I Know That We As A Fandom Tends To Focus More On The BoB Drunk Karaoke Page More Than The One Right

I know that we as a fandom tends to focus more on the BoB drunk karaoke page more than the one right before it, but there I got to admit the lead into that page is absolutely hilarious to me. Just... Ford being like "oh I'm not a drinker - he's not gonna talk me into it" and then BAM- smash cut to the absolute drunkest Ford has ever been in his life.

But it's also fascinating because it actually really subtly shows just how much Ford was willing to do out-of-character things due to Bill's influence. It's small admittedly, but it's still a little foot in the door gesture that showed that Bill was willing to push Ford's boundaries for his own interests in ways that Ford just... Never noticed until it was too late.

Chat what's the opposite of "aged like milk"?

That one is not that much of a stretch. Texas Instruments is first and foremost a semiconductor company. That means its main product is microchips (which TI made commercially viable and was instrumental in proliferating) and things that can be made from microchips like vocal synthesizers (like the Speak and Spell). Built from the ashes of the defunct Geophysical Service Incorporated in 1951, it actually did work for the seismology part of the oil industry and military defense before it invented the handheld calculator in 1967. Thematically, missiles aren't that far off from military submarine navigation systems and covert monitoring of Soviet nuclear tests.

Plus, the underlying math for calculating points in multidimensional space is basically the same regardless of what the space is or what the points represent. A calculator is highly generalized in functionality. So even if TI did start out as a calculator company, it really wouldn't be that hard from an engineering standpoint to take the basic calculation hardware (or more likely, multiple calculators' worth of hardware) and affix it to a missile rather than a dot-matrix screen.

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:

immediately thought of him

My headcanon is that the effect on the eyes is actually pretty subtle-- it's just made unsubtle for the sake of the audience. If you looked closely, you'd see that the eye proportions were off and maaaaybe notice a bit of jaundice. But you'd have to look closely (or be some kind of retina scanner or something).

The biggest tell is Bill's behavior, which I still consider a pretty large plot hole. Nobody was even a little bit weirded out when "Dipper" dumped soda all over his face? Or offered to tell Soos the exact time of his death? I guess it all happened off-screen? (Apparently the writers were going to add stuff but ran out of time in the episode. Personally, I think Sock Opera should've been a multi-part episode, but I don't know what it would take for Disney to approve that or whatever.)

the reason no one noticed dipper was possessed in the puppet episode was because the only physical thing that changed were his eyes and the entire pines family are autistic and dont like eye contact
