"So, how did [my father] protect you? What happened?" "He saved my life."

alex rider is kind of the best tv adaption ever made, not bc its incredibly faithful but bc it has the strength of conviction to look at the books and say "actually half this shit kinda sucks lmao." it doesnt mock the books, but it also doesnt waste time with references to appease fans. it just confidently tells its own story, and is therefore 1000x better than any strict 1:1 adaption could be

Blunt: The experience is the payment. Besides he even gets international trips, hospital trip included.

Julia: John deceived us, he was playing us, he was mi6 all along, he was never one of us!!

Yassen: That sounds like a you problem, I don't give a fuck

what i imagine yassen mentoring alex in season 3 will be like

[truly-sincerely]

As someone who watched the Alex Rider show first, and is now going back and reading some of the books, I have such a fucking fraught parasocial relationship with Anthony Horowitz.

I am a continuity lover. I love continuity more than life itself; life is often disappointing when it comes to continuity. You know who else is disappointing? Anthony Horowitz does not give a fuck about continuity. He has never met her. He does not know her name. I want to give him a swirly and shove him in a locker. I want to curse him with forever hiccups.

The man can write an action sequence tho. The way Ash describes the Mdina extraction? Excellent. I am enthralled. I am captivated. I will never be the same.

Page one of Russian Roulette, the TENTH Alex Rider book: "[Yassen] was 28 years old" NO HE FUCKING WASN'T I AM GOING TO [explicit threat deleted]. THIS IS BASIC FUCKING MATH. Subtract 14 from 28, Horowitz. Tell me how old he was when Alex Rider was born, Horowitz. What was Yassen doing when Alex Rider was born, HOROWITZ??

Alex: I’m not going stand here and watch you kill a man.

Yassen: You’re welcome to sit but you are going to watch.

I love the idea that Yassen is one of the only members of SCORPIA or MI6 that Alex actually trusts because he's the only one who hasn't lied to him about anything. Even though Yassen killed his uncle at least when Alex asked him he was just like "yeah I did that."

[alexhatessupermarketcola]

AR fic writers trying to get inside Yassen's head when his two canon motivations are that Alex Rider should:

a) go home

and

b) join Scorpia

"So, you see now? Right?" "This is what Max Grendel understood. It's personal for you. You're using all of SCORPIA for your own vendetta." "I am SCORPIA."
