Epic Foolish Flirting with Zeus 📺🔱

Gentle Dolphin

Hey, Poptropicans! Are you ready for some shenanigans?

For the holiday of jokes and fun, enjoy this video I posted of an epic battle between myself and Zeus, set to the song “Six Hundred Strike” from Epic: The Musical. Check it out! 🌩️🔱

And that’s not all! We hope you all enjoyed our riveting interview yesterday with Pop Creator John Jameson, aka Bucky Lucas. But as we confessed in that very post: There is no John Jameson, there is no Princess Elyana movie career, and there is no flirting between El Mustachio Grande and Zeus! Sorry to disappoint.

APRIL FOOLS!!!

We didn’t try to hide our foolish intentions this year, but even still, some people fell for the words from our fictional horse’s mouth. The idea of a El Mustachio Grande x Zeus ship in Super Villain Island was so out there that some of you from the PHC community thought that it had to be real. We hope it gave you a good laugh! 😜

Between the fake interview and silly video, we hope you enjoyed this year’s April Fools offerings! We now return to (slightly more serious) business as usual. Stay tuned for Poptropica news, fan work showcases, and much more!

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Amelia says April Fools 💋

Slanted Fish

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 — 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 unic—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! 😘

💙🤍❤️

April Fools! A date of sim-ple fun 💖

Slanted Fish

So Poptropicans, how did your dates go with the venerated villains? Now that the night’s over, we’re coming clean to say… April Fools!

The Poptropica Dating Sim Fan Blog is getting a goodnight kiss, and the PHB’s back, baby. Did you miss us? 😘

The PHB became the Poptropica Dating Sim Fan Blog on April Fools’ Day.

Some of you caught on to our shenanigans yesterday, but others of you just could not believe it! 🤣 Check out some of our favorite reactions from the community on the PHB post and on our PHC Discord server:

Now that the jig is up, we figure we’ll share a bit about how this all came to be! Of course, the PHB loves pulling its share of April Fools’ pranks, and this year was no exception.

Inspired by the fan-made Poptropica Dating Sim created several months ago by Jia/Magniventris, the PHB’s MaryannTheConqueror dreamed up the idea of turning the PHB into one giant ad for this beloved spin-off game, keeping it a surprise from Jia. She also created the header image, which features the dating sim characters in anime style!

Adding to all the fun, Lucky Joker then created a “Which villain would you date?” quiz to help match players with a villain to date in the simulation. By the way, you can still take the quiz!

While the Poptropica Dating Sim Fan Blog was just a fantasy, the Poptropica Dating Sim itself is most certainly real and still getting updates! This unofficial Poptropica visual novel takes you on daring dates with iconic Poptropicans Binary Bard, Octavian, and Ringmaster Raven, and we are in love. 😍 Play it now on CloudNovel!

Kirk Strayer in 3-D!

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Now should I start with the joking or non-joking part? I’ll start with the (possibly joking) part.

Captain Crawfish has announced Poptropica 3D HD. Or is it HD 3D? Whatever.

And 3D images from Skullduggery Island are there.

And low-priced $999.95 3D glasses. (Shipping and handling not included; available 1/01/14)

And suppossedly Jeff Kinney “approves” in a fake-looking quote.

Now, before you break your piggy banks, I’m pleased to remind you of today’s date: April 1st. There. Put the hammers down. Good. Besides, I have a pair of 3-D glasses stashed in a DVD that works with that image and for only $20 something dollars.

But like the nose thing last year, I don’t think this is really happening. I think this is the Creators way of mocking technology with its HD and 3D yakkity yak these days. XD

Now, not everything is a joke today. I actually found a promotion for Back Lot Island in the weirdest spot.

So I was wandering around on Night Watch Island when I encountered an ad.

No. It wasn’t an ordinary ad, though.

So… this is new. The Creators using the advertising spot to take a picture with Back Lot Island’s Kirk Strayer: well-known actor since 2 weeks ago. If you talk to him, he’ll say:

So you enter…

Those seem like epic images. And you click take photo… and a new photo is added to your album!

Now, I think there are a bunch of possibilities for your picture. Here they are:

…

…

Well…

…on second thought, I think this is the only result you get. I laughed at this, considering the epic preview images in the first screen when you first enter XD.

Oh well. At least we finally know who Kirk Strayer is. But what will go on with him in Back Lot Island? Only time will tell.

BT out!
