Slanted Fish

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

Hello there! It’s Magic Kid back with the next episode (episode 16)  in my fanfiction, Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! If you missed the last episode, you can catch it here, or if you’d like to start from the beginning, here.

Normally I would update you on the story so far, before you read what happens next, but I have one word for y’all: MWAHAHAHAHA! Enjoy!  🙂

A Zomberry Series

Episode Sixteen: Blueberries… AGAIN

The friends were coming closer to the wall, determined that nothing could go wrong, nothing at all.

Unfortunately things were going to go wrong. Things were going to go as wrong as they tended to do with all of Poptropica amidst an apocalypse.

Agent Thorn, shaken by the recent discovery of who her boss REALLY was, was walking down a flight of stairs when she glanced out a small window. The window had a perfect view of the hot air balloon coming ever closer to the wall. Three people were visible on the balloon and Thorn knew at once who those three people were. And she knew at once what she had to do.

It was kinda fun to be the bad guy, she had to admit, even though she should be focusing on her main goal.

She ran down the stairs and alerted the wall guards on her walkie-talkie.

Thorn

Three persons aboard a hot air balloon, heading towards the wall. Capture unharmed and under no circumstances are you to zombie-fy them, copy?

Guard (from walkie)

Copy that, Thorn. Capture, unharmed, and un-zombied. Where do we bring them?

Thorn

Just put them in one of the cells when you’re done!

Guard (from walkie)

Copy that.

Thorn walked quickly down the stairs. Part of her hoped that the three would get away… but she knew what had to be done. And if she couldn’t save them, she thought as she reached an elevator and ran inside, she might as well get a front seat for it.

Out on the blimp, the three friends were nearly at the wall, determined to save Toothpick.

Poptropica Activity Books of Fun ✏️✂️🔎

Slanted Fish

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

Did you ever notice how many activities were scattered across the Poptropica Help Blog and the *cough*… “late” Poptropica Creators’ Blog? I thought that maybe someone should gather all those activities up into one spot so it could be more convenient to find… so I did.

First up, the Ultimate Activity Book: compiling not only the Poptropica activities and coloring pages, but also some additional coloring pages to honor the sponsored islands. BONUS: Lots of revived Poptropica activities and custom-made goodies in there, made by yours truly!

Next, I gathered up every Poptropica cut-out I could find, both here and on the Creators’ Blog, and put them together into a complete Crafts & Cut-outs collection. (See also: The PHB’s DIY Paper Crafts collection!)

And last but not least, it is my duty as the first person to have saved all the comics from the old sponsored islands of Poptropica to share them with all of you in this Scavenger’s Comic Book!

poptropica-scavenger-bookDownload

…But am I a scavenger, merely digging up activities that are already dug up? Am I a mere plagiarist stealing activities everywhere, putting them into books and calling them my own?

Gosh, no! It may look like that, but that’s not what I’m doing at all! I say that these are my books; not in the sense that I came up with everything in the books (I did come up with a few things, though), but in the sense that I worked so hard putting these books together for everyone to enjoy at no extra charge. 

Whatever activities I got from other websites are free downloadable PDFs in which I have cited and included their web links, and whatever activities I found by way of Google are those I checked to be sure they are royalty-free. For I do not intend to steal; I intend to share.

This is a non-profit project only meant to spread some fun for all those who are looking for it! And if that’s you, then look no further than these three free downloadable (and printable) books to share with your friends and family, compliments of Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy another print-out project of hers, Bringing Mighty Action Force to life.

Fanfic: Wilson School of Magic 🪔 Prologue

Slanted Fish

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

Hey Poptropicans! It’s me, Silver Sword ⚔️/Shy Wing 🦋. I know you haven’t heard from me in a while, so I’ve decided to to make a new fanfic! Also, this story features a Poptropican and PHB reader, Magic Kid. Enjoy!

WILSON SCHOOL OF MAGIC 🪔 PROLOGUE

One bright, sunny day on Home Island, Poptropicans were bustling around the whole place. There were lines of new Poptropicans trying to get into Poptropica for the first time, lines to Adventures Outfitters that went outside, millions of blimps taking off and landing, and so much more going on.

Magic Kid looked through her clubhouse window to try and figure out why this was all happening, when suddenly she remembered.

MAGIC KID: “How could I forget? Today’s the first day of Winter!”

She jumped down to the bottom level of her clubhouse and looked around for her winter coat, but when she found it, Magic Kid realized it was very old and dirty.

MAGIC KID: “Guess I’m due for a new coat. To Amelia’s shop!”

She ran out the door and past the line to Adventures Outfitters, accidentally cutting in front of the Poptropican who was up next.

AMELIA (breathlessly): “Good to see you, Magic Kid! What are you looking for today?”

MAGIC KID: “A new coat, please.”

Amelia passed her a brand new coat.

AMELIA: “Take it for free today. I thought I would never say this, but I think I’m gonna earn too much money today.”

Magic kid thanked Amelia and ran back home. She felt something in one of the pockets. She took it out.

MAGIC KID (gasping): “This lamp looks like magic! I’ll put it right here.”

Then she ran off to try her new coat on. However, Magic Kid was too busy to notice some weird noises coming from the lamp…

TO BE CONTINUED…

Episode Fifteen: I Spy

The three friends were in that hot air balloon and had been scanning the ocean for hours. As there wasn’t much to do other than occasionally steering the ship, they had settled for a game of I Spy, which was still very boring.

Icy Stone

I spy with my little eye something… blue.

Jazzy Hawk (semi-gloomily)

Water.

Icy Stone (sarcastically)

Wow? How could you have guessed?

Truth be told, all they could see WAS water. The ocean stretched to all the corners of the horizon, leaving almost nothing but a blue expanse, speckled with a handful of islands. None of the islands they passed looked like it had anything similar to the helicopter they had seen on it. Every island was full of zombies, little purple dots from the view on the hot air balloon, and they served as a reminder on how much damage the apocalypse had done. On how much they had to save.

Clumsy Bird was looking through binoculars through the horizon, keeping an eye out for any upcoming islands.

Clumsy Bird

I spy… OH! An island!

Fan Spotlight 🌞 Poptropica: The Movie

Slanted Fish

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

Monochrome: These colors don’t run.

Hey there, Poptropica fans! Hope things are going well for you all. (You’ll probably tell me they aren’t though, with the complicated alarms of Poptropica’s end and everything, but I had to say it anyway.)

I’m Invisible Ring, and I’m here to share with you something that should’ve shown up as a guest post on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog many months ago. It’s not my (still upcoming) pirate movie, but a retro movie I found long ago while I made my first movie. Introducing one of my all-time favorite fan productions: Poptropica: the Movie!

In this by-fan, for-fan production, from the vault of “Production Poptropica”: A normal kid (Spotted Bubbles, aka Graham Burrell), whose favorite thing in the world is Poptropica, is called on a special quest in the Great Beyond, where his Poptropican adventuring skills are put to the test. Loaded with action and laughs, this movie is not just about the world of Poptropica, but also the real world from which it came.

…You see, it was just around this time of year when I found this movie (from 2011!) and watched it. And although it wasn’t a holiday program, it gave me great cheer for the cold dark winter, and I hope it’ll give all of you great cheer, too. I bet we all could use it right about now.

Hope you enjoy the movie, and stay tuned for more Invisible Ring guest posts like this one that never got to go on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog!
