<![CDATA[Inyouchuuverse - All Forums]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/ Tue, 28 Jul 2026 20:19:56 +0000 MyBB <![CDATA[New Theme is Live!]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=58 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 02:23:30 +0000 Ellie]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=58 Our new site theme, designed to vaguely resemble the user interface of some of the games, is now officially live as the default theme for all users!

There is still plenty of work to be done on features, as well as updating some back areas of the site to use the new styling, but it's reached the point of being functional enough.

Some areas, such as the full reply composer and some User Control Panel screens, still display the old theme's elements, which generally work on desktop and are often terrible on mobile. Other areas are partially finished and may have some issues. I'll be working on this as quick as I have time.

If you have too many problems with the new theme, you can go to your User Options screen and switch back to the "blue-dark" board style with the last dropdown box. Though, if you choose to do this, I'd appreciate some feedback down below as to what gave you trouble so we can address it. Things like color and background choices may become an option later on, for those who would rather a different aesthetic or a light mode.

That's all for now. Enjoy the site, everyone!

]]> <![CDATA[Ellie's Oddly Wholesome Fics]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=56 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 03:02:07 +0000 Ellie]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=56 Inyouchuu is a series about tentacles, terrified girls being impregnated with giant larvae, and powerful monsters inflicting horrors beyond human comprehension.

So naturally, somebody's gotta write some PG-rated fanfics about it!

I covered my contributions in the general writing thread previously, but I figured why not combine all my work into one thread? So here's a list of my limited existing creations, along with things I'm planning in the future. In case this wasn't already clear to new readers, I don't generally have the energy and drive to write explicit content except in very rare cases. Most of the stories below leave the graphic details to your imagination, even the ones that do specifically feature H scenarios.

  • Demon Hunting Takes Balls of Steel
    https://archiveofourown.org/works/72385346
    At present, this is easily my best fanfic to date (for any source material), and while it misses a few bits of canon and takes some creative liberties, it's still something I was proud to pour my heart into. DHTBoS is set in a hypothetical AU after the events of Inyouchuu The Animation, or more specifically a variation in which Mikoto's plot to defeat Nightmare in Episode 2 was successful. Two months after escaping with their lives, the Black Cats go on to cleanse a haunted pub that turned out to be unable to pay their exorcism bill and offered them a broken pinball machine as alternative payment. Now they're stuck learning how to nurse it back to health in hopes of making extra income at a local restaurant, while still taking demon-hunting jobs to stay afloat. Along the way, they gradually learn to cope with the trauma they suffered in the ill-fated Shunjuu Academy job. Meanwhile, Nightmare - who had been wounded but not killed - plots his return and his revenge on the girls.

  • A Black Cat in Faraway Town
    https://archiveofourown.org/works/64295194
    Don't jump into this one yet.
    I'll come right out and say it: This fic is okay. At best. Looking back, over a year after writing, it feels like a naive attempt to shove a favorite character into another favorite series without much thought as to how to make it interesting. The premise is simple; Mikoto missteps during a one-on-one fight with Nightmare, uses a seal to open an escape portal, and accidentally throws herself into the supernatural realm offscreen in the heavily emotional RPG OMORI. From there, a certain deceased spirit points out the safe exit - but now she's stuck in the town of Faraway Town without any magical energy in her ofudas to get home. This leads to her becoming something of a spectator on a few canon events of the final day of the game, while putting together a way back and worrying about whether any familiar monsters will show up.

    Click to Toggle Spoiler
    They do show up, in fact, but the capture of major character Aubrey only leads to a scare for her before she is rescued untouched.
    After she makes it back to her realm, it is revealed that Mikoto crossed dimensions entirely, and Inyouchuu is normally a work of fiction in that universe. As I said, it's okay at best. It punches limply and misses many opportunities to take advantage of canon elements.

  • Kitchen Nightmares
    One of two fics actively in progress right now. The premise for this one is that during a hunt through a possessed mansion, Mikoto finds herself trapped in a kitchen that seems to have become a sealed pocket dimension - and who else could she be stuck there with but Lord Nightmare? Despite a clear instinct to have his way with her, Nightmare informs her that he's been stuck there long enough that he's willing to work with her on finding a way out. Mikoto soon realizes that the only way to dissipate the dimensional barrier is to feed it specific meal requests, leading to her and her archenemy having a cooking session together. This fic idea was conceived and birthed in the comments of EchelonV's first fic, and it already has the intro written as well as the ending. I just have to, you know, write that whole big part in the middle.

