he looks like he’s in the dining room with the trio and he’s having a great time before all hell breaks loose

private planes were always far better than regular airlines, especially when it came to the security. if an eccentric billionaire invites you to a private island in the caribbean, then you can smuggle whatever you want with you. in this case, a pistol. nothing too over the top, there wasn’t even extra ammunition, it was just something to protect himself since he was being flown off to a remote island in the middle of nowhere.

lyle hated flying, he preferred driving and, if needed, he would choose a boat over a plane any day.

he was here now, with a handful of others on hammond’s private jet, being flown to costa rica, just to get on a helicopter there and head to the islands.

the best thing to do, was try to sleep, and hope that it’s long enough to get there.

this new park, this marvel of engineering and monument to history, had better be as good, if not better, than what hammond had been telling them it was, because very little is worth getting on a plane.

“I guess it seemed more ironic, for him to be consumed by his own creation, and I wanted to be the one to pull the trigger.”

comparing film!lyle to book!lyle is kinda really funny, like film!lyle is just here with his goofy little journal wanting to document and learn about dinos and slowing falling in love with dr. malcolm and book!lyle is covered in raptor blood and declaring himself the alpha and threatening to kill people

they are the same guy but they are DIFFERENT guys and i love them so much

I have every right to be.

I have nothing to say about it.

DR. LYLE REED

this is the character i was talking about, who’s probably one of the most fleshed out characters i’ve made in a while. fc: james mcavoy — jurassic park

“I am the monster you should be afraid of.”

this is dr. lyle reed, aka book!lyle. this version of lyle comes primarily/solely from the michael crichton jurassic park novels. he is dark, malicious, and violent in nature, but not for the purpose of fitting into the quite darker themes of the books. universally, lyle is interested in animal anatomy and behaviour sciences, and usually has a doctorate in these fields. he’s worked with wild animals his entire life, that’s why he’s a keen (last minute) choice for hammond’s tour of the park. this variant of lyle is weapons-intelligent, and initially very skeptical of the involvement of jurassic park. during the timeframe of the book, lyle is primarily on his own, going through the dangerous motions of “kill or be killed,” thus learning to murder the leader raptor of the pack in order to establish his own dominance. he is vicious because he has to be, and he finds no thrill in returning to these islands.

“If you’re not afraid of this place, then you shouldn’t be here.”

this version of lyle is, in a word, lovestruck. he is built for the films instead of the novels, which allows him to be more of an average person infatuated with the grand idea of bringing back the world’s most ancient creatures, just like the rest of the group invited to the island. he is good with the kids, allowing for most of the pressure to be off of alan. lyle and ellie are closer in field studies than ian or alan, so they hit it off pretty quickly, and ian finds lyle strange and intriguing, though they butt heads a lot during the first film (spoilers they get together later). lyle is never deterred enough to think going back to the islands and exploring further is ever a bad idea, but he isn’t ignorant in his curiosity. lyle is smart, he knows how animals work, and even if they are ancient and unknown, dinosaurs are still animals. he takes precautions, he isn’t a fan of carnivores, and he is usually right about his facts. he will always take the chance to see these extraordinary creatures one more time.

“I killed the alpha so I became the alpha.”

older au for lyle! lyle and the trio are all in their mid twenties/thirties, and are active at the jurassic world amusement park. lyle watches the velociraptor paddock and realises that the alpha raptor is bullying and starving out the rest of the pack. lyle goes into the paddock and takes care of the bullying alpha, challenging it to take the position of alpha and then shoots the raptor in the head. after a few days, the lab assistants in charge of the raptors report that the pack hasn’t been eating. lyle soon puts together that he has to be present during every feeding to let the raptors know that they can eat. he continues his routine of coming to the enclosure and begins to bond with the raptors as their alpha, but he isn’t really that interested in them. that’s until a spunky new employee named owen grady who begins to follow lyle around like a lost puppy.

“Lyle Harding, and you are…?”

recent au for lyle! lyle is 16 during the events of the 1993 park, and he’s the son of sarah harding. sarah was only 18 when she had lyle, and is almost forty during the events of isla sorna in 1997. lyle and billy brennan are childhood friends, and both follow in careers of palaeontology. lyle is present for all three jurassic park scenarios, and does not get any closer with his mother during the 1997 event. lyle almost loses billy during the 2001 incident involving the kirbys, and becomes rather threatening and distant towards paul, amanda, and erik after the pteranodon encounter at the river.

“If you think I’m in danger, please, feel free to report me.”

recent au for lyle!! he’s aged down and now the kid of ellie and alan! i genuinely don’t have too much for him, other than he regularly visits the jurassic world amusement park and works with a velociraptor named red! red is the only raptor in JW that is directly related to the raptors from isla sorna, as well as the only male in the pack. red, along with blue and the others, has been taught to understand sign language, and lyle frequently communicates with red, who’s established lyle in the hierarchy of the pack.
