#dr blandston

[limeston-lane]

Detective Anna Gram and/or Dr Blandston! And technically Dr Gramston.

Dr. Gramston is a dentist within Toontown with a not-so-thriving business. Upon finding a cave holding silly and bland crystals, she's off to save her business! But after a long time of exposure to them, she soon began to lose her memories.

Now Anna Gram is a detective residing in Drowsy Dreamland, on the chase for Dr. Blandston. A Toon making the place Bland like cogs! Not knowing who Blandston really is...

Since I made the goofball mayor and also getting an ask about it here's my attempt at making Detective Anna Gram and Dr.Blandston from Goofball Island.

[monster-carnival-island]

Anna Gram/Dr Blandstone?

I got the other ask you sent but I'll do both. Note Anna and Blandston are two different people because this is a swap version of my au.

Anna is the mayor of Goofball! I decided that on Goofball the swap is a role and a who's bland and who's goofy swap. Energetic and loved by basically everyone she is doing her best to run Goofball as best she can. Swap Mayor is her best friend and he's the detective in this au but he's not a villain.

Dr Blandston. That one I honestly haven't done much with other than make a good person who helps the new heroes with Goofballs new villain. He really wishes people would take care of their teeth.

Since Everyone Wants To Pet The Murder Puppy

[lookslikethatsallthetimewehave]

no anti villains in Poptropica 😔

But we must look up the definition of an anti-villain:

So there are actually a few anti-villains in Poptropica.

Cactus von Garlic: His goal is to protect humanity from vampires. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that not all vampires are evil. Some are just trying to live their life, yo.

Octavian: His goal is to create a perfect world by rewriting the timeline. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that messing with the timeline creates more chaos.

Lieutenant Rogers: Her goal is to protect the timeline from being tampered with (like what Octavian tried to do). Unfortunately, she doesn't realize that she doesn't have to kill innocent children to do that.

Anna Gram/Dr. Blandston: Her goal is to knock some sense into the citizens of Goofball Island, because the goofy people don't properly take care of themselves and also cause she's going out of business. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize that she shouldn't forcefully change people's personalities.

Red Baroness/The Baron: Um, this:

[pawptropica]

What do you think Anna Gram/Dr Blandstone would be?

Anna Gram is a melanistic Bengal!

Dr. Blandston is a British Shorthair!

Sorry I didn't get immediately back to you, Tumblr's being Tumblr.

ANYWAY credits to @lookslikethatsallthetimewehave for a majority of these findings

Apollo was originally meant to play a bigger role in Poptropica, what this was we do not know. He is the god of many things, but mainly the sun which apparently has something to do with powering crystals

This is the Protector's symbol, shaped like the sun. They protect the multiverse from collapsing, mainly through the Nexus, which is a giant crystal cavern that connects timelines. The Protectors base is also powered by Aegis, a giant crystal. I will admit this is from the books and is not canon to the game but I still like to point it out because of how big crystals are in the games. The Mole People in Crisis Caverns collect magic crystals, including a yellow one that powers multiple puzzles. There's also a lot of crystals on Astro Knights, such as this yellow crystal

Also in Astro-Knights there are dark blue crystals that match the Nexus's crystals, but much darker and twisted

The portal to Binary Bard, as well as the key. This is what the Nexus looks like for example

There's another example of magic crystals being important

Goofball island, the stones keep the island and its inhabitants in check and mess wit emotions and the mind. And these are potent crystals, enough to completely change personalities and mindsets (just look at Dr. Blandston, who was inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)

So these crystals are powerful and somehow Apollo's in this shit. We just don't know anything.

This is legitimately wild what the shit

Also here's some peeps petting Dr. Blandston (werewolf Anna)

Everyone wants to pet the murder puppy

Reasonable response, I would too tbh

[mystic-sunni]

Is it okay if I can ask for a Dr Blandstone/Anna Gram headcanon? I don't care what kind, I just want her.

Sure thing!

Despite being a bland person Anna Gram actually enjoys visiting the Goofball side a lot more than the other Bland people.

Dr.Blandston even before he discovered the crystals that can make somebody bland or goofy had always been a fan of shiny things!

