Incoming post about glasses: I'll just be linking and talking about two different stores to buy specialized glasses from, one of which I've personally bought. I figured why not. First up is Akujin Corps.

Akujin has glasses for pretty much any character that needs them, most notably people usually get their Dirk glasses from there. You'll also find glasses for the Libra trolls too, and so much more. Prices are a bit high, something like $30.00 at least for each pair, but I think it's pretty good. Next is Lightning and Lace.

Pic related is their glasses for Dirk, and the ones I use personally. I just think the shape and size is just perfect, though it's also more transparent? Less opaque? Whatever is the right term, basically it's easier to see through so if you look closely you can see someone's eyes. Which can be good if you've got say, orange contacts underneath. The only very minor gripe is that there are screws which help the stability, and two regular screws will stick out on black glasses. But you can just paint them black or whatever. Lightning and Lace also has glasses for John and Jade, but it's kinda pricey at $12.00 each. Those are the only glasses they have for Homestuck though, Akujin's selection is much greater.

And this has been glasses. There are alternate methods of course, such as just straight up making your own (in the case of Dirk for instance, using plexiglass and all that), but if you're looking to just buy them, either of those two stores will suffice.
