Name:
Popcorn is perfect.
Short Personality:
Popcorn is just like a popcorn when you meet him. When you meet him, he seems to pop to life. He is the most lively bean you will meet, and he will surely make you smile. Popcorn loves and enjoys the company of other beans, and does not like to be alone. He loves to have fun and have a lot of energy, but he can also be a true gentleman when needed. You will find that he will always be there for you. Whether it is to cheer you up, or whether you are in need of some help. Popcorn may be wild, but he sees the up most importance in trust, and he will always stay true to his word. Overall he is a great bean to be around.Popcorn wrote:Just watch out for my jokes, they're a little corny!
Favorite season:
Summer!
Why?:
This season is full of fun in the sun. This gives Popcorn the perfect opportunity to have fun with his family. He absolutely loves to go to the beach with his two kids.

➙Well as you know, Popcorn loves to eat popcorn, but he has to prepare before he eats it. Popcorn absolutely hates those kernels that don't pop when you pop a bag of popcorn. When he pops a bag of popcorn he must go through the whole bag and sort out all the un-popped kernels before he eats it. One time when he was at the movies, he found a kernel in his bag of popcorn. He started poring the popcorn onto a napkin and sort through it. He did this until he was sure there was no more kernels but by this time the movie was almost over!
➙Popcorn has a very unique gift. He is ambidextrous. When he was growing up, it was just natural to use both sides of his body. When he writes he will change which hand he uses all the time. He always falls asleep on his right side, but wakes up on his left. He will constantly switch which side the popcorn bowl is on, and what hand he uses to eat.
➙Popcorn is in no way a picky eater. He loves all food (He just likes popcorn a little more), but when he eats he has trouble deciding which food to eat first. To help him decide he uses the rainbow to help. he eats in the order of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. M&Ms are a perfect example, she eats the red, then brown, then orange, then yellow, then green, and blue last. She eats anything this way, like in a bowl of fruit, she would always eat the strawberries first. Now as for white food he just puts that after blue (saving the best for last).
➙Popcorn is always happy, but when someone makes him really happy, or he becomes really excited, he will puffs out his cheeks as much as he can. He looks like he is about to burst! I don't know why he inflates is cheeks like a balloon, but when he does you can always see a smile in his eyes to let you know how happy he is!Popcorn's Phobias wrote:Phobias:
➙Alektorophobia- Fear of chickens.
➙Herpetophobia- Fear of reptiles or creepy, crawly things.
➙Meteorophobia- Fear of meteors
➙Ophthalmophobia- Fear of being stared at.
➙Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat.
What's in a Pouch?:
Every bean keeps something different in their pouch, objects individual to him or her. These are things that bean likes to keep close and hold dearly, so here are a few things Popcorn normally has with him.
➙Marbles- There are so many games you can play with marbles, so to keep himself entertained, Popcorn always makes sure he has some with him!
➙Loose Change- It's always good to have money with you, so whenever Popcorn finds change lying around, he picks it up and saves it for a rainy day in his pouch.
➙A Popcorn Ball- Of course, Popcorn loves popcorn, so instead of having loose pieces floating around and getting squashed in his bag, he keeps a caramel popcorn ball with him at all times to nibble on throughout the day.
➙Lost Puzzle Pieces- When Popcorn finds puzzle pieces around the house, he puts them in his pouch for safekeeping until he finds the puzzle they belong to, even if he never does.
➙A Book- Popcorn enjoys to read, so he normally has a book with him to read when he becomes bored with playing marbles.
How I Met Popcorn:
Excitement built as I inched along, ever-so-slowly getting closer and closer to the front. I had been waiting in line for over an hour for the ride of a lifetime, and was only a few people from the front, there were maybe ten or so people ahead of me. They let in five more and the line lurched, I was so close!
The ride was a roller coaster; I had never ridden a roller coaster before, so I wanted my first to be absolutely fantastic! Before I knew it, the line moved again as five more people entered, leaving me at the front. I bounced with excitement, squeezing my hands in fists to contain my squeals.
A sudden delectable smell reached my nose, a smell completely irresistible to me, and I turned my head to see a concession stand selling the food I hold most dearly; popcorn. I closed my eyes and deeply inhaled, savoring the delicious scent. I leaned against the ropes, trying to get closer; I looked silly, but I didn't care.
