Hey Poptropicans, have a look at the latest looks!
It must be Poptropica Fashion Week, as guest writer Pink Crush returns to the Pop Creators’ Blog with a second part to her Poptropashion fashion forward series. In case you missed it, check out part one here!

We’re so awed by this self-proclaimed Poptropica fashion advisor’s collection we’re even featuring it in our Pop Look Book. ✨
As Pink Crush shares, the “Royal Princess” costume could be “glam enough for the PHB’s Poppies!” 🏆 Speaking of which, our annual awards show is coming up next month, so stay tuned and get ready to vote!
We also appreciate the shout-out to the PHB at the end, where she notes that we’re “named the official Poptropica Fansite.” It’s true—in some ways! We’re not the only fans Poptropica awarded the Official VIP badge to back in 2017, but we’re one of the few still active in the fandom today.
In other news, here are the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories! Among them, we’ve got to plug our own Stranger Things Pop-over, which we brought back to celebrate the release of season 4. 👻
As the last story shares, there’s something new on Home Island! Watch the video trailer for Lightyear, the upcoming Pixar film about Buzz Lightyear, to earn some free credits. Plus, you might still be able to find the Rainbow High ad game in other spots to snag more prizes. Enjoy! ⚡️
Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy Feather. Enjoy!
Hello everyone, I’m Dizzy Feather. Before we get started, I’ll tell you a little about myself. I am ever loyal to the Pathfinders, but if I had to choose another tribe it would be the Seraphim.
Anyway, my fanfiction has four parts. It stars me as my alter ego, the Pink Knight. Plus, find out how you can be part of it below. Let’s go!
Dizzy Feather (me!)Pink Knight (alter ego)
The scene is black. A sad melody plays. We hear a female voice.
DIZZY FEATHER (VOICEOVER): Once I was a hero.
As she speaks, we see black silhouettes surrounding the Pink Knight in pictures of swordfights and handcuffs.
DIZZY FEATHER (VO): I defeated countless villains, but one day…
Bird’s-eye view of the Pink Knight’s uniform and sword piled in a chest. Fade to black. We hear the chest lid slam, followed by the rattle of a lock.
DIZZY FEATHER (VO): I decided to put it all away after I failed my mission. Poptropica has dozens of adventurers — they’ll manage without one more hero.
A phone rings. We see DIZZY FEATHER walk over to a small wooden table to pick up the phone and place it to her ear.
AMELIA (VO): Dizzy, listen, can you come over to my shop real quick? I mean, above my shop — you know where I live.
DIZZY FEATHER: Uh, sure. Are you OK?
AMELIA (VO): No time to talk, just come over here. Now!
DIZZY FEATHER hangs up and runs out her clubhouse door. AMELIA is calmly sipping tea in her home. DIZZY FEATHER runs into the room, slamming the door behind her.
AMELIA: Oh hi there, would you like some tea?
DIZZY FEATHER: Wait, what? You sounded like you were being robbed over the phone!
AMELIA: Oh yeah, sorry about that. I had to get you to come over here quickly — you know how you like to take your time. Anyway, here you go.
AMELIA hands DIZZY FEATHER an orange ticket. As DIZZY FEATHER takes it, we see that it says: “PoptropiCon — Admit One — VIP Pass.”
DIZZY FEATHER: Uh, are you going to the con? Have fun!
AMELIA: No, you’re going to the Con. You see, after the Omegon incident last year, I bought a VIP ticket for the following year so I could send someone to help in case it happened again. I would go myself, but I got a store to run.
DIZZY FEATHER: You could go, and I could run your store until you’re back.
AMELIA: Sorry, I only trust myself to run my store, and it can’t be closed for an entire week.
DIZZY FEATHER: Fine, I mean Omegon was defeated last year, what could happen?
Jump to DIZZY FEATHER with a bulging pink backpack, walking around the Poptropica convention. Suddenly, a large red spaceship lands in the back, where the catapult was in episode 1). DIZZY FEATHER drops her drink out of surprise.
That’s it for the first part. In the upcoming parts, I would like to include some of you readers! If you want to be part of this story, just pop in a quick outline in the comments with:
who you want you Poptropican to be (villain, hero, anti-villain, etc)
your Poptropican’s name
your Poptropica username (so I can add you to my friends list)
I will choose two players from the comments of this post and then we can meet up in-game!
I’ll wait till you’re in the game, then invite you to my clubhouse.
Get ready for a screenshot! Just follow me around, then stand a little ways away from me, facing me, so I can take the pic.
I will not contact you, so what your Poptropican says and does in my story is completely up to me.
Hope you like the story so far! Feel free to share what you think will happen next. I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Dizzy Feather. If you did, you might also enjoy The Villain Saga, a fanfic series from the PHB’s MaryannTheConqueror.

