One: The Play That Was Never Performed

The curtain to the stage is closed. The Audience gathers around in the theater’s seats, making a hum of chatter like buzzing bees. 

They all gather and by the time that nearly everyone is sitting and comfortable, perhaps munching on popcorn, or checking their watches, they all begin to wonder why the play hasn’t started yet, and the hum of excited voices becomes bugged and worried.

A family of three sits at the front of the audience, feeling the same anticipation as everyone else.

Audience Dad

Why aren’t they starting already? They’re more than ten minutes late!

Audience Mom

Shush dear, I’m sure it’s all just a big misunderstanding, they can’t be much longer.

A little boy sitting next to them is fidgeting from sitting still for so long.

Audience Little Boy

Mommy, when’s the play going to start? I’m bored!

Audience Mom

Have some popcorn or some of this smoothie, they have to start soon.

 The little boy munches on the buttery popcorn, and then just decides to devour it all.

The buzzing noise intensifies as people begin to get more concerned or annoyed. 

But the stage continued to have the dark velvet curtains closed. Just as everyone thinks that it won’t happen, that the play was canceled, and everyone begins to leave, grumbling all the way…

The lights darken smoothly.

 The talking becomes a hush as everyone hurries back to their seats, excited.

A grand voice issues from the unseen speakers, echoing impressively throughout the theater.

Play Narrator (Jazzy Hawk)

Welcome one and welcome all! Young and old, welcome! Welcome to 24 Carrot Theater’s production of The Carrot-Apocalypse! We must thank the mayor of this town for remodeling this room so we can give you live performances. We’ve brought you actors and actresses from all across Poptropica for you to enjoy tonight!

The Play Narrator continues to talk, to stall, because backstage, where his magnified voice is muffled, a disaster is going on.

Amelia says April Fools 💋

Slanted Fish

Bonjour, Poptropicans! You can’t trust everything you read in the tabloids, and in the case of one recent story of ours, the announcement of a TV show starring Amelia was just fake news. April Fools!

We hope our little joke featuring the most iconic Home Islander gave you a good laugh. While “Amelia in Poptropica” isn’t real, it is inspired by an actual Netflix series: the trashy yet entertaining “Emily in Paris” (for ages 17+), also featuring an influencer who insists on her way.

So while we’re here, why don’t we check with our girl on her thoughts to your questions? Let’s pass the mic over to Amelia:

Buying up Home Island might seem like a lot, but it’s really just a small town, a place for Poptropicans to pass through in between adventures. If you know me, you know I’ve always had a dream to outfit the people of Poptropica. Besides, it’s not about how many items are stocked; you can cultivate a great wardrobe with just a few favorite pieces.

Oh, and the others? I like the Baron, but I’m not really sure the Baron likes me. You wonder about the disappearance of Monkey Wrench, right? It’s her wretched wrench-throwing that killed the Flying Ace Race — this is why we can’t have nice things! And she’s not the only one with a vengeance. Myron van Buren tried to steal my unic—I mean, secret package I had out in the woods!!

Amelia

You can see how Amelia’s main character syndrome could inspire a binge-worthy show, right? Though we can’t make it a reality, we hope the daydream could ameliorate your day with some fun. Au revoir! 😘

💙🤍❤️

PHB Specials, Pranks

The PHB Presents: Amelia in Poptropica 📺

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post with—Amelia in Poptropica?! Yup, the one and only. We’ll let her take it away…

Bonjour, Poptropicans, it’s Amelia! You remember me, right?

Ya girl from Home Island is about to go BIG! I mean, I’m already pretty pops on Pop, but things are about to get bigger. Today I’m chuffed to announce that I, Amelia Earhart, am partnering with the Poptropica Help Blog for an exclusive TV series all about my life in Poptropica!

The show’s got everything: comedy, drama, unicorns, rivalry, and even romance (guess which ones the infamous Baron is tangled up in?). And in this series, I’ve got a big ambition: expansion. Not of islands — you don’t really still think Poptropica is bringing any new islands ashore, do you? — rather, the time is ripe to expand my brand. Weekly store rotations were just the beginning!

Right now, my store Adventure Outfitters is just a little building on Home Island, but I’ve got plans to bring it to every island on Poptropica. It’s going to be a massive business, and no ringarde sky pirate with an ephemeral curiosity cabin is going to be able to mess with that!

I’m also embarking on my journey as an influencer, bringing my native Home Island perspective to all the other islands of Poptropica. (I’m sure they’ll love me.) Along the way, I’ll be documenting my très bien girlboss adventures on social media. Follow me! Here’s a preview with some behind-the-scenes shots from this exciting upcoming series:

You know what every island needs? More unicorns! UwU they’re my babies
I’m even taking over new dimensions of Poptropica. Welcome to my Roblox hideout!
Someday, they’ll be lining up for me.
Might just buy this old museum and turn it into an Adventure Outfitters.
Scouting for store locations is tough work. Just gotta hang in there.
Deforestation is a dirty word — I prefer to think of this as building a blessing!
Look, we all have our cringe moments… don’t expose me like this T_T
I don’t know how I got this gig on Fairytale Island either, but the gnomes let me dress them in my signature red hat!
Get yourself a business partner who isn’t going to throw a wrench in your plans!
My unrequited love to the Baron, all wrapped up in this sickly Grapple-Pop.

Anyway, Amelia in Poptropica premieres here on the PHB on April 31 and I can’t wait for you all to watch it! Until then, au revoir! 😘

Unicorns in ubiquity,
Amelia in Poptropica 💋🦄

Hope you enjoyed this, uh, totally legitimate guest post from the Poptropica aviator icon herself, Amelia Earhart. If you did, tell her what you hope to see in her show! Amelia loves hearing from her fans—who doesn’t?
