Popspiracy: the Red Baron is Not the Queen of Fairytale Island ๐Ÿ‘ธ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy Feather. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with a theory on Amelia and the Red Baron. I’m going to split this into two parts. This is part one, where I’m going to be discussing the theory of the Queen mentioned at the end of Rumpel’s Challenge being the Baron. You might have heard that theory, but I’m not here to prove it right. I don’t blame you if you think it is โ€” I thought so too, until I played Rumpel’s Challenge.

Let’s get into why I changed my mind, shall we? The picture that stirred it all up was this one from last Thanksgiving:

Some comments on that post suggested it was showing that the Baron was part of the royal family of Fairytale Island, and possibly was even the queen herself. Both the king and prince are crying, which makes sense considering they are afraid of the queen. Overall, this photo is a solid piece of evidence supporting the queen = Baron theory… or is it?

Let’s look at the photo closer, specifically the background. We see a silhouette of the queen and some cats with red glowing eyes. The queen seems to have long pointy eyelashes, but the Baron only has a few black lines for eyelashes like most female Poptropicans. Also, why would there be a silhouette of the queen with the Baron at the same time if they were the same character? Seems kinda pointless to me.

Let’s move on to our next piece of evidence: cats. A while back, the Pop Creators shared concept art of a character for Fairytale Island. Here it is:


The third picture of the character looks like the statue and the silhouette of the queen. But look at the first one: she’s holding a bunch of cats. In the background of the Thanksgiving photo, she is surrounded by cats. So the queen seems to like cats. As for the Baron? We have never seen her with a cat… in fact we’ve only seen her with one pet, Ack the monkey.

Still, need more proof? How about this golden statue of the Baron wearing a crown in the royal treasury of Fairytale Island?

Looks just like her, though she’s wearing a crown here. Meanwhile, the queen gets her own large statue in the middle of the treasury that looks totally different. Considering that most characters in Poptropica keep the same outfit, they are probably two distinct characters. Truthfully, I don’t see the Baron being an exception to this. So my thought is, the Baron is related to the queen, but she isn’t the queen herself.

The queen’s statue is right in the middle of the treasury with the sleeping dragon.

I came to that conclusion after considering what I shared above. You’re welcome to believe otherwise, but I have my mind made up.

Next time, I’ll be sharing my theory on how Amelia is a villain…

Popspiracy: Rumpel the Treasury Thief ๐Ÿ

Hey Poptropicans, this is aย guest postย by Young Rider.ย Enjoy!

Hello, fellow Poptropicans! I know the Rumpel’s Challenge side quest just opened up for non-members, and while I was looking at a picture in the walkthrough, I happened to notice a few interestingย things.

First off, from the Home Island quest, where did Xavier’s statue go? Did it stay in the pond in our backyard where we confronted Xavier? I have an answer. In the top right corner of the treasury, Xavier’s statue lies half submerged in gold. Did Rumpelstiltskin stealย it from our backyard?

What if Rumpel dressed up as Xavier and stole the statue? And what is up with that big bag “Xavier” was carrying โ€” was it gold? Looks like the treasury had lots of gold. What if Rumpel was stealing more?

Next, why is there a golden pineapple in the lower corner of the treasury? Sure looks like one of the starter items from when you first get your clubhouse. Speaking of which, where do those starter clubhouse items even come from? What if Rumpel stole them from the treasury of Fairytale Island and sold them to the clubhouse dealer for profit?

That’s all for now, hope you like this post!

My Place In Poptropica: Young Rider

This is a guest post from Young Rider sharing her My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about oneโ€™s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!

Hi, my Poptropica name is Young Rider, and here is My Place In Poptropica.

2019 | Cool Math & Confusion

So I started with Cool Math Games like many people, and that’s where I found Poptropica. I looked at the description and I thought it sounded really cool. Next, I created an account. I was confused in the beginning, but then I found out it was fun. I played Poptropica for about a year and then forgot about it.

2020 | Revisiting

I was looking at my history a little while later and I saw Poptropica. I searched it up and started to play it again. But it started to get glitchy, so I stopped playing it.

2022 | Flight of Flash

I heard about Flash not being a thing anymore, and I remembered some games that were on Flash. I rememberedย Poptropica yet again and made a new account so I could play it again. I saw how much had changed, and was disappointed. But I quickly moved on.

