a confessions blog for the hatoful boyfriend fandom. by the pigeon and for the pigeon! est. 2025 ran by mod mino and mod iwamine.

inspired by the minimal resurgence of the hatoful boyfriend fandom and confessions blogs in general, i thought- why not combine my latest fixation and fascination and kickstart a brand new blog just for the occasion?

" Hbf fandom got a disproportionate amount of Yumes compared to any other fandom I've ever been in but tbh I'm here for it. Go, kiss those birds. Be free "

" I ALSO hate all the shipping, but I DO enjoy Yuuyanghel one sided desperate pining. I think Anghel is allowed to be desperately in love with that man, and to never get anything back. Thank you. Submitted for the approval of the midnight council. "

" People forget because his life is so sad that Nageki is Brutal. He is a little sassy bitch. Sad trauma character = sassy little deadpan bitch is so choice. Thank you Moa you genius. I love him "

" When I first played Hatoful Boyfriend as a preteen, I was in love with Nageki. Then the secind time I replayed it as a teenager, I found that I had fallen desperately in love with Yuuya. Now, as an adult, I replay the games again, and find that only thing I care about is dissecting whatever the fuck is happening with Hitori Uzune. "

" I have been so horribly hyperfixated on quail boyfriends that it has completely ruined my productivity. Every waking moment I think about them doing some gay bullshit. I've written what must be over 50k words at this point within the past two months of them either being so sickeningly cute and fluffy or making each other unbelievably worse. I struggle to draw anything that isn't them. Every day I spill tears over MIRROR being stuck in development hell. Each night I pray that tomorrow will be the day we finally receive joyous news of the game's release. I have shit I need to do with my life, and instead I'm fudanshing out over some toxic bird yaoi.

" One time, I was looking at Absolute Zero - the Forbidden Epic of Fallen Angels' shop page and I saw it was apparently frequently bought with "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters" and that made me sad, especially as someone who headcanons Anghel as transmasc. "

" i feel like i wouldn't mind the topic of papaiwa so much if the fandom acknowledged that it's fucked up that the two met and spent the most time when isa was a teenager like if it was just "isa saw him a few times as a kid and they reunited when they were older" that would be one thing but isa spent his formative years with that guy. at least acknowledge the grooming aspect to it if you won't "they met as adults" au your way out of this "

" i think im at least in the top 50 kazuaki likers worldwide. both real and fake. like woah what an interesting characters. these quails haunt my brain forever and ever "

" Call me Kazuaki Nanaki by the way I'm only motivated to do things if I imagine Hitori Uzune asking me to do them " - submitted anonymously.

" I accidentally made Moa hate me and now I live in guilt ... " - submitted anonymously.

[hatokare-confessions]

" I headcanon Azami as Indonesian because I've seen people headcanoning Anghel as Philippinian because his bird actor is an endemic bird belonged to Philippines and i just found out her bird actor is Java sparrow that were from Indonesia " - submitted anonymously.

[hatokare-confessions]

" I think that Kazuaki Nanaki really didn't know he was Hitori during most of the game and only remembered at some point during BBL. The "eating his eyes" thing in Holiday Star would be referencing how he sacrificed his own perception of himself, either to be better at pretending or to avoid guilt. This is mostly based on one of the CD drama I forgot which one There are some elements that seems to contradict that, such as his hatred for Shuu and the fact he dies his hair, so I think he still had some of his memories as Hitori. " - submitted anonymously.

[hatokare-confessions]

" I really like all the fat Shuu art in this fandom because it feels more logical and in character because if he was meant to be skinny why did they specifically use a fat partridge for his sprite when theres plenty of skinny ones. I specifically have to look up FAT chukar partridge to find ones like him because just looking up chukar partridge gives me skinny ones " - submitted anonymously.

" as someone with schizoid personality disorder, I (used to) relate to iwamine quite a lot, mostly because of his 'chrysalis' storybook in holistar. I think of it as part of my emo teenager phase but still find myself reflected when I write about him '-- " - submitted anonymously.

" New game idea. Ryouta x sakuya except it's like the Odyssey. Sakuya goes about the ending of the war and travels for a cure all to get back home to his wife (Ryouta). Has to travel through different obstacles, similar to the ones seen in holiday star. In the end he comes back to Ryouta, cures him, and they kiss ❤️ " - submitted anonymously.
