if john and helen lived it would've been ”you, me and steve (your 19/20 year old assassin apprentice that you tried to steer away from the lifestyle but instead he went to russia to kill his former boss and is now on the path to become one of the best contract killers in the world why is he still hanging around here, john, we have a CHILD—)”

Me minding my own business as I listen to music when I get an idea for a John/Yassen animatic.

God damn it.

I'm looking at the letters John wrote to Julia and holy shit John what is your handwriting

Yassen, squinting at Alex's shopping list: You really are your father's son

[actuallytalldumbass]

finally finished product! John and young Yassen from the show

holy shit when i started this it wasn't going so great but now when it's finally finished i couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

I also attached versions with different coloured lineart since i like and am very proud of all 3 of them and couldn't decide which to choose so there ya go

it takes place immediately after we see john shoot the dealers (that's why yassen's scar is still bleeding and he's a bit shaken from the whole encounter)

(i know the scar is on the other cheek but i wanted it to be very visible so i did it like that, if it really bothers someone then there u go, flipped versions just for you)

i've been staring at the original unflipped version for so long that this one just seams wonky to me but that's to be expected

I FORGOT TO MENTION BUT there will be a yassen and alex version later (not sure when and it might be VERY later、we'll see)

Ash turned to Alex and he seemed suddenly ghost-like in the artificial light of the plane. A strange look came into his eyes. “John had a soft spot for Yassen,” he said. “He really liked him. What do you make of that? The spy and the assassin. A bit of an odd couple, I'd say…”

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

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

re-read some of the scenes in russian roulette and i have to say, i find it hilarious how much of a hypocrite john rider is

john to yassen: forget about your grandfather, family is a weakness that can be used against you by your enemies. oh you're carrying a watch that used to belong to him because it reminds you of home? weak. get rid of it.

also john to yassen: i've been married for three years and have a kid on the way. yes, i am wearing my wedding ring in your presence, despite the fact that you are a baby assassin in the making and i keep telling you that sentimentality is a weakness. and now i am going to meet up with someone that is definitely not my wife, but don't tell rothman, ok? i'm not supposed to do that on a mission so this is super secret

john to yassen: assassins do not have preferences. your preferences can get you killed and if you make a habit of ordering the same food or drink at any place, that can be used to find you

also john: *orders grenadine on every possible occasion & has a habit of drinking his special whiskey after a successful kill*

dude really said ”do as i say, not as i do”, while never acknowledging that he went against his own teachings in the first place, all the while gaslighting yassen with the whole ”i am not advising you to leave scorpia, i just don't think that you are cut out for this line of work, but of course the last thing i want to do is dissuade you, i'm just saying that you can leave not that you should” thing. he is SUCH a manipulative bastard i love him
