Creator Pop-In: Skinny Moon Meme Edition

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, what’s popping?

Earlier tonight, some strange shenanigans went down on Twitter and the PHC Discord: Skinny Moon memes! It got the attention of the Poptropica Creator herself – and so, curious about the pics, Skinny Moon popped on the PHC at about 9:40pm Eastern and stayed for a quick chat.

Because these kinds of things don’t happen too often (although you can catch up on a few of these Creator sessions by scrolling here), we’ve recorded a lot of her messages here for your benefit. What can we say? She’s a Poptropica celebrity and we need to obsessively document the good stuff.

By the way, here are some more of those lovely memes. You can thank idk, Yujo, and kenny for the oddball amusement:

And now for the exclusive (and somewhat esoteric) chat sesh:

idk (not your lime): Did the lime get delivered safely?
Skinny Moon: OMG I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT AHHHHHHH

Friendly Foot: Hello?? What’s going on with all the color changes on Home Island?
Skinny Moon: We are just mixing things up a little on the Home Island. Just for fun!

not your lime: Can you join our lime kingdom?
Skinny Moon: I’m dying laughing and I’m so confused.

kenny: (attaches meme)

unknown-3

Skinny Moon: That Spongebob dude totally swiped my turtleneck.

Short Feather (TANGERINES): is the phb the only poptropica blog you read?
Skinny Moon: I’ll read any Poptropica fan blog if you tweet me your posts!

Spoopy Skunk: Do you like birds?
Skinny Moon: Sure

Yujo: Is this just a bird-specific set of questions now?
Skinny Moon: I’m partial to Labrador Retrievers, tbh.

not your lime: What happened to that New Poptropica sneak peek you were talking about?
Skinny Moon: It’ll happen, we just have a ton to talk about first on the blog. I have had to post twice today! Sneak peek sometime this month. It’s a small thing, not like the house poll.

Tall Cactus (Happy Bday To Meh): hey. It’s my bday
Skinny Moon: YAY!!! Happy birthday! My b-day is next week! #GoLibras

MissEligon: If you had to choose of all four villains: Dr. Hare, Black Widow, Captain Crawfish, and Binary Bard Who would be your favorite?
Skinny Moon: You really want me to choose???

TANGERINES: are you aware of some of our craziness and cheese and clam obsessions?
Skinny Moon: I am not aware and am slightly scared. lol

Friendly Foot: What do you think of limes?
Skinny Moon: Limes are awesome

Tall Cactus: how often will you come on Discord?
Skinny Moon: well I got lured in by IDK and crazy lime talk tonight

not your lime: So, have you ever heard of the Poptropica developer “Gabriel Jensen”? His account got deleted after it was hacked. :frowning:
Skinny Moon: Sounds familiar, but before my time

felisha: when will new pop be out
Skinny Moon: I can’t give that info out, sorry! Sometime this year!

Yujo: Will the Adventurer’s Saloon, as well as the rest of Sky Dock, be incorporated into Poptropica at some point?
Skinny Moon: If that’s stuff taken from our files I have no comment.

In response to several comments from Poptropicans worrying about the upcoming New Poptropica update, Skinny Moon also had this to say:

Don’t worry, there’s something coming to the store for members that Poptropicans have been asking for and only members will get, so you’ll be happy! Don’t be apprehensive about New Poptropica. It’s going to be awesome and will stay true to the spirit of Poptropica! Old Pop won’t just go away.

Eventually, after popping in for about fifteen minutes, she wrapped up with a final message:

Okay all you crazy kids. I’m tired. Gotta go. Have to work tomorrow so we can keep bringing you cool stuff on Poptropica! Bye! So fun seeing you all!

But to quote Yujo, a PHC regular: “She’ll be back at one point. The moon always orbits back around.”

Why limes? Only Ylimegirl knows. Speaking of which, be sure to check out her post about the #PoptropicaArt contest winners and Halloween on Poptropica! :ylimepoker~1:

See kids, this is the kind of fun you can have when you join us on the PHC. It’s a fun chat hangout for all Poptropicans, and you’ll get to interact with lots of awesome people in this community, including the occasional Creator! Join us on the PHC Discord!

With apologies to your eyeballs, perhaps it’s fitting that we conclude with one last Skinny Moon meme (thanks for the gif, DJ-Rosietta and Yujo!):

If that doesn’t convince you to join the PHC, we don’t know what will.

In other news, the month of Halloween October is now in full swing, so Poptropica’s begun to celebrate! The Halloween photo booth is back, along with another Photo Booth contest starting next week. Skinny Moon has also gotten into the spoopy spooky spirit, and she’s not the only one – have you seen our Poptropicans lately? 😉

Welcome back Halloween Photo Booth!
She’s going to have to lay off the garlic.

In other spooky news, there appear to be some strange glitches on Home Island affecting hair color and fashion choices. No, oh wait – apparently DJ Saturday Nite and New You lady went to the hair salon together, and even Amelia’s appearance is deliberate. My bad.

Looks like DJ Saturday Nite found the hair bleach.
Well, that certainly is a “New You”.
Amelia’s aesthetic is apparently mixing period clothing.

In addition to the aesthetic changes, some characters, specifically Amelia Earhart and the wheel-spinny-guy-dude, also have some new dialogue! Seems the creators favor the term “loot” over “prizes” now, and Amelia’s plugging the new Fall Fashion lineup. (Thanks to Happy Lobster for the images!)

Finally, the spooky Halloween-themed items of the Poptropica Store have been moved to the front of the card lineups for easy access! Check ’em out and deck out!

Whoof, this was a long update. Thanks for sticking with me!

Monster Carnival Island, Mythology Island

Of Gods and Monsters – October’s Islands of the Month

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and welcome to the ever so spooky month of October!

2spoopy4me

Well, in Poptropica nowadays, a new month mean a new duo of Islands of the Month, where people have the opportunity to play an island for extra credits – no matter if it’s your first time playing it or you’re playing it again.

Since it is a new month, that means Mystery of the Map and Virus Hunter Island will no longer be giving extra credits upon completion.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s see which islands the Creators handpicked to be October’s Islands of the Month!

Monster Carnival

Not too surprisingly, Monster Carnival is the first of the two Islands of the Month this month. After all, Halloween is slowly approaching and a spooky island like such would fit right in to this month.

Captain Crawfish has even uploaded a new video walkthrough for the island:

If you’d prefer a written walkthrough, check out the PHB’s Monster Carnival Island Guide here!

Mythology Island

The second island, which may seem like a stranger pick at first, is Mythology Island. It seems like the Creators specifically are picking sound-updated islands (SUIs) to be islands of the month, and out of the remaining SUIs, Mythology is one of the few that also has a classical creepy vibe to it (especially in the Underworld).

Captain Crawfish has made a new video walkthrough for Mythology as well:

If you’d prefer a written walkthrough, check out the PHB’s Mythology Island Guide here!

___

Like with the previous IotMs, the first time you complete either of these Islands of the Month, you will attain 500 credits, and for one more time following that, you will attain 300 credits. Still beats the regular 150 credits from non-IotM islands!

So with this news in mind and guides in hand, go ahead and face off, whether it’d be a carnival full of monsters or the dangerous world of Greek Mythology!

Until next time, BT out!