  • Faraway Town Exorcism Record
    Imagine if A Black Cat in Faraway Town was actually good... and you have this one. Still very much an active work in progress but already long beaten DHTBoS in length. This fic is a darker interpretation of a very old OMORI-only fic I wrote called Do you want to have a picnic with MARI? In that fic, the titular Mari - who, in canon, tragically passed away four years before the game's present day - tries to depart through the curtains to the great beyond after one last chat with her brother in a dream, but accidentally releases an ancient, dying eldritch god who chooses to grant her the power to resurrect herself.
    Now, imagine that same scenario except this time she accidentally opens a portal into the Inyouchuu tentacle dimension. Nightmare crosses into the dream world of Headspace, finds it far more uncomfortably powerful than expected, and uses it to leap into the dreams of other nearby people. Who, you may ask? His first victim is Aubrey, of course, the pink-haired miniskirted tsundere, who endures the Inyouchuu The Animation Ep 1 experience (albeit mostly implied) and wakes up pregnant with one of our favorite giant demon larvae. From there, her rekindling friend group understandably freaks out, leading them to seek out help and eventually making contact with the Black Cat agency. Fearing Nightmare's potential return and takeover of the entire town, the Black Cats find a way to pay a visit and investigate in person. I cannot wait until this fic is ready to share, because I am loving how it's turning out.

  • Inyouchuu Meltdown Hakyoku: Exorcism Record of the Apocalypse
    I'm going to keep the details of this one under wraps for the moment, but at this point I'm planning for this to be the first "VN script" fic that will be featured on this site with branching choices and a somewhat VN-inspired reading experience. For now I will merely say the story stars Mikoto's daughter, and this one will, in fact, have explicit H scenes!

]]> <![CDATA[New Features, Bug Reports]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=55 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:38:29 +0000 Ellie]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=55 I wanted to finally make a proper thread for general site improvements. So below is my current roadmap for Inyouchuuverse in the near future! I will gradually update this as these things get implemented, and add anything I've forgotten.

Any feedback is absolutely welcome from all of you, whether feature requests or bug reports. If this list gets too long to manage, I'll make a fresh thread later. Thank you all for your patience as we make this web community happen!

Major Features Planned:

  • Fully integrated wiki with universal info panels and page links from forum. I want the wiki experience to seamlessly coexist with the forum without feeling like you're on a whole different website. This means rendering straight on a forum page in the same style, using your existing logged-in session.
    One thing I would like to do is parse forum pages for exact names of wiki pages, for example "Kikuka Tsukishiro," and turn those into links to the pages with hover tips briefly summarizing the entry. A relatively unobtrusive way to promote our future all-encompassing lore reference.
    Another feature is the info panel. Lots of wikis have summary panels, and I think if I put all commonly-used attributes into the wiki page database, then users could easily search wiki pages by anything from game release dates to character hair colors.

  • User Creations submission. A dedicated section, highlighted on the front page much like the news box in the beta theme, where users can submit fanart, fics, etc.
    Submissions can track likes/upvotes/kudos, and could use auto-generated hidden threads to effectively have a full comments section. Multiple pages/images/scenes would also be supported, with each having their own settings for marking NSFW or limiting to registered users only for more privacy.

  • Reader for VN-style scripts. The idea here is to offer story browsing in a similar format to browsing posts in a thread, with character names/portraits and dialogue. Scenes or chapters can be separated automatically into different pages, with branching choices being possible for multiple endings. Each scene can also have its own comments section as well.
    This will eventually be one way of experiencing the upcoming fan translations, and I could add the ability for users to submit their own fanfics in VN-inspired script format.

  • Optionally displaying posts as a feed. I had this idea not too long ago but I think some of you might appreciate this. An alternate display option for the main page, which instead of displaying forum categories, displays actual posts along with the last comment (or first unread comment if applicable). This would include general forum threads as well as user creations, making a layout that may be more familiar if you're used to modern social platforms. It would, of course, always be left to your choice whether to view the forum in classic category view or as a feed.

Bugs/QoL/minor edits:

  • Theme integration improvements such as better dividers between threads and categories. Ongoing

  • Spoiler and NSFW text block tags, with message composer buttons to add them automatically. NSFW does not show to unconfirmed guests. NSFW images should not have nested warnings, i.e. if you click open a NSFW text block, then any images within it should just get shown instead of having to click them too. Spoiler blocks will redact individual lines of text that you can mouse-over to reveal, unless the spoiler contains multiple lines or images in which case it'll get a click-to-reveal block. Spoilers are fully implemented now, NSFW still needs further implementation.

  • Aojiru-themed smileys. It should also be easy enough to adapt the New Reply smileys selection box into the Quick Reply composer to make them more intuitively available in casual conversation. There are a few of them available in the extended smiley box, but this still needs to be finished and made more cohesive.

Completed Tasks:

  • {DONE} Go live with the new theme! Anyone can access the beta theme now, via the dropdown in the site footer, but it's still unfinished and needs some pages worked on before I'll consider it fully usable. Once the main user experience is under the new theme and fully compatible with both desktop and tablet, I'll call it done enough to switch all users and guests over. We have officially switched over! This does mean that my bad habit of testing changes on the live site has to be with a bit more care now, but in general I think it's become a much better experience for new guests.

