I think the basic picture of the Humanity sprite itself resembles a vagina but I may just be dirty minded. The resembolence is interesting to me though because all of the firekeepers are women. This might also explain where "Estus" gets it's name from, the "Estrus" cycle is used to describe the physiological changes that happen to females due to reproductive hormones.
or you know all humans come from vaginas to be human is to slide out of a vag

That is obviously a silhouette of a human you idiot. My brain is a fucking toilet and I can see that.

I believe its because humans are creatures of the abyss that are actually the reason you need to link the flame at all. Basically we're the bad guys in dark souls 1

That's bio, idiot. As in the source of life. As in the sun in your very damn gif.

All three games are actually about Humanity/the Dark Souls. "Souls" are just a currency and not particularly important to the story.
Dark Souls 1: The age of Dark is coming because it's the last great soul that's still at full power. In the DLC you go to fight the embodiment of the Dark Souls power.
Dark Souls 2: You fight Nashandra, who's a fragment of the Dark Soul and a lot of important plot points relate to the Dark Souls fragments, such as the Giant invasion.
Dark Souls 3: Age of Dark is coming again, pretty much the same plot as DS1. DLC has you fighting over the Dark Souls directly against the games final boss.

Robert Davis
The lore for dark souls is generally vague, but I don't think it ever specifically says where humans came from. It's possible that humans already existed, like Dragons and the Gods and the Witches, and one of them (the Fertive Pygmy) happened to get his hands on a Great Soul.
Or maybe Fertive Pygmy made humans using the Dark Soul. It's not clear.
Logan Young
You guys ever notice how the basic silhouette of a human is the shape of a vagina? I thought that was interesting.
Nathan Hernandez
It's implied that we did, yeah.
Logan Perry
I bet you're fat and unhealthy without that vaginal microbiome innoculation, nerd.

Nicholas Perez
Humanities are Dark Souls. The Furtive Pygmy, ancestor of the protagonist and possibly all humans, found what Kaathe called "The Dark Soul of Man", so I think humanity came from that.
Justin Kelly
Shit nigga. And have you noticed how people are goddamn dicks? We're dicks inside vaginas. DEEPEST FUCKING LORE

Other people may not remember this meme, but I do. Still doesn't make it funny, bucko.

>Once, the Lord of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from Humanity. And men assumed a fleeting form. These are the roots of our world. Men are but props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite, a lie will remain a lie.

Adrian Moore
>all this Freud faggotry
What cravenly hollow postulating. A much less forced interpretation of souls is that it is a stoic narrative about the power of will(souls). The stoic themes have much more substantiation than this trite "hurr aren't doors vagina shaped?" faggotry.
Ayden Ward
Humans are really just fragments of the Dark Soul inside a body, that's why the little black sprites are called humanities. The physical bodies can exist without us, as evidenced by a the hollows you find. The gods are the same thing, just regular bodies but powered by the Light Soul. The difference is Gwyn only shared the light soul's real power with a few friends and family, whereas the pygmy shared the dark soul with all human kind.
They have a white outline so you can see them against dark backgrounds.

Gwyn sealed humans with the darksign to weaken them, which is why they "assumed a fleeting form" of hollows who are bound to bonfires. Dying makes you lose your humanity and become hollow again.
Jayden Hughes
they consume humans it's the same reason why certain female corpses drop twin humanities and why beating Quelaag drops a twin humanity
Gavin Brown
I hate how people try to push freudian analysis in a japanese game

>it's the same reason why certain female corpses drop twin humanities and why beating Quelaag drops a twin humanity Wait, Quelaag was pregnant? Someone fucked the Spider Bitch? Nice!
Tyler Wright
But being Hollow isn't "fleeting", it's permanent. Aldia was describing life as we know it, which only lasts as long as your Humanity.
Liam Hernandez
Japan loves early 20th century psychology. Just look at the Persona series.
Christian Williams
That or the weird spider thing on the lower half of her body was a human at one point that got mutated into her or something
Dylan Campbell
the hollowification is only permanent as long as the age of fire persists.Once it ends theres no more fire to sustain the curse and the freed humans can begin their age of dark.
Levi Ross
Despite the name, I think Persona is much more a reflection on how japanese people deal with their innerselves vs society than any western theory
Michael Phillips
The fleeting form is mortality. He sealed the dark so that humans would be weak and mortal. The true nature of humanity is fragments of the dark soul, we're creatures of the abyss. Humans having plain humanoid forms, living normal lives, dying of old age ect... is the tender lie.
Undead hollow out because their bodies don't rot away, causing them to last longer than their weak, sealed dark soul does.
Gwyn also cursed humanity to feed the fire forever. The linking of the first flame didn't just prolong the age of fire, it made the flame require human sacrifice to burn. It NEEDS to consume the dark soul to keep going now, regular souls don't sate it, that is what the First Sin was.

Don't forget that humanity degenerates you after overdose.

The entire premise of the game is third worlder "undead" getting control over the world and white "lords" trying to prolong their age of fire.
How could you miss that?
