@jenksel why didn't you tag me in this?

This is what I imagine Scully had to deal with at 9:00am every morning when she walked into work and saw Mulder prepping his little slideshow for her

Maybe looking forward to...?

I just learned that one of my favourite 90's tv show Bayond Beliefs fact or fiction got a 2020+ seasons addition exclusively for German fans. In that case I for once adore growing up with the German dub of the show. (I didn't know it was that popular over here. Btw the German title of the series is X-Factor das Unfassbare which I adore too.) I am just a bit scared of watching it since my main reason to adore the series was the German dub's voiceactor of the introductions and since I am extremly upset when dubs change voiceactors I may not like his serie if the introduction's voiceactor doesn't at least sound similar to the old one.

Okay. Hold on. I’m kind of reeling from the information that the new X-Factor/Beyond Belief episodes were exclusive to Germany.

This isn’t a German show. This is an American show. The moderator is Jonathan Frakes, who is not German - even in this exclusively German fifth season, it is still Jonathan Frakes.

On the one hand do I absolutely appreciate that they kept this familiar face, but on the other hand is it... kind of baffling to me that they did, if you consider all the circumstances?

It’s been 20 years since the show ended; no one would have really faulted them to make a “reboot” and to then, obviously, feature a new moderator. Especially since... these new episodes were German-exclusive; it would have even made sense to put a new and German moderator in and skip a step.

Instead, they got Jonathan Frakes back and had this American man do the moderation... and then dub him over (and even with a new voice-actor! He sounds so off, which just seems like all the more justification for a new one).

Let me make clear that this is not a complaint, that I wanted a new moderator or anything. I mean I’m glad they went through that extra step because it’s Jonathan Frakes, he is indeed the face of the show, but on a practical level, it kind of sounds bonkers to me, to produce something exclusively for the German market but call up an American to do the moderation, in English, and dub him over; for a direct continuity okay maybe, but for something that happens twenty years after the fact?

Stunning, absolutely amazing. These guys knew what they were doing when they made these new episodes, because they don’t feel new - and that’s not meant as a dig, I love how much they capture the vibes of the original.

Beyond the bafflement about that choice though, I’m genuinely stunned that they... made more of this show... exclusively for Germans?? I mean, I know I hold this show in the highest regard - I still have nightmares and superstitions from watching this as a child, like, genuinely, I have certain behaviors that I developed after watching this show as a too young child and scaring the shit outta myself - but I wasn’t aware that, apparently, it is being held in high regards by many Germans, if we’re a lucrative enough market to make new episodes just for us, twenty years after the show ended? Gives me kind of a power-high, ngl.

So... I definitely know what I’ll be doing next Halloween, I guess? If this is some weird RTL2 tradition now, to produce one or two episodes of X-Factor for Halloween? (Or is it exponentially increasing and next year we get three?)

[evangelineartemiasamos]

Okay, but is Beyond Belief: Fact of Fiction a show generally considered as iconic, or is this just a thing of german millenials aka 90s kids?

[just-kalina]

I just finished reading Dorian Gray

Is it possible that the portrait showed the man's soul and aged instead of the man himself? Was it the ghost of Basil that made the portrait survive unscathed? Could this have really happened in the 19th century, or is it just a fantasy?

This is Jonathan Frakes, and you're watching Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction.

I’M SORRY HOW ARE THERE NEW X-FACTOR/BEYOND BELIEF EPISODES?! IT’S BEEN 20 FUCKING YEARS.

WHY DID I HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS BY ACCIDENTALLY COMING ACROSS IT AIRING TODAY WHILE MINDLESSLY ZAPPING???

AND THEY’RE WITH JONATHAN FRAKES.

[i-did-not-mean-to]

@maglor-my-beloved Did you never watch X-Factor, das Unfassbare??? Please, do not do that, Jane will have her crush over sooner or later and the presence of those two eerie dolls who seem to move whenever he turns away will freak everyone out!

Doll-Mairon is CURSED! He's a menace! He'll poke your eyes out when you sleep! Please do not keep cursed dolls in your house.

Cf. Chucky and Annabelle! I beg you! Be careful!

The Diary of Jane Doe - Part III

On the subject of the bookseller & of Chibi-villains...

@melkors-big-tits...please stop enabling me. There's another two chapters written already 🤣🤣

-> Part II

Words: 1,4k

Warnings: Nudity, a fire, tiny villains, and skipping work

October 20th - Part I

Jane – queen of mediocrity – felt that a monumental change had taken place as soon as she woke up with a prodigiously massive headache.

Tumbling out of bed, disoriented, she shook her head carefully to dispel the auditory hallucinations of a cat rummaging through her living room. She had no cat; she had never had any kind of pet other than the hamster that had died on her 15th birthday.

Upon attempting to grab a fresh pair of knickers though, she had to stifle a sharp cry – it came out as a whistling, pathetic whine instead – when her eyes fell on the curled-up creature sighing happily in his slumber. It was only then that she fully remembered just what egregious malarky she had gotten up to the previous night.

She also recalled that Melkor – the unusual and potentially lethal entity who had answered her call – didn’t like being left alone and, as she was not ready to take a literal demon into the shower with her, she decided to simply let him sleep a little longer while she tried to wash away the stench of her nightly overindulgence.

Her wound stung viciously and – for the first time in her life – Jane decided that she would call into work sickeven though her health was, as of now, impeccable if one did not take into account her bruised and bloodied finger.

So, my girl, she spoke to herself gravely as she stood under the warm spray, you have bought a book from a strange grey-eyed, long-haired, pointy-eared weirdo because you were desperate and lonely and then you have woefully bungled the summoning spell, effectively not only pulling an unknown individual into your world but also shrinking said being to a truly unimpressive size.

