Hey, I think there might be a bug with your current avatar...

Also, uh, working on adding emotes here!

Waiting for someone to ID it...

Looking forward to the kawaii emotes.

Inyouchuu Lover since ~2005~

Well, one of my all-time favorite ongoing OMORI fanfics, an epic tale in which Sunny and the gang effectively become demon hunters, just unapologetically dropped an absolutely-on-the-nose Inyouchuu reference. And I am freaking cheering for it!

What was it?

This is the fanfic. And if you're looking for the reference, jump to the latest chapter and CTRL-F for "horse". A few chapters ago, the writer introduced a character that sounded a lot like a certain girl we know... and it seems he's going all-in, haha.

Small world haha. Clearly this author knows some Inyouchuu.

Well now I've gotta play Omori so this fanfic makes enough sense for me.

It was an incredible experience for me, if a bit on the longer side (probably 20-24 hours for the main/good route). I suppose everyone's impression of it will be a little different, but for me the story was a nuclear gut punch that I still haven't forgotten five years later.

I will say, if the general concept sounds interesting enough to play - an RPG with a cute and playful exterior over a tale of fear, trauma, and guilt - then I would very very much suggest that you avoid looking up too much about it. There are certain MAJOR spoilers that you really have to experience first hand; one can probably still enjoy the game knowing them, but the discovery is second to none.

He does! I was honestly amazed when I found that out last year, and he knows way more of it than I expected, too. I have a feeling it's increasingly on his mind now, maybe thanks to me sharing my fics with him including the current WIP Faraway Town Exorcism Record.

Now that I think of it, I suppose that's also a prerequisite for the full experience of my own upcoming fic. It has now passed 60K words and is mixing the lore of these two franchises surprisingly well.
