History Creator / LewisLovhaug

* {{Keet}}: According to Creator/NoahAntwiler, Lewis has so much energy he insisted on filming their crossover right after doing ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' for eight hours straight.
-->'''Noah Antwiler:''' I was like "Were you not there when ''we invaded Molassia??''" Then he told me "Yeah, just get a nap in the car. You'll be fine."

** He admitted during Magfest 9 that the early chapters of Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}} were written when he was "young and opinionated", saying he'd even given up on editing them.

* PrecisionFStrike: [[invoked]]While Lovhaug is generally civil and by and large trys to avoid using harder kinds of profanity, Mike Michaud struck a particular chord by creating a "[[NeverMyFault response]]" to the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] controversy, to which Lovhaug [[https://twitter.com/linkara19/status/984291032115437568 ultimately responded by telling Michaud to "not fucking tell" him to be happy about being contractually obligated to be in the anniversary movies]].

* WeUsedToBeFriends:
** As with virtually all former members of Channel Awesome, Lovhaug doesn't have a high opinion on [[Creator/DougWalker the Walker Brothers]] (and, by extension, Creator/{{Brad Jones}} and his associates) after the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] controversy.
** In his playthroughs of ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', he's also admitted this has befallen his friendship with Creator/NoahAntwiler; while he refused to comment why, it's likely due to Antwiler's personal issues.

* AprilFoolsDay: Lewis has cited a penchant for not simply making gag videos for the occasion, but rather parodying some other type of work. This can be from parodying another creator, to emulating other genres altogether. This can produce some truly unexpected-for-the-occasion entries, such as 2022's ''WebVideo/WinterOf83'', a not-at-all comedic AnalogHorror series that certainly caught many off guard.

** When he was 13, he wrote a SelfInsertFic crossing over the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime, ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', and ''Anime/SailorMoon'', copying a story from a ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama. He actually brought that up to Bennett and had him make fun of it.

* AlterEgoActing: [[invoked]] Lovhaug has occasionally referred to "the Linkara character" in interviews and commentaries, but at the same time also calls him "[[AuthorAvatar basically me]] [[NoIndoorVoice with the volume turned way up]]".
* CantUnHearIt: [[invoked]] Due to the character having yet to be adapted into a mainstream medium that would give him a voice[[note]]he did appear in the tie-in motion comic for ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'' and the audiobook version of ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''[='=]s novelization[[/note]] the whiny, [[{{Wangst}} wangsty]] voice he uses for ComicBook/SuperboyPrime has become this for the character. Lovhaug himself stated he was unsure of how he felt about this status [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP3iY5bJ8ck&t=327s when asked and informed about it]] during one of his ''VideoGame/Hitman2016'' livestreams ''precisely'' due to its nature as a mocking parody.

** As evident by the fact that it's the page quote for UnderminedByReality, moving up a planned review of ''Gameboy'' #3 as a tribute to the then recently-deceased [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin Carmichal]] after learning during [=#ChangeTheChannel=] that Carmichal was a sexual predator. Much like [[WebVideo/MarzGurl Kaylyn Saucedo]] and ''Film/FarewellFamiKamenRider'', he left the video up, but disabled comments, demonetized it, and edited the description to note it no longer reflected his thoughts on Carmical.

* ''[[WebVideo/WinterOfEightyThree Winter of '83]]'': An AnalogHorror series released on April 1, 2022, which explores a mysterious mass disappearance in the town of Fawn's Circle, Minnesota.

* CantUnHearIt: [[invoked]] Due to the character having yet to be adapted into a medium that would give him a voice, the whiny, [[{{Wangst}} wangsty]] voice he uses for ComicBook/SuperboyPrime has become this for the character.

* OldShame:
** When he was 13, he wrote a SelfInsertFic crossing over the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime, ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', and ''Anime/SailorMoon'', copying a story from a ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama. He actually brought that up to Bennett and had him make fun of it.
** There are his [[http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/angel-armor-yesterday/3637596 self-published novels]], which, while not nearly as bad as above examples, still show that Linkara has come far as a writer since he wrote them (on the bright side, they contain what may well be the origin of his nickname).
** He admitted during Magfest 9 that the early chapters of Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}} were written when he was "young and opinionated", saying he'd even given up on editing them.

He is married to Viga Gadson of both ''WebVideo/VigaLovesComics'' and ''WebVideo/IdolsOfAnime'' fame.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: [[invoked]]After he moved into an apartment with WebVideo/IronLiz, so did Linkara. Likewise, after he and Gadson moved into a house, the apartment was written out, using realistic outcomes as the reason InUniverse (namely, Linkara's rent getting hiked up after the neighboring tenants complained about the battles). The second movie Lewis and Viga did was also written in (InUniverse, the result of Linkara testing out a security measure resulted in blowing up the old house -- and damaging Linkara's reputation so much that the new house is in Viga's name).

* GoshDangItToHeck: Downplayed; Lovhaug will use words like "hell", "damn", "bitch", and "ass", but pointedly avoids words like "fuck", "shit", and certain other heavy curse words. On instances where he has to read dialogue that use those words, he bleeps himself. Lovhaug has said that he does this primarily since he feels that the reviews are generally better off without the swearing anyway and it also makes them come across as (somewhat) more professional by consequence.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: He's said he has no interest is this, even back when he was a kid. That said, Website/ScrewAttack [[https://youtu.be/QGPPpAcaL4k?t=348 did once contact him]] to voice Franchise/{{Superman}} in the Superman vs. [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]] episode of ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', but he couldn't as he was busy at the moment [[WhatCouldHaveBeen and has since expressed regret that he didn't make time to do it]].

* ''Late Night Double Feature'': A series started in late-2020 in which he briefly reviews two different horror movies which share a similar theme, before comparing the two.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: While he didn't care for the ''Power/Rangers'' fan film, he admitted to laughing his ass off at the Hip-Hopkaido scene.

* TemptingFate: Preparing for his review of ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'', Lewis posted on Website/{{Twitter}} a question about [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/1283357418764804098 a man in a weird helmet]] -- [[https://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/1283362111629000705only only to be utterly surprised to learn it was]] UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton.
