So I’m suddenly going to an anime con this weekend where they’re crazy about Homestuck. I make silly hats, and I have time to make one or two before this weekend. Which characters should I go for? Who’s popular?
If you specifically want to make a silly hat associated with a character? Nepeta, I guess. Blue hat, orange horns/cat ears.
Also there’s a group of minor characters called the Felt who all have numbered hats, but they’re probably less popular than Nepeta. The Felt | MS Paint Adventures Wiki | Fandom
(sorry, not sure from your OP if you read the comic yourself and just wanted ideas, or if you’re not familiar with it at all! Either way I think a Nepeta hat would be cute.)
I don’t read it. Tried. Apparently I am not cool enough to get it or something. Love the idea of making a hat that the character actually wears! I was thinking more just a hair and horns thing. Which other one would work?
Lots of hats in the series, not all of them interesting, though.
Nepeta’s got a good hat.
Feferi could be a good basis for a headpiece (hair, tiara, horns all in one, maybe add the little earfins).
The Trolls’ god-tier hoods are cool, with the buttons going around their horns (and, of course, the horns themselves). Vriska’s and Gamzee’s are particularly good.
Then, of course, there’s Horuss. (Though it may be better to look for fanart to get an idea of how that is supposed to look.)
To get a bit meta, Calliope’s trollsona would make a good basis for a headpiece.
I’m bumping this thread because I went to AwesomeCon in DC this weekend and was amazed to see how many people were cosplaying Homestuck characters – mostly trolls, but lots of others as well.
I was silently congratulating myself on knowing every costume I saw, if not specifically at least generally, but I had to google “orange horns cosplay” to find out the deal with these folks.
Most of the trolls would work if you’re just interested in some hair+horns, but I’d advice against Aradia or Tavros - they have (potentially) gigantic and heavy horns that would be a pain to make and wear. But any of the other (beta, non-ancestor) trolls would probably be workable. I think the easiest would be Karkat, Terezi, or Nepeta, who have small, symmetrical horns and not much hair. Nepeta also has the hat that people were mentioning, so you could potentially combine the two somehow?
In terms of popularity, pretty much any HS character is going to have some following, but Karkat and Terezi are pretty damn popular.
ETA: Unfortunately, I know way too much about Homestuck.
Whoops, I’m basically very dumb and didn’t see that this was about two years old. Sorry for double-posting, and for responding pointlessly to an ancient thread.
