# Sunday's "Charmony Dove" Copypasta Sunday's "Charmony Dove" Copypasta is a Honkai Star Rail brainrot bit built around the character Sunday's long speech about rescuing a baby dove with his sister. Fans turned the monologue into a running joke after noticing Sunday brings up the dove three times inside a single hour of in-game dialogue. By October 2024, r/HonkaiStarRail threads were collecting translations of the speech in Chinese, Spanish and other languages after Sunday was announced as a playable character. ## Origin The monologue comes from a Honkai Star Rail cutscene posted to YouTube by Gaming With Abyss on May 7, 2024, which collected more than 11,000 views across the following six months[1]. In the scene, Sunday recounts the dove incident as a parable about whether to protect a fragile life through control or let it face nature, foreshadowing his in-game decision to pick "Order" over "Harmony" and take a villain role[5]. The earliest known post that strips the speech into standalone copypasta form is a September 8, 2024 submission to r/copypasta by u/stxrrynights240, titled "Sunday's Charmony Dove Monologue (HSR)," which collected more than 200 upvotes over the next two months[2]. - **Platform:** Honkai Star Rail cutscene (YouTube clip) / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown (Hoyoverse wrote Sunday's dialogue; Redditor u/stxrrynights240 posted the earliest known copypasta version) - **Date:** 2024 ## Overview 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 bird[5]. 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 again[7][4]. Translated versions in Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages later circulated so non-English speakers could spam the bit in their own fandom spaces[8]. ## How It Spread Momentum built across r/HonkaiStarRail in late September 2024. On September 22, u/Fancy-Shopping-327 posted a short bird-themed joke titled simply "bird," which collected over 9,000 upvotes within two months and became one of the first widely upvoted takes on the running gag[3]. A day later, u/libertoasz posted an absolutenutcase162 edit to r/SundayMainsHSR making fun of Sunday's compulsive dove references, picking up more than 900 upvotes[4]. Some fans pushed back as the bit kept recurring. In late September 2024, u/oatmealcookie02 posted to r/HonkaiStarRail with a Say The Line Bart edit of Sunday and a caption calling the meme "forced," though the post itself passed 2,000 upvotes and only added to the gag[7]. Traction picked up again once Hoyoverse confirmed Sunday as an upcoming playable character in early October 2024. An October 7 leaks post on r/HonkaiStarRail_leaks about his likely introductory voice line saw commenters spam the copypasta in multiple languages underneath[6]. The next day, a dedicated r/HonkaiStarRail thread asked users to drop every translation they could find, producing a running archive of localized versions of the dove speech[8]. ## How to Use 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 unprompted[7]. Non-English speakers typically swap in a translated version of the monologue to run the same joke inside their own regional subreddits and Discord servers[8]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Sunday's "Charmony Dove" Copypasta?
