idk if youre still even thinking abt iosef, since those posts were from a while ago but i just wanna say thank you for like. giving him a little depth? he’s easily hateable bc of his role in the narrative but i really wish the overt and obvious abuse he was facing from viggo was like. acknowledged by fans more? anyway thanks for having a lil nuance when you write him

Thank you!! I think Iosef is an interesting just like the other big bads (Santino, Vincent, Jude, etc etc)

He’s easily overshadowed by the fact he killed John’s dog and the fact he’s treated as a secondary antagonist next to Viggo. While yes, Viggo is the main antagonist of the first movie, Iosef sets the story in motion. (Little rant below)

Iosef is a character who I unironically love due to how Alfie Allen portrayed him and also how he was written. I think for someone whose agency dies off right after his opening scene, he still has his own character traits which are almost always glossed over by the fanbase which is unfair seeing as how fans seem to adore a character such as, not to use him as an example but he’s the best I have right now— Marquis who is an enigma and with even worse crimes as Iosef.

I really do think Iosef was somewhat abused by Viggo and it’s clear with how their dynamic is portrayed. Iosef is 26-27 years old from what I assume and unlike almost every other villain(or rather EVERY villain), he has not transcended the ages of self-development and just finding yourself in general. Almost every person says that their twenties are a time of passage and change, which is why most twenty year olds/young adults like myself feel like their lives are a chaotic mess.

I think that’s Iosef. He’s in his twenties, and he doesn’t really have a reputation. He still tries to find validation from other people such as Viggo in their scene talking about John in the bar, and in the Red Circle scene when Iosef gets angry Kirill refers to guarding him being equivalent to that of “babysitting”. Iosef has an ego which most likely stems from not getting that attention as a child or just not being able to formulate attention easily; maybe this is a result of Viggo spoiling him to hell because he didn’t know how to parent or it could be a sign Viggo neglected him. Both of which are likely knowing how crime families work, which have tremendous amounts of abuse from the head of the family and the members surrounding it.

Anyways yeah those are my thoughts on Iosef. Thank you for the ask :D

If you want more Iosef content there’s an rp account run by my friend @babayagaiscomingforya who also wrote a detailed description of his stance on Iosef. The rp account is @/tarasov-gaming which I won’t tag since I already tagged the author. I think if you send her an ask he’ll drop the Iosef character profile lol. She also has a Viggo character profile for the roleplay, and both files are detailed and extremely interesting in terms of viewing both Viggo and Iosef, and both files get into how their relationship works.

какой твой любимый вкус энергии монстров?

figured i’d ask this straight to the source 💜

(apologies if my russian is rlly bad i’m learning 🥶)

Depends on the vibe, you know? If I'm just out in the street I will probably get zero ultra or ultra black as it goes down a bit easier with less sugar and all, these are my favorite "zero" variations. My fridge next to the PC is full of the classic and nitro can't never go wrong with the classics! I also kinda like pipeline punch but like...don't tell anyone

OOC: Don't worry about your Russian! It is a really difficult language to learn so honestly shout outs to you even trying. Can't imagine learning this mess of a language from scratch. If you want some pointers for this sentence specifically: - When talking about energy drinks we call them "энергетик" or plural "энергетики" - Monster in this context is a name so it's just a noun without declension which would be "монстр" - Also, we don't really say Monster Energy we just say Monster so honestly you can just cut the "energy" part completely and that'll be fine

what do u think iosefs favorite monster energy flavor is?

I don’t drink Monster energy but let’s ask him!

Hey Iosef, what flavor do you like? 😊🎤

This is my RP account for Iosef Tarasov. Me playing as him doesn't mean I condone every bad thing he has done. He's an antagonist, as most JW characters, for a reason. I am in fact Russian with English as my second language so feel free to ask questions/interact in Russian with this blog.

Don't take me too seriously as Iosef is heavily headcanonized for the sake of being able to play as him despite not having any info in canon whatsoever.
