CUT TO inside the building. BLACK WIDOW is being led back to her cell.

Once they reach the doors, the guard pulls out his key, letting WIDOW back into her cell. Heโ€™s about to head out, but then he hears strange, clanging noises from RAVEN’S cell.

GUARD

What are you doing?

He knocks on RAVEN’S door.

GUARD

Hey!

More noises. The GUARD unlocks it and peeks inside–

Amelia says April Fools ๐Ÿ’‹

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 โ€” 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 unicโ€”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! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Community Creations

Community Creations: March 2023

community-creations-logo

Hello once again everyone! Spotted Dragon here bringing you theย March recapย for Community Creations.ย March’s themeย wasย Luck,ย so be sure to check out all the featured artists!

No clue whatโ€™s going on? Go see our intro post.

Top 5 Picks

Luck Master Costume by Young Rider

Kicking things off, this St. Patrick’s Day top hat is a show stopping accessory. I love the green, a color commonly associated with luck, used throughout the outfit to make it cohesive. Plus, all the natural, flowery elements help to tie in that lucky clover. Cool costume! Find the artist in the comments section.

Past Good Luck Charmsย by Dizzy Feather

Uh oh! Looks like even some classic good luck charms can’t counteract the bad luck this Poptropican seems to have. I love the cartoon-style humor that the two panels have. Very comical comics! Find her DeviantArt here.

Breaking Mirrors is Bad Luck by Golden Owl

Oooh, the lighting in this submission is quite captivating! The pattern of the carpet and the neon lights really capture this arcade-style setting and the over-the-shoulder pose of the character makes for an interesting composition. I also love the comic-style incorporation of text! It’s a great take on Ringmaster Raven’s boss battle, with the focus on luck making the scene feel all the more threatening and intense. Find the artist in the comments and on the PHC Discord.

Who Needs a Curse With You Around by TillyMeowJings-ARSB

Curses and luck definitely go hand in hand, and the curse of stolen artifact is no exception! Or, should I say the curse of the player themselves? The joke is cheesy but brutal, made even more so by the tragic expression of the player. Wonderful sense of humor! Find their Tumblr here.

A Real Life Leprechaun by sleepybiker

Of course, we can’t talk about luck in the month of March without some good ol’ fashion Leprechaun imagery. A continuation of this little doodle, the simple scene demonstrates an engaging personality. The style is super cute and the humor is quite light and fun. Find her DeviantArt here.


Honorable Mentions

I have to say, I’m quite lucky to get to see all this amazing art every month! I’m green with envy over all your talent, and I look forward to what you guys submit next time! ๐Ÿ€


April: How Do I Participate?

Community Creations is a cool series for anyone in the Poptropica community to join in on. To sum up what itโ€™s about, itโ€™s basically a chance to show off your artwork, creepy fan-fics, Pop clubhouses, costumes, and anything else that pops into your mind.

If we really like the piece you submit, we will feature it here on the PHB! As long as it relates to that monthโ€™s theme. So what is April’s theme? April’s theme isโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ“บ Reality TV! ๐Ÿ“บ

Okay, so perhaps Amelia isn’t actually getting her own TV series, but Poptropica hasn’t necessarily shied away from thinking in the realm of television. And with no new islands as of late, my mind has drifted back to some of the classics like Reality TV Island and how things have changed, like with its more recent revamp of Wild Safari.

While we’ve touched on this topic a bit with themes like movies & TV, I want to really focus on the (albeit not-so-real) reality genre this month. Draw your favorite scenes from Reality TV Island or its sequel, or turn your favorite IRL reality TV stars into Poptropicans by replicating their most iconic looks in a costume. Maybe even come up with your own reality TV challenge like a mini-game ready to play in Poptropica? The limits are up to you!

Hollywood, here I come.
  • Submit: Comment below with a link to whatever youโ€™ve created, email it to the PHB team on our Contact page, OR share it with me (SydVC aka Spotted Dragon) on DeviantArtTwitterTumblrDiscord, OR the PHBโ€™s Instagram.
  • Results: Next month, I will feature 5 submissions that stood out to me the most as well as some honorable mentions.
  • Limitations: Just make sure you relate to both the theme and Poptropica (and nothing NSFW or otherwise inappropriate).
  • Due Date: I will take any entries before the end of this month. Submit as many things as youโ€™d like!

I will be sure to let you know I have seen your creation. While quality counts, Iโ€™m mainly looking for something to simply catch my eye, so donโ€™t be afraid to join in!

So what are you waiting for? Go make something awesome!

The PHB Presents: Amelia in Poptropica ๐Ÿ“บ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post withโ€”Amelia in Poptropica?! Yup, the one and only. Weโ€™ll let her take it awayโ€ฆ

Bonjour, Poptropicans, itโ€™s Amelia! You remember me, right?

Ya girl from Home Island is about to go BIG! I mean, Iโ€™m already pretty pops on Pop, but things are about to get bigger. Today Iโ€™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 showโ€™s got everything: comedy, drama, unicorns, rivalry, and even romance (guess which ones the infamous Baron is tangled up in?). And in this series, Iโ€™ve got a big ambition: expansion. Not of islands โ€” you donโ€™t really still think Poptropica is bringing any new islands ashore, do you? โ€” 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 Iโ€™ve got plans to bring it to every island on Poptropica. Itโ€™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!

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

Anyway, Amelia in Poptropica premieres here on the PHB on April 31 and I canโ€™t wait for you all to watch it! Until then, au revoir! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Unicorns in ubiquity,
Amelia in Poptropica ๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿฆ„


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 fansโ€”who doesn’t?

The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? Weโ€™d love to hear from you!
