I sent this to my friend (who cosplays with me) and five seconds later she sent me a voice memo of her screaming “YOU DONT NEED TO USE A HUMAN HAIR WIG YOUR FRIEND NEEDS BETTER SOURCES” and a video of her having a mental breakdown over the wig dying so yeah I think you might’ve incurred the wrath if every cosplayer within a 5,000 mile radius
I've cosplayed for 10 years and honestly, this is what everyone's con crunch feels/looks likeXD I've literally seen a friend hot glue fabric to their skin. This is peak cosplay.
Omg! This reminds me when cosplayed for the first time, I was cosplaying chiaki nanami and my mom was helping style the wig and during the whole process i just looked like an emo version of nanami lmfao
Emo Chiaki sounds awesome. My sibling also cosplayed Chiaki and they bought her outfit and wig online. It was their first time cosplaying and they looked AWESOME!!
@@klarenee1123 Yep!! I have dyed so many stuff with ink and rubbing alcohol or synthetic fit dye! I also know people use sharpies on roots with spray it with rubbing alcohol to blend it in if you want the roots to look more natural! I know human wigs are great if you can afford it and want to look natural but I LOVE cartoony cosplays with synthetic wigs. They're also easy to shape and style with low heat. there's also ways to powder them if you DONT want it to look shiny. Arda or Epic Cosplay wigs (brands) also have a lot of wefts if ur worried about them being thin. tho sometimes a cheap amazon wig is fine if ur on a budget.
Seriously I was impressed by the sewing. Like, I've been sewing for years and still need help to thread a sewing machine and find sewing rounded things about the least enjoyable thing on earth. The fact the whole cosplay came out that good is super impressive, especially given the con crunch.
Watching you work with the sewing machine brought back deep rooted memories of Home Ec class and how me and my classmates sewed pj pants and a full sweatshirt and how much i fucking MISS the knowledge that i lost cuz DAMN, i need to fix some clothes lol.
I’m living for the chaos! You did such a good job! Also don’t worry. As a cosplayer of 6 years, making cosplays is just one chaotic moment after another! 😂
As a cosplay of 3 1/2~ years, watching you dye the wig was absolutely terrifying for me to watch >~< but, for a first time I think you did amaizing!! I have never dyed a wig myself but I did use eyeshadow on my glam rock chica wig!! Also!! Con-crunch is very real, even as someone who has never been to a con, making a cosplay before a very specific date that's super close is so scary-
Having cosplayed since middle school, the hoteling everything brought back SO many memories omg no. it melts sometimes in the summer (I'm from soCal tho so depends on how hot it gets where u live) I just hand stitch stuff like that or safety pin 😓
Please put all of your spools of thread and bobbins in a closed container for your cats' safety! Many years ago one of my cats played with one of my spools of thread, entangling it around and over my chair, while swallowing thread at the same time. I found him stuck to the leg of the chair by thread wound around his tongue and down his throat. After cutting the thread away from the chair leg, I raced my cat in to the emergency vet. Thank goodness I didn't try to pull the thread out of his mouth because the vet told me that could've cut through his tongue or esophagus. My cat was at the vet for a few days and only missed having to have surgery because the laxatives finally worked. My cat passed 22 yards of thread through his digestive system! He could've ended up having to have abdominal surgery for a bowel obstruction. 😢 He recovered and lived many more years after that accident. 😊❤
This video is a perfect example of the homosexual audacity of thinking you can do anything without a tutorial or any experience in the craft 😂 absolutely love when it works out, great fit 😊
Watching this as a cosplayer who has never dyed a wig traumatised me. But the sewing part is so accurate lol. It's all fuck around and find out if it looks like the character
Great job! Without question get yourself some proper fabric scissors they will make everything better & ask your sewing friends for a quick tutorial before your next machine sew session for less frustration
That poor wig ;_; Your bestie is top tier for pulling some voodoo magic shit and making that look super cute (was she just trying it and straightening it, or did you have to redye some of it?). Also that glue gun is very LiVe LaUgH lOvE and I really want to get one now XD
As someone that dyes their own hair and sews their own clothes, I died while watching this. There was so much you did wrong.... I even heard my sewing machine cry...
idk if Arda has any weft shades that exact color but they're super high quality and great to work with (they do have the synthetic Residue though, if you put your hands on it too much)
Just a tip, this is not made to criticize in anyway but when you use a Gua sha make sure it is just gliding over your skin and not tugging it, fredric Chen talks about how to use them if anyone wants to know the traditional way to use it 😄
your bobbin thread mess was so real (I did the same as a beginner and now it happens less but I still don't know what happened - probably thread tension but I don't know much about tension 😅)
As someone with a little sewing experience, I would suggest bar soap to draw on fabric bc it washes off, eyeliner probably isn't a good idea😂 love you Frederick lol❤
I sincerely hope you go to more conventions!! I’m certain a lot of us would like to meet you 😭❣️ I will literally bow to you, on the floor, for you and your friends to go to more conventions lol Also, omg wig 😭
had to laugh out loud rq when you said 'this is gonna take a while' when stuffing the pillow, bc the image of myself a few months ago flashed in my head, me and the entire room covered in little bits of old pillow stuffing and a 2.5m long, 15cm diameter purple tube in front of me. orochimaru.
“For anyone who sews, I don’t need to hear the judgement” Well you are gonna get it anyways. (Even) More so for that cutting and “patterning” job than the actual sewing sry 😂 but hey for your first time, you are doing amazing sweetie
13:18 no way u took a shower and put on the same boxers frederic omg😭?!?! (I noticed when he flashed us later on in the vid that they were like the same ones as before he showered IN NOT A PERV YALL I SWEAR🤞💋)
who should I cosplay next 🥴
also thank you so much for almost 1 million SUBSCERIBERS??? Y'all are crazy...
You deserve all the subscribers because you’re such a vibe. Love your positivity and your vibes. Love your energy

MIKU!

Oh try Jessie from team rocket ,Nurse Joy,Olympia or literally anything

Period
as a cosplayer i wanted to cry while watching you dye the wig 🥲XD
Cry it out girl
@@FredericChenwhat was he doing wrong ? ALSO LUV U FREDDY 😝😝
Omg!! Same! I've been cosplaying for 3 1/2~ years and it scared me so bad-
@notville_ HEY ONLY IM ALLOWED TO CALL HIM FREDDY 😡
As a fashion design student and casual cosplayer watching him sew made me want to cry
I've cosplayed for 10 years and honestly, this is what everyone's con crunch feels/looks likeXD I've literally seen a friend hot glue fabric to their skin. This is peak cosplay.
I had a friend hot glue their wig together and onto themselves since it died the day before the con
The description 💀💀 honestly I want a big buff woman to rip off my tights while I’m cosplaying too
Finally someone noticed my work of art
HAHA THANK YOU for making me check it
Omg! This reminds me when cosplayed for the first time, I was cosplaying chiaki nanami and my mom was helping style the wig and during the whole process i just looked like an emo version of nanami lmfao
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE SEEN UR ACOUNT
Emo Chiaki sounds 🔥
Emo Chiaki sounds awesome. My sibling also cosplayed Chiaki and they bought her outfit and wig online. It was their first time cosplaying and they looked AWESOME!!
@NotVille_ THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH IVE SEEN YOU
synthetic wigs are tbh easier to dye cuz you can use synthetic dyes for it
I didn’t know synthetic dyes EXIST
@@FredericChenI think they mean like, RIT or whatever stuff is used to dye synthetic fabrics? maybe I’m wrong tho😅

@@FredericChen yea rit more is pretty good dye for wigs what ive heard, ofc theyre not apartment friendly (possibly toxic) so research is adviced

Ironically this is exactly how I look trying to dye my own hair
no clue why this has so little views compared to their other videos. i was THOROUGHLY entertained
I’m glad you enjoyed it
Watching you work with the sewing machine brought back deep rooted memories of Home Ec class and how me and my classmates sewed pj pants and a full sweatshirt and how much i fucking MISS the knowledge that i lost cuz DAMN, i need to fix some clothes lol.
It only took me an hour to set it up!

10:05 "how have we not invented a better way to thread the needle"
he says while ignoring the automatic needle threader...
HUHHHHH IT EXISTS!
as a cosplayer watching you cut the fabric with normal scissors instead of fabric scissors made me die a little inside
ROUND OF APPLAUSE 👏 👏👏
Having cosplayed since middle school, the hoteling everything brought back SO many memories omg no.
it melts sometimes in the summer (I'm from soCal tho so depends on how hot it gets where u live) I just hand stitch stuff like that or safety pin 😓
Thank you for a full vid of meme content
You’re welcome

the wig bit had me worried but it turned out really good! i felt the con crunch fr
This video is a perfect example of the homosexual audacity of thinking you can do anything without a tutorial or any experience in the craft 😂 absolutely love when it works out, great fit 😊
I (a homosmexual) did this with relationships :D
Shauntal is my favorite elite four member. She's so cute in Masters EX.
We all need a friend like that to fix our messy wigs that we ruined lol 😆
Please tell me Lilly will continue to call you out for stuff in future videos. She is brilliant.
😭😭☝️ STOP 3:22 YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR MAKING SOME FORBIDDEN KIMCHI ON THE FLOOR WITH THOSE GLOVES IM DED 😭😭
PLSSSSSS NOT KIMCHI

As a cosplayer, this is the common concrunch experience. Hahahahhaa so very accurate to the cosplay community life.
2:19 the way you read my mind after I thought “the hairstylists are gonna be so pissed” haha 😂❤

