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

Hey there, Poptropicans! It’s been a while, but I think I am ready to showcase my dream island!

Maybe a few of you already know a thing or two about my dream island from my backwater YouTube channel, or from the Poppies 2021 nominations. My original submission to Poptropica’s 2020 Dream Island Contest is found in this little video right here:

…It was the rush job of a lifetime. All those pages on the video were burned through in the last three weeks of the contest… during finals at the end of the school semester… while trying to make daily holiday advent videos at the SAME TIME!! …Although I was proud of what I made at the time, I almost lost my mind doing it!

The contest came and went, and although this island didn’t win, I’m glad it didn’t, because it gave me the chance to finish what I started. From the beginning of January 2021 all the way to the end of May, I fine-tuned my quest and completed my dream island once and for all. The last thing I did was compile my whole island story into new YouTube videos.

I’m much happier with these videos than I was with that old submission video. (I can’t even look at what’s in the old submission video anymore!) Anyway, enjoy Megatropolis Island told through comic panels in this trailer, five chapters, and even a bonus:

So, my dream island is complete at last, and I think it’s gonna blow your mind. But if you don’t have time to view it now, feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out my dream island comic videos (and any of my other videos) anytime you like!

Please let me know what you think of my dream island, either in this PHB comment section or in the comment sections of my videos! Thank you, and Pop to you later!

Fanfic: The Princess and the Raven, part 4 👸🐦

September 4, 2021June 15, 2022 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Shy Scorpion. Enjoy!

Hello! Shy Scorpion here with the next part of my fanfiction. In case you missed it, catch up on part 1, part 2, and part 3 here.

Scene: 1:00 p.m. at the Ye Olde Roastery Co. Ringmaster Raven is sitting under an umbrella waiting, half nervous and half excited. He keeps adjusting his signature top hat. Then Snow White arrives, looks around, spots Raven, and smiles.

SNOW WHITE:

Hi! I’m sorry I’m a little late, my wolf Pepperoni had to go out.

RAVEN:

No, it’s okay! Shall we order?

They go to the window and each order a coffee, then return to their table. Both of them are all smiles.

RAVEN:

So, you have a wolf, an interesting choice.

SNOW WHITE:

Yep, but I love Pepperoni, he is really sweet. Okay, what is one super random fact about you?

RAVEN:

(thinks for a moment) I can remember every face I’ve ever seen, does that count?

SNOW WHITE:

WOW! That is so cool!

Raven smiles, then a bell dings. They get up and get their coffees then return to their table. Snow White opens her mouth and closes it, then does it again. Raven calls her out and asks what is the matter.

SNOW WHITE:

(hesitantly) Can I ask you something, about your past?

RAVEN:

(face flushes) Sure.

SNOW WHITE:

(rapidly) Well, were you born with wings? Did you really start the fire? Why did you get left behind? Are your parents just like you?

RAVEN:

(flustered) Well, um, let’s see, what?

SNOW WHITE:

(calms down) I’m sorry, I just want to know who you really are, not what some newspaper says.

RAVEN:

Okay, my parents were normal Poptropicans, but for some reason the mixture of their genes caused a rare mutation. It gave me wings and feathers. They raised me as best they could but one day in a freak accident they died. I survived and ran away and just started wandering around until I got to a small town. Then the citizens found me and the rest is history.

SNOW WHITE:

Wow.

RAVEN:

Yeah, now Snow White, you have to tell me who you are.

SNOW WHITE:

Well, I’m technically a princess of a medium-sized kingdom. But my whole life I wanted to be someone else, a veterinarian! Unfortunately, my father betrothed me to a whiny prince. But when Rumplestiltskin kidnapped the king of Fairy Tale Island, it threw off the whole thing. So until they find him, the wedding is off and I can go live my dreams!

RAVEN:

So, you got your happy ending?

SNOW WHITE:

(smiles) Yeah, I guess I did.

They chat happily for a while longer, then they both get up and throw away their coffee cups.

SNOW WHITE:

Thanks for the lovely coffee and talk. I hope we can do this again soon.

RAVEN:

Yeah, I agree. Let’s definitely do this again, bye!

I hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to tell me in the comments what you think should happen next!

I also would like to give a shout out to another AMAZING fanfiction called “The Villain Saga” by MaryannTheConquerer here on the PHB. Episode 2.2 was just recently posted, and this saga was part of what inspired me to write my own Poptropica fanfiction. So if you like mine, feel free to check hers out. Well that’s it for now, see you next time Poptropicans! 👋

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Shy Scorpion. If you did, you might also enjoy The Villain Saga, which inspired this fanfic!

Spilling the tea on Amelia’s mini quest ☕️🦄

August 31, 2021September 10, 2021 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Giant Dragon, with screenshots from the PHB’s Slanted Fish. Enjoy!

Hel-lo Poptropicans! GD aka Giant Dragon here. A brand new mini-quest just dropped — let’s take a look!

First, we have to talk to Amelia on Home Island. She’s got a question mark on her head. When we talk to her, she says she hasn’t introduced herself properly, and invites us to tea at her house, which is on the floor above Adventure Outfitters. (Wow, two floors!)

Excuse all the Paw Patrol: The Movie ads you’re going to see along the way. Inside the store, to the right, you’ll see a secret doorway leading to the second floor. Go on, click enter. Then…

Did you cop that new Forest Druid costume?

Ta-da, she has her own clubhouse! (And I have to admit, it’s cute.) But first, breaking news: Amelia owns Home Island! According to her, she bought the deed to Home Island with the money she got from her adventures. Oh wow!!

Have fun exploring her place — it’s lore galore, so let’s talk about some of it! Noteworthy parts include the magical lipstick from Fairytale Island, a cute kitchen, and photographs of flying with Xavier and defeating the Red Baron (the rivalry runs deep!). Does anything else seem a bit familiar to you here? Looks like she’s been to Escape from Pelican Rock Island and gotten her own dummy head made!

Now as for the mini-quest, Amelia will tell you she’s missing some cargo that got lost on Survival Island, just a short ride away from Home Island on the map. Apparently she’s afraid of a certain sky pirate…

Make your way to Survival Island and head right to the second scene. There, you’ll find a box overstuffed with unicorn goodies on one of the snowcapped rock ledges. Take the Lost Cargo and return to Amelia’s!

Realizing you saw what was inside (I mean, girl, it is overflowing), Amelia will blush hard in an anime-like, sweat drop animation sequence never before seen in Poptropica. UwU or OwO? 😅😊😳

Anyway, she’ll give you 1,000 credits and a unicorn plushie décor for your clubhouse. Look, how cute!

And have a look at Amelia’s bedroom! Unicorns galore! You can tell her whether you think they’re cute or dorky, but either way, it’s now our little secret. For now… wonder what the Baron would think?

Remember the first sneak peek we saw of this mini-quest? We now get to see the final version! Too bad the identities of the others featured remains a mystery. Or is the one on the right the Baron?

Did you see the Crisis Caverns trophy from Poptropica Worlds? It seems your character doesn’t know what that “thing” is, so what do you think is the reason? The comments section is all yours…

That’s it from me today. Keep your eyes popped for my future posts. Bye!!!

The Four Glitches of the A-Pop-calypse 💥👾

August 13, 2021August 11, 2021 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dangerous Dragon. Enjoy!

Hi Poptropicans, DD here. For quite some time now while playing Poptropica, I’ve been encountering some glitches like these. Have you?

De-coded: There’s a glitch in the system.

1. Really laggy friends page

Have you noticed that the friends page takes a really long time to load, especially when you’re inviting your friends to the common room? After it has loaded, it also takes quite a bit of time to show people’s avatars in the blue circles.

2. Glitchy clubhouse

If you’re a person like me who likes to get as much stuff as possible into the clubhouse inventory, you might have encountered this. If you get an idea one day to redesign your clubhouse, you might find that your inventory is all messed up. Sometimes my items disappear, they don’t load, sometimes items overlay other items. Sometimes it just freezes on the spot.

3. Character page can’t reset

I figure this one probably happens to everyone. Ever try on a new costume? Before, when you were customising from the new costume and didn’t like part of it, you could just simply press the cross button to cancel the whole operation.

Now in the new character menu, when you wear something and take it off, the part doesn’t come back. Not even the reset button works. It’s just bad. I don’t understand why the creators had to change it. Before, in your inventory, you could just keep your cursor on the arrow and it would move by itself. Now you gotta keep clicking.

4. C’mon! Fix the black screen already

Seems like everyone experienced this: the black, black screen of death where the game doesn’t load and gets stuck for one whole day. This has been going on for a long time! I hope the creators fix this ASAP.

So these are the main issues that keep occurring — Poptropica’s four horsemen of the apocalypse, if you will. Now to end on a brighter note, here are a couple suggestions I have for features I’d like to see in-game:

Friend requests via message tab: If you’ve ever got two or more requests from people who want to friend you, you have to reload the page many times as you can only accept one by one. Instead of this, it would be great if we could get a message for each potential friend that we could scroll through. It could say something like: “Would You Like To Be Friends? Accept/Deny.”
Features from the old friend page: I have not seen the old friends page, but I have learnt about it through old posts and videos. Pop Quizzes, Tribes, Mood, Island Medallions, Album Photos and much more — it would be awesome to have those back.

That’s it for today!

Thanks and Keep Poppin,

DD 💜

POP it in the oven and bake it off 🎂

August 12, 2021August 11, 2021 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dangerous Dragon. Enjoy!

Hi Poptropicans, DD here with the new Pop advertisement! It’s for an upcoming Disney reality TV show called Magic Bake-Off. Head there through the map or the ad building.

Once you enter, you’ll be paired up with a team to bake a cake, facing off against another team. There are two rounds.

Let’s get baking! The instructions for round one will pop-up. Follow the steps, and soon the cake will be ready to bake in the oven.

Then comes the second round. Again, follow the instructions, and your cake will be done and decorated. That’s your cake!

For your efforts, you’ll win two prizes, a Sprinkles Cannon and Icing Blaster. Here’s me modeling the giant sprinkle gun.

That’s the end! I wonder… is this the real recipe they use in the Disney show? That’s it for today, now you try it!

Keep Poppin,

DD 💜
