Your entire channel feels like I'm chatting with a crazy guy at the bus stop at like midnight and just desperate for the bus to arrive so i can leave. Never change H.M.M., never change <3
Low key one of my fav lore channels. It’s wild how chill you can make it feel while talking about lords of cinder and scholars of the first sin and shit.
Regarding Ludleth, I do think he probably didn't cut off his own legs, but rather his legs burnt off during the linking of the flame. The trauma he carries, the nightmares he has, it points to his linking being less than pleasant. We even learn from Friede - who failed to link the flame, that the burning was absolute agony.