The stand seemed deserted of business until a little blue bean, a jelly bean dragon, that is, approached and put his paws onto the counter, drooling on the glass of the popcorn machine. The man selling it stood from his lawn chair with a look of happiness on his face. "Hello, what would ya like?"
The bean blinked out of his popcorn trance after a moment and replied: "I'd like a small bag of popcorn, please."
The man smiled and scooped some fresh buttery popcorn out of the machine, putting it into a red and white striped bag.
"That'll be twenty-five cents."
The dragon scrambled for his pouch pulling it open and dumping the contents on the counter. Out of his paws fell a marble, a dime, a piece of string, a penny, and a seashell. He dug frantically, but that was it. The marble rolled off the counter and the man caught it, placing all of the dragon's objects in his paw.
"Sorry sonny, I'm afraid you don't have enough."
The bean slowly, mechanically, put his things back into his pouch and put it back around his neck, hopping down from the counter. He turned away and his eyes watered up. He stifled a son and ran, tears spilling down his cheeks. The man came down the stairs and asked for my ticket, and my attention was snapped back.
I looked at him in a daze, and he repeated the question.
"Ticket please."
His face was sullen and grumpy, and I still couldn't comprehend what he was saying, I wasn't focused at all. I waved in dismissal and lifted the rope, going under to get out of line. I walked over to the concessions and pulled out my coin purse, looking up to the sign.
"I'd like a small bag of popcorn pl..."
I stopped as the man reached for the bag and reworded.
"I'd like one of the mega bags of popcorn, please."
The man smiled and picked one from the top, grabbing it off the clip.
"I hope this'll cheer that little guy up, he looked so upset."
The man smiled at my remark and handed me the bag; it was cumbersome in its size, and I struggled to wrap one arm around it. I reached it my bag to find some of my dollar bills. "How much?" The man didn't respond and I looked up to see him pulling out his wallet.
"Free of charge; tell the little guy that I'm sorry for ruining his day, I hope this helps."
He put five dollars into the money box and I stuttered a grateful reply.
"Oh my, thank you so much, that's very kind of you, sir. I will make sure he knows."
I smiled and headed the direction I saw him go, following the messy paw prints in the dirt. I hoped they were the right ones, because that little bean looked mighty upset, and I knew exactly how he felt, being deprived of delicious popcorn when it was so close.
The tracks were getting closer together as I went, and they began to blend together, showing he was slowing and beginning to drag his feet in misery. I came around the corner of a large tent to see him sitting alone on a wooden crate, bawling his eyes out pitifully. I sat down the bag and walked up, and he didn't even noticed when I gently sat down and laid a hand on his bag. After a moment, he looked up at me through moist eyes, and I booped him on the nose. He giggled and snorted, and I wiped away the tears.
"Hello, I'm Elizabeth, what's your name?"
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly trying to collect himself.
"My name's Popcorn."
A brilliant smile stretched across my face, and I looked down the realize what the pattern in his fur had to be.
"That has to be the coolest name I have ever heard of in my life."
He giggled and shied away, glancing down at his paws.
"Thanks, I like it because of my favorite food."
I smiled and stood, reaching for the bag while he was still looking down.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess on what that food might be."
I dragged the bag up in front of him, and his jaw dropped. A grin spread from ear to ear on his face and he looked up at me, his eyes lighting up.
"I love popcorn too, so I got this giant bag. I'll never be able to finish it, so do you think you could help me?"
Popcorn's grin got impossibly wider and he nodded spasmodically, reaching out with eager paws. I laughed and cracked open the big bag, and we snacked on it all throughout the day as we went on all the rides together, thankfully, I didn't have to split up the bag for the both of us when the carnival closed up for the night because Popcorn went to the new home he would share with me forever.
Why did I Decide to Help Popcorn?:
I have never had the luck of befriending a Jellybean Dragon, but when I saw that bean so sad I had to help! I would regret not helping that bean smile. I never planned on befriending him, but after we shared that Popcorn there was no doubt. We had become instant friends. If you let me be his best friend, I promise I will always be an active friend with him, on the website and everywhere else (He already covers My Deviant Page!).
