The Poptropican Elements of Harmony ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒˆ

Hello, everypony! We hope you’re loving the Ponytropica Blog so far! This rebrand finally gave me the opportunity to ask this burning question: which six Poptropica characters would represent the Elements of Harmony? Without further ado, let’s begin!

The Element of Honesty represents more than telling the truth. A truly honest person is open about their intentions, stays true to their values, and accepts harsh realities. Which Poptropica character best fits this description?

Oliver Hartman, specifically the version of him from the graphic novels, fits this idea. He’s openly passionate about his interests and lets everyone know what’s on his mind. He sympathized with the Protectors’ mission to preserve the timeline, even if that meant tragedies would have to occur. And in the last book, he decided not to change the past when given the opportunity. He’s an honest kid who accepts life the way that it is.๐ŸŽ

The Element of Kindness extends beyond being polite. Those aligned with this Element are highly empathetic and go out of their way to help others in need. Who in Poptropica is the kindest of them all?

Basho abandoned his samurai training and embraced a life of peace. While many would assume a ninja master to teach only stealth and combat, Basho encourages his students to help others because it’s the right thing to do. Even after his tyrannical brother summoned the destructive Red Dragon, Basho forgave him and offered to help rebuild Edo. Basho’s great compassion proves that he’s worthy of the Element of Kindness. ๐Ÿฆ‹

The Element of Laughter is all about spreading happiness. Those who represent this Element always look on the bright side and help others do the same. Which Poptropican can lighten the mood like no other?

Like Pinkie Pie, DJ Saturday Nite loves a good party. She kept her cool in the midst of a Zomberry outbreak and continued to play funky tunes until she was rescued. When she’s not surrounded by zombies, she can be spotted on Home Island inviting players to have fun in common rooms. Need more proof? She’s labeled as an optimist in the Zomberry Island pitch bible. Easy choice for the Element of Laughter!๐ŸŽˆ

The Element of Generosity is easy to pretty understand. People aligned with this Element aren’t tied down by their possessions and make great sacrifices to help others. Which Poptropican regularly gives the most?

When his funds began to run low, Harold Mews promised to give the last of his wealth to whoever can prove the existence of cryptids. He rescued the player after they were sabotaged, provided resources for their adventure, and gave them his money as promised. If he hadn’t already promised to give away his money, Mews would have used it to build a sanctuary for Bigfoot. Mews devoted his time and money into researching and helping cryptids, so he’s my pick to represent the Element of Generosity. ๐Ÿ’Ž

The Element of Loyalty represents devotion. Loyal people will stay by your side through thick and thin, and the most loyal of all are willing to put themselves in danger to save their loved ones. Which character is the most loyal?

All three knights of Arturus are deeply committed to protecting their kingdom, so much so that they travelled to distant planets to save Princess Elyana. If I have to pick one, it would be Sir Pelasus. In the Astro Knights book, he was the first to jump into action when Mordred invaded the kingdom. It was a close call, but Sir Pelasus won the honor of representing the Element of Loyalty. ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

The Element of Magic is tricky to assign because its title is so vague. According to the MLP tabletop game, Tails of Equestria, those “aligned to this Element are sensitive to the most powerful of all Elementsโ€” the Magic of Friendship.” So, Friendship is Magic. Which Poptropica character values friendship the most?

I know this sounds like a reach, but hear me out. Amelia cares for her fellow adventurers, showing them the ropes and forming strong bonds along the way. Yes, she and the Red Baron had a falling out, but that doesn’t stop Amelia from trying to reconnect and being worried about her safety. Also, Amelia loves unicorns, so she’s basically a My Little Pony fan. Amelia may tell to not trust magic dudes, but you can trust her with the Element of Magic. โœจ


And those are my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony! Do you agree with my picks, or do you think some other characters are more worthy of representing these Elements? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and have a pony-tastic day!

Poptropica Fan Comic: The Bucky Stops Here ๐Ÿš๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Hey Poptropicans! Remember Bucky Lucas, the washed-up contest winner on Reality TV Island? Poptropica fan artist Cherry (cacaocheri) recently made a comic imagining his life after coming home from losing the game show, and with their blessing, we’d love to share it with you!

(Content warning: Contains references to alcohol.) Enjoy the comic below:


Aww, you’ll be okay, Bucky! ๐Ÿฅน Speaking of comics, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve updated our Poptropica comic strip collection with better quality visuals, courtesy of HPuterpop. Enjoy all the adventures with Oliver and Jorge from our Comics page! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Catch up with Poptropica’s comic strip ๐Ÿ“ฐ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Hey Poptropicansโ€”did you know that Poptropica has its own comic strip? It’s true, and now, you can catch up with most of the series here!

In these comics, two young heroes, Oliver and Jorge, get thrown into the foreign world of Poptropica and have to survive as they hop from island to island full of silly and unpredictable challenges. You might recognize these boys from the Poptropica graphic novel series, which actually came out after the comic strips did. Both were illustrated by Kory Merritt, and the comics were written by Paul Gilligan.

Poptropica’s comic strips ran daily for a period of time from 2014โ€“2016 and were available on various online platforms. These days, though, they’re harder to find. Fortunately, one super-fan recently put together all the comics so the rest of us can enjoy them without much digging.

Thanks to weeks of searching and piecing by Invisible Ring, the Poptropica comics are now available on Google Slides, with Part 1/2 starting from the beginning (as the above strips show) and Part 2/2 picking up from where the first part left off. There are over 300 strips in total, so settle in for a nice leisurely read! โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฐ

The adventures entail monkey people, vegetable Frankenstein monsters, a Wizard of Oz world, and moreโ€”funnily enough, none of the places they visit are actually from the game, but as these are official comics, they can still be considered canon!

Believe it or not, Invisible Ring mentions there have been more strips published, though they have yet to be found. These missing strips explore islands featuring themes of black and white, Atlantis (though not in the style of Mission Atlantis Island), and even a library.

Anyway, enjoy the comics from the links above, or find them again anytime on our Comics page under Pop Plus from our site menu. Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the PHB! ๐ŸŽ„

Just in time for the holidays! (picture credit: Poptropica, 2014)
