Loreweaver Universe (aka William French) is a blind (unspoiled) liveblogger on Tumblr who grew popular through his humorous liveblogs of episodes of the cartoon Steven Universe. He's known for a sarcastic style of humor mixed with intelligent analyses and breaking down into incoherency in proximity to his favorite characters.Before he began liveblogging, Loreweaver had YouTube and Twitch channels (the YouTube one is here and Twitch here) where he played many video games, including Minecraft (which he's not proud of). He streams games as a part of his Patreon reward tiers.On April 2020, Lore completed liveblogging Steven Universe. He has also watched and finished the show Over the Garden Wall, has started (but put a hold on) Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and is currently watching She-Ra: Princess of Power, A Place Further than the Universe, and Paranoia Agent.His blog is here. His Patreon can be found here. Also, in September 2016, he restarted a Website/YouTube channel, this time under his own name.

comment
Genre Savvy: Lore's very experienced with common tropes and is sometimes able to predict plot twists and character arcs (see I Knew It!). One of the reasons he likes Connie so much is that she defies all the typical Love Interest tropes and is an effective protagonist in her own right.

"No. Just… No" Reaction: He actually nopes out of "The New Lars" mid-liveblog in sheer horror, for reasons mentioned below, and posts a video of a corgi and some frogs for a while instead:

Noodle Incident: "The pineapple thing," which apparently resulted in Pearl having to revise the programming of her training holograms. Lore once offhandedly mentioned an incident in which his mother accidentally poisoned him. He appears unwilling to elaborate further.

Logical Weakness
 Loreweaver Universe (Blog) / int_83641c73
comment
Logical Weakness: In the first episode, Lore points out that the Centipeetle would be fried by the damaged Cookie Cat fridge, as the Gems are inorganic and silicon is likely what their bodies are made out of. Silicon is an excellent conductor of electricity. He then subverts it by pointing out that Gem bodies would still need to be unnaturally conductive to sustain a shock for anywhere near that long.

Rapid-Fire "No!"
 Loreweaver Universe (Blog) / int_a31b47ae
comment
Rapid-Fire "No!": Almost 90% of Lore's commentary on "The New Lars" is composed of these. Lore's well-known hatred of Cringe Comedy and his concerns about the nature of Steven's astral projection powers overriding the minds of his targets in "Super Watermelon Island" makes this reaction totally justified.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Lore begins Serious Steven annoyed that the episode has a brief, no-context-given sequence of the Gems at Funland before cutting to two weeks later. He's even more annoyed when the episode cuts back to that sequence with more context, leaving Steven in a cliffhanger.

And Show It to You
 Loreweaver Universe (Blog) / int_b807624a
comment
Along similar lines, Jasper often gets rewritten as a judgey fashionista who goes after the other characters up for their poor style choices, or her dialogue is shifted to a much more PG-13 version of And Show It to You than the show is allowed to portray. Sometimes both at once.

Shout-Out
 Loreweaver Universe (Blog) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: When Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven reach the top of the mountain with the Beetle of Heaven, Lore wonders if they're there to fight BNK-3R. Lore points out that Steven's choice of hourglass in Steven and the Stevens echoes the choice of Grails in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. When a finishing blow is landed, Lore will sometimes comment, "F A T A L I T Y" During the Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs from Ocean Gem and Garnet's Universe, Lore references JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In Island Adventure, Lore compares Steven to Yajirobe. The next episode, Keep Beach City Weird, also delivers a shout-out during the Stevenball game. In Watermelon Steven: He notes that the floating islands from Rose's Scabbard look distinctly Zendikar-esque.
