Concise (uh, maybe not) explanation of the mischief productions scandal (?) about the AI script of their next short called The Prank:

The person that had most power in the mischief productions (that has now disappeared from the internet) lied to everyone on the cast and crew and said they wrote the script for The Prank when in reality they used AI (they confessed this to the cast when they were confronted about it) to write a big part of it

no one else in the cast and crew knew about this, and they went to film the short film not knowing about it, they went there using their own money and also some of them even put funds from their own money to make this short film happen like buying things for the set and all that's needed for the background of the scenes and costumes etc—they didn't make money from it

Anyway, during the filming they started to notice that the script was weird, and it felt like there were inconsistencies in it and two of the people involved started to question if it was AI so they put it in one of the sites to check and also to check for scripts that were “humanized” after they were made from the AI site... so if you have the script you can check yourself ( someone did it ! )

After discovering this, the whole cast and crew was pissed off about it and shocked because they don't like AI (and it also could fuck up their careers as actors because there's stuff like the writer's guild that obviously doesn't like that) and they went to confront this person that ADMITTED to their face that they used AI so they all quit and tried to make them give up the social media of the production to one of them to make things right, but this person removed them instead and is now currently radio silence and even eliminated their account from the internet, and they are the only one that should refund people and also do the right thing and give the socials back

Anyway the cast and crew and also Ethan quit as soon as they found out, and they all decided that they would talk about the best way to tell the fans what happened and be completely honest, but they wanted a bit of time to see what they could do also legally

Unfortunately, one of the mods in Ethan's stream that was in a private discord chat where Ethan privately shared the news that AI was used and that he quit etc. thought that Ethan meant to keep this private from the fans and It (the pronoun of this person) decided to make a video on TikTok about it and a thread on Twitter talking about how Ethan and the mischief productions were problematic and basically leaking the whole thing

...misunderstanding, in my opinion, what was happening, but I must say this person did it from good intentions (even if a bit biased because It doesn't like Ethan personally) because obviously it wanted to protect the other fans from donating money to something that they weren't aware it was AI generated, so I don't think it should receive hate, just leave it alone!

Anyway after this all leaked all the creators went online on a live and explained all of this and Ethan also is trying to explain on live even right now

My personal opinion is that it's just that one person (and I know who they are, but I'm not saying it because the cast and crew asked to avoid hate campaigns and speculation, rightly so) fucked up the whole thing for all of them because they were insecure about their ability but also wanted to have their ego stroked for that film

In general the footage filmed for the prank is with the crew and cast and will be edited and posted, and they rewrote the final scene all from their minds and also changed stuff while they filmed, and also they said they wanted to post it even if part of the script is AI because the acting is real work from them and also the sets and costumes and direction which is a big part of the film, and they don't want it to completely go to waste

They are trying to recover the social media but at the moment both the money made from it (the ko-fi) and the accounts are only in the hands of the person that fucked it all up, and this person is not responding to anybody

ALSO all the other videos before this were NOT AI generated at all and were written by Dorian which is also the director with Rafa, and they didn't know about any of what the other person did for The Prank

idk I got involved because I loved the production and was following it all, and I also think their acting and direction etc is amazing for it being a fan production and I hope they can just fix things with that person and this person refunds the money to who paid for the script without knowing it was AI

Annnndd that's it, in conclusion maybe I need to get a life, but I hope this is helpful 🌈

Inspired by something that p4perback just said, that Sirius definitely said to Remus:

“Just because I’m conventionally attractive you think I need to be over 6 feet? I’m 5’9 , how else do you think I got this personality?? It’s concentrated bitch”

[noirsnonsense]

"let's be morticia and gomez" "no let's be damon and elena" fuck off i wanna be ethan and andy.

im so glad ppl are having real discussions about P4perback. He is not apart of the fandom, he does not care to be. He hasn’t read ~any~ fanfiction. He’s asked in a livestream what color remus’ hair is. Today he admitted it does not matter “its all fictional” and its “just a cosplay that gets views.”

If you want to follow him thats up to you, but i dont understand why hes the most talked about person in this fandom, and how hes able to pay his rent from a character he knows nothing about.

[atlasdoe]

i've been keeping an eye on this whole mischief productions and p4perback drama that's being going on recently and if anything watching this all play out and the response to it is really proving to me that some of y'all just shouldn't be in this fandom

please hear me out

One of the biggest differences in the marauders fandom to most is that we don't have anyone irl to stan. We don't like the author of the original series, most of the actors that portray these characters in the films were miscasted and the fancasts, although most knowing that they are fancasts, still havnt played these characters and therefore can't give us anything new.