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for fashion, ads, and art — all at once!
May’s costume contest fan submissions reel is out and ready to be admired! 🎞 Although the Baron hasn’t yet picked a winning costume to bring to virtual life, her airship is expected to land soon, as it often does at the beginning of a month. In the meantime, enjoy the creativity:
Over on Home Island, there’s a new ad building for Rainbow High fashion dolls! Enter and talk to the nearest doll to help out with getting ready for their fashion show by collecting 8 outfits in 3 minutes. With surrounding sparkles, they’re pretty easy to spot all over the venue!
When you start the game, you’ll get to choose which team you’re helping: Rainbow High or Shadow High. After you win, you can play for the other school to get both prizes, the Emi Outfit and Heather Outfit.
There’s more art to admire via Poptropica’s Instagram stories! From the Baron’s next great costume candidate “Boxing Barb” to a minor Monster Carnival character, check out the latest fan art features below. (Tip: Click the artists’ names to visit the original posts!)
To kick off the festivities, Adventure Outfitters has restocked their rainbow gear, featuring lots of the LGBTQ+ Pride-themed costumes and clubhouse items from last year, which will be around all month.
Just restocked June’s Pride collection! 👀 Pop into the store to scoop up this year’s free costumes and clubhouse it… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…— Official Poptropica (@Poptropica) June 01, 2022
In case you missed it, the store has also made more of its pets available to non-members! Plus, the pet wear has been refreshed, bringing back the Mustache, Pink Wig, and Pink Sunglasses (75 credits each). 🥸😻
Also, a new month means more prezzies for members! June’s member gifts are Succulent Seeds (equip to spread succ seeds!), Gardening Hat, and Succulent Follower — all wearables. 🪴
Over on the Pop Creators’ Blog, guest writer Muddy Kid is back with another installment of her Pop fan comic, The Adventures of Ruby!
We can’t miss mentioning the PHB cameo that appears as Ruby’s Flight Academy friend Syd (based on Spotted Dragon) shares a site she’s working on with — well, us 😜 — which has all the guides she needs to be a proper adventurer. Catch up on parts 1, 2, and 3 before diving into part 4!
Also, check out all these fan art features on Pop’s Instagram stories lately! There’s some really special stuff in here, from sidewalk chalk to blimp earrings (that you can buy!). Talented as always! 💙✨
Hello once again everyone! Spotted Dragon here bringing you the May recap for Community Creations. May’s theme was Jade Scarab, so be sure to check out all the featured artists!
If you weren’t prepared to see a bunch of paws-itively purr-fect cat art this month… well this is your first and final warning. With a theme like Jade Scarab, it should be no surprise who the star of this month is! In this design, I love the subtle glow effects and the shine in the cat’s eyes and collar, seemingly hinting at the true secrets that this fearsome feline holds. Find her Tumblr here.
Uhhhh meow? by distorted-graffiti
Coincidentally, I’m currently working on a screencap redraw challenge of my own in my current art class, so this submission just happened to catch my eye! A wonderfully humorous scene from Jade Scarab Island, this redraw successfully captures the mood of the moment. Not to mention how cool it is to see the exact scene from in-game in someone else’s style! Find their Tumblr here.
Cat Keyby TillyMeowJings
What did I say about cats this month, eh? I love this unique take on the “Jade Scarab kitty” and the idea of feline idols in general. Lots of thought was put into this design, and the display of information is quite clear and, well, informative. Very creative! Find their Tumblr here.
Egyptian Excavatorby Magic Poptropican
Here we have a Jade Scarab inspired costume, which I love to see for some variety in the midst of all these illustrations! Jade Scarab is in fact not the only island in which Poptropicans can visit Egypt, nor the only island including some excavation, so I love this sort of mix-and-match of apt accessories. And a very colorful outfit at that! Find the artist in the comment section.
Kitty Goddess by sleepybiker
Lastly, of course, another awesome kitty feature. Who knew Bastet could be so powerful AND so adorable? We only see the goddess for a short moment in her true form, so it’s interesting to think about what she would be like when she’s not sneaking around in her more furry form. I love the humor in this portrayal of some very cat-like behavior. Quite the fursona, I must say. 👀😻 Find their DeviantArt here.
Honorable Mentions

As always, these submissions were paws-itively purr-fect! Oh, I already used those puns, huh? Well anyway, they still apply! Keep up the awesome work!
June: How Do I Participate?
Community Creations is a cool series for anyone in the Poptropica community to join in on. To sum up what it’s about, it’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 month’s theme. So what is June’s theme? June’s theme is…
Since all this news is on our minds, why not relate it to this month’s theme? Despite the controversies, Ringmaster Raven remains a fan-favorite character, after all. So this month, anything carnival related applies! That could mean anything related to Monster Carnival Island for sure, but also extends to anything under the carnival umbrella like clowns, balloons, carousels, and more!
I also wanted to leave it a bit more open ended since this June is Pride Month, and so you could totally incorporate some sort of campy aspects of pride into the world of carnivals if you get creative enough.
Submit: Comment below with a link to whatever you’ve created, email it to the PHB team on our Contact page, OR share it with me (SydVC aka Spotted Dragon) on DeviantArt, Twitter, Tumblr, or Discord.
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 you’d like!
I will be sure to let you know I have seen your creation. While quality counts, I’m mainly looking for something to simply catch my eye, so don’t be afraid to join in!
So what are you waiting for? Go make something awesome!
