Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 10: Tangled in Time, Part 2

Slanted Fish

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

Good day to you all! I am happily presenting you with the TENTH episode in Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! Woah! TEN EPISODES! I’m pretty stoked about that. Thank you everyone for your support! (Read the previous episode here or start from the beginning here.)

This is when things will start to get InTResTiNG. Disclaimer: Since, at the moment, we don’t know a whole ton of Zomberry lore, I’m gonna make some stuff up. Just enjoy! 🙂

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Ten: Tangled in Time, Part Two

The swirling through the light and color was somehow a lot less magical. They passed timeframes, saw glimpses of history, even glimpses of their own past, but it flashed by so fast they could hardly process it. And in— it could have been a moment, a second, several years— they were standing outside the 24 Carrot theater.

At once, Toothpick, who still had terrible memories of this place burned into his mind, jumped back and stumbled several steps backwards before tripping into a gutter at the other side of the street. He sputtered.

Toothpick

Ack! Sorry, I got a little startled!

Birdy helped him up and Pick dusted himself off from all the dry leaves and dirt. 

Clumsy Bird

I wonder if we can talk past us… wait— CAN I PLEASE PRANK THE DIRECTOR AGAIN?

Hawk

No! Come on guys! We have to at least get rid of the blueberry machine!

Birdy smacks her forehead.

Clumsy Bird

Oh! Right! Save the world first, prank later. Gotcha!

Let’s Explain the Poptropica Iceberg! No Comment? 🧊

Gentle Dolphin

Good evening— or good morning depending where you live. Are you ready for Pop news? Let’s go!

Pop player KrishMortyJunior aka Krish made a video called “The Poptropica Iceberg Explained”. The 18-minute video covers each layer of the Poptropica iceberg, which details fun facts, Easter eggs, notable creators, and scrapped content relating to the game. Check it out:

There are so many facts covered in the video that you’re bound to learn something new. And we appreciate the inclusion of the PHB around the 5:44 minute mark — thanks, Krish! 🥰

In other blog-related news, it looks like we can no longer leave comments under posts on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. We find that pretty suspicious, since fans have been calling for the Creators to update their blog, which has been silent since February. Instead of answering fans’ cries, they cut off one avenue of communication.

The Pop Creators’ Blog no longer accepts new comments.

What’s going on behind the scenes? The game still receives small updates, but the Creators don’t talk about anything outside of social media. For example, they recently shared a “Popstorm” tutorial on drawing a planet using artwork from Galactic Hot Dogs. It’s neat but nothing substantial, even with the Gatorade joke in the caption.

Poptropica is definitely in a weird state. At least fans like Krish are able to keep the game alive. If you want to talk to fellow fans, come join us over on our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat (for ages 13+).

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Fanfic: The Adventures of Det. Anna Gram 🕵️‍♀️ Case Four: Escape from a Familiar Lair

Slanted Fish

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

Hey Poptropicans! Before I begin, a quick note: you’ve known me as Silver Sword, but unfortunately, I lost my account, so I’m using another one: Shy Wing. In memory of my old account, I will sign off as “Shy Wing/Silver Sword.” 🦋⚔️ Now let’s dive into the next part of the tale!

(Start from the prologue, or continue from Case Three)

ANNA (whispering): “Shhhh! I don’t want the thief to know I’m here!”

DARK, MYSTERIOUS VOICE: “Too late now! My prisoner has helpfully pointed you out to me. You may have actually come in use for me, Axe!”

TINY AXE: “I…HATE…YOU!”

ANNA: “What do you even want her for?!”

Hey Poptropicans! It’s been quite the quiet month for Poptropica — some eagle-eyed watchers may even have noticed that the silence of the Pop Creators’ Blog has now passed the half-year mark. Yikes.

But hey, the fandom is still kicking! We’ve been enjoying this fan art by Magic Kid capturing the crowd at our Poppies party last month:

Want to relive the fun of the awards show? Check out our Poppies recap for the spectacular video and celebration of fan-picked winners! 🥳

Though Poptropica’s posts are fewer lately, they’ve still thrown out a few memes on social media. Here’s one featuring creepy 3D Dr. Hare from the Zomberry Island-inspired Roblox game, Humans vs Zombies:
