Next, I'd like to see her make a Warrior full face helmet to wear over her mask to casually wear to the shops. "For when you feel the need for full protection"😂
In 2020 armour is VERY practical--you never know when the zombie apocalypse will decide to enter the chat, lol! We do still have several levels of Jumanji to go, haha!
Just so you know 'casual armor' has been a style in the Metal community since at least the 1980s. Metalheads wear bracers and gauntlets (also known as wristguards and armguards) casually as everyday adornment. I've seen chainmail worn at concerts, but I don't think they wear it everyday. I'm sure there is other stuff I'm forgetting because I don't wear it myself, but I see it all the time.
Its the armour with the dress. Most female warriors go with pants, but skirts can be super useful it you know how to fight in them. Susan in the Narnia films went in that direction, and it always made me super happy.
“Want to protect yourself from falling debris, but only, like, very specific parts of your body?” ...and... “Ready to show how you’re...ready for battle- but maybe...like a nerf gun battle...” -Rachel, this was such fun. 😂
I'm loving that Binx is stealing the limelight recently. It's like she knows how much we all love Frodo and can't stand missing out. She's not really bothered but wants to get one over on the dog. In true cat stylee. Ps. Casual armour should really be a thing. I'd be all over it, if I ever left the house...
*The Daenerys video* *Suffering™️ Rachel:* I hate life remind me never to do scales or Daenerys ever again. *Knightcore™️ Rachel:* Haha Daenerys scaly armour :p
So she turns into Gandalf, then gets Armour, then goes on an adventure in the woods.... Rachel, are you a Hobbit being called for your own Great Journey?
I eagerly await the day where Rachel says "I'm hoping to get all the skeletons built today" and then it cuts to her actually building skeletons and painting them fun colors. Probably earth tones.
I am not going to lie, I am as excited as a 2 year old that has never seen a cat every time Binx appears. Same with Frodo btw, but at least I have no dogs myself. But I have two cats at home, so there is no excuse for this level of thrill. I kind of want a video of Frodo and Binx wearing casual armour or cosplaying as Yzma and Kronk, but I feel Binx will call animal protective services if Rachel tries that.
Oh my goodness.... gor some reason the neck casual armor reminds me of Egyptian jewelry! I'd love to see a cool Egyptian vibe outfit (both archeologist and Egyptian queen 👸)
“Practicality doesn’t matter, and Style is an illusion, and fashion is a made up concept.” Our dear Rachel went from “weird-ass content” to dropping #TruthBombs Get ‘em sis! P R E A C H! P.S. Gibson-girl Hair and a Respirator is a V I B E ... or an aesthetic. I don’t really know what those things mean...
Rachel, talking about cutting out scales: "It probably won't be that time consuming." Me, remembering the Daenerys dress: "Heh" Editing Rachel: "Heh" no shade, Rachel, we love you and they turned out great!!!
I learn more from Rachel Maksy’s School of Design than I would at an any art school out there. I always come back for the jokes, honesty, and humility when facing new challenges. I too, like to learn through practice along with trial and error. Mistakes are part of the fun and the journey. Thank you for your videos, always appreciated.
I've been playing so much Skyrim lately that when she said "Do you wanna protect yourself", I immediately went "or deal some damage?". May be going to the Whiterun smithies a bit too much
As someone with ADHD, your motto about ‘why do something today when you can stress about it tomorrow’ is pretty much how I live my life 😂. Also, I do this thing when I go out that I call ‘casual pirate’ where I will wear a white peasant blouse and a long flowing skirt, and then top it off with one of the Halloween pirate vests I keep hanging in my closet year round. Put in a pair of hoop earrings and I will head to the grocery store looking like a swashbuckler lol 😆
💙pirates😍 On those pms-ing, hormonally challenged days I'd go to the store normally dressed but with Lycan contacts and teeth just to creep out the cashiers. It made me feel as good as chocolate.
need to normalize subtle/casual costumes and cosplays along with not so subtle/casual costumes and cosplays as the few places to wear them have already been severely limited. Why not go grocery shopping as Jack Sparrow or to the post as swamp hag. Don't let the muggles get you down!
