Behold! A traditional Alex Rider print I've done a wee bit ago (and one that took me way too much time)!

This one here is a screen print! Based on a German newspaper article from 1913. A bit bigger than A3, printed on different papers as well!

plus some BTS photos of the different papers and mesh screen!✨

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

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.

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.

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!

Conversations to have with your invisible detective.

It is romantic, yes. It is peaceful. The sun shines, the sea it is blue. But you forget, mon ami, that there is evil everywhere under the sun.

So basically.

Alex Rider had a bit of psychology affecting him in the books aside from the main fact that he was a child spy and soldier.

Young teenage boys are known to look up to an older male figure, whether it’s a brother, friend, cousin, uncle, father, whatever.

Anyways, Alex lost Ian. Right off the bat, right as he was entering that point of life where he really needed an older male figure in his life. So what does he do?

He eventually grows sad that he never knew his own parents. Entirely understandable. But he knew he looked like his father, he was told that often by people that knew John. He tried to find out who he was through his father since he lost the trust he had in Ian a little.

And he was lied to. And selfish, evil people tried to convince this poor boy that his own father was no better than anyone else he had met in this world. Alex didn’t find out until later that John tried to leave it all so he could move and take his wife and new son with him to have a new life. Where his kid would know absolutely nothing of the hidden world.

Alex then seeked out the man who should know a lot about his father, even though Ash was more or less bestowed upon him by a brand new government. But Ash wasn’t very willing to talk about John.

Alex really, really tried to have a relationship with Ash, but he didn’t know his own physical appearance was causing Ash pain. That Ash was being destroyed mentally at the very sight of the boy who looked just like the friend he killed, except he was almost more innocent.

Alex kept trying with Ash, but the moment that he began following the young man with the jet-black hair and thoughtful blue eyes, he was done with Ash. He still talked to him some, but he no longer held the value to Alex that he once had. That value now belonged to Ben.

And Ben was everything Ash wasn’t. He promised to try and keep Alex safe. He promised to watch over him, to come the moment Alex called for help. He told him where he had been and how he ended up at MI6. He gave Alex his real name.

It was very fitting that Ben was the one to put Ash’s life to an end. Ben kept Alex safe, even if the situation was difficult, he was the older brother Alex needed so desperately for so long on that mission. And he got rid of the man who had caused Alex so much pain.

Ben “Fox” Daniels (specifically mostly in Snakehead) will always be one of my absolute favorite characters <3

Took me months to finish this one upon Kaos absolutely flabbering my gast halfway through working on it....I still miss him...

[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

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
