History Trivia / TwelveForever

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Netflix kept moving the release date for the series around, and, according to Shadi Petosky, Netflix execs wanted it to be on-par or bigger than ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''. What ultimately killed it was the animation studio going under before the series released, and Julia Vickerman, the series creator, mistreating the crew, and several creepy Tumblr posts with pederasty overtones made by Vickerman were found online, meaning no other studio wanted to touch the show with a ten-foot pole, and so Netflix canceled it quietly.

* CrossdressingVoices: Actor Matt Berry voices the female Butt Witch.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The show just had one bad luck streak after another: Netflix delayed the show's release after its completion, delayed it another month after having given it a set release date, and it also saw [[InvisibleAdvertising minimal advertising]]. If that wasn't bad enough, the original studio that made it went under and, after its first season, despite getting good reception, it wasn't enough to justify continuing the series at a new studio since it needed to be a hit akin to ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', according to Shadi Petosky.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The English version of ''Twelve Forever'''s pilot was removed from Cartoon Network's [=YouTube=] channel following the discovery of Julia Vickerman's old edgy troll posts on Tumblr, meaning anyone who wanted to watch it would have to go scrounge around for an illegal reupload.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Creator Julia Vickerman was fired from the show during its production due to her mistreating her co-workers. She was replaced as showrunner by Shadi Petosky (''WesternAnimation/DangerAndEggs''), although Vickerman is still credited as executive producer for much of the series' run. Vickerman continued to promote it on her social media until a long history of creepy social media posts she had made (including one story on her now-deleted Tumblr about her stalking a fourteen-year-old emo boy) dating back to 2010 came to light, at which point her online presence went quiet and she blocked anyone who brought the scandal up. She eventually made a public apology, claiming she was [[JustJokingJustification only joking]]with her Tumblr posts.

** Creator Julia Vickerman is also known for being a writer/storyboard artist on ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' and ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'', as well as helping with the animated opening and comic book effects for the movie ''Film/{{Super}}''. More infamously, however, Vickerman was also involved on ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'', particularly the infamous Painbow episode.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The English version of ''Twelve Forever'''s pilot was removed from Cartoon Network's [=YouTube=] channel following the discovery of Julia Vickerman's pedophilic posts, meaning anyone who wanted to watch it would have to go scrounge around for an illegal reupload.
* OldShame: After Julia Vickerman's pedophilic posts were discovered, Cartoon Network took down the series pilot from their Website/YouTube channel. Strangely, the Latin Spanish dub is still available on its respective CN channel on the same website.
* QuietlyCancelled: The series premiered on Creator/{{Netflix}} with little fanfare in July 2019, with the news that its animation studio had already closed down before the premiere and the season ending with AndTheAdventureContinues. Two months later, showrunner Shadi Petosky announced on Twitter that the series would not continue because it didn't become a huge hit that justified moving to another studio; also, the revelation that series creator Julia Vickerman had been fired for mistreating the series crew and was exposed as having written social media posts with pedophilic tones for years ultimately soiled its reputation so no studio would touch it with a 10-foot pole. Netflix did not comment on the ultimate fate of the series, but Petosky implied they were not to blame.
