CHARLES is a Minecraft YouTuber, most notable for Lovely World Season 2, an unofficial continuation of its original series.
==History ==
CHARLES started off doing Stampy's Lovely World parodies, one of which, "Hit the Target DIES - A Stampy Parody" gained over 15K views,Hit the Target DIES - A Stampy Parody - CHARLES on YouTube via Wayback Machine (age-restricted) before being privated on YouTube along most of his other parodies, as Charles felt the stuff he said back than was 'not acceptable'.CHARLES on Discord (image form) He now regrets posting them.Minecraft Live - from 1795 seconds Later, he started doing news content about Stampy's Lovely World and the Stampylonghead channel, which he was doing right up to the original series' finale.
On 16th October 2023, Charles confirmed the CHARLES Channel was now in the YouTube partner program.CHARLES on Discord (image form)
On 21st October, the same day as the first season's final, CHARLES premiered the first episode of Lovely World Season 2, which he had been planning since at least June of that year, when he had asked Stampy (creator of Season 1) for permission to continue his series. CHARLES has said that releasing the video straight after the finale was the right thing to do.
His subscriber count increased from an estimated 1,580 on the day of the debut episode of Season 2's release, to 10,500 the following week, with an additional 1,000 people subscribing over the next fortnight.Social Blade - CHARLES' Statistics (monthly) archive - see Total Subscribers & Video Views Gained for CHARLES (Weekly) After the first few episodes of season 2 had aired, Charles got into controversy because he promoted the series as an 'official' continuation, and continued using Stampy's original characters in his series. Because of a few requests Stampy made, CHARLES stopped marketing his series as official and phased out some aspects of his series to pander to Stampy's wishes. These changes included removing the 'Lovely World' watermark (from episode 827, Giant Zombie) from episode thumbnails, changing the music featured in all episodes introductions to a track made by Kodek (also from episode 827) and introducing new characters: Molly Mole and Dylan Duck (episode 831, Remembering).
On 24th October, the debut episode of Quest, a series hosted with WolfCommunity which was also inspired by one of Stampy's series was released. A Sad Start was the only episode of Quest released before its official cancellation in January 2024. 
On 15th December, Charles celebrated his channel's one year anniversary by uploading a video titled, One Year of Charles. This video was a montage of the many videos posted on the CHARLES channel in its first year of operation.
=== Channel Termination===
On December 27, 2023, at approximately 3:00 pm, the CHARLES channel was terminated, similar to Stampy's channel which was suspended for a short time in 2013. Fortunately, Charles was able to reach out to the YouTube team,CHARLES on Twitter/X and his channel was reinstated by the end of the day. After the channel was back-up on YouTube, Charles started recording his New Year Special, which may have been put-off a little bit due to the termination.CHARLES on Discord (image form) The following day, Charles created a four-minute video titled "Channel Update - What Happened to Charles..." to explain the events that occurred.Channel Update - What happened to Charles... on YouTube
===New series===
On 12th January 2024, CHARLES made a post on Discord saying he wanted to do other things alongside Lovely World Season 2, such as continuing Quest (which was a few days later officially cancelled indefinitely) and start a playthrough of Terraria, but struggled to find time mainly because of school. He also said he wanted to see the Lovely World series achieve a 1000th episode.CHARLES on Discord (image form) On 25th May, CHARLES released the first video of him and Amazing Ben 07 playing a Minecraft Toy Story 2 adventure map. The next day, Charles made a Discord post saying that he and Tyler had been thinking about reviving Quest,CHARLES on Discord () which happened three days later in the form of the series Quest Revived, with the additions of hosts Parkey and Ben, however that too was soon put on hiatus due to controversy with WolfCommunity.

The Yap Sesh channel was created on 9th May 2024. Its podcast follows CHARLES along with his friends talking about Minecraft topics and life in general.CHARLES - Community Post on YouTube
In its first episode numerous topics were discussed and storylines for future videos were announced; CHARLES said there would eventually be episodes explaining backstories for the helpers in Lovely World Season 2, he also explained how unfortunately on Discord people were targeting him personally because of his YouTube profile picture change and how the cancellation of Lost Legacy, described in other videos as Lovely World Season 2’s ‘sister series’ would affect his series. Additionally, it was explained by the hosts the history of CHARLES’ Minecraft skin and why the glasses from it were removed from Sandstone and a Chat. They also talked about the possible switch to Java edition for Lovely World Season 2 (which eventually happened in Our Lovely World) and more.
