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:

[teddyniffler]

Ian Rider: I have the money that can send you to a posh private school, but why the hell would you want to go to a stuck-up, snotty school? No, I'm going to send you to the local school, be more of a challenge for you.

Bullies: *Smells Alex Rider out the second he joins the school because of his doleful looks and softly spoken posh accent*

Alex Rider: Somebody phone an ambulance...but not for me.

*Sends said bullies straight to A&E*

Ian Rider: That's my boy! - Well Nephew I guess.

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

So just finished binge watching the Alex Rider Series on Amazon Prime and have thoughts.

While the show does deviate from the books quite a bit, I actually enjoyed that fact.

Alex, while still being traumatised and the weight of the world on his shoulders, isn't fully alone. The books really pushed that narrative with loads of adults dying (especially those trying to help him) and particularly when the series originally ended with Scorpia Rising, he had no one and was a broken shell.

The TV show ended on a high, the bad guys are gone or disbanded, he's got his Team that he trusts and there is now respect between him and MI6 (aka Mrs Jones)

People love to say in general the book was better but this feels more like an AU with a happy ending and honestly after everything my boy has went through, I enjoyed it very much!

“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

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! 💖

my top 5 NoContext Alex Rider moments in no order: (off the top of my head bc i haven't read this series since like 2019)

the time he declined his clone's facebook friend request because the vibes were off (he didnt even remember who julius was)

when he as wondering why damain cray was insane and he immediately assumed porn

when he gave a pitbull 6 sleeping pills cut inside of a steak (his entire escape plan hinged on this working) (this somehow worked)

when he and the K unit guys went on that nasty hike and they were being dicks and he was so Fed Up that he just threw a book of matches at them and left

when Alex and Ash met the disguises lady and Alex was cool with a) showing her his gunshot scar b) stripping in front of her and c) almost drowning himself in a bathtub to dye his skin, but the second she suggested wearing shoes that were half a size too small he drew his fucking line in the sand

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."
