Another thing I like about Sphinxford is the fact that a sphinx is not bipedal.
I mean, there is no more lovely mental image to me than Ford doing a series of increasingly ridiculous gymnastics trying to move around on just his hind legs, before resigning himself to the relatively undignified reality of how his body works now.

i’ve talked a lot about reverse portal! stan but not ford
some differences between him and canon ford
he’s not as beefy or agile, a bit of a wimp
wears lab coats and button up shirts instead of turtlenecks and trench coats
he quit his research of monsters and stuff after stan entered the portal
he has grown to be a little afraid of the things he used to study. the paranoia we saw in canon!ford before he entered the portal never totally left with rp!ford
constant guilt lol
he is also p sheltering to dipper and mabel. when they eventually show him the journal, he panics and takes it away. but eventually the kids win back his trust and he lets them hold on to it for a little longer, for self defense only
these were very convincing and did prompt this post but i can’t believe no one told me that if u slap a lab coat on ford he’s perfectly color coordinated w a pokeball
well i guess this is it
