This shall not work, Anne thinks. Her life with Lillian shall beest nothing more than miserable and did fill with shackles. She has to severe Lillian off her life like a cancerous limb rotting right off the bone and bleeding puss and blood right off it.

“What wouldst thee do if it be true if I hath left thee?” Anne asks.

Lillian’s eyes flutter downwards, her smile falters. Her lips sealed.

“Then I shall resent thee.”

ooooooh okay so among the main four/five villains of the series i truly do love how they chose to put iosef in more casual clothes. it really does separate him from the rest. while the other villains (viggo, santino, adjudicator, and marquis) are almost always in suits and do look presentable—iosef’s style is laid back, just casual. the kinda outfits you’d see anyone where when just going out

it really does accentuate the fact that he’s not professional like at all and it just adds to this level of character to him. the only time he wears something even remotely resembling a suit is when he goes to viggo in his second scene but even that makes him still look not presentable at all.

the sort of edgier, biker aesthetic that iosef has is probably one of my favorites when it comes to fashion/style in john wick and it just suits him so well. put him in a suit like any other and it just feels off. plus, it adds to his and john’s beef as being more of a…personal thing

The Adjudicator in The Continental states that it PREDATES (holy shit) the roman empire which is just downright diabolical and I think it started off more as like this group of crime, doing petty things before it eventually started evolving with the modern times. I personally headcanon the High Table’s roots being formed during the time of the Roman Republic which is one of the earliest examples of democracy in history(?) and because of politics and the vast amount of things that happened during that time, I definitely head canon the High Table being formed at that time as nothing more than just maybe a simple rebellion group that does crime but with not much power, but quickly gained that control.

I think as crime came to be, around the 19th century, mafias started forming, primarily the Sicilians (aka the Cosa Nostra) I think it was mostly in Europe, or maybe just in Italy, placing us at three seats with the Cosa Nostra being the first, and the the ‘Ndrangheta(Calabria) and the Camorra(Naples) following after. While the Yakuza and the Triads did exist during those times, I don’t think there was international communication that would be available at that time, but I think the Triads would be added shortly after and then the Yakuza, then placing us at five. It’s only then when things started modernizing that I think the other seats would be formed, such as the Cartels, and then the Bratva which was surprisingly started around the 50s lmao. I thought it was started in the 1800’s 😭

To make an entirely new seat would depend on if a mafia is big enough. The cartels for example, are big as hell both in members and in influence. Which goes the same for the Ndrangheta, the Camorra, Cosa Nostra, the Triads, the Bratva, and the Yakuza. BUT if there were a new seat, I would theorize it would be the Italian-American mafia in New York as they already have a vast amount of allies overseas in Italy as well as enough families under them
