I think the funniest Yassen moment in the books that still cracks me up every time is when Cray is like 'what was up with the bullfight? I think you may have known he would survive' and Yassen is like 'I hoped he would', right to Cray's face, and gets annoyed with Cray for questioning his motives lmao

This project is going to take absolutely ages but I'm excited about it so here's a tiny preview of my Yassen and John video...

Mega kudos if anyone can recognise the song from this tiny clip 😆

He had looked into the dying man’s eyes and had seen no deceit, only a strange sort of tenderness - and a desire for the truth to be known.

Eagle Strike: Chapter 17

[truly-sincerely]

Eagle Strike vs Russian Roulette FIGHT

Horowitz isn't just a pantser, he's a pantser with bad memory. When he wrote Stormbreaker he had no idea who Yassen Gregorovich was. He was just Alex's cool, sexy, mysterious nemesis who spends the whole book voguing in designer jeans.

He doesn't become interesting until Eagle Strike (where he's still not allowed to do anything really awful) and Snakehead (where he's finally allowed to kill four and a half MI6 agents).

If you don't know, the prologue and epilogue of Russian Roulette tells Stormbreaker from Yassen's POV. According to the timeline established therein, Yassen did not kill Ian Rider. He couldn't have. He was in Hong Kong when Ian Rider died. It also completely erases Snakehead along with several other terrible writing sins that I will not get into here.

So this is just a long way of saying that I can't use anything from RR in my book timeline without tainting the whole timeline irreparably. Thank you for your understanding.

Yassen Gregorovich | Rasputin

It's self explanatory. I genuinely was shocked that no one made an edit to this song with Yassen, so naturally I had to...

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people look at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

My spoiler free thoughts the last minute of Alex Rider TV

1. No f-ing way they're ending it like this. I remember what happened in the book, they can't possibly end it this way. Oh, okay. Whew. I like that. That's good.

2. Alex didn't give a definite answer... 🤞

I hope one day, in one way or another we'll set our eyes west again. It was a fun few years that did the books justice.

[akilah12902]

I love you too, Alex.

Today in fuck you various editions of books:

America, not all love has to be sexual. Put Yassen telling Alex outright that he loves him BACK IN I SWEAR—

[metrgabalbilicious-xd]

Because their dynamic is amazing.
