magic kid – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

*cue overly dramatic entrance*

*extinguishes fire*

Hiya Poptropicans, it’s Magic Kid!

Guess what? Recently I received an email from Lucky Joker asking if I’d like to become an official writer for the Poptropica Help Blog!

Guys, I’m going to be honest with y’all: I legit thought that the Halloween candy was making me hallucinate. 🤣

After re-reading the email multiple times, exploding with unbridled joy, zooming to my bedroom, and screaming like a fangirl into my pillow (like the totally nonchalant person I am 😉), I wrote back to LJ. And now, here we are! 🙂

I’ve been playing Poptropica for about 7-ish years. You can read my MPIP story to hear how I discovered Poptropica and then also when I realized a few years later that the fandom exists. My journey has definitely extended from that post but it might be fun to read ✨The Origin of Magic Kid in The Poptropica World✨ anyway.

My favorite island is Monster Carnival (how dare you suggest otherwise? 😝) but I also really like PoptropiCon, Survival, and Zomberry Island. Honestly though, I love pretty much all the islands I’ve played. My favorite character is most definitely Edgar because how could you NOT adore that little fried dough loving, friendly carnie–in–training? My favorite villain by far is (you guessed it!) Ringmaster Raven.

So some more things about me are: I really enjoy drawing and writing (check out my Poptropica fanfictions: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! and Murder at Myron’s). I also like animated movies, bright colors, anything with high amounts of sugar, music, theater, and daydreaming in the woods.

If you’d like to friend me, my Poptropica username is BravestChicken and I’m always up for a game of Sky Dive. 😉

Thank you so much for reading, I am VERY happy to be here and I am SUPER excited to write some fun posts for y’all!

Over n’ Out!

🎨 Pop Fan Artist Spotlight: Magic Kid

November 6, 2024November 7, 2024 LJ

Howdy doodly, Poptropicanos and welcome to the latest installment of Pop Fan Artist Spotlight! This edition highlights an artist who’s become one of my recent favorites due to her exceptionally vivid and captivating artwork: the extraordinary *pause for dramatic effect* Magic Kid (who recently won 1st prize in our Halloween costume contest)!

I really admire her enthusiastic commitment to creating Poptropica artwork, which has resulted in over one hundred deviations in her gallery to date. A swift glance through her collection will surely captivate anyone. Her signature aesthetic is characterized by its lively, bright, and almost glowy appearance. ✨ You can easily feel the passion and joy she invests in each creation, showcasing her true creative spirit. Take a look at this gallery of some of her proudest works:

So pretty, right? 😍 I had a chat with Magic Kid and asked her a few questions about her art, and here’s what she shared with me:

How has your style changed over time?

I’ve had quite a bit of improvement over the years. I’ve become faster at making art, more comfortable with random colors that don’t make much sense, somewhat better at poses, and overall, just become a better artist in ways that are kinda hard to explain. Despite that, drawing hands is still a problem for me. XD

Where do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?

I’m not sure where I see my art in five years. Maybe I’ll have a consistent art style by then? Perhaps I’ll learn how to render or draw more realistically? We’ll have to see, I guess…

Thanks for chatting, Magic Kid. Now there’s definitely more art from her to be discovered! Should you wish to explore her work beyond Poptropica, you can find more than 500 pieces on her DeviantArt page—MagicKidIsArtsy. (Even the page presentation itself looks cool since she’s got core membership. 😎)

And now our spotlight has officially concluded! Thanks for stopping by. Interested in being the next Pop Fan Artist Spotlight? Reach out to me on Discord (search the.lucky.joker on the PHC) or send us an email. Here’s to celebrating even more Poptropica artists!

Fanfic: Murder at Myron’s 🦉 Part 4/4

October 31, 2024November 1, 2024 LJ

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

Alright Poptropicans! Magic Kid is back again with the final part of the fanfiction, Murder at Myron’s. (Read parts 1, 2, & 3 first! 🙂)

The villains are pointing fingers, investigating, and analyzing everything and everyone in order to figure out who murdered Myron Van Buren. It’s extremely difficult, however, to figure out. All the shifty suspects are 100% capable and dangerous, but all claim innocence.

They had just discovered a secret tunnel and some more interesting variables when another well-known— yet uninvited— villain turned up. More contention will break out as they blame the newly arrived Dr. Hare for the murder. But what happens to him, to our Narrator Merlin, and to every villain at that dinner-gone-wrong?

You’ll have to read this shocking conclusion to the series in order to find out for yourself what happens in the end…

Murder at Myron’s

Part 4/4

All the Villains except Dr. Hare were shock-quiet as Dr. Hare, pink bunny suit and all, stepped inside in the warm house and shivered in the sudden temperature change. And then more chaos, more arguing, and just more contention in general broke out for probably the millionth time that evening.

Captain Crawfish pinned Dr. Hare against the Lincoln Log style walls of the cabin and shouted at him. “WHY DID YOU KILL MYRON? AND TO HAVE THE NERVE TO COME BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME LIKE AND INNOCENT LITTLE SHRIMP? HOW DARE YOU, RABBIT!”

Everyone else was ganging up on Dr. Hare and joining in on the shouting now.
“I see how it is! You got mad you weren’t invited and decided to get a little bit of revenge, right? Daphne poked at him.

“N—no! I got an—”

I was accidentally pushed roughly against the wall by the villains gathering and this kind of behavior continued.

“Who are you working with?” demanded Mademoiselle Moreau, who had been the one to discover that breakthrough of the window having to have been unlocked from the inside.

“Why would you DO this?” asked Ringmaster Raven angrily.

“M—Myron’s d—dead?” Dr. Hare asked, barely managing to talk because of Crawfish’s grip on his throat.

“AYE, YOU MUCK OF SLIME—”

“What should we do with him?” Director D asked in cold rage.

Gretchen replied in equal anger “I don’t know! I think we should just let Crawfish have him at the moment!”

“No! Wait— I didn’t—”

“Why else would you come here uninvited?!” Mordred shouted.