I got confused on Mythologyย Island, so I searched up a walkthrough. That’s how I found theย PHB! I saw how many walkthroughs they had and it has become my favorite site ever since. I have used countless walkthroughs on this blog. Then I saw Dizzy Feather’s “My Place in Poptropica” post so I thought I would try to make my own. Here we are!

Fanfic: The Pink Knight, Part 3/4 ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿชถ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy FeatherEnjoy!

It’s Dizzy Feather here, with part three of my fanfiction, The Pink Knight. (Read parts one and two here!) Also, the next and last Poptropican to be featured in the story is Pink Crush. (Don’t worry if you didn’t get picked; there may be more chances in the future.) That said, let’s go!

We see DIZZY FEATHERย walking inside of the Con. Suddenly a group of people run past her and security pushes them back. DIZZY FEATHER pushes through the crowdย to see what all the fuss is about. In front of the crowd is a small table with clothes hanging. On the right there is a green folding chair seating famous fashion designer PINK CRUSH.

SECURITY GUARD: 
OK, one at a time.

The GUARDS make sure people to stay in line. DIZZY FEATHER walks away from the line.

A few hours later, PINK CRUSH walks out of the Con exhausted, and crashes into โ€” DIZZY FEATHER, literally. DIZZY FEATHER gets back on her feet first and walks over to help PINK CRUSH up.

Pink Crush

DIZZY FEATHER: 
I’m so sorry! Are you OK?

PINK CRUSH takes DIZZY FEATHER’s hand and gets back up.

PINK CRUSH: 
Apology not necessary, and yes, I’m OK. 

DIZZY FEATHER: 
You’re Pink Crush, right?

PINK CRUSH: 
Yes I am. 

DIZZY FEATHER: 
I don’t want to bother you too much โ€” I’m sure you’re always being bothered by fans. But I love your work, especially your smart cape and the safety jumpsuit you came out with a couple years ago.

PINK CRUSH: 
Wow! I can’t believe you remember those. They were not popular or fancy, but they’re some of my favorites.

DIZZY FEATHER: 
It always confused me how they got bad reviews! The cape literally popped off when it was pulled on or got caught on fire, and the jumpsuit was so thin but bulletproof and fireproof. They were amazing.

PINK CRUSH: 
The bad reviews were because nobody thought they’d be useful for normal Poptropicans. Call me crazy, I actually knew the reviews would be bad, but I designed them for superheroes.

DIZZY FEATHER: 
I don’t think you’re crazy! There are real superheroes out there.

PINK CRUSH: 
Thanks. I wonder if the superheroes have cape problems, like if their capes get stuck on things and stuff โ€” you never see that in movies.

DIZZY FEATHER: 
Is that why you made the smart cape, to somehow help the superheroes out there?

PINK CRUSH: 
That and I have always wanted to design something for a superhero! The jumpsuit and cape are probably the closest I’ll ever get to doing that.

DIZZY FEATHER: 
You never know, it could happen one day. Sorry I took up so much of your time, have a great rest of your day!

PINK CRUSH: 
You too.

Cut to DIZZY FEATHER in the atrium. Suddenly a figure leaps out of the shadows and pulls the straps on Dizzy Feather’s backpack. Her outfit is replaced with the PINK KNIGHT’s uniform.

Purple Galaxy

PURPLE GALAXY: 
Hello, Pink Knight. I haven’t seen you in two years. Whatcha doing here?

PINK KNIGHT: 
I could say the same to you! Amelia sent me to protect the Con this year.

PURPLE GALAXY:
Well, I would have liked to have more than one person stopping an invasion, but I don’t have a choice. Omegon is attacking Home Island with an army of robots! The Knight Squadron is taking care of that though. Meanwhile, the Lightning Hero is defending the kingdom of Arturus from Binary Bard, and I was going to hop in the spaceship and shut down E. Vile’s invasion, but I’m going to help the Lightning Hero since you’re here already.

PINK KNIGHT: 
I thought that was E. Vile’s spaceship. Also, how were you planning on stopping E. Vile’s invasion from inside the spaceship?

PURPLE GALAXY: 
Just get inside the spaceship and unplug the main computer. It’s easy, there’s no way it could go wrong.

PURPLE GALAXY disappears. The PINK KNIGHT pulls the string out of her pocket and her uniform turns back into DIZZY FEATHER’s.

History Lesson: Golden age, silver age, outrage… we’ve got it all.

Hope you enjoyed the third part of this story! Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