How Popcorn Received his Favorite Popcorn bowl:Popcorn wrote:I was very young and naive when I found my popcorn bowl. I was hungry and I walked to go find my mother to ask her for something to eat. It was getting dark, and i wasn't sure where my mother was. I walked by this one bean and saw that he had this white fluffy stuff in a blue bowl. He then starting eating this stuff. I walked up to this bean an asked, "What is that your eating?" The male bean looked up at me with a confused look, and said, "Why, this is popcorn. Here have some." He then nudged the bowl towards me. I looked at it for a second and then took a bite. It was the most amazing I ever had. I thanked the Jellybean Dragon and ran to my mother.
I finally found her, and she looked at me and asked, "What do you need?" I looked at her an put on my best begging face and asked, "May I please get some popcorn?" She looked at me and said, "Go find and bowl and then I will get you some popcorn." So I was determined to go find a bowl. I wasn't sure where to get one and it was getting late, so I decided to wait until morning to find a bowl.
The early sun was just waking up when I set out on my path. I headed into the thick forests, for I had no idea where to start. I walked through the woods for an hour or two looking under every rock and up every tree. I was about to move on to the next place because I had a long way to look, until I heard a cry coming from the other side of the woods. I had to keep moving if I was to find a bowl by nightfall. The cry roared through the trees, hitting my ears. I had to go check out what was going on. I ran to the cries as fast as I could. As I neared the shrieks the creature came into view. It was a Burrowing Owl. I only knew this because we would sometimes run into them when searching for food. We would never eat one of these, and they were great friends to us. This Burrowing Owl had her foot stuck in the root, and it seemed to be badly injured. I walked out of the bushes slowly, trying not to startle her. "Who are you?" She immediately asked when she saw me. "I have no means to hurt. I want to help get you out." I said calmly. I wasn't sure how I was going to get her out without hurting her foot. I decided to try to chew the root apart instead of putting pressure on her foot. I slowly walked up and started to bite at the root. It took a couple of tries before I finally manage to get it weak enough to break. The Burrowing Owl slowly pulled her foot out. It took her a second before she could put weight on the her claws, but she soon was able to walk normally. There was "Thank you," she replied. "Please follow me I want to treat you to dinner as a thanks for saving me." She said as she started to walk.
On our walk she told me she tripped and got her foot jammed into the root, and had been yelling for help for almost an hour. She then asked, "Why were you in the woods?" I replied with "I was searching for a bowl to put my popcorn in." She looked at me for a second and asked, "Oh, you lost a bowl?" I was a little confused on the question, but I replied with "No, I don't own a paintbrush, but I want to find one." She looked at me with a curious look and laughed a little before replying with, "Well you won't find one out in the woods." She said this like it was common knowledge, so I decided not to reply and just laugh with her. We finally came to her home. It was a underground and I barely made it into the hole. once I manage to go down the hole the rest was a lot bigger. She suddenly had a worried look on her face. "Is something wrong?" I asked. She turned to me and said shaking, "My children are gone."
"Wait, isn't their father with them?" I asked. "No, he was going hunting the rest of the night and wouldn't take them with him." She said worried. We both quickly crawled out of the hole. She started calling for them by their names. We decided to split up and search for them. I was walking around, calling their names, but no answer. I had no clue where to look or where they were. I finally heard some whimpering which reminded me of when Cognium and I was separated. I ran as fast as I could. I felt a rush of relief wash over me, as I laid my eyes on these two baby Burrowing Owls. "i am friends with your mother, and I am here to bring you home." I said to them. I called out to their mother as loud as I could. It was not long before she met up with us. She hugged them and could not stop thanking me. "Please come back with me, I have a gift for you." She said to me. We reached her home and she went down the hole, and when she came back up she had a pink bowl in her mouth. "This is to thank you for all your help. " She said as she laid the bowl in front of me. I was so excited, and I thanked her for the amazing gift. "I guess you can find bowls in the woods," She replied jokingly as we waved goodbye.
It was dark by the time I returned, and when I returned I saw my mother waiting for me. See looked to me and said, "Where were you? You had me scared." I looked up to her and I replied with, "I went to go find a bowl for my popcorn." I grabbed my bowl and laid it in front of her. When I showed her my bowl, She smiled and said, "When I said get a bowl, I meant from the house silly." I was mad that I went through all that for nothing. I then realized that I changed someone's life, which made the journey worth it and not for nothing. I would never forget them, and they would never forget me.
