Searching for my Hatoful Boyfriend in all the wrong places

” I sort of, enjoyed the whimsical nature of existing within a world of intellectual high thinking birds, whilst perhaps the adoption of human characteristics allowed certain familiarities to foster, the continual use of stock footage of the creatures in their natural form rendered any romantic sensibilities moot. ” Continue reading Searching for my Hatoful Boyfriend in all the wrong places