  • {DONE} Deleted post placeholder is shifted weirdly with user info still hanging off the side. This might only be noticeable to admins, but it irritates me. Fixed! The placeholder is styled correctly and the actual post is fully hidden now.

  • {DONE} Quick Reply box doesn't clear after posting. An annoying quirk I'm seeing in non-Default styles that still needs fixing. As featured in an early post below, this was a surprisingly convoluted fix that had to address two separate issues at once, but it seems to be all good now.

  • {DONE} Just saw an issue where the chat Edit feature didn't populate the input box, so I overwrote my old message with a new one I tried to send. The default functionality of the RTChat plugin expects the message entry box to exist on the same scope level as the rest of the form, whereas the new theme throws it into a styled "itemborder" box. Interestingly, the plugin did not fail in this way when sending messages, only when editing, so the fix was easy to figure out.

  • {DONE} Robots.txt settings against AI scrapers. Obviously this is not foolproof, since AI bros flagrantly disregard the consent of others (like demons on girls, but more tasteless), but it's at least something. Complete, we'll see how it goes.

  • {DONE} Disable user registration until 18+ form is passed. It just makes sense, and since most sites don't require clicking a specific form button before registering, this will continue to be a nice hurdle for spambots. Aaaand done. Registration only works on the new theme now, so uh... I think it might be time to switch.

  • {DONE} Option for vertical site layout on wide desktop. Shrinking the window or viewing on mobile forces a vertically-stacked layout for all elements, but I will also add an option to force this on wider screens for those who prefer it that way. This is now officially an option in your Edit Settings section. I may add more layout customization in the future though.

]]> <![CDATA[Names of Ship Pairings]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=54 Wed, 27 May 2026 12:29:50 +0000 Ellie]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=54 All right, just a goofy little fun idea I had recently while working on a fanfic. Most fandoms name their character ships by just putting the two (or more) names together, sometimes in very clever ways. Like the Bennet x Fischl shippers of Genshin (BenneFischl) or the ones who support Katniss x Peeta from Hunger Games (KatPee... or PeeNiss).

But there's one community off the top of my head that does things a little differently, and that's my beloved emotional wrecking ball, OMORI. Shippers of Sunny x Aubrey generally refer to the ship as Sunburn; Sun is not only part of Sunny's name, it's used in reference to him (as in, for instance, "The sun shined brighter when she was here"). Burn refers to Aubrey's fiery personality. The whole title doubles as a reference to when Sunny fell asleep on a car ride from the beach and his head rested on Aubrey's shoulder (while feeling "the tinge of tomorrow's sunburn").

This ship name spiraled into an entire suite of very imaginative names for other possible pairings as well. This includes Bushfire (Basil x Aubrey, Basil being a gardener), Suntan (Sunny x Kel, with Kel being an outdoorsy Latino), Baseball (Kel x Aubrey, Aubrey is based and Kel plays basketball), and the very popular Sunflower (Sunny x Basil). And then there's the fully established canon ship, Hero x Mari, which fans usually call... uh... HeroMari.

Anyhow, thinking about this made me wonder: If we followed the same sort of naming conventions, what would we call the various possible ships of Inyouchuu? And so I made a few of them up! Feel free to suggest better ones or think of more; this is just a few I thought of right away.

  • Mikoto x Yamato: Sex&Violence (Yamato is horny, Mikoto is a violent tsundere)
  • Mikoto x Sui: Rainstorm or Thundershower (Mikoto has thunder/lightning magic, Sui has water magic)
  • Takeru x Sui: Typhoon (Takeru has wind magic)
  • Nightmare x Mikoto x Sui: Midnight Rainstorm
  • Ouka x Kikuka: Gardeners (Ouka means "cherry blossom", Kikuka means "chrysanthemum")
  • Yamato x Kikuka: Deflowered
  • Meioki x Kikuka: Stockholm (Syndrome, i.e. Kikuka was under Meioki's captivity for ten years)

Added from later in this thread:

  • Rinko x Sui: Waterfox (Rinko has a fox transformation)
  • Rinko x Kyoko: Double Tails
  • Meioki x Ouka x Kikuka: Y-Junction (Meioki has a two-for-one deal on offspring-seeding organs, and you can figure out the rest from there)

]]> <![CDATA[New Subforum Called Announcements!]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=53 Mon, 18 May 2026 16:48:24 +0000 Ellie]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=53 And what a very self-evident announcement to make, really!

I thought it'd be good to have an area dedicated to major new stuff going on. Given the speed of official and fandom activity, I'd doubt this will happen very often, but now we're ready when it does.