So far, so good. Nothing that could not be reversed…even though she had no idea where Melkor had come from and hence did not know into which hole to cram him to be rid of him again.

Moreover, he had literally threatened her with a “good” time.

The water was running cold by now and – despite her feeling much restored by the healing lukewarm shower – she could not help still imagining that she heard crashing and tearing noises and a soft whooshing akin to the whispering of a small fire.

Alarmed, she sprang out of the shower – nearly hitting her head against the doorframe when she slipped on the wet tiles - and ran back to her room.

Something warm and furry slapped into her face and she stumbled back in confusion.

It took a moment for her to pry off this new threat and Jane was horrified to discover that it was a small, exceedingly cute-looking bat staring up at her with a comically angry expression on its sweet, little face.

“Thuri, that’s our host, leave her be…” Melkor called and then grinned cockily at Jane, his black, sharp smile infuriatingly triumphant. “My forces have arrived!”

There was evident pride in his voice and demeanour and Jane didn’t have the heart – nor the time – to comment on the fact that his forces were but three other entities, all of them just as small as he was himself. 

The lack of opportunity was mainly due to the fact that her duvet was on fire.

With three leaping steps, she was beside her bed and wrung out her dripping hair over the small, merrily dancing flame which sizzled out immediately.

“Hey,” someone called, and she looked down on an animated porcelain doll; this one at least was dressed in some finely woven coat over intricately embroidered leggings and a stunning tunic.

“Do not drop Thuri,” Melkor urged and so reminded Jane of the fact that she was still holding the feral creature that had flown into her face in the most literal of senses.

Carefully, she set the strange bat down beside the doll and the wet, singed spot in her favourite duvet.

"How do I get rid of you?” she cried out in exasperation; having one not-devil to look after was curse enough, she – who had ever shirked any real responsibility – did not feel ready to cater to two person-shaped abominations, one miniature bat, and something that looked like a truly unfortunately-shaped lizard.

“You cannot,” Melkor smirked, “you have signed in your blood. You’ve summoned me, you’ve made your demands, I have offered you a solution, and you have not denied me. We are – for better or for worse, and let’s be honest, it will be “worse” – your creatures now.”

“Why don’t you go back to whence you’ve come?” Jane asked, her pale fingers cramping in the scratchy fabric of her too-short and too-narrow bath towel; there was enough nudity in this room without her baring herself by accident.

“I’ve been naked and alone for too long. You cannot even fathom how bad it was,” Melkor replied in a hollow voice that sounded painfully honest; Jane was not sure if he was trying to manipulate her by tugging on her heartstrings, but his words did give her pause. “Let me help you and redeem myself. Mairon here is a devil – excuse the use of this highly incorrect term – when it comes to plans and both Thuri and Gotty are loyal and hard-working.”

Gotty, Jane surmised, had to be the reptilian monstrosity with the horns and the glittering scales. 

“Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, at your service,” the self-same creature purred in a low, gravelly voice. “What can we do for you?”

“Nothing,” Jane expostulated. “I yearned for a more interesting life, not to be haunted by unholy demons who set my flat afire and steal my underwear. I don’t even own plants because I am unable to take care of anything.”

“Well,” Gothmog – Lord of Balrogs, whatever those were – smiled in what Jane surmised was meant to be an expression of optimistic encouragement; she could not be entirely sure because his mouth was but a dark slash full of sharp-looking teeth, but he seemed to at least attempt a friendly grin. “We’re all dead already – don’t worry, it’s a very long story – but you cannot possibly kill us.”

“Also,” the bat added slyly, “we will let you know if we need anything. You see any relationship of service is a two-way street; you take care of us, and we take care of you.”

Jane frowned. “Are you like genies? Aren’t those supposed to be under my command?”

“Lady,” Melkor interrupted harshly, “stop comparing us to your strange chimaeras. We are what we are and nothing else.”

“Under your command?” the doll screeched, his golden-amber eyes flashing with an immense fury that far exceeded the scale of his tiny, fragile body.

“Thuri is right,” Gothmog cut in calmly, “even if we are here to serve you, there’s always a price to be paid and – most importantly – we are faithful creatures only if we’re treated respectfully.”

“Who taught you that?” Jane mumbled, shuffling behind her open wardrobe door to slip into her clothes without wearing any underwear as she didn’t want to disturb Melkor on his throne of lace.

“He did,” Mairon declared proudly and nodded into Melkor’s direction. 

Makes sense, Jane thought miserably as she felt her breasts sag unattractively beneath the beige blouse sticking uncomfortably to her still-wet skin; while she was not sure how she had summoned Melkor – the spilt wax must have changed the telephone extension so to say – she was entirely convinced that she had never called for a haunted doll, a smoking lizard, and a mouthy bat. Hence, it was safe to assume that those three had made their way through whatever portal she had created willingly to retrieve or even rescue their friend.

Resignation flooded her and – mingling with the fatigue and confusion – turned her mind into a muddy brown swamp; the colour was so comfortingly dull and familiar that Jane felt grounded once more.

“Off to the mall then,” she sighed, “so I can cater to your every whim. Let me just get a coffee real quick.”

“What is “a coffee”? Can I have some?” Melkor asked charmingly and extended his arms to her.

“Am I going to have to carry all of you around all the time now?” Jane groaned as she picked him up carefully, much to the glaring displeasure of the puppet from hell.

“Na,” Thuri replied, flapping her little wings, and perching on her shoulder, nestled close to the side of Jane’s throat. “You smell really nice.”

Collecting her demons and stuffing them into various pockets, Jane padded over to the kitchenette, wondering frantically if it would be a good idea to give the most excitable and energy-laden demons in the history of the occult coffee.

The longest day of poor Jane's life...

Lots of love from me 💕
