wow i want this wig.
Shoes I got to use with Formal PM, but mainly also for future Pinkie Pie-ing. They fit!! The main problem is that they are much higher heels than I am used to, but that is something I can get better at. I wanted mary jane style and cutesy, and everything else was either way way more expensive, or EVEN TALLER.
PM Homestuck Letter Project: Letter Collection
I have a zillion letters below! Not all of them are spellchecked. They are meant for those curious and other PM cosplayers who would like to hand them out!
Some of them have ~’s by them (I used them to help me figure out what I had already printed) so you may want to delete those symbols before printing. I am not going to go through and delete them, though.
When printing, just change it to Courier New and change the text color to the character writing.
To those attending Wasabi or Nan Desu Kan:There is a chance that if you are in Homestuck cosplay you will be receiving (or have received) one or more of these letters! If you want to keep it a surprise, then don’t read, but if you don’t care then here you go!
Another Note: I wrote none of the letters, the fandom rose to the challenge and helped me out!! I also won’t post the images just because I’m really tired and they would take a lot more time to get off of word and onto the internet.

PM accessories I’m making in preparation for Homestuck Prom.
Necklace was made from the plastic cover of a notebook, painted and clear nail polished. The hair bow I…. I don’t really know how I made that, I had no flipping clue what I was doing. Came out alright though. I put clear nail polish and some glitter on the stamp.
So I have discovered that this is one of those shirts you need help getting out of if you don’t want to rip it or something.
I sure am glad I decided to try it on and make sure everything works right when my roomie isn’t home.
I think… I’ll just wear this… forever….

Bluuuuhhh yeah I’m not remaking these. They turned out feeling too long„„ BUT WHATEVS. A bit lumpy but pretty smooth considering how cheap and lame I made them.
Five dollar sunglasses from walmart - I scratched out grooves where the lines would be with an xacto knife and painted it with regular white acrylic paint. It stays much better because of the grooves.
I used this tutorial for the horns. They worked out pretty well considering the cheap materials. It helps to paint a gazillion layers of white over the masking tape before painting the colors. Then the surface is much smoother and looks less like masking tape and more like horns. I used a combination of hot glue and super glue to get the horns to stay on the headband.
