Sunday's "Charmony Dove" Copypasta

Jokes in the format fixate on how Sunday, a Honkai Star Rail character, repeatedly brings up a childhood story about finding an abandoned baby dove with his younger sister and debating whether to shelter it where it lay or raise it in a cage. Players noticed he returns to the anecdote three separate times inside roughly an hour of story content, so Redditors began treating him as a man who cannot shut up about one specific bird5.

Typical posts fall into two shapes. The first is the full monologue copypasted word-for-word into any unrelated thread, opening with the line "One day, after dinner, while my younger sister and I were lounging about"2. The second is a reaction edit, often a Say The Line Bart or absolutenutcase162 template, where Sunday is depicted as unable to resist mentioning the dove again74. Translated versions in Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages later circulated so non-English speakers could spam the bit in their own fandom spaces8.

Common convention is to drop the entire multi-paragraph speech into a reply thread as a non-sequitur, often in response to a question that has nothing to do with birds. People also pair the quote with Sunday reaction images or Say The Line Bart edits where he is shown bringing up the dove unprompted7. Non-English speakers typically swap in a translated version of the monologue to run the same joke inside their own regional subreddits and Discord servers8.