Because of this I feel like a lot of people have been turning to others in the fandom to fill this gap like cosplayers to fill in for actors or fanfic authors to fill in for writers and although that may seem harmless clearly these last few days have proven that it's not.

A lot of these people have leaned into this and started actually coming up with their own fanfilms and series to further this idea that they are now our actors for us to stan, and by calling their followers their fans, and allowing people to make edits of them, use their pictures as fancasts and pinterest boards and even are posting multiple videos of themselves on tiktok as if they're doing press junkiest.

Now a hierarchy has been made and people start to think that they're better then others to the point where they can sell scripts to people even though it's illegal and ask for donations to make said fanfilms (which is soooo icky to me. you do not expect fanartists, editors or fic writers to ask others to pay for their equipment so why is it okay for them???)

This whole ai business was really a long time coming for this fandom and i fear that nobody is going to learn a lesson from this. We cannot keep putting people on pedestals just because they're giving us good fandom content. Some people are smart enough to tell y'all to stop (even tho you hardly listen) but most nowadays are just leaning into it for 15 seconds of fame. That's how we've gotten to the point where people are making marauders content just to gain a viewership and elevate their platform. Or joining a fanfilm to kickstart their career

And this issue of not having content/stans is something i see everywhere. I believe it's why so many people have this hive mindset where everyone has to be in agreement with ships and headcanons or when people keep asking when the next big fic is going to come out that everyone can obsess over when this isn't what being in a fandom is supposed to be about.

If you are missing this sort of structure in a fandom then please go to any other one because in no place should we be giving people this amount of power to screw everyone over like this and still get away with it just because so many people are blindly defending them (and just so we're clear, i'm talking about everyone in the mischief productions and any other fanfilm/series)

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW EEF IS GONNA PLAY REMUS IN THE MISCHIEF PRODUCTIONS!!! (it's not for certain guys, but I am counting down the seconds, minutes, hours and days until we find out)

[lee-isnotcool]

my marauders fancast 😍

regulus: timmy obviously, but also dorian from the mischief productions. their jegulus films have me in a chokehold and i will not elaborate

sirius: conan gray. a shaggy haired twink that makes poppy gay music and regularly puts up dramatic shitposts on his spam tiktok?? of course it's sirius!!!

remus: ethan. ethan fully introduced me to the marauders after i started following him in like 2021, and now i cannot see anyone else as our wolf boy. P4PERBACK SUPREMACY!!!

peter: kit connor. HEAR ME OUT- i feel like kit would actually have so much fun playing the villain after so much time as a golden retriever. he would do an excellent job, you can't even deny it.

james: taylor zakhar perez. our tall, sweet, hispanic boy. put a pair of glasses on him and he's literally james.

lily: anya taylor-joy. i can't quite explain it, but she has such a regal face that provides such a diamond-in-the-rough vibe that is so lily.

mary: leah sava jeffries. SHES SUCH A QUEEN UGHHHHHH and she totally embodies mary's sweetness as well as her humor (good-naturedly teasing aryan and walker by calling them dumb or something similar)

marlene: maya hawke. i will not be explaining myself further.

dorcas: corinna brown. she is so funny and confident and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS TOO- she's just so dorcas

barty: dallas liu. DALLAS IS SO FINE BRO- and we already know he can play a zesty badass villain (thank you live-action avatar)

evan: omar rudberg. omar is so ridiculously gorgeous, but as Simon in Young Royals he does it in a quiet way, and i feel like that matches up with evan perfectly

pandora: beabadoobee. she has such a fairycore whimsical vibe and it totally matches pandora's energy. plus, i've headcannoned panda as Filipino for so long-

Regarding Ethan/p4perback

Upon reviewing the stream that Ethan/EJ/p4perback did on October 11th 2024 called "clearing up some stuff", there is a specific thing that he said that needs to be discussed because I have not seen a single person mention this. And yes, we are using names now. I will be speaking factually about this one particular thing Ethan said in this livestream and this thing alone. Yes, I have opinions on other things he said, however, these are down to my interpretation of Ethan's words and attitude and therefore do not have a place in this post. Maybe in the future I will speak more openly about other my opinions if I feel like it, but not in this post. I am in no way speaking on anyone's behalf either, this is purely from me.

