RANSOM for @tiktaaliker
[ID: a digital drawing of a dragon-like creature made out of error windows. its body is entirely made of duplicates of the same window; its head is a more stylized drawing of one, that is split open to make a mouth with a mouse pointer as a tongue, the red x-buttons as eyes, and mouse cursors for ears; its forelegs are a horse leg and a tiger leg coming out of MS paint windows; and its tail tip is another mouse cursor. it has no hind legs. it is curled around almost making a figure-eight with its body, and it is smiling. the background is the windows bliss background. more error boxes blink in and out of the corners of the image. /end ID]
alt versions under cut! (FLASH WARNING for a glitter version)
[ID: the same image as above, with small differences. the first is a still image with no extra error windows and a more saturated background, and the second has faster flashing windows and the sky is replaced with a flashing cyan glitter texture. /end ID]

In your opinion, what's the darkest thing in Poptropica?
Oh... wow. You know, some people might be surprised at some of the dark stuff that's happened/implied throughout the franchise. And from such an innocent looking world too :)
I guess I'll make a list of some stuff that stands out to me:
24 Carrot Island
The 4 children were kidnapped and brainwashed by Dr. Hare probably for months.
Astro-Knights Island
Mordred almost died in a crash, and had to replace half of his body with robotics.
Mordred kidnapped the princess because he wanted to marry her. And her parents most likely thought they were never going to see her again, since they had no way of going after her.
Counterfeit Island
It's implied that Black Widow was gonna torture the player in order to get answers.
Reality TV Island/Wild Safari Island
Villains allowed to be on reality tv… and being treated as celebrities... WHAT.
Skullduggery Island
Captain Crawfish probably killed a lot of people. Cause… pirate.
Steamworks Island
The entire backstory of this island: the people were doing experiments on plants, when the plants mutated and tried to kill them. The only way they could survive is by freezing themselves.
Captain Ziggs sacrificed himself to hold off the Plant Monsters. Mayor Crumb must be feeling pretty depressed now that she's free and forced to live without him.
Red Dragon Island
The Shogun being a pretty terrifying tyrant.
Shrink Ray Island
POV: you're an elementary school student and your teacher's star pupil. You trust him, because he's a nice teacher. And then he goes crazy and kidnaps you.
Mr. Silva threatens to shrink CJ and the player to the point where they can't be seen by anyone, which is kinda dark honestly.
Blimp Adventure
Dr. Cumulo Nimbus sets fire to the rain to all the islands.
Game Show Island
Robots take over and enslave humanity.
Ghost Story Island
A really depressing murder mystery/ weird love triangle story that involves several character's deaths.
S.O.S Island
The ship sinks and everyone inside almost dies. Also a child.
Vampire's Curse Island
Count Bram outlives his wife, and goes crazy. And he kidnaps a child due to insanity.
Cactus von Garlic has killed many vampires. But not all vampires in Poptropica are evil (if Haunted House is any indication).
Twisted Thicket Island
The forest creatures turning into stone. I'm not 100% sure if they're still alive in there or not...
Poptropolis Games Island
The island sinks back into the ocean, with people still on it. Some of the ancient islanders are waterlogged (but still alive, for some reason).
Lunar Colony Island (Book)
The PASE workers are oddly sociopathic to Glen John's situation, only caring about Glen helping them. Glen is 13 btw.
Super Villain Island
Zeus almost winning. He blew up the world for no reason. Also, there's something really scary about the way he blew up his own island.
Zomberry Island
Zombie apocalypse.
Virus Hunter Island
A pandemic almost happened.
Monster Carnival Island
Ringmaster Raven's backstory: Pretty messed up.
Edgar is an orphan who ran away and joined the carnival. He put a lot of trust in the Ringmaster and seemed pretty happy… and then the Ringmaster hypnotizes him and uses him for his scheme. Pretty messed up.
Survival Island
Myron Van Buren. Enough said.
Mission Atlantis Island
The alien was trapped underwater for years and died.
PoptropiCon Island
Omegon taking over the convention center, and turning the people into Hench-Bots.
Arabian Nights Island
Scheherazade attempted to steal the player's soul… what the heck.
Graphic Novels
The kids almost died… several times. (A Saber tooth tiger and polar bear almost maul them, they almost fall to their deaths, they almost freeze to death, they are almost stabbed to death by Lieutenant Rogers, they almost got erased from history on the Ancient Egypt Island, they almost burned alive in a volcano eruption, etc)
The ancient Egyptians are erased from one timeline, and a bunch of people on earth died... and it's unknown if they were brought back, or what.
When Spencer Albright is murdered, Jonas is so overcome with grief that he completely loses it and becomes murderous like Octavian. Jonas is 18-20 btw.
The backstories for the main characters (Octavian is forced to let Paulla die, Mya's mom abruptly dies and she goes through depression, Oliver’s dad walks out on the family).
Octavian's fate at the end is this: he accidentally jumped through the portal before the universe he wanted to go to fully formed. Because of this, he jumped into the in-between point of universes, and was split into an infinite amount of versions of himself. Sounds complicated, but is incredibly messed up.
Mya was seriously considering leaving her own timeline, even though she would be leaving her family and friends behind. Whether or not she knew this is unknown, but if she did... kinda messed up.
And… that's it. No more dark things that stick out to me after that. Probably because after this, they fired the writer who was responsible for most of the dark undertones in the franchise. OOPS!!! >:(
I think the darkest stuff comes from Monster Carnival, Survival, and the graphic novels.