You did an amazing job!!!!! So cute!!!
loved it. the fit was looking pretty cute and pretty in the end.
i love the use of no fabric scissors....this video is making me cry mentally😶
Shauntal is adorable
Omg I can’t wait to watch this
your bobbin thread mess was so real (I did the same as a beginner and now it happens less but I still don't know what happened - probably thread tension but I don't know much about tension 😅)
Okay but why was this awesome. I want to see more!
I am crying at how you're dyeing that poor wig sjsjjd
I just realized you could’ve used a neck pillow room of of them big ones and if it’s not big enough just stuff it more💀😂😂
Your attitude toward dying wigs is how I approach life
AHH THE OUTFIT IS ADORABLE 😭
I love that we're getting more lily 😩🫰❤️
As someone with a little sewing experience, I would suggest bar soap to draw on fabric bc it washes off, eyeliner probably isn't a good idea😂 love you Frederick lol❤
I sincerely hope you go to more conventions!! I’m certain a lot of us would like to meet you 😭❣️ I will literally bow to you, on the floor, for you and your friends to go to more conventions lol
Also, omg wig 😭
Wait there's 3 cats? So cute! 💜 And you're cuter than all them combined!!💜
WoW you look great Frederick! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love your cats they make me laugh.❤❤
EVERYONE SHUT NEW FREDRIC CHEN VID
Frederic*
11:13 the inclusion of the Taylor Swift meme image gives me SO much joy as a fellow Swiftie! ❤🫶❤
if you had sculpting wire, the neck thing would've stand up perfectly.
so smart I’ll remember this
Shauntal my BELOVED
This video has such Jenna Marbles vibes, and I love it for that.
Best compliment
Tbh.... He slays💅
We just gonna 😊walk over that lip bite at the end?
shauntal is mother, the whole elite four of gen v is amazing
for as short as her hair is synthetic would've been fine and SO MUCH CHEAPER your friend did you so dirty
Can u maybe do a dress haul? I would love to see your collection
This actually came out really good.
HAPPY 1 MILL❤❤❤
had to laugh out loud rq when you said 'this is gonna take a while' when stuffing the pillow, bc the image of myself a few months ago flashed in my head, me and the entire room covered in little bits of old pillow stuffing and a 2.5m long, 15cm diameter purple tube in front of me. orochimaru.
fans failling to spell fredric (hehe) incorrectly and at this point they doing it on purpose
As a drag queen, this whole video had me screaming NO. Especially the wig part. And the inclusion of the drag clips also made me giggle like crazy.
I don't even cosplay and the wing event made me die inside
“For anyone who sews, I don’t need to hear the judgement”
Well you are gonna get it anyways. (Even) More so for that cutting and “patterning” job than the actual sewing sry 😂 but hey for your first time, you are doing amazing sweetie
Six years between red green and blue, you can stain the floor. Shampoo and baking soda helps, idk anything about carpet
Synthetic wigs are not that bad trust me, 😂 doesn’t matter what kind of wig you use but ahhhh I felt the struggle
Cosplay looks fun but Im on a budget of 0 bucks lol !
Omg I need a tomato lamp!!! 🍅
Its so good
I’d like to believe it is all CGI and no wig has been hurt during the filming of this video but I can’t.
I’m a cosplayer and this makes me have a mental breakdown!
looking at the thumbnail, i thought, "why not just get a purple wig???" but i forgot this is Extra so of course it's human hair
I got here as soon as possible
10:18 “I GOT YOU IN MY SIGHTS?”
YOU MEAN AS IN THE QOUTE SOILDER 76 SAIDS BEFORE POPPIN HIS ULT-
4:15 "and more bluish blurple"
I have those same slippers 🐱 slay
He really though he could trick us by outing the same picture of him
Your cats are agents of Chaos
Seeing Pokémon made me super happy
old youtube vibe diy here.
Best compliment
ENGINEERING MAJOR YUHH
If you dip dyed in a pot of hot water the 1 bottle would be more than enough
they're massaging the dye into that wig like they're making kimchi lmaooo
his cats r so chaotic
Great work, cats are true seekers of attention 😅😂
As a cosplayer i wanted to have a mental breakdown watching this 😋
Love your videos tho
13:18 no way u took a shower and put on the same boxers frederic omg😭?!?! (I noticed when he flashed us later on in the vid that they were like the same ones as before he showered IN NOT A PERV YALL I SWEAR🤞💋)
Lolllll I LOVE GOST POKEMON AND I LOVE THE WIG 😘❤😘✨
I've been finding god through this entire experience....
Came out good though, some how
Your treating that poor wig like a loofah
WHATS YOUR NAME? B.O.B SO THEY CALLING YOU BOB
Watching this is so stressful 😭
“If you’re on your period just put hot glue on your skirt and it warms your tummy”
I saw Shantaul and I clicked SO FAST
Frederic.. you look like Edna Mode
Are those bruises? Is everything alright?
Hickies
Edna Mode