Hey, if we ever get sales scrummages like Black Friday again it will come in handy with the pointed elbows you can use to get to that absolute bargain - damage and looking bad ass whilst shopping!!!!
@@rachealsylvester8084 As someone who works in a grocery store, I cheer heartily for your suggestion. It's amazing how quickly the monotony can be broken by something as simple as seeing a man in a kilt (with sporin & all; I'm in the U.S.) Casual armor would surely make my day.
Rachel: “Why Do Today, What You Can Self-Sabotage And Stress About Tomorrow?” Me: (Having not done university work cause I’m anxious about ~everything~) ...... Saaaaaame! (:
You should know that if you're ever worried about making "weird" "out of the norm" content, don't be. I literally look forward to every upload no matter what it is lol 😋😍
Is it just me or has your cat demanded more screen time in the videos starting with the Frodo compilation than in your whole previous channel history combined
When you're feeling down and overwhelmed and you need some whimsy in your life there's nothing quite like video about casual armor from Rachel. Thank you for this gift!
Your videos are honestly therapeutic. "Cozy" is the best description of how I feel when you sit down with your coffee and I know something epic is coming!!! Thank you for your content!
Office manager: What are you wearing? Me: Casual armor! OM: That’s not really up to our business casual dress code. Me: It’s a necessary accessory while working in this office. OM: No, actually- Me: NERF WAR!!!!!!
"is your outward appearance too approachable?" Hahaha why yes it always is! The amount of times I've had myself covered in black clothes and chains and combat boots and people will still want to ask me where something is on campus!! Also going back to review the scale making so I can maybe craft me some "dragon punk" clothes. (Note didn't come up with dragon punk, someone mentioned it in Rachel's made up aesthetic video and I'm embracing it)
This is 100% me! I'm always in black, usually with a book or headphones and I have resting bitch face but at my bus stop people still come to me to ask stuff :D
"It's not too much surface area so i dont think it'll take too much time" Me: wait for it wait for it wait for it *editing Rachel appears* Me: THERE IT IS!
Casual Armour, for when you've got a business meeting at 6 and an invasion into the lands of thine mortal enemy, the Lord who pay tithe to the demons of the abyss, destroyer of innocents and the one prophecised to bring end to all good things planned at 7
As someone whose in theater and in many other extra circulars, I have had to wear costume pieces under an orchestra uniform before. Oh yeah and of course hate it when I have to kill a demon king after a softball game.
I have literally always wanted to just wear bits of leather armor around. Like why isn't the mainstream fashion? How could you NOT want this? Thank you for working so hard on this video and being such a lovely creator in general! It's absolutely glorious and you are so so appreciated!
"When your resting bitch face just isn't getting the job done" SO TRUE! It's covered by a mask. This casual armour is just the thing I need to keep all those peoples away. Thanks, Rachel. This was so much fun again. You make me smile every time. Have a great camping trip and I look forward to seeing you on your next You Tube adventure. Take care.
My daughter’s school ended up instituting a no chainmaille policy for this very reason. It only takes one person wearing it irresponsibly to ruin it for all. 🤣
Omg. This video reminded me I have a crochet pattern in my pattern drawer for a "chainmail" neckscarf thing and a separate hood. It's sized for kids but I think that some casual armor needs to happen in my wardrobe! Love this idea! *dreams of being Eowyn/a dragonslayer coming true right now*
It is BLISTERING outside right now and the simply the thought of wearing casual armor has me sweating buckets... alas, I would do it for the aesthetic.
Rachel, I must say, that I don’t have the words to adequately articulate how much I appreciate that Binx has been making more appearances lately. As a fellow cat-mom, I always enjoy seeing other furry babies, especially ones that are torties/calicos like my own baby girl ( ^-^)
Casual neck-armor is totally my fave too! More Frodo-cuddle time! Also, Labyrinth reference was just ... *glomp*-worthy. Rachel: You remind me of the babe/ (what babe?) Me (startling other people in the house): THE BABE WITH THE POWER!!
