Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz

Olympus Has Fallen

I’m tired of fanfiction mostly being romance, someone write a fanfic where Alex rider gets an emotional support crocodile.

If they did another Alex Rider tv series, set when Alex is in or has finished university. Do you think they would skip straight to Nightshade? (Because of Mrs Jones becoming the head of the department and the subtle references to her children in S3) OR do you think they would adapt a different book?? Thoughts?

Put your thoughts in the comments or tags!!

👥️, 📖, 👤, and 🌟 for the alex rider ask game! -hightensileyoyo

👥 - who are two characters who never got to interact that you would like to see talk to each other?

yassen and blunt 100%, i would love to see the two of them spat with one another because it'd be absolutely hilarious - alternatively seeing yassen absolutely lay into blunt about his treatment of alex would be perfect

📖 - is there a moment from the books that you really wish they added to the tv show?

tbh i've not really had anything from season 1 or 2 that i wish had been included from the point blanc and eagle strike, story wise, but maybe i would have liked to see yassen's barely contained irritation at cray at bit more because it was so funny in the books, poor yassen's blood pressure going sky high every time he has to deal with him

👤 - favourite character?

my darling murder man <3

🌟 - your choice, pick something from the list you really want to answer!

my favourite book: as a kid it was definitely ark angel, I don't know why but something about it just vibed with me and I read it soooo many times, it was just so fun and wild

now, however, it's absolutely russian roulette

i first read the books when i was 10 and read up to crocodile tears which was the last one of the series at that point so bar russian roulette i've actually not read any of them beyond crocodile tears lol

Could you do a least-favorite Alex Rider book poll next? Thank youuuu

but dude wouldn't the least voted one on the favourites poll automatically be the least favourite one? 🤔

But you know what, that sounds fun. We can do a silly lil poll.

Not adding Russian Roulette because it wasn't included in the favs poll either lol

Feel free to add your reasons in the tags!

Alex Rider: Really? I feel great. . . .

Sobbing rn. He's so tiny. At least get him a card, Jones!!!!

I keep thinking about the possibilities of a book about Alex Rider as an adult; like hard-cut 20/30 years into the future, dealing with the lasting psychological trauma of his experiences with MI6 - what kind of man would he be? Would he have been able to leave the spy world behind? Or would it be too deeply ingrained in him that he can’t leave it, even if he wants to. What would his relationship be to Mrs Jones? Would they speak at all? Would he be trying to live a normal life, would he be bitter, would he be jaded? How would his teen experiences impact his day-to-day living?

Oh, what if he caught wind of MI6 trying to pull the same stunt again, recruit some different teenager and he has to step in and stop them, save this kid the horrors that he went through?

Anyway, unlikely to happen, since it would be a pretty jarring tone-shift for what is ultimately a children’s book series but man, I just think a grown-up Alex Rider would be such an interesting concept to explore

This part of Mr. Horowitz' essay at the end of Crocodile Tears has me cackling lol. After ~10 years, here we are with ARTV. So glad he agreed eventually and found a great fit with Guy Burt in adapting it. 🌺

You're right,” Cray said. “I don't have to kill him. But I want to. It's something I want to do very much.

Alex Rider Tag Game!

Thank you @hightensileyoyo and @trueishcolours for the tag ❤️

Favourite book: russian roulette, but in the main present day setting it'd be ark angel or scorpia

Favourite short story: the white carnation

Book or tv series: they're both so beloved to me in different ways, but I think the books have to win out even if I've not read the main series in a long time (and admittedly I've never read beyond crocodile tears with the exception of russian roulette, none of the following books were released yet when I was reading them - crocodile tears was the last)

Favourite character: yassen!

Favourite villain: mrs rothman overall but probably ash for the emotional gut punch

Tagging: anyone who wants to join in! We're only a small fandom and I think most people have been tagged by someone by now lol ❤️