[exist101]

I really loved Dr Blandstone as a villain. My only complaints are that it could have been longer and used more items, and just overall played more like a poptropica island. I loved all of the little details and bits you could find, and how the twist does make sense. If you're the kind of freak who clicks on everything and reads every bit of dialogue (like me) it's heavily foreshadowed who Anna Gram really is, and yet it almost seems to come out of nowhere!

i want to talk about poptropica

[exist101]

I feel like Anna Gram doesn't get enough notice in the poptropica fandom. Especially with all sorts of ties for art and fics, such as her past jobs all starting with the letter 'D'. Or maybe something about her life after the events of the island and coping with what happened. Maybe even her and Katie being the meme "Me and the bad bitch I pulled being autistic" I'm just sad that Goofball Island was merely okay instead of great.

Yes yes yes yes

I like the concept of Goofball Island and I’m going to talk about it and give my own ideas. Kind of an AU? It’s just my version of the island. (Obvious spoilers mixed with headcanons):

Having the crystals, when blasted at someone, temporarily make them bland or goofy is a fun idea, and some actually wanting to be blandified or become goofy is interesting. And the side effects? Personality change during the whole thing, memory loss on both sides, etc. Since it’s unclear if Dr. Gramston blasted her own arm to make it goofy or not, I’m going to say she didn’t and add randomly switching from bland to goofy and vice versa with overexposure to the crystals onto the side effects list. So yeah, side effects have a lot of potential creativity.

There could also be a constant identity crisis and paranoia for the people of the island about what the other version of them have done while they blacked out (leading to severe insomnia cases and worsening the problems) could have made for some interesting conflict, especially for the pc where people can say that they swear they recognize the pc (from the fact that we could recognize the mayor despite being blandified and, of course, bosko), the pc obviously has no idea what they’re talking about, leading to the islanders second guessing their own clear memory further, apologizing and saying that they need sleep, and perhaps a small joke of pc being worried of meeting someone else that looks like them but is evil since pelican rock is mentioned in this island. Not sure about that or exactly how that would come into play.

Speaking of which, instead of having the pc ‘just’ arrive and not knowing what’s happening at all while their blimp is clearly destroyed (again) and the pc just… not commenting on that, it would start by the pc waking up feeling sore/ having a headache either on the street or sidewalk and then wondering what’s going on before the flashback of their blimp being blasted by something (the bland ray) and it doing something weird to their blimp as it begins to crash and they ‘pass out.’ Not sure about keeping the twist, but if it is revealed the pc was the villain for a minute, there has to be hints that this is not the first time they were on this island, hence why I want people recognizing them or the pc somehow knowing where to go despite not receiving any directions. Things like that, where you have the idea pc was blandified, but not entirely sure what their bland role was.

Tree man can stay as he is because I think it’s funny if he stayed exactly where he was as the bland pc was blasting city hall, having little, if any, reaction to it and just studying them, only for them to come in later with no memory of any of it and helping with an investigation and he takes the opportunity to fuck with them (hence his ominous message of questioning if the you that you can’t remember is the real you or not). So yeah, he would be one of the few people that truly knows anything going on.

I could think on it more and make it more coherent, but this is just me having the idea and needing to write it down before I forget.

[lookslikethatsallthetimewehave]

Imagine a universe where all of the villains won. Or even just one villain. Maybe one of the megalomaniacal world domination ones.

Like...

You mean to tell me that there is canonical a world, several worlds, an infinite amount of worlds where Dr. Hare, or Zeus, or Dr. Blandston, or Ringmaster Raven, or Myron Van Buren, or Scheherazade, or etc etc etc won...

and no one is talking about it XD

[lookslikethatsallthetimewehave]

But why must you insist that Dr. Lange is secretly evil 😭

What? Am I not allowed to have fun XD

Ok... this is it. This is the last time you're gonna see me have fun. No more theorizing, no more analyzing. I'll have my Popsona go see Dr. Blandston, and that'll be the end of that.

Nah, just kidding. I like to play around and overanalyze every character detail because my brain is spinning a mile a minute, I'm Speeding Spike.

Anna Gram Angst Headcanon Time!

The three (3) endings to the island directly affect Anna Gram. In the everything bland ending, she's stuck bland forever. In the everything goofy ending, she's stuck goofy forever. But in the halfway ending, she is stuck the way she was before, with a twist. Think TGS Jekyll and Hyde, where they share a mind and talk to each other and argue about who gets the body for the night, and how they're no longer two halves they're two wholes in one body. Their full name is Annabelle Gramstone, the bland side Anna Gram and the goofy side Bella Stone (previously Dr. Blandstone). Both sides can never really get along or be their normal self again. Neither know much about who they were when they were just one individual, and Anna likes to interview people who they used to know. Bella doesn't really care about those people though and would rather start getting to know new people instead of clinging to the past.
