#yassen gregorovich fanart

[actuallytalldumbass]

Okay so I got an idea to draw Yassen in an aviator hat (and full helicopter pilot outfit) (I'll make and post it later) and when I told @treasureguardingdragon about that, at first they imagined Yassen in a propeller cap 💀

So that's that.

bonus:

Yassen (Novel version)

[annt-i]

Watched "I Saw The TV Glow" with some friends a few days ago (fantastic fucking movie btw) and was inspired to do a piece involving neon lighting, so ofc I put Yassen and Alex in it.

Oh the devil’s inside. You opened the door. You gave him a ride. Too young to know, too old to admit . That you couldn’t see how it ends - My Eyes - The Lumineers

Part 1

Part 2 of the AR tarot series

Yassen Gregorovitch as “Death”

Part 1

Part 3

This was originally suggested by @dreamsmthgold and I sort of just took it and ran with it.

Death represents endings, beginnings, change, metamorphosis… it just made sense for Yassen to be death (not just because he’s an assassin). And I wanted to do right by my favourite character.

I went with the TV version of him, arguably my personal favourite iteration, he was just so fun to draw and I am obsessed with that trench coat. Also, I added in some features that stood out to me from the original tarot card, extra points if you spot them :)

For the next card… I am not quite sure which character to go with. I have a general idea of the cards for them, but I can’t figure out what would be the natural progression for this series. Any ideas?

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

"Rasputin" by Boney M.

[clearwitchavenue]

I have soooooo many what if scenarios. Like imaging if:

- Yassen retired at a younger years a few years after Hunter (John Rider) died

- Yassen travels around the Europe, staying on its rural areas while traveling through urban cities

- Yassen opens up a quaint little restaurant

- Few years later, Ian Rider dies but Alex stays at home to mourn instead of chasing MI6

- Alex Rider forces himself to go to school and takes long walks after the day’s done

- Little Alex stumbles upon unknown quaint restaurant (quite literally) and is helped up by the owner

- Yassen patched up the English boy’s scratches while said boy was frantically trying to properly apologize

- Yassen treats him to some food, Alex eats every bite and tries to pay the man by sneaking it by the counter before leaving

- Yassen saw through that and snuck his money back with a note that he could visit anytime

- Alex visits more often after school, Jack sees him a little bit more happy and doing better in academics, Yassen now has a possible new hire, and Tom keeps asking why he sneaks of after classes

- Alex struggles with his academics while Yassen trains him how to serve food

AND THE REST WAS HISTORY I GUESS??? TBC…

Okay so....... heres my 2nd attempt at drawing on my new tablet. I finally think Im getting somewhere with drawing faces, and ofc I had to draw one of my favourite characters.

[nighty-night-nh]

I finished two books in the span of a month, be proud of me.

Here I stand on the other side of Eagle Strike and I have some Thoughts. A little negative to start but we go up from there.

First off, not gonna lie, I think I was less engaged with the book than the others for the first half. Unfortunately I didn’t find Damian Cray an interesting main villain at the start or when it was all over. He’s at the bottom of favorite main bad guys for me at the moment behind Julius Grief, and I like Grief so that’s an oof for him. He does get brownie points for the pennies execution method and his own ‘Syndrome from The Incredibles’ adjacent death.

Don’t get me wrong, there were definitely bits at the start I enjoyed. Like the fact that we hardly get 300 words into the book and Yassen is just There to ruin Alex’s holiday and the matador moment but overall it was a slightly sad “Ok he’s dealing with a madman with nukes that thinks he’s doing the world a favor two books in a row. Sarov did this way better than you months ago and this book is rapidly ending. Where is the third act shoe-drop that makes people like this book?”

And, um, the shoe certainly did drop. Several of them.

Starting with Sabina’s kidnaping at the hospital. Not only was it the first ‘normal’ thing in the book grounding it to reality but it just made me feel sick to my stomach because something like that happens to girls often irl. I really hope she does ok until the next time we see her. Then there’s the whole business with the plane. I’m not American but as somebody who watches videos speculating on hypothetical WWIII start points, the hijacking of air force one did properly freak me out.

And finally, what you’ve probably been waiting for me to get to: Yassen and The Big Reveal.

Yall just watched me get attached to this man knowing full well this is the book he died in, huh.

I was so enjoying him fighting himself on what he was doing with Alex and trying hard not to strangle Damian. Of course there’s the conflict of interest: Money vs not being able to live with himself if he killed the son of the man who saved him. No wonder he spoke so fondly of him. I mean he still put him in the bull ring but w/e. But this isn’t everything. He may be dead now but I’m still in the dark about a part of his story. Why and how did he start? How did he get to be this good, and this hardened to contract work? Where exactly did his code of not killing kids come from? It couldn’t have been from Alex, he already didn’t kill kids. I have so many questions that’ll probably get answered in the next few books.

My last point of note is realizing the Rider brothers were on two sides of the same coin. They both killed. John was a contract killer for money, Ian worked for MI6 and both hid it from people in their lives. Did they know? Did they ever know? We can’t ask dead men questions, can we.

Now with all of that out of my system, I move onto Scorpia. Which is the book I am actively scared of. I heard whispers of it in Never Say Die, Its consistently voted the favorite of the entire series and I’ve heard it’s the start of Alex’s even emo-er arc which he 100% deserves by the way.

I am in for a world of pain for this next book n’ I don’t think I’m ready.

The chickens love him

Drawing of retiremed Yassen with a chicken farm for @treasureguardingdragon :]

I like to imagine the chicken that's touching Yassen's shoe reminded him of Alex (cause it keeps bothering him)(hence why it's called Sasha) and the one he's holding is named after Hunter

edit: now the other two chickens are named after Leo and Dima :]]

Also when I was making it I thought 'huh, yassen is holding that chicken like a basketball' and this vision came to my mind 💀

✨clean girl aesthetics✨

(The moment I saw him I thought he could use some eye patches. Time to give him that and more.)

[annt-i]

Okay, I saw several posts about Yusuf Dikeç (the Turkish Olympic shooter that got silver) being compared to Yassen ( @proodence is the first person i saw do this, but idk) , and the idea wouldn’t leave me alone. I am severely sleep deprived but I hope it looks okay cos I can’t tell.

To Look Like Danny

“Dude, look.” He leans across the center to show Danny his picture. “You photograph so bad.”

Danny barely glances over the photos that Alex is holding out before gluing his eyes back out the window. “I know.”

--

chap 7 of things that bleed by @artistfingers, @kkachis, and @ghostly-cabbage is up and Danny is having a very good and normal time being A Normal and Functioning Human [Danny lies still enough he can pretend he doesn’t have a body at all—still enough that he starts to forget which way his limbs are positioned. The more he forgets, the better he feels. It’s familiar. Hazy.] it's a lie he's not a ghost

also! this is a psa that readers DO NOT need to know anything about alex rider or the scp (or even danny phantom, really) to read or immensely enjoy this fic! (but it will make you want to know about them very very badly. because THE WRITING IS SO GOOD AAAAA)
