Fanfic: Itโ€™s the Seriously Good Show ๐ŸŽช Ep. 1: Gold Bird, fashion store owner

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!

Hello! Serious Heart here, with the first episode of Itโ€™s the Seriously Good Show! If you didnโ€™t read the prologue, I think you should probably go back and read it here. Now, letโ€™s begin!

Fireside Chat: Pull up a chair.

Serious Heart walked into the room. โ€œHowdy, people of Mythology Island! Welcome to the first episode of Itโ€™s the Seriously Good Show, the chat show where I interview famous and/or smart people! The first person I interview isโ€ฆโ€

The audience waited in suspense.

โ€œGold Bird, owner of the fashion store!โ€ Serious Heart said. The audience clapped politely as Gold Bird walked in.

โ€œWelcome, Gold Bird!โ€ Serious Heart said.

โ€œThanks, Serious Heart!โ€ Gold Bird said, beaming.

โ€œWell, Gold Bird, how did you become the owner of a world-famous fashion store?โ€ Serious Heart asked.

โ€œWell, I got the job because, I applied, and since no one else wanted the job, I had it! Isnโ€™t it funny, Serious Heart?โ€ Gold Bird exclaimed.

The audience stared at her. Serious Heart looked a little shocked.

โ€œHahahahahahahaha very funny.โ€ Serious Heart said. He did not look like that was funny at all.

โ€œSo, anyway, here is my new outfit! I got it at the Poptropica Department Store!โ€

โ€œWow, thatโ€™sโ€”” Serious Heart tried to say before Gold Bird cut him off.

โ€œSo, my BFF said, โ€˜Gold, you have to buy that outfit! Itโ€™s awesome!โ€™โ€ Gold Bird said.

Some of the audience left. Finally, Gold Bird stopped, due to exhaustion from talking so much. Serious Heart seized his chance to talk.

โ€œWhat are your favorite clothes?โ€ Serious Heart asked.

Gold Bird looked delighted.

โ€œMy silver dress! It costedโ€ฆ 1,291,836 credits!โ€ Gold Bird bragged.

Serious Heart looked pleased that he has finally gotten a chance to ask a question.

And Gold Bird rambled on and on and on, like that, for the rest of the interview, until Serious Heart cut her off before it got too boring.

โ€œWell, thatโ€™s it for today! Tune in next time, Poptropicans!โ€ Serious Heart said.

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! ๐ŸงŸ Ep. 8: The Lab Thingy

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

Greetings! Okay, so last time I kinda maybe went off on a tangent about cake (or start from the very beginning here) and this week Iโ€™ll kind of reel my sweet tooth in a notch or twoโ€ฆ or eight because we are on episode eight of “Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!!”

Previously, the crew jumped off the blimp in the middle of an insane storm, and now they are on Time Tangled Island! Yay? I use that question mark because of whatโ€™s going on there. Oh, no no no, Iโ€™m not gonna tell you now, you have to read on to find out.

Over and Out!

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Eight: The Lab Thingy

Toothpick is too happy to be on the ground again, and to be safe, that it takes him a moment to realize what is different about Time Tangled.

He coughs a mouthful of ash out and then looks around.

Toothpick

Hawk? Birdy? Are you guys okay?

Birdy is on top of a pile of rubble trying to untangle herself from the parachute, and Hawk walks out from behind a smashed car.

Birdy

Yep.

Hawk

Yeah.

Icy Stone comes around from a large pile of rubble, covered in white ash, like a ghost.

Icy Stone

Oh, Iโ€™m fine, thanks for asking.

And then Toothpick realizes that the rubble and ashes were not a part of Time Tangled. The last time he had been to Time Tangled, it was bright, colorful, and in perfect condition. But nowโ€ฆ the Party Time Tower was reduced to clumps of concrete, and half-burnt postersโ€ฆ

Greetings with Goofball & Grimace ๐Ÿ’„๐ŸŒš

Hey Poptropicans, it’s time to pop on the trends!

Because we can’t escape the Barbenheimer craze this week with both Barbie and Oppenheimer now in theaters, Poptropica has jumped on the bandwagon with a Pop twist: comparing how the two films’ vibes are like the stark contrast between Dullsville and Goofside on Goofball Island.

A few weeks earlier, Poptropica was hot on another trend and its similarity to a Pop adventure: the Grimace Shake foreshadowed by the classic Zomberry Island! Like the bad blueberries causing a zombie outbreak in the game, the purple McDonald’s milkshake was known to “infect” its consumers, who pretended to fall sick for kicks on TikTok.

Check out this (Pop)-twisted take of the Grimace Shake meme from the PHB’s Gentle Dolphin! Stay safe out there, folks.

Speaking of fan art, shout-out to Clover @clomellu for sharing these cool clay creations of Hades from Mythology Island and Dr. Hare:

By the way, we’re just a few days away from announcing the winners of the 2023 Poppies with a video drop and party! Catch us on the PHC and the Poptropica Arcade on Friday, July 28 at 7pm EST โ€” details in our party invite here. Hope to see many of you there! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅ‚

Cabin Fever with TMNT Turtle Mayhem ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ’ฅ

Hey everyone! Shortly after Survival Island, Ep. 3 finally re-released for all last week, here comes Ep. 4: Cabin Fever โ€” for members only.

Who knows when it will release for everyone, but at least itโ€™s good to know the Pop Creators are still active. Be sure to check out our Survival Island Guide if you get stuck!


๐ŸŽต Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a Half-Shell โ€” Turtle Power! ๐ŸŽต

Itโ€™s time to hang out with the Turtles on their new home base on the map or through the billboard on Home Island, promoting the new TMNT Turtle Mayhem movie. Talk to Raphael and youโ€™ll be taken to New York City! There, heโ€™ll give you all the TMNTsโ€™ masks along with Katanas (sadly, none of the other turtle weapons).

Go down to the sewers, talk to Mikey, and he will challenge you to a race in the skate park. Beat him to get his Nunchuks!

Next, go up and talk to Donatello. He tells you to go inside the Pizza place. There, he challenges you to a pizza mini-game. Beat him to win a Pizza Van.

Thatโ€™s a wrap! What did you think about the new ad and episode?

By the way, donโ€™t forget to submit your vote for the Poppies! See you later, Poptropicans.