Rachel, you were actually the one who got me into sewing when my anxiety got bad during lockdown, and also got me started on my own vintage journey, so thank you for that 😊 but just do what makes you happy! We’ll enjoy it no matter what, practicality be damned! Take care of yourself ❤️
When you said 'Casual Armor', my mind went immediately to Zoe on Firefly with that leather vest-like piece that has the side buckles/straps. Simplicity has a costume pattern for it. Your vest buckler looks a little more fun, though! Enjoy your trip and stay safe!
Casual Armor implies the existence of Formal Armor, so henceforth I will be attending all formal events in full plate armor. I REALLY don't want anyone to talk to me.
Hmmm, yes, I think I will start incorporating my LARP garb into my everyday outfits. I'd wear my claws more too, but it's impossible to sew or type in them.
Me: Maybe... Maybe I can wear this to work at the office on casual Friday Oh also! Your pitcher plant is a swap plant which always needs to stay moist. Transfer to a glass bowl (so you can always see water levels) and use peat moss medium before putting into the macrame hanger
You have super quickly become one of my favorite youtubers, and you've inspired me to get back into sewing/cosplay again!! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!!
Yessss swords are great. I once herd of this person that preformed Shakespeare drunk, and one of the girls always pulled a sword out of her bosoms and the equally drunk crown went nuts. Swords are great. If me and my future wife both don’t have swords at our wedding, I’m not going! Then we can have a sword battle after the ceremony, but it might be a bit hard in wedding dresses. Sapphic brides in big princes midevil wedding dresses with swords is yes.
Rachel: "neck piece? Chonky necklace..." Me(who has actual armor): You mean the gorget? Also me: Rachel!! You should join the SCA!... not that we can do anything right now...
OMG OK what on earth is the SCA?!? Every once in a while this sketchy ass sign appears in my town that says SCA🔱➡️ and has like a trident. It’s hand drawn and so creepy but I wanna know what they’re pointing out to me 😂😂
@@katiehess1752 the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a medieval/renaissance period reenactment group with members all over the world. The sketchy trident sign is probably showing members where to go for events. It's tons of fun, and there's a ton of stuff to do. In my local group, I fence, shoot target archery, and work the siege engines. (Trebuchets are so much fun!!) I also do a lot of sewing and embroidery. That was actually what led me to start watching Rachel, Morgan Donner, and Bernadette Banner, in the first place. And my sewing abilities match Rachel's almost exactly. Next time that sign shows up (which probably won't be til February) follow it and see what you find!
Emily DeWitt huh how odd. Thank you for explaining!! I’m just so confused now because those signs always show up in a residential neighborhood where there isn’t room for anything like what you’re describing 😂 maybe someone hosts it in their backyard. Sounds cool either way! Thanks!
You are so right about the cool harness and armour like accessories, this makes me wanna go make stuff like this too! Also please make a vest collection/how to style vests video! (This has been on my mind for days)
"Why buy tomorrow what you can buuyy today?" ha ha Your existential question made me think of this. This was a really cool video. We always talk about wearing whatever you want, but it can be hard to actually make it happen.

You could always make it a thing 👍
Its the armour with the dress. Most female warriors go with pants, but skirts can be super useful it you know how to fight in them. Susan in the Narnia films went in that direction, and it always made me super happy.
Oh, oh, oh! Long, forest green dress to pair with the casual armour! The colour combo would be amazing!
Am I the only one who wants to see Rachel do a full 'Swamp Hag Warrior' outfit?!
Ummmmmm I'm pretty sure we all need that
“Want to protect yourself from falling debris, but only, like, very specific parts of your body?”
...and...
“Ready to show how you’re...ready for battle- but maybe...like a nerf gun battle...”
-Rachel, this was such fun. 😂

YES. Black Tie (and Chestplates)
Hmmm, yes, I think I will start incorporating my LARP garb into my everyday outfits. I'd wear my claws more too, but it's impossible to sew or type in them.
The closed captions for this are amazing, it can’t quite decide what “worbla” is 😂
8:20 "it does infact look like a giant can of"
me:caramel!
video:"boogers"
D:!
