"Your father never worked for Scorpia. He always worked for us. Always."

Not something I’d normally post but this has infuriated me for YEARS. The most popular Artemis Fowl ship is Hartemis. For anyone that doesn’t know, it is the titular character x a character named Holly Short. I don’t know, but I never noticed any chemistry between them but that’s not the point. The problem with this ship is that Holly is in her 80s and Artemis is 15 at the end of the series. Nobody ever seems to notice or care about that fact, though. Not only that, but she KISSED HIM. She kissed him and nobody acknowledges how messed up that is.

tv series Ian Rider:

Ahorz about any female character: here's a bare bones description of what she looks like. Alex thinks she's pretty.

Ahorz about John: he had a universal charm about him but nonetheless a sense of danger rippled in his wake

Ahorz about Yassen: he moved with grace, yet in a way that betrayed a quiet strength. His features were as if carved from marble, and he dresses in such a way that brings out his understated beauty while allowing him to blend in perfectly

Ahorz about the Australian SAS guy: Big Fucking Pecs

Chaotic Alex Rider is my favourite.

One of my most favourite scenes is where he gets mad that his old friend started taking, stalks the drug dealer by bike then decides, yes, a logical option here is to play hook a duck claw machine with the drug production boat (people and all) using a crane to drop it off gently in the police station car park like you do.

(which of course ends up meaning instead being dropped from height through the conference centre next door's roof)

It's remarkable that Alex is even somewhat surprised at what happens next 😂

Truly top tier chaos.

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

“You can kiss me if you like," she said.

Alex let go of her and turned away. "Thanks, Fiona," he said. "But frankly I'd prefer to kiss the horse.” ― Anthony Horowitz

09.12.2024 - a book that changed my life

the house of silk by anthony horowitz

"it is impossible to imagine what the world will be like by then, what advances mankind will have made, but perhaps future readers will be more inured to scandal and corruption than my own would have been. to them i bequeath one last portrait of Sherlock Holmes, and a perspective that has not been seen before."

Mark Gatiss as Frank Parris/Oscar Berlin From What is Moonflower Murders?

Clever writing, intriguing characters, twists and turns plus an unexpected ending. The cast and creator of Moonflower Murders introduce you to what you can expect in the show premiering on MASTERPIECE on PBS Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, 9/8c. Susan Ryeland (Lesley Manville, The Crown) has left publishing and is living in Crete with her long-time boyfriend, Andreas. But her idyll is disturbed by the shadow of a murder committed at a British country hotel eight years ago. Alan Conway visited the hotel and wrote a novel based on what happened there. Cecily Treherne, the young woman who helps run the hotel, read the book and believed the wrong man had been arrested. Now she has disappeared. Can Susan uncover the secret hidden in the book and find Cecily before it is too late? Moonflower Murders is based on the bestselling novel by Anthony Horowitz.

Behold! (For the second time!) My very own poster for Alex Rider as a multicoloured linocut! Roughly A3 size, printed with oil based paints, the blue mixed by yours truly.

Had a blast working on it even though it was a wee bit nerve-wrecking, but in the end I think it was worth it :,) I just love doing Alex Rider themed traditional prints! 💖

hey so your nephew just dismantled the scariest assassin guild on this side of the hemisphere. yeah that's him there covered in blood. yeah. yeah. mmhmm. yeah he's got a weird friendship with the guy who killed you. how old is he now? oh i guess you don't know, you've been dead for a while. he's almost fifteen. yeah, no, you're right, no fourteen year old should have that much blood on them. we don't know how this happened either. yeah, sorry. no you can't talk to him you're dead.

[flowersforzoe11]

thinking about the alex rider books and in the beginning we were like okay

this kid's uncle was a spy? truly how weird

and then a few books of silly missions later we're like wait the russian dude who killed said uncle was in love with the dead dad who we've never thought about before ?

okay

and then 2 of the next 3 books are wild missions interspersed with the craziest lore drops ever (and then alex casually goes into space between said books)

truly a wild ride start to finish

Stephen Dillane as Alan Blunt in Series 3 Episode 6 of Alex Rider (2024)

Set 6 of 6

[tea-spawn]

Hello, Season 3 Alex. This new look is fine.

(Everyone looks fine)

Too bad it doesn't last.

You can literally see him crossing over to the darkside in these shots 😭

At least five to six shots of her lurking in the background, murmuring in Alex's ear... For a 2 minute trailer, that's a lot. They're clearly not shying away from the creepy predatoriness of this relationship and I am so here for that 🙌

But yeah, post-SCORPIA Alex is going to be the death of me (haha, geddit?) LOOK AT HIM. He looks so fucking tortureddd 🤐😩

Moral dilemmas, here we go✊

Anyway whoever decided to bless us with more of this duo needs a raise:

They were so correct.

I have such high expectations for this season and I can already tell it's not going to disappoint. Just like season 1 and 2 never did. Especially not with shots like these:

I don't know what we did collectively as a fandom to deserve this great an adaptation lol. I am simply filled with so much joy that, whatever happens, I can safely get excited about a story so close to my heart 🙏💘🙃
