Im so very confused at the amount of King George x Reader Fics , though I haven't done any deep diving to find King George x Queen Charlotte fics, its almost weird that its not the first thing that comes up when I searcf up QC in tumblr, to this day I have yet to see a single King George x Queen Charlotte fics and I am utterly confused as to why, when they have one of the most beautiful portrayals of love I have ever seen on in any netflix show,

I don;t know but I feel like it's because Charlotte is Black, I could be completely wrong but this is what it feels like and if you have come across any good fanfics with these two as the pairing can you please recommend them? I'd love to read some

Nothing on this app confuses me anymore. Your instincts aren’t wrong, we all know why there aren’t many King George x Queen Charlotte fics. It really doesn’t surprise me at all. They can’t even write a a simple reader insert properly without some kind of white!coding thrown in there, you think they’ll be able to write Queen Charlotte?? Of course not. They don’t even try to use a mix of gifs/pics of her for their “aesthetics” for the reader but they will surely use only non-POC women.

Unfortunately I haven’t come across any good George x Charlotte fics. But when I do, I’ll make a recommendation link for them. Until then I’ll just continue reading the Queen Charlotte book, which I highly recommend. It’s written by Bridgerton author, Julia Quinn, and also Shonda Rhimes. The book is 98% word for word of the show but it’s much deeper.

Sandcastle AU

Basically an AU where Gold survived being sucked into a corrupted minecraft but ended up with amnesia and as a glitch (similar to Vanellope from wreck it ralph) and becomes a King.

The AU name stems from the title of a drabble I wrote and because for some reason I imagined Gold being the King of a sandcastle castle lol.

Due to amnesia Gold doesn't remember their life before minecraft, so, they never try to leave minecraft or make an attempt to return to KO/MT. And because of being glitchy, Gold can basically cheat by going through blocks or glitching the items into multiplying. Also, any commands from the command block staff is useless on Gold because of the instability in the code.

Originally I didn't want to turn that one "what if Gold actually survived without MT/KO knowing" theory into an AU but after thinking about the Queen Cherry AU, I realised, why not? Why not make Gold a royal as well?

So, I imagined Sandcastle Gold and Queen Cherry Gold to meeting, and it would go like this:

S!Gold: Whooaaahh! You are me from a different universe? That's cool!

QC!Gold: Thanks! It's so awesome to meet another me! Why are you glitching though? =O

S!Gold: I don't know. I'm just like that.

QC!Gold: I see, well that makes you unique! Anyway, have you found our dad yet?

S!Gold:...

S!Gold: We have a dad?

I don't think I want to post these anywhere else. Why? Because Tumblr is the only place (I know of) that my irl's don't follow me on. They can't know I fw Transformers /j Anyways here's a human oc concept, along with a Transformer oc concept (kind of). Here is a transcription, as I didn't account for the fact that my handwriting might be too small lol

First Image: Riley 'Star-Boy' Jones, He/She/They, 18 yrs Old - An accidental ally to Autobot Scout Veteran, Quickcircut [Earth Alias Comet, a code name for Riley specifically] - Riley is a government wanted thief, using their artist background to plan out these elaborate heists. - The main reason for these thievings, is as an act of vengeance after a freak accident involving their sibling. [Author's note: Most of what she steals are items involved in the experiments his sibling volunteered in] Now, she steals Cybertronian tech, in hopes of helping her new friend, and hopes to at least save someone this time - Riley had a dream of creating a comic with their sibling, which is why they are artistically gifted and an outside box thinker. She's also a tinkerer, his biggest project being his hidden rollerblades, allowing for quick exits.

Night time panel, Riley is resting on top of Quickcircut in her vehicular form: Riley: If you can't tell me your name... Can I give you a name? Please? QC: ... Only if I can give you a name, human Riley: Yes! Now, what one? There's so many... Hmm... How about... Comet! QC: If I can call you 'Star-Boy' then it's a deal

Sketch Panel, Riley is leaning up against QC as she draws: Riley: How close am I? QC: Star, I get you're trying to cheer me up- Riley: I know, I know! But I told you I could draw. I didn't say I could draw 'Robotic Organisms' as you say

I'm excited to work on this, and of course my inbox is open if peeps have questions

Most shift of my life just happened. What if. Literally day one. You were told you will never ever get a positive shiga. Don’t even worry about the procedure because it will never happen. And tonight. After your supervisor went home. It happen. And you text him to ask what to do and he says idk look at the procedure. Procedure says call the health department IMMEDIATELY. this is not a 2 day notice or 24 hour notice this is IMMEDIATE as soon as you see it call. You have never called the health department before. You ask your supervisor if they need anything special (you are thinking some code your lab is registered or accredited under nationally that you do not know) he says. Idk check the clipboard that’s taped to the back of the micro hood. You spend ten minutes scrounging around the micro department for a clipboard anywhere (nowhere) on the back of a hood (all empty). This is because when you find it it’s a red binder in a book shelf. TASK PREREQUISITES NOW COMPLETE!