Me: Maybe... Maybe I can wear this to work at the office on casual Friday
Oh also! Your pitcher plant is a swap plant which always needs to stay moist. Transfer to a glass bowl (so you can always see water levels) and use peat moss medium before putting into the macrame hanger
This is exactly what I've been thinking about doing! Just make some casual, "around town" armor
Hahaha yes!!
As someone who grew up with and adores Labyrinth with all her heart, please know your stunning Jareth reference made my entire week!!! 😭💕

You have super quickly become one of my favorite youtubers, and you've inspired me to get back into sewing/cosplay again!! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!!
Just had a really creepy guy smile at me today. I need a full hecking suit of armor lol. And a sword. A sword would be good.
Knitting needles will do, in a pinch.
Although a sword is totally awesome, I would suggest a dagger which seems more suitable for everyday life 😁
They never expect you to pull out a sword, but check your municipal codes to see if they’re legal carry! Some places are absolutely that petty!
If you have enough hair to do Edwardian-ish hairstyles, maybe try wearing hats so you can have a hat pin on hand at all times
Yessss swords are great. I once herd of this person that preformed Shakespeare drunk, and one of the girls always pulled a sword out of her bosoms and the equally drunk crown went nuts.
Swords are great. If me and my future wife both don’t have swords at our wedding, I’m not going!
Then we can have a sword battle after the ceremony, but it might be a bit hard in wedding dresses.
Sapphic brides in big princes midevil wedding dresses with swords is yes.
As someone who always wanted to be a lady knight, this is exactly the content I subscribed for.
Rachel: "haha I'm Jareth :) "
Rachel : *tries to do the thingie with the glass ball*
my love for Rachel: *intensifies tenfold*
The PSA at the end was such a mood... I can't wait to be very specifically protected by my casual armour lol
Cät: *le scream* “möther! I dëmänd lövë!”
Möther: “excuse me?”
Cät: “LÖVË. MË. MÖTHER.”
Also: you watch glam&gore I love her!!!!

Rachel: "neck piece? Chonky necklace..."
Me(who has actual armor): You mean the gorget?
Also me: Rachel!! You should join the SCA!... not that we can do anything right now...
Totally the same feeling 😆
OMG OK what on earth is the SCA?!? Every once in a while this sketchy ass sign appears in my town that says SCA🔱➡️ and has like a trident. It’s hand drawn and so creepy but I wanna know what they’re pointing out to me 😂😂
@@katiehess1752 the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a medieval/renaissance period reenactment group with members all over the world. The sketchy trident sign is probably showing members where to go for events. It's tons of fun, and there's a ton of stuff to do. In my local group, I fence, shoot target archery, and work the siege engines. (Trebuchets are so much fun!!) I also do a lot of sewing and embroidery. That was actually what led me to start watching Rachel, Morgan Donner, and Bernadette Banner, in the first place. And my sewing abilities match Rachel's almost exactly. Next time that sign shows up (which probably won't be til February) follow it and see what you find!
Emily DeWitt huh how odd. Thank you for explaining!! I’m just so confused now because those signs always show up in a residential neighborhood where there isn’t room for anything like what you’re describing 😂 maybe someone hosts it in their backyard. Sounds cool either way! Thanks!
Peach Macabre haha my family and I have just been noticing it for years and wondering what it was. 🤣
the neck-armour piece is usually called a gorget!
“Editing Rachel”😂😂😂
I’m so into your themes lately. Thank you for being brave and tackling such unique ideas ♥️
I love the necklace one too. 🙂
The purring into the mic was also very much appreciated! 🐾❤🐾
This is so what I wanted to watch. 2020 is the perfect year to introduce "casual armor."
Clicking the notification while on a maksy binge is a great feeling :)
🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so right about the cool harness and armour like accessories, this makes me wanna go make stuff like this too!
Also please make a vest collection/how to style vests video!
(This has been on my mind for days)
"Why buy tomorrow what you can buuyy today?" ha ha Your existential question made me think of this.
This was a really cool video. We always talk about wearing whatever you want, but it can be hard to actually make it happen.
7:36 *starts to sing Magic dance 🖤
I love the video! Gonna try the shoulder one!