One of my planned ideas for the forum homepage is a banner highlighting the latest entry in this announcements subforum, as a sort of instant news section for community visitors. Probably the easiest way to handle creating those posts in the first place is just having a forum for them. And since this is ultimately just a thread like any other, it'll allow for everyone's comments as well, though making new posts here is locked to admins and mods.

]]> And what a very self-evident announcement to make, really!

I thought it'd be good to have an area dedicated to major new stuff going on. Given the speed of official and fandom activity, I'd doubt this will happen very often, but now we're ready when it does.

One of my planned ideas for the forum homepage is a banner highlighting the latest entry in this announcements subforum, as a sort of instant news section for community visitors.

Nice, the first one was pretty solid.

This might postpone more Inyouchuu news again for the year though...

https://x.com/jastusa/status/2051512985055862975

So I'm guessing it maybe sold good, I know he was surprised in the Discord, initially. But it's maybe tapered off now...

I've had it plugged as my X site ever since it released lol. 

We can gift people JAST purchases now and I will probably definitely do so sometime. But that skews the data a bit too if it's just a few of us buying it...

So yeah, wish they had better marketing and us more connections. I'm not sure if that one YouTuber did it any help, who kind of just made fun of the game.

[NSFW]]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=50 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 16:01:57 +0000 EchelonV]]> https://inyouchuuverse.net/showthread.php?tid=50 Since the Kyou era I've been able to import a lot of official merchandise over the years. I originally used ShoppingMallJapan (RIP) to scout out auctions and get some stuff. This was useful to get a bunch of second hand items. Lot of rare gems then. But after that I started using WhiteRabbitExpress (JapanRabbit now) to import "New" releases, they don't do live auctions and I've never really found a replacement for SMJ since, but thankfully haven't really needed it. Then I dared to do a bunch of custom posters, using waifu2x to upres images and such as some know with my IRL cave.

Naturally 99% of the merchandise is horny. So instead of spoiling a bunch in this thread, I'm putting up the warning here now and in the thread title. 

Can start with some cute stuff.

Really sexy acrylics. It's still odd to me during this era they didn't do any for the rest of the girls. I guess most of the other plaques and merch were the main four, so Ouka and Kikuka got some extras like this.

Along with PSP releases of Shoku (the game in remote control playback style), Shoku OVA (with the bonus episode), the Etsu artbook, Aojiru Works, and a few telecards.

This is Kurehashi Aiko's playthrough of Etsu, through MTL, transcribed into Word and posted in Tentacle Lair. I left this mostly untouched, but made the formatting a bit more readable and added chapter selection for the 13 scenes that are present.

This is not the entire game! It gets as far as Bad End 1 and then cuts off, unfortunately. However, it does have quite a bit of lore and stuff in here, so I think a few of you will appreciate having this.

With the other main one I made awhile back more for generic talk or sharing.

Consider me the pure bad end writer and fully focused on sexual scenes. 

  • Mikoto & The Giant Spiderdemon / https://archiveofourown.org/works/77095761 - This is a fairly straight to the point bad ending with Mikoto and Gyuki, kind of English-fying one of my favorite Kyou/Mikoto scenes in general.
  • A loose sequel with Takeru captive at the same time, who ends up getting a mutant cock of sorts temporarily connected to her vagina/body. Her demonic organs and the evil Gyuki cave programming her to give Mikoto some "love" and lean into all her desires. It's rare I do futa/lesbo stuff, but this ended up being kind of a fun self-insert in ways haha. I still need to polish and finish it.
  • Meioki x Loli Takeru, essentially. This one has spiraled into a few chapters. I kind of went with a vague bad ending with the Spiderdemon story and why do I almost lean that way here too? I wonder if I could make two final chapters for the viewer to decide.

After that, some loose ideas...

  • Sui x Rinko fun
  • More birthing focus (shorter story right to the point?) something I want to do more and get better at
  • Get Asagi or Momoko the Inyouchuu Treatment!

Maybe someday a viewers choice and collection of ideas would be fun. But then I get selfish and just want to do my own twisted ideas.  Rolleyes

But come on. There are easier ways to prettify our posts.

Now, there's certainly a lot of things about Discord that I'm not a fan of, but one thing that is pretty cool is that it uses something akin to Markdown syntax. That means it allows you to add things like bold text, italicized text, struck-out text, and:

  • Lists
  • Of
  • Items

but to add those things, you don't even have to:

  1. Click
  2. Any
  3. Buttons

The brilliant thing about implementing this into the site backend is that you get all those new formatting features without really having to select or learn anything. Using asterisks for emphasis makes sense even in plain text (it turns to italic now), two asterisks around a word or phrase sets it off more (in Markdown it turns to bold), and using - or 1. for lists is also pretty straightforward.

I haven't put the new code in place for the quick reply composer yet - which will make this functionality even easier to understand and use - but that's coming, and for now you can already use the features I've listed above easily enough. It also works in the chat!
