Emilia: Go to hell! 

Wrath: Where do you think I come from?

"Beyond life, beyond death. My love for you is eternal" -Thomas Cresswell

(Like or reblog, don't repost pls🖤)

HE WAS EXTRAORDINARY YALL

HE HAS HER IN A COMFORTABLE EMBRACE AND U EXPECT ME TO BE OKAY

I've said it before and I'm going to say it again -

A LOT OF YA WRITERS NEED TO TAKE A PAGE FROM THE "KERRI MENISCALCO BOOK OF MALE CHARACTERS" AND LEARN HOW TO WRITE DARK, MYSTERIOUS AND YET NON-TOXIC MALE LEADS.

YOU CAN BE COLD WITHOUT BEING A COMPLETE JERK AND THERE CAN BE BANTER WITHOUT MAKING REMARKS ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO RAIL THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST.

YOUR MALE LEAD CAN HAVE SEXUAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THE FEMALE LEAD WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A PREDATOR.

Hell, even mephistopheles was a shit ton better than a lot of male protagonists we have and he was the manipulative one.

ms kerri maniscalco definitely made some points when she created thomas cresswell and wrath

The second hand embarrassment is bad for this one fellas,, I can’t even type. It took me 4 tries just to write the first sentence.

I’m reading kingdom of the cursed

And Wrath is bringing Emilia through the corridor of sin

The ILLUSION, i thought it was a dream but nope,, he heard her say his name. I’m dying of mortification for her.

“While your current illusion sounds wildly interesting” BOI IF U DONT STOPP 😭😭🫣 i’m only 33 pages in, how am i gonna deal with both wrath and pride interacting with Emilia😪

Emilia x Wrath [ Kingdom of the Wicked ]

" I understood why some thought kissing one of the Wicked was addictive. Each time his tongue touched mine, it felt as if the ground beneath me quaked. Like we were a cataclysmic event that shouldn't be."

“But yes, I was cursed by the First Witch….My penalty for not aiding her was steeper…” —Kingdom of the Cursed, chapter 33, page 404.

The craziest theory popped into my head as I read this line, and I just have to put it out there: what if La Prima helped kill her own daughters?

Again, I know this sounds wacky, but hear me out. Both in the prologue and in the line I quoted above, it’s clear the First Witch wanted Wrath’s help with something, yet it is never specified what she needed his assistance with. I think the prologue occurs either before Pride and his wife married, or shortly afterwards. Mainly because La Prima never mentions her daughters or their deaths, or even desiring revenge against any of the demon princes. She’s just angry that Wrath has continuously refused to assist her. So what if she wanted his help breaking up Pride and his wife? I mean, who better to ask than the devil himself, King of the Wicked?

Wrath does mention in KotW that La Prima kicked her daughter out of the coven after marrying Pride (I believe he says she actually ripped away her magic, but I’m going to have to double-check that quote). Anyway, if the First Witch was so displeased by one of her daughters marrying a demon to (possibly) rip away her magic, then what would stop her from either orchestrating her daughters death, or outright killing them herself? Especially since part of La Prima’s curse on Wrath promised to take away any sort of happiness he finds, and he does indeed seem to have been happy with Emilia’s previous reincarnation. I don’t think he would have taken Emilia to the Crescent Shallows in the hope that she might remember something if they were unhappy together.

TL;DR There is a good chance that La Prima killed her own daughters because they had both fallen in love with two of the Wicked, based on context clues and my mind going crazy trying to figure every part of this series out. (Also I’m super sorry if this seems messy, I just had this thought and wanted to get this written out before I forgot.)

Next up on my list of crazy theories: why Nonna is actually La Prima.

Wrath and Emilia - Kingdom of the Wicked

This is the second piece I did for @fairyloot I also I did the foiled design on the cover 😁 hope you guys will like it xoxo character is wrath from Kingdom of the wicked by @kerrimaniscalco

“La Prima, as you call her, commanded her daughter to give up her throne, and return to her coven, but she refused. The First Witch used the darkest kind of magic to remove her daughter’s power and banished her from the coven.” —Kingdom of the Wicked, chapter 30, page 242

So I was right, La Prima did rip away her daughter’s magic. Now the question becomes: did she do it solely because she was pissed at her daughter, or did La Prima do it in preparation of murdering her daughters (so they wouldn’t be able to fight back with their magic)?

(Also, my theory about why Nonna is the First Witch will be coming out tomorrow, if anyone is interested)

Next up on my list of crazy theories: why Nonna is actually La Prima.

“On this date—for nearly a decade now—the storm followed the same pattern….The devil demanded retribution. A blood sacrifice for power stolen.” —Kingdom of the Wicked, prologue, page 1

Again, I was right, and the devil’s wife and her sister being dead must have happened very recently in terms of the story—either shortly after the twins were conceive, or right before they were born. For a bit more context, this is the night of Emilia and Vittoria’s 8th birthday, so they are nearly a decade old now.

(Don’t mind the whole devil demanding retribution bit, I’m also using this picture for my Nonna theory)

“Several human years ago, something fractured the gates of Hell. We’d been told it was part of a prophecy….Then [Pride’s] beloved wife was murdered.” —Kingdom of the Wicked, chapter 30, page 242.

Okay, so I was doing a reread of Kingdom of the Wicked when I noticed this little section. Now I’m wondering: what is the timeline for this story (in regards to the curse)? My first thought when reading that something happened to the gates was when Emilia held both Vittoria’s amulet and her own when they were eight. But considering the fact that Kerri seems to be leaning very heavily into the reincarnation route, and given Nonna’s POV in the prologue, it seems more likely that Pride’s wife and her sister had already been dead for some time. So were the twins being conceived/born what weakened the gates? Especially since as an immortal, Wrath’s line of ”several human years ago” could actually mean “almost two decades ago,” and his mention of the prophecy is in relation to twin witches being born. But something about that just doesn’t really click together for me.