At 02:34:32, Ethan reads out a comment explaining that the mod who made a thread about Ethan uses it/xin/they pronouns on Twitter (it has since made a post saying it does not use they pronouns) but told Ethan directly it uses it/its. Ethan then replied by saying:

"Maybe it's because it's a day-to-day thing, I know that there are people who are genderfluid. Or they just did it to trip me up. Could be one or the other."

As someone who identifies as genderfluid, I find it incredibly hurtful to insinuate that someone who is genderfluid or uses multiple pronouns or neopronouns would give someone the incorrect pronouns to "trip them up". This is disgusting and hurtful and it shouldn't take being genderfluid to understand why you should not say something like this.

The person Ethan was referring to told Ethan its pronouns directly and therefore he should believe that it was being sincere and honest rather than misgendering itself to "trip" Ethan up.

I'm going to address the rest of this directly to Ethan, not that I expect him to see this, but I hope people pay attention. Not everybody has a constant agenda to catch you out Ethan, I understand this stream was following a Twitter thread regarding you, however, I believe the mod/ex-mod wanted accountability for current actions as well as past ones. But its gender and pronouns have nothing to do with this. If somebody had said you told them you were using he/him pronouns to trip them up, you would be enraged and rightfully so, please consider this and look back at what you said in your stream.

You said this on a stream of hundreds if not thousands of people who look up to you and admire you and expect explanations for things outlined in the thread. Like I said, I'm not going to acknowledge anything said in that thread right now, but I understand it was a stressful situation to go through. You were tired, exhausted, and in pain from filming and travelling, but this does not excuse what you said about your ex-mod's pronouns and frankly, it would be appalling if you used that as an excuse. If you were tired to the point of saying things you did not mean in a stream where you are trying to be genuine, honest and authentic, end the stream. If you were tired to the point of accusing someone of purposefully misgendering itself for the same of tripping you up, please consider where this came from within you.

I appreciate you really tried to get its pronouns correct in the stream, adjusting to pronouns you are unfamiliar with and how to use them respectfully can be a struggle, I say this as someone who has had to be patient with a lot of people getting used to they/them pronouns for my sake, but you can be angry at someone without saying things that are hurtful not just to that person but to an entire community of people. I would expect better from you.

Finally, I want to end with a message to Ethan's fans if they have read this far. I have seen some a lot of people including Andy in the comments of posts on multiple platforms that about Ethan, who very clearly want to defend and support Ethan and see him happy. I think it is great that you support someone so faithfully and defend them. However, there is a portion of the community who fail to recognise that people don't have to like Ethan and they will have their reasons for this. We are entitled to our opinions. You are entitled to like Ethan, we are entitled not to. You can think of him however you like, I used to watch Ethan's tiktoks and like them and share them with friends, but you do not need to tell people they are jealous of what he has and that they're bullying Ethan for no reason simply because they don't like him. This post is not bullying, it is accountability.

Please give that same kindness to others that you say Ethan gives to his community. I know this saying is overdone but it is free to be kind, it is also free to be respectful and understand what spaces are for you and what aren't. Yes, people are talking about Ethan now and eyes are on him, but they are on you too. I will not stand for harassment and bullying for expressing how his words made me feel. Please be respectful.

My taste in men is like ...

Umm, I guess I like traumatized, smart, stubborn, sarcastic asses

The funniest thing is i am ,,I DON'T have a type " girl

ASLO ME GOING CRAZY WHEN HE HAS ONE LEG, IS STUBBORN, SMART, RECKLESS, HAVE A BOND WITH ANIMAL, COURIOS, CUTE SMILE,. BIG NOSE, ZERO SURVIVAL INSTINCT, SARCASTIC, ABURN HAIR, SKINNY AND IS AN INVENTOR .... AND OF COURSE FUCKING TRAUMATAIZD....

I know 2 men who suit this description almost fully... it's not much, but it is crazy that it happened two times... and the rest of them suit most of what I said...

Of course, there are more male characters I like, for example, Dagur, but even if I like him, I... I can't imagine dating him 🤣 i like him, but he is not my type, so I didn't put him here

My taste in women is no better...

I think I like strong ladies for who family is everything...

There are also not all female characters I like, only the ones in my type..

Yeah, so it's a silly kind of post, I promise I am coming back with sketches, I was just very tired last time, but I am getting better, so expect post with a sketch soon... ❤️