You call the number listed for the health department. Get sent to voicemail. You legally cannot leave a voicemail and HAVE to speak to a real live person to report this kind of bacteria. For After Hours Immediate Sensitivity Reporting Press Zero. Press zero. Robot says. Goodbye. Immediately hangs up on me. Get really confused. Call again. Robot voice. Goodbye. Really scrutinize the health department infographic. Find a different (after hours specific!) number. Call. No dial tone at ALL. no voicemail explaining everything. Just. Robot voice. Goodbye. Find ANOTHER number that by the looks of the call log is what people usually get in touch with. Whew. For After Hours Immediate Sensitivity Reporting Press Zero. 0? Goodbye. Google Redacted Health Departmnet. Call the office number. Finalyyyyyyyyyyy get an extension that works that is listed absolutely nowhere in any work documents. Guy I talk to says oh huh that shouldn’t happen. Didn’t know it was happening. I’ll have to call IT to look into this. Doesn’t matter to me! TASK 1/2 COMPLETE!

Now I have to call the doctor. Thank god we have a phone number for him! On a soreadsheet even! Hello. You’ve reached our office out of hours. FUCK! To speak with the on call for DOCTOR SO AND SO call X. Okay fine. Call X. Hi I’m calling about doctor so and so’s patient and oh my god I’m so sorry I need to put you on hold because the health department is on the other line. Get health departmnet shit straightened out. Get back on the line. The most annoyed woman you’ve ever spoken to answers. I’m the on call doctor. Great thanks sorry for the hold I’m calling about doctor so and so’s patient. Well he’s not in our office anymore. Ummm. Okay. I called his office which gave me the call center number which forwarded me to you. So. Most annoyed sigh in the world. I’ll take the result but here’s his cell phone number don’t call me again. OK! TASK DONE! Except. Since i had to call the health department about it I have to call them again to let them know that I have not actually spoken to the actual doctor. I have a whack ass slide review and whack ass UA and failed QC I need to troubleshoot and an Hbsag confirmation panel I need to set up by hand all waiting for me to get done with this fucking emergancy btw. And it’s 10pm which is when I usually shut down for the night to be done by 11pm when I’m off. AND JUST WHEN you THINK ITS ALL OVER. Peach still down

SQUID INDUSTRIES NAUTILUS: AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW

This is what is hopefully the start of various different balisong reviews that I get my hands on as I progress through the hobby of balisong flipping. While my preferences won't speak for the balisong community at large, I hope to be as objective as I can while still offering my thoughts and opinions where they're appropriate.

Tonight's review will be on the balisong pictured above: the Squid Industries Nautilus. Without further ado, let's jump into it.

TL;DR: The Good: Light, grippy, and flowy flipper that provides a unique experience few other balisongs can replicate. Has a lifetime warranty where Squid will fix any repairs or QC issues. The Bad: How it flips is not for everyone. Plagued with QC issues which shouldn't happen at its price—buying one new is a gamble, and Squid isn't perfect with warranty repairs. (Fair warning: there is a lot of jargon that can sound like word soup to anyone who doesn't flip. I'll try to explain it as best as I can and make another post detailing what everything means)

UNBOXING AND GENERAL INFO:

The Nautilus has a fairly standard unboxing experience. It comes in a simple but nice drawer-style box inside of a cloth pouch, and with it comes a set of replacement hardware (not pictured), a paper card with QR codes that lead to flipping tutorials and tuning guides, and a sticker. Simple and nothing amazing, but well-executed. As for the price, it isn't exactly cheap. The retail price of the Nautilus varies depending on what versions you go for. On Squid's site, the base Nautilus goes for $230 USD, and it only gets more expensive from there. The Winter Nautilus with white G10 scales is priced at $245 USD. The Inked Nautilus, which has a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the blade, retails for $255 USD, while the Carbon Fiber Nautilus, which ditches G10 scales in favor of carbon fiber, retails for $295 USD.

Like all other Squid Industries balisongs, the Nautilus comes with a lifetime warranty—for something as minor as routine maintenance to something as major as bad quality control, it can be sent to Squid to fix whatever might be wrong with it. For the first 30 days, all the owner has to pay is for parts, and after that the owner has to pay for shipping and parts (although the latter might not apply in the case of QC issues).

DESIGN AND SPECS: Originally released on June 4, 2019, the Nautilus was released alongside the Krake Raken or Kraken, which I'll be using as a point of comparison for this design. Less experienced flippers often ask which of the two is "better", which is understandable given their similar prices, with the Kraken trainer starting at $215 USD, the Nautilus starting at $230 USD, and the Kraken live blade starting at $250 USD. However, as someone who owns both and flips both on a regular basis, they simply cannot be compared because of how different they are. The only thing the two have in common is the use of channel construction handles with 7075 aluminum as the handle material. Here are some photos with the two side-by-side: Below: Nautilus (black) and Kraken (purple)

The Kraken is overall beefier with full aluminum handles and a thicker everything, lending it to weigh a normal 4.2 oz. Everything on the Nautilus is smaller and thinner, from the the use of G10 laminate scales for grip to the small size of the channel to the thickness of the handles and blade, lending it to be much lighter at 3.6 oz. These design choices make for a unique flipping experience that I'll expand on later.

TUNING AND QUALITY CONTROL: This is going to be a doozy for a multitude of reasons, and things might get confusing, but I'll try my best to explain everything: The Nautilus runs on a bushing pivot system, which means that as long as the bushings aren't smaller than the blade, the pivot screws can be fully cranked down without them locking up. On top of this, when bushings are tuned correctly, tap (where the blade is touching the inside of the handles), blade rub, and handle play (side-to-side slop) can be fully eliminated for a solid and premium feeling flipping experience. On paper. The reality is that the inherent design of the Nautilus is a huge double-edged sword. Remember how I mentioned that everything on the Nautilus is pretty thin and small? That leaves a whole lot less room for error when tuning. Its use of G10 doesn't help much, either, as the scales have to be aligned as close to perfect as possible in order to have a good tune. Squid Industries has taken a bit of a dip in quality control as of late, but the Nautilus has always been their biggest sore spot for QC because of its design, which many can attest to. Juice Tin, who I talked to on a somewhat regular basis, has had a QC nightmare—their Nautilus had blade rub out of the box alongside G10 scales that were unfinished at best and outright deformed at worst, and tap persisted even after changing the scales and sending it in for warranty (both of our Nauts also happened to be QC'd by the same person, and I had issues as well). Yet another victim of the Naut's bad QC was CamaroEE, who held the Nautilus as one of his dream trainers at the time but was plagued with tap and blade rub that Squid couldn't fix when it was sent to them for warranty repairs, leading him to ultimately sell it and call it "the grayest balisong" in his review for it. I have also had QC issues on my end, albeit to not as much of an extent as others did. My Nautilus came straight out of the box with tap and blade rub, and it took an involved teardown and retuning that lasted over 2 hours to get the issue fixed. As of the time of writing this review, the tap is gone, and while it has a bit more play than I'm normally comfortable with, it's a lot better than before. Here's the thing: I love fixing and working on my own stuff, and I had no problems with fixing the issues my Nautilus had out of the box. The problem lies within the facts that: - I had to do it at all - I expected and prepared for it - I had heard about it from at least half the people I talked to who already owned one These would be at least somewhat excusable if the Nautilus was cheap, but with a starting price tag of $230 USD, I am giving Squid far less leeway here. Someone without the know-how, finally happy they have the money to buy something nice, could very easily buy this without doing the proper research, only to get slapped in the face with issues that many balisongs half its price don't have.

But because I'm no Negative Nancy, enough about my QC tirade. Because it flips very good. FLIPPING:

God damn, this is a fun flipper. The Nautilus has a heavy handle bias, meaning that if you were to balance it on your finger, the point of balance would be about halfway down the handles. Remember how I mentioned that it weighs 3.6 oz? For anyone not familiar with balisong flipping, that is absurdly light for a metal balisong since most balisongs on the market range from 4–4.5 oz, and it shows in how it behaves. The light weight and handle bias make for an almost floaty experience that's difficult to put into words. Rollovers and chaplins are very smooth and take no effort at all. The handle bias means that fans aren't nearly as good as it could be, but the balisong can absolutely still fan—choker fans and Z-chokers are easy to land, and ladders take much less finger strength than on most other balisongs. To top it all off, the G10 scales provide an absurd amount of grip, and I've yet to have it slip out of my hands during flipping. This sort of flipping experience tells me that the Nautilus was built with uncompromising pedal-to-the-medal flipping in mind, and with the people out there who flip the absolute balls off of it, I can't be completely wrong. With nearly everything being so effortless and smooth on the Nautilus, could it be the best flipper in its price range? Well, no. This hobby's so damn subjective that there really is no "best" balisong. The Nautilus has certain things about it that people could very easily dislike, the biggest of which is, funnily enough, the weight. As a small person with grubby little raccoon hands, the light weight and thin handles are perfect for me, but there are people out there who prefer heavier balisongs—one person I've talked to even likened it to a toy with how unsubstantial it felt in the hand for them. The other point of divide is the use of G10. The thing about G10 is that even when it's well-finished, it has a very chalky feel to it that most people don't like if it isn't given some oil (mink oil works great). Many times it can even feel a bit cheap even though it's quite the opposite, both to buy and to work with. Not to mention the balance; the handle bias on it is very noticeable, and there are plenty of people who don't like that much handle bias—hell, if it were heavier, I wouldn't have liked it as much. So, because of that, while it is my favorite balisong in my collection, it isn't a balisong that's as universally liked as much as something like a Kraken is. FINAL THOUGHTS: To close off, while plagued with hit-or-miss QC, the Squid Industries Nautilus is a light, flowy balisong trainer that offers a fun flipping experience that few other balisongs can offer. I want to recommend this balisong so badly because of how much fun I've had flipping it, but because Squid doesn't know how to QC them, I just can't unless you're not one to really care about tolerances. However, I do think you should at least give it a try because it is genuinely one of the most unique flipping experiences out here. If you're interested in buying a Nautilus, it can be found here.

Also I believe the Hanamura siblings are called 'Gemini' Masa is Ecitsuj and the parents of QC members are "Their Child's code + Senior." So Harumi for example is called "Star Senior" Keiko would be "Fool Senior." And for the Future Kids, if they ever do a mission it will be "Parent's Codename + Junior." So Sayuri would be "Death Junior."

//Ah right, thank you, I forgot about those details : P

Ooooo tell us a weird story from your night shifts at the hospital, please!!!

Of course! Y'all might wanna buckle up because this one is WILD. Hiding under a cut for mention of medical procedures and a runaway patient.

For background, I am a medical laboratory scientist (or medical technologist, every hospital uses different terminology), I work in the hospital laboratory testing blood and other various specimens to help the doctors diagnose you and determine your care plan.

I worked at a Children's hospital in a state capital for a year and a half, and I mostly worked evening shift, but I used to pick up overtime shifts to help out night shift because they were understaffed. Now, there were some tests that were only performed on certain shifts because it didn't make sense to train shifts with less staff for something that couldn't be considered STAT. This is a common practice in every medical lab, it's a way to save reagents, maintain efficiency, and make sure every patient gets the possible best care.

One night when I was staying over to help out night shift, the ER ordered an Epstein Barr virus (aka Mono) rapid test. The cut off for this test was 11pm because special chemistry did not operate after 11pm, BUT I was trained in special chemistry and could run the test. I normally would have left it for day shift, but the ER doc called asking if there was any way we could run it because they wanted to rule out Mono on this teenager before they did a spinal tap. My co worker that took the call sold me out and said I could run it, and I couldn't say no at this point because I really did want to save this poor kid from getting a spinal tap from Resident Scissorhands in the ER. Seriously, the residents that did spinal taps butchered them so bad. ANYWAY...

I had to do quality control on the kit because it was a brand new lot number, which made it take longer, but I did it. The test was negative, and I called the doc to let him know and he told me they were still gonna do a spinal tap on this kid because they couldn't figure out the fever of unknown origin.

I shit y'all not, 10 minutes after I hung up the phone, the security guards called a Code Pink. Now, a Code Pink is the code for a missing kid, and this was a Children's hospital, so we got those alot. Usually it was a wayward toddler that wandered out of the parent's sight, but NOT THIS TIME. The teenager in question was not having getting a spinal tap, so they fucking RAN OFF. Straight up deuced it. I don't blame them at all, I wouldn't want a resident shoving a needle in my spine either.

All of us figured it was the kid that they were trying to do a spinal tap on, so we were all invested at this point. They eventually found the kid hiding in the parking lot at the Subway restaurant we had on campus, and I don't know what happened after that, but hoo boy that was a wild night.

When I came in for my regular shift the next day, my supervisor tried to chastise me for doing a Mono Spot (that's what we called the test) after hours, but I legit laughed in his face and said "well, day shift is probably grateful for the free QC".

I still think about that kid to THIS DAY.

Last night I got high and wrote a program to find all of the unused elemental symbols. It turns out there’s 585 of them and it’s much less interesting the next day.

One interesting finding: I couldn’t be bothered to generate all possible one and two letter strings, so I asked ChatGPT to write me code that would do all that for me. It worked surprisingly well!

[viscountessevie]

queen charlotte’s first meeting scene is as rip off from magnificent century kösem. i hope this will become bigger news when show starts

https://twitter.com/aofaglover/status/1573758456737124352?s=46&t=Cj8-wxU3Iw5Sa0s-i59iAw

Just wanna put this disclaimer out before anyone starts reading under the cut: Despite this ask & post and my own feelings about the show, it has been really heartwarming to see BIPOC fans delight in this show and my fandom friends gushing to me about this :D That is something no one can take away from them and I'm very glad they enjoyed it!

[This is also my first and last post on QC so my overall thoughts on the show and everything surrounding it will be there at the end!]

Hello again yall!! I actually started writing this a month ago when I was in Bali with my fam but could never find a good pic comparing George and Julian lmaooo so I gave up on it for a while. Also I've been hella busy at work but I'm back for a bit!

Heya anon! I'm not sure if I blogged about it but the moment the first teaser of their meet cute dropped, every one who has seen Turkish drama kicked up a fuss on Twitter. As they should!!

This is the original clip in question:

Alot of people did talk about it at the time - especially on Twitter and Reddit and I know a few of my mutuals on here talked about it briefly.

The ripping off was not a great start to the QC promo on top of "Love cures racism". All my friends have given their input on the "realistic" aspect of the show, I agree with their points and don't have much to add on tbh so I'll link the posts here:

Tbh yall can just go through Triv’s QC tag

Honorable Post Mentions: 

On top of this rip off meet cute; I picked this ask cos ever since the first few promo stills dropped my friends and I - particularly Zaira, Triv and Belle - noticed another rip off from our childhoods.

Can yall guess what it is?

Yall he's SO Julian coded please - I love him (this is me saying before the show aired and I won't be watching but the vibes are thereee)

Then the video of QC and LD came out recently (a month ago when I wrote this reply hahah):

Down to the dresses, it's giving:

Shoutout to @hptriviachamp for pointing it out lmao

Sidebar: while I'm not interested in QC's premise, I do love how well India and Arsema are playing their chars (from what I've seen so far) and I WOULD LOVE to see a version of Barbie's Princess and Pauper with these two!! Speaking of them, look at their chemistry in this pic!!

Also me seeing the end of the vid:

All in all to say the Kosem copying was bad and it should be called out but the Barbie references are all in good fun!

Since this is the main ask I've gotten about the show, I'm also going to put my main thoughts here and I don't think I'll be answering any follow up asks because every take has kind of been said and done. I really don't have much to add on since I'm not ever going to watch the show either.

Outside of the show, I adoree that India and Arsema are getting their flowers and the couple is being promoted how they should be! It's all well deserved. A small part of me does feel sad because if this is the PR team going all out, where was all this fanfare for S2, Jimone and Kathony?

However, based on what I've been told:

- I'm glad the chemistry between QC and George was good and everyone enjoyed their romance

- Who on the team hates LD?? Because COME ON martial rape AND giving her a not-hot older man IN VIOLET'S DAD OF ALL PEOPLE?? They did her so dirty. Idc if Lord Ledger gave her the first orgasm of her life, I see that man and no thank you. My girl deserved someone as hot as Adolphus!

- These two things is a HUGE reason why I can't watch the show cos of my triggers: I hate hate how gratuitous they were with the torture porn - both with LD's scenes with her husband (FOURRRR MARTIAL RAPE SCENES THAT'S LAUGHED OFF AS A GAG???) and George getting waterboarded for his mental illness. As someone who experienced SA and has a mental illness, these are very sore subjects for me so no thank you QC, but I will not be tuning in.

Anyway to close this out, congrats to the cast for doing a great job and whoever enjoyed the show, I'm glad you did! Those who read this and agree with me, just know you aren't alone in your critiques of the show. As long as you're being respectful and mindful of the language used, your criticism and enjoyment of the show are both valid!
