These Tags Are Too Good To Remain Hidden

These tags are too good to remain hidden

I've had this silly idea in my head for awhile and I feel like I need to get it out.

I've been speculating on what Ford's impact on the other dimensions he visited would be, and I can't help but feel like he'd end up on some other dimension's version of Cops at some point. Probably blasting triangles off the side of a building at 2 in the morning with a weapon that's illegal in seven sectors.

The police order him to stop and he calmly, but sternly explains that he can't because the triangle symbols are access points for an evil greater than all of them. The police are unimpressed, but he keeps arguing with them. They end up having to space-taser and tackle him to arrest him. Somebody photoshops a screencap of the footage so it looks like he's blasting a pretentious sculpture by Knish Karich (no relation to Anish Kapoor we swear!) instead. It goes viral and becomes a meme to photoshop "the suspect" blasting things the photoshopper dislikes. The meme gains some controversy because some netizens think it glorifies police brutality and mocks somebody who is obviously mentally ill. Other netizens think "the suspect" is awesome, and quote catchphrases from the footage ("you can't shoot me, I'm right!" in particular).

Gravity Falls is a nexus for the weird, and sometimes TVs there pick up signals from other worlds. Stan's TV happens to catch a documentary series about the other dimension's version of Cops. Stan initially is only watching the series because changing the channel would require him to Get Up and he's not doing that. Plus he shouted for Ford to change the channel and Ford refused. But then it starts talking about the series's biggest contribution to pop culture in that dimension and Stan realizes that he recognizes "the suspect." He shouts for Ford again, this time telling him that he's got a really, really good reason change the channel for him.

Ford had no idea they were even recording him for a TV show. Stan, being a typical brother, is teasing him mercilessly about it. Ford is horrified yet morbidly curious about what kinds of reality TV exist in other realities.

Ford's lucky Stan only got the other dimension's version of Cops, though. There's at least one Law and Disorder villain based on him in a dimension that conflated his actions with those of a glass-armonica-loving serial killer. He was also featured on Geonaz's Least Wanted, the true crime dating show that captures fugitives and their hearts.

Desperate spam texts from a desperate triangle... and one conversation from a healthy, loving relationship!

I've discovered that if I take a bunch of quotes from @the-haiku-bot and put them on PD/CC0 images with the right font, they can look downright profound. Or amusing.

Ace Sweater Designs by artsymeeshee in the Sims 4

I saw this Gravity Falls fanart by @artsymeeshee that featured Ford discovering that he's asexual and asking Mabel if she can make him sweaters themed around that. So he ends up wearing three cute Mabel sweaters themed around asexuality. I liked the designs that @artsymeeshee came up with so much that I decided that I wanted to put them in the Sims 4, so here we go! Look at (my terrible attempt at recreating) Ford and Mabel go!

There are two versions of the sweaters with words on them-- one is in English, the other is in Simlish. The green sweater says "NO ROMO" in English (Helvetica font) and "NEIB ROMO" in Simlish (Nootrasim font-- I think "neib" is Simlish for no but don't quote me on it). The purple sweater says "SPACE ACE" in English (RaveParty Bold font) and "SPACE ACE" in Simlish (also Nootrasim font, because Blender was being a jerk about the other Simlish fonts I tried).

There is also a blank sweater with three swatches-- these are just the sweaters without any icons or funny sayings on them.

I made separate versions for the male and female models in the Sims 4. The ones for the male models are labeled "mal" whereas the ones for the female models are labeled "fem." You need to download both the male and female models if you want the sweater to be available for all genders.

Note: You will need the Holiday Celebrations DLC to see the sweaters in the game. This is because the sweater model is from a turtleneck in that DLC. The DLC is available from EA for free.

I hope I did an okay job at least! Thanks again to @artsymeeshee for letting me use her designs and for making an awesome comic! Here's the spread:
