Karibaku is the kind of ship where there is zero difference between flirting and fighting.

Rarepair: hifue x kariage

Idea: no quirks AU + regular childhood friends thing. Hifue is a diplomat/business woman while kariage and yasushi work as choreographers. Both firms are nearby and both kariage and hifue go to eat regularly at a nearby diner where they manage to talk and fall in love at.

A redraw of lord KC's (@hitheryon 's server) karibaku child I did

A lil something I'm working on:

~~~

"YOU LIAR!" Katsuki screamed with fat tears rolling down his face and onto the ground. "Just tell me Kari! Be honest and stop trying to lie your way outta this!! If-if you really love her then...just be with this girl instead..." He sniffed as his voice went quiet

Kariage was still standing very confused and worried. 'What girl is Katsuki talking about? Does he think I'm cheating?' He thought to himself. "Katsu, baby, I really dont understand what you're talking about. Please dont cry,"

Bakugou looked at him with a tired glare, "Last night, you were mumbling something about a box, and love, and some girl named 'Hitako' when we went out for a dinner date. You got drunk and started saying dumb shit and I find out you've been cheating on me."

Suddenly all the dots align in Kariage's mind.

"You couldve just said you had a thing for someone else ya know? I would've bee-" Katsuki was caught off guard at Kariage's quite chuckles. 'DOES HE THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF JOKE?!'

Kariage pulled out a small box, like the ones meant for wedding rings. It was opened to reveal a ring that was black with a matte shine, it had a band of glimmering orange in the middle and a small engraved carving of an explosion around it as a pattern.

"I was gonna give this at our 5 year anniversary, baby, though seeing how upset you are now seems like a perfect time. Hitako is the name of the consultant who helped me design a ring to be custom made for you. I wasn't cheating on you, but I see how it can seem that way."

Oh. My. God.

Katsuki blushed as he finally figured out what was going on, with only the occasional sniffle and tear. His boyfriend of 5 years was going to propose to him.

so baku the best hewo in the fucking world was having cuddle time with his boyfriend that was Kari Kari and they loved each other like a lot and it's cool cuz they gay so super homo.

Bàks looked at karu and then kari's doki doki started beating hard cuz ka-kari luv bakugan

"I wuv u swo mwuch kariwari uwuwuwu" and then kaeiagee said "I wuv you two katsuwuwuwuki ówò"

And then they cuddled and loved each other forever cause I say they can and what I say is law lol the end

My first fic on AO3! If you need some fluff about 2 smitten fucks going on a date, here ya go!

i’m new to the karibaku life and have read Everything

any headcanons??

I have way too many so im gonna do a 3 in 1! Also thank you for the ask anon! <3

-

1: Leather Harnesses

Kariage who wears a pentagram harness on top of a dress shirt that has a bit of frills at the end of his sleeves, black leather pants and old brown ankle boots. I recently found out about harnesses for people and i am respectfully simping for the models on the images page. I think Bakugou would sometimes also wear them along side Kariage, but prefers to just see his boyfriend looking hotter than lava.

2: Tide pod Challenge

Do yall remember the tide pod challenge? So I was thinking right? It's how they found out Henshuu can turn into a washing machine if she eats one and shakes her body. Seika can make dried plants that can become fabric softener by grinding them into a paste using water. Hifue is tired of the medical bills they get from Yasushi and Kariage making them their laundry room. Katsuki was busy tryna figure out how he can use their chemical compounds in his body to further enhance his quirk, thus having no idea what's going. Kanji is wondering where the tide pods have gone back home.

3: Soulmate AU with Dumbasses

A soulmate AU but once you meet your soulmate, you feel pain if you are away from them for too long, same for them. Its like heartburn, or chronic pains/fatigue. So basically, Karibaku who are idiots and think its the cigarettes (Kariage's case) or spicy food (Bakugou's case) and tend to either clutch their chest or stomach depending on the pain. Since neither of them come from a relatively good household, visiting the doctor wasn't exactly an occurrence. They didn't realize they're each others soulmates until they meet up after like a month and the pain immediately stops. After talking a bit, they confirmed they do like each other and start dating.

I hope this was good for now, I definitely have a bunch more as well if you are interested in them! Have a nice day! 💕😊

📁 I only have this idea in my head, in which class 1-A is made to see "Dearh Note", all exepto katsuki are in favor of the justice of L, while Katsuki shares many ideals with kira.If you haven't seen Death note, don't worry, and your headcanons are incredibly beautiful.

Aww thank you so much! I have indeed seen death note and the class would definitely be concerned about how bakugou is able to convince them that it's a good idea.

But I have an entire list of hcs from discord that I have yet to put here so I'm gonna do that. Sorry anon!

I was listening to lindsey Sterling and now all I can think about is violinist kariage.

Just. This asshole can make any genre of music cool with his violin.

And bakugou be simping H A R D

Also there is something about shadows that make me want to envision kariage playing it while bakugou dances.

The katsucrew love seeing how bakugou will be lowkey (highkey) simping but if it's a calming tune then he is out like a light.

Dude can make any gremlin just fall asleep with his violin if he plays the right melody for it.

Bakugou goes to all of kariage's competitions and if he can't then he has one of the katsucrew send a video or audio recording if taking a video isn't allowed.

He's a sweetheart who hums to his beloved's tunes.

The class starts to wonder where these tunes that he sings comes from.

And find out that its kariage.

Some of them tease, others think it's cute, while the rest are jealous.

Hope ya like it! I know its not death note but I wanted to share this so badly.

Hc disney fanatic bkg.

He's basically the Thomas Sanders, Virgil or Roman of Class 1A. He lives for disney.

He can and will sing along to any and all songs from the movies. And shows.

Will definitely about sad parts or deaths.

Seeks comfort from the katsucrew and babbles to them.

And you know that scene from sander sides where they make a different ending for frozen and the whole analysis? Yeah that is katsucrew.

This boi is just loving Disney more than his bf.

And Kariage wont say anything because:

A) bkg is adorable and deserves the world.

B) he also loves disney.

C) There's no way he can tell anyone that he is jealous about movies, a whole ass company, for getting more attention of his boyfriend than he does.

Kanji is an angel to bkg cuz they watch together. But a demon to kari cuz she makes fun of him being jelly over shows.

Yeah that's it.

Hope you like it. Stay safe ❤❤❤

LITTLE BAKUGOU WITH CARETAKER KARIAGE

Let the boi be an age regresser and have his bf be a good lover!

Like bkg regresses to around 3-7 years (depends) and does it when overwhelmed.

He first read about it when he either clicked a wrong link or was internet surfing. He does it in the privacy of his room and is discreet about it.

Being the organized boy he is, he makes sure to segregate his little stuff for different ages. Kariage is the first one to find out about it. Towards the end of 2nd year in middle school.

Bkg got into a fight at school and it stressed him bad. He stayed huddled in a lesser used bathroom but kari found him shaking and babbling in a corner. He understood what to do somewhat.

After bkg calmed enough and went into his regular headspace he was so anxious that kari would stop dating him and tell everyone. Kari is an angel, supports him. Does more research on littles and helps bkg.

Bakugou eventually tells the others. They don't care much and are supportive. If kariage isnt available then bakugou turns to one of them.

I imagine shit happened after the remedial licensing stuff and bkg regresses infront of the class. The others think he's hit by a quirk.

They try calming him down but he doesnt have control over his quirk and keeps blasting people away with tears running down his face. He keeps asking for "Kage! Kariag-ge! I wan' him!"

Aizawa comes in and calm bkg enough to stop his quirk and go through his phone contacts. He does it all with bkg looking at the phone to see who is kariage. Once bkg sees his contact he lights up and points at it. They call.

"Suki? Baby what's wrong?" Bkg sobs hearing his caregiver's voice. "Need y-you..." "I'm on my way kitten, just 10 mins I?" "Okie...hurry" "...5 mins."

Kari gets there and calms him down enough to make him fall asleep. He turns to see worried classmates and teacher.

Kariage respects bkg's privacy and insecurities. He explains that no, bkg isnt hit by a quirk. No, y'all ask him. If he won't say then he won't.

A while passed and after bkg woke up and went through a panic attack or 2 abt the class finding out, he realized they didnt care...they were ok with it and happy that they might get to take care of him too.

Hell, even mineta went out of his way to not be pervy around him when regressed. It was pleasant.

That's how bb baku gets the love he deserves from caregiver bf kariage and supportive class 1-A and overprotective Dadzawa.

~~~

Hope this satisfies! Stay safe yall.

Ok so. Drunk Katsucrew.

So obviously there will be a hole in the wall bar somewhere and the adults there are gonna be all "aight ok go ahead but no puking"

Katsuki is the giggly drunk, total light weight.

Kariage is a really heavy weight so normally he doesn't get too drunk. Mainly tipsy. also cuz they are absolute monsters when they're drunk.

Hifue is semi weight and the crybaby type.

Mito is the confused/delirious type. She's kinda heavy weight.

Yasushi is the one who drinks the least but when he does he is the one who orders people around and calls them peasants, confuses others for different people.

Henshuu actually doesnt like drinking. But when she does she is pretty much the same. Just a bit more honest and loopy.

And Seika...oh fuck she's a menace.

She's the scary, angry, ready to kill drunk. The amount of times she's accurately thrown a knife at someone to go right next to their face. Just a millimeter away. SHES AN ABSOLUTE SADIST WHEN DRUNK.

She makes the group play weird games like truth or dare. Spin the bottle, 7 mins in heaven, who's the king. Lots of other crazy stuff. But who's the king is just depressing cuz she gets the king stick everytime.

Kariage wants to die from dealing with these absolute messes. But he lives for seeing giggly katsu who laughs at anything and is just plain adorable.

So yeah. He now Carries around a camera whenever they go drinking. He makes them watch the next day and everyone makes a compilation of the most embarrassing part. (kanji will definitely play them during their weddings)

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Also this was heavily inspired by Fairy Tail OVA 9.

Any fairy tail OVA or episode reminds me of katsucrew.

Hope you have a nice day and stay safe.

For your undercut verse, how did you come up with the names for Bakugou's friends from junior high? I love them!!!

Ooh!! Anon, how did you know I absolutely obsess over names?? Anyways!! For all the names, I use this handy-dandy little website called Tangorin. It's the absolute love of my life and it's saved me SO much time.

For most of the crew, I started out by picking out certain traits I wanted to be represented in their name, whether that pertains to physical appearance, personality, or Quirk. However, for some, I also picked names that were thematically sound or had certain reasoning behind the naming. Both of these are very reliant upon the kanji I use to spell the names, as well.

There are plenty of examples within the Katsucrew alone for all these reasonings, so I might as well just go over all of them, huh?

So, with Kariage, his name was actually pretty easy to come up with. For him, I was looking for a name with any particular meaning, I just wanted one that I could validly take Kariage from. As some of you already know, that's the name the Japanese fandom came up for him, courtesy of his hairstyle, and it's since become decently known in our little corner of the fandom. And thus, if you rearrange the name I created for him in the Western way, it'll give you ashiKARI AGEi.

Unintentionally, however, I did give him a name that represented him in some way. His surname has kanji that give meanings that align with his personality (relaxed, quiet), and his Quirk (in how he must apply many techniques, and often uses it to trick opponents). His first name also gives insight to what he'd do as an Underground Hero (hunt down criminals, raid villain bases, gather intel.)

With Kanji, her name came about due to it having a primarily thematic purpose. The kanji I used to spell it have the meaning of perfect motive, which in terms of importance to the story, emphasize how she, before all else, is the one who inspires Kariage to be the very best he can be. She is the reason he wants to become a Hero, and for the longest time, she was the only thing keeping him going. It's a pretty minor thing, since not many people care for the meanings of names in a story, but it was one of the first details I ironed out, and one that I believe makes the storyline just that much more enjoyable for me.

As for Yasushi, the name I settled on actually wasn't the first one I thought up for him! The first I had in my notes was actually Sashi Terunobu, and admittedly, I do like how this one aptly described his Quirk in the name (quite literally meaning finger and stretch). However, when I went through much investigation on whether Katsuki's childhood friends had canon names, I actually found an info book that listed Yasu's canon surname as Dehisa, and had the first part of his given name (Ya) shown. Since I didn't quite have a lot of room to work with, I did the best I could, and thus ended up with the name I have for him now. While not as exact as the first name I thought up, I really like how his canon surname has the meaning of long time, as it comes across as rather accurate in regards to how long he and Katsuki have known each other.

With everyone else, I had a good amount of wiggle room, though! Seika's pretty unique in how long it took for me to pick her name. In the end, I settled on the names I thought fit her best. Her surname described her most prominent trait (large eyes) and personality (radiant, sparkling) pretty well, and her first name did so much justice in regards to explaining her Quirk on the surface level (blue/green vortex), so while it took some time to settle on something good, I'm happy with what I decided for her.

Henshuu's name was the most difficult to decide, I think, out of everyone. Many of the meanings I wanted to include in her name weren't quite compatible with kanji, so it was hard finding loopholes and attempting to piece together something cohesive. In the end, her surname effectively described her Quirk (salt bubbles) and her given name included both a reference to her appearance (braid/plaits) and a surface level understanding of her personality (in how people tend to flock around her).

Out of everyone, I think Mito's name is the most cohesive. It's actually quite funny how succinct the meaning of her surname is in regards to her Quirk (literally fire hand, I love it), and her first name is rather lovely in how it potentially describes her hair (beautiful orange). Overall, I like the simplicity of Mito's name most out of everyone, excepting maybe Kanji.

Lastly, Hifue's name is one that gave me a bit of trouble. Her last name was found quite easily, actually, and I do feel quite proud of how it outlines her Quirk (small, float and mind, air are the most prominent meanings, which is pretty great since her Quirk is literally floating small things through the air with her mind so). Her first name is one I wasn't quite satisfied with because it was really a last minute decision, but it grew on me after a while. After all, it does tie into how her Quirk works (two fingers must be outstretched for her Quirk to work), and I now adore how much it describes her now that I've fleshed out her character and story a bit more (flourish, prosper, and splendor are all very apt, in my personal opinion.)

Anyways, I feel like that's everything!! In summary, I pretty much picked certain traits and vibes I wanted to shine through and went with it!! I'm really happy you love their names just as much as I do, Anon. They were created through the labor of love, and I'm happy that they resonate with you!! <33

kariage my beloved <3

Introducing the entirety of the Katsucrew at long last!!

From left to right we have - 

Daikikou Seika, the sweetheart and resident fashion disaster of the group. She’s a bit soft spoken but with a surprisingly willful side to her, and she loves taking care of her army of plants and reading from her many books.

Kate Mito, the mechanics-obsessed trouble-maker of the crew. She’s a very candid girl who expresses her feelings freely, and she’ll rant for hours about her ideas and theories to anyone willing to sit down and listen.

Agei Ashikari, or Kariage, the very reason the trope of bad boy with a heart of gold exists. He’s understanding to a fault and cares deeply, always willing to defend his friends or cheer them up with a ride through town.

Bakugou Katsuki, the center of this motley crew. Somehow, even as a bratty kid with a million and one complexes, he ended up with the most amazing group of friends and all it took was a few months of badgering and friendship rituals.

Agei Kanji, the absolute baby of the group and favorite of them all. She’s sweet and kind, quick to comfort and unfailingly hilarious, an amalgamation of all the best traits of the group, who she all views as her honorary siblings.

Shioawa Henshuu, the most feral of the the group under her deceptively disarming guise. Both driven and gentle, she knows every way to topple someone down and then how to pull them back up with a helping hand.

Obuki Hifue, the perpetually exhausted mother hen of the squad. She’s quiet to a point, but around her friends she smiles brighter than the sun and works hard to make sure they take care of themselves, lest she get personally involved.

Dehisa Yasushi, the laid-back older brother figure of the squad. He’s relatively chill most of the time, only really getting hyped over video games, but he’s always down to have a good time with his friends, whether it’s legal or not.

I should say though, that I’ve also decided that Family by Mother Mother is the theme song of the Katsucrew. Give it a listen if you haven’t already - it matches this squad of hell-raisers perfectly.

Can we have a undercut and Katsuki hc and like could you make them skater boys💙💙

Oh, wow, not me answering asks twelve years late - never that! Okay, but for real, I’ve lowkey been thinking about a Skater Katsucrew AU for awhile now. I’m probably never gonna write something for it, at least not now, what with my busy as fuck schedule, but!! It makes me happy to rant about, so I’ll guess I’ll just do that dkfjhdjsk

Okay, so!! Kariage’s your classic skateboarder. He made his first one out of old scrap wood and bought his first real one years later after he fell in love and decided to save up for one. He’s got a bunch of scars from falling and the rough edges of his homemade board scratching him. He’s really into doing complicated tricks, mostly to impress Katsuki, but mostly enjoys how learning and rehearsing his moves will take him out of his own head for a few hours. It’s relaxing to him.

Yasushi is a longboarder. He’s knows a few tricks, but mostly prefers cruising - especially down empty roads or on his way home from school, where there’s not that much foot traffic. He learned because he got jealous of Kariage’s interest in skateboarding when they were kids, but made the switch to the more casual board after a bad fall.

Mito’s a biker. Solidly built with thick tires and a more filled out frame, her bike looks like a mainstream dirt bike, but that’s mostly because she built it to withstand some pretty harsh crashes. She doesn’t know too many tricks, mostly because her bike’s too big for doing most of them without her screwing up or falling, but she loves having races with anyone who’ll go against her.

Henshuu has a scooter. She’s not that interested in using it for tricks or to try to impress people, and she is fully aware that riding on it makes people think she’s younger than she is, especially combined with her stature and baby face. However, she loves how easy it is to cruise on it for hours and to get places fairly quick - plus, it also serves as a perfect opportunity to hit someone’s ankles when they’re being annoying.

Katsuki has inline skates. This may be surprising to most people, since he so much looks like someone who’d use some other sort of wheels, but it actually fits him best. He doesn’t like riding bikes or scooters because it requires the use of hands and he prefers to keep his free, and having his wheels firmly attached to shoes that can’t come off with ease makes it effortless to do tricks and seamless moves without a second thought.

Seika’s a rollerskater. She’s a very clumsy person by nature, so having the four wheels set in two rows instead of one helps her maintain her balance easier. She loves doing competitive roller derby, often serving as her team’s jammer since she’s the fastest and most flexible on account of her small size, and it’s not rare to see her practicing evasive maneuvers and racing her friends to get better.

Hifue is a figure skater. She’s got that fancy feel, y’know? I don’t know, but the vibe of her dressed in fancy silk and sequins, spinning and dancing and moving like she is so in tune with her body, effortlessly like she was made for it - it’s perfect. Figure skating for her is not simply a skill to master or a way to make people ooh and ahh, it’s a way of life to her, something so ingrained that being off the ice feels foreign.

Anyways!! In this AU, I’m imagining that the squad starts off split up. You’ve got Kari’s gang: him and Yasu and Mito, just a bunch of bad kids on boards and a bike. They’re known as those kids who practically live at the skate park, and you can’t live around their neighborhood without seeing them cruising the empty streets at night laughing at the top of their lungs at least once.

Then, comes Katsuki’s crew. It’s odd, seeing him and Seika and Henshuu together - they don’t really fit as well as most people think friends should: Katsuki’s loud and brash, Seika’s shy and sweet, and Henshuu’s bold and sly. But Katsuki and Seika’s similar styles and Henshuu’s incessant butting in brought them together as friends.

The two group collide when Katsuki decides to skate at the slightly derelict park that Kariage frequents. Immediately, Kariage is intrigued by Katsuki, who slouches with a hand on his hip, barely reaching Kari’s shoulder because of the one row skates he wears, scrunching his nose at the sight of the board that rests against Kariage’s hip. Immediately, Katsuki wants to leave, not wanting to associate with wannabe skater kids, but Seika and Henshuu are already so enamored with Mito, and now he can’t leave.

Things go on, and eventually the kids start hanging out more and more, especially after Kariage quite frankly shocked Katsuki with his skateboarding skills - not that he’d admit it or anything, but Kari can see the twitch of Katsuki’s eyebrows and the light in his eyes and he smirks because Katsuki’s not as slick as he thinks, trying to hide his amazement.

Then, Seika, ever the sweetheart, brings in a new member - Hifue, who’s stiff and slightly uncomfortable, who slowly relaxes and who eventually becomes best friends with the crew, who takes note of the risks her friends take when riding and incorporates more daring flips and tricks into her routine and becomes even better at her sport than she ever thought, now that she has friends who inspire her to step outside the box and think freely.

Plus!! Just thinking of little baby Kanji, trying out skateboarding with her brother holding her hand and the whole crew cheering the first time she manages to land and flip - it’s gonna make my heart explode from the sheer cuteness.

Just,,, Katsucrew on Wheels AU,,, pls.

agsfdghjk PLS Everytime I see your art,,, I get a little heart attack, just a lil. Like!! They are so cute, and your art style makes them infinitely more so. Just,, the concept of little Kari being so enamored with Katsuki, following his footsteps and looking at him with stars in his eyes and a heart that beats far to quickly and!! Katsuki just accepting it!! Because Kari is his friend, and he loves it when his friends are amazed by him!!

But also!! My God, the details!! Wittle babies playing soccer and Kari just fucking,,, rolling around the ground because he’s having fun and like!! Fidning this little flower that reminds him of his Bestest Everest Friend and!! Him picking it specifically for Katsuki because it made him think of Katsuki?? Please, you’re making me far too soft how 🥺

sunflower head or dandelion head?

LMAOOO NOT @ ME POSTING THE ART SITTING IN MY GALLERY LIKE 🧍FOR WEEKS OR PROLLY EVEN MONTHS

-

Hello. I have come to shove my love for Karibaku down your throat. Jk. I really do love them tho.

And imma continue to IGNORE what’s happening in the manga. I SWEAR.

I AM NOT CHECKING MY TWITTER FOR THAT S O L E R E A S O N.

sdfGHDJFKL NEW KARIBAKU JUST DROPPED!?!?!?

Okay, wait I’m just,, please the energy in this 🥺 I don’t know how to quite explain but It Soft, you feel?? Just,,, Kari sleeping so deeply and Katsuki reaching out to wake him up but like,, there is just this Moment, where the light shines just right, and he can hear every one of Kariage’s deep, even breaths, and Katsuki’s hand is just hovering, outstretched because it feels like he can’t move and there’s this weight on his chest, heavy and warm and alive and!!

Wait, I’m so in love pls 😭😭😭

(KariBaku) After Class

patterns??

I am banging my fists on a table as we speak. Oh my god, I just?? I really like this?? I remember when you messaged me about this, and I was super excited to see how you handled this!! To be honest, I never expected Kariage and KariBaku to get as popular as it did. When I first started shipping it back in August-ish, literally no one I knew had heard of it. Only a few Japanese and Korean writers and artists had works spread across the web, and @pyrrhicwildfire had their fic on ao3 that came out last year, which helped me get hooked.

Now, we’ve got a whole ass Discord server for KariBaku, so many talented artists and writers creating amazing content every freaking day, and a doc for Kariage and his rise to fame?? Please, I am so happy that you made this!! It was absolutely perfect, even for a work-in-progress, and I can’t thank you enough for making it <33

The Kariage Master Doc

It is a somewhat collective from of Kariage and his character. It's still unfinished but I'm planing on adding onto it. Such as expanding on the history of the character and other smaller aspects. Going more into depth with his dynamic and the versatility that it holds.

sometimes a family is an unapologetic gremlin, a notorious bad boy, and the little angel that keeps them in check <33

WOW, so I finally got around to rereading this and lemme tell you,, it is just as painful as the first time you talked about this concept on Discord. Like?? Wow, Gab, really tearing my heart to shreds here.

ANYways, yeah this is just?? So supremely sad, to be honest. There’s just something so depressing about reading stories and concepts where characters dying preventable deaths, and all I can think of is the build up to this, you know? How many times Katsuki must’ve asked, told, pleaded for Kari to give up his habit, only to have Kari laugh and tell him it’s not that serious as he lights up another cigarette, as his voice gets deep and scratchy, as he gains a cough that never really goes away, until he can barely breathe after a few steps and can’t laugh unless he wants to pass out.

Then, Kari gets the diagnosis and there’s,, there’s nothing they can do. No medicine is working, it’s too far along, they’re not given hope - they’re given a time limit. Maybe Katsuki’s mad, at first. After all, he told Kari time after time after time, looking out the corner of his eye as Kari smoked, breath raspy and fingers shaking: That’s gonna be the death of you.

He wished he wasn’t right, for once in his fucking life.

Kari dies and takes some part of Katsuki with him, some integral, important part of Katsuki that lets him feel, lets him live. It’s buried alongside Kari in a casket that won’t ever open, and Katsuki maybe feels a little like he, too, died.

But his heart still beats and his lungs still breathe and his stomach still grumbles, and Katsuki feels like his body has betrayed him. Because how can he still be alive, when the one person who actually saw him is gone, buried six feet under, never to be seen again, never to laugh or cry or love again?

Katsuki’s alive, but it doesn’t feel like it. Not when the colors he sees are dull, and he feels rooted to solid ground. Even when he becomes the Number One Hero, people cheering out all around him, he can’t muster up a smile, can barely mutter through a scripted speech before he’s beating it. He sits a home, dressed in his half-done up Hero Costume, and thinks about how he’d give it all up for Kari. He’d stop being a Hero, leave the people who call themselves his friends and family, shed his name and every aspect of his identity just to have a chance to talk to Kari even once.

But the real world doesn’t work that way, and he wakes the next day and continues the constant cycle of sorrow.

Anyways, yeah this broke my heart, hehe </3

BAKUGOU HEADCANON 27

[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]

Kariage dies from lung cancer due to his smoking habits during Bakugou’s 2nd year and fuck, Bakugou knew this was coming, knew that it’ll be sooner that later but he still can’t wrap his mind around loosing one of the people that cared about him. (Bakugou cares about a lot of people, though they seldom care about him too).

Sometimes when he sees a cigarette bud on the street, he can’t help think about how they’re the reason he lost the one person in his life he truly loved. When he smells smoke, they bring tears in his eyes and his throat instantly gets tight because it smells so much like Kariage, it’s like he’s there beside him again. But that’s just it right? That smoke is the reason he’s gone. Funny how that works.

He can’t bring himself to wear the color black anymore because it reminded him of their high school sweetheart days and suddenly he feels numb, feels nothing because the love of his life isn’t there to watch him grow as a hero and as a person (like Kariage said he would). Can’t bring himself to sneak out of U.A. no matter how much he wants to because that used to be their secret thing. When he becomes number one hero, sure he’s proud he’s made it, he worked and bled for this. But the one person that supported him since day one wasn’t there to watch the stars with him until sunrise that night. He thought the day he’ll reach number one will be the best day of his life, but it’s not. Not without him, the only person that mattered. He realizes after everything that his greatest goal in life wasn’t victory, because he was already a winner with Kariage. 

And now he isn’t.

[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]

slams head into table repeatedly Oh my gOD??? I just,, I’m,, I’m love.

Like, hello? The concept of Kari not really caring about losing his Quirk cuz it only really fucked him up and he only ever wanted to go to art school?? Interesting, and I am so intrigued about the idea of people not really feeling like their Quirk is integral to their existence and people who don’t feel lost when they lose their Quirk. But!! The fact that Kari thinks only of Katsuki after is just,, immaculate.

Kari being scared that Katsuki won’t accept his little crush now that he’s Quirkless is just so 😭 please I’m so sad. But then!! He’s just so desperate that he takes a chance and I am just clutches chest dramatically swooning over how Katsuki so readily accepts him because he doesn’t care.

Kari is Kari, Quirk or not.

And, ugh, the absolute flavor of having the Bakusquad being utter assholes? Delicious, even more so since Katsuki is actually, reasonably mad at them. But the moment he just drops his squad because they fucked around too much and messed with shit they shouldn’t even touch? Very sexy for him to ditch them, in my honest opinion 😌

Headcanon that bakugou dates someone quirkless and everyone is super confused but also invested. There are bets and private group chats and someone has done a background check on them. Someone definitely tried to check BK for any type of manipulation. (That poor soul is no longer with us).

I’m going to go and make this Karibaku, if that’s alright.

Okay, so.

Imagine if Kariage lives in a really rough neighbourhood, so he’s always been around illegal substances and black-market quirk-related content. And then he hears talk of bullets that can erase quirks, apparently they’ve started circulating around the villain communities, but they’re incredibly rare and have barely been used.

But then, one night, he’s walking home from Katsuki’s place, it’s the weekend and so he finally got the chance to go see him again since Kat is always busy at UA, and before he knows it he hears fighting in an alley, and just as he’s about to rush by the entrance to it, he hears a gunshot and suddenly there’s pain in his leg. A stray bullet.

It’s all a little bit blurry after that. 

Before he knows it, he’s in the hospital and he’s being told his quirk is gone.

Fine. Whatever. He wasn’t using it anyways since he was going to art school and it was only making his goddamn asthma worse.

But fuck.

Katsuki.

Now, he knew the blond wasn’t the way he used to be in middle school, he knew that his opinions on quirkless people used to be complicated and had since changed. But he just couldn’t get the damn thought out of his head, what if he had lost his chance before he even got to try and make it work with his friend?

He’d had a pathetic crush on him since Middle School. Katsuki knew about it, he was sure of it. They’d been dancing around each other for years.

And now... he didn’t know if the dance would continue.

He didn’t know if Katsuki would want him now that he’s... well, useless.

But then, the next day, Katsuki is right there by his side, holding his hand all the while he’s calling him an idiot for not being more careful.

Kariage pulls him in and kisses him before Katsuki manages to get himself kicked out.

After that, they officially starts dating.

The last thing he expected was for Katsuki to become increasingly more and more pissed off as they got further into the relationship.

At first, he figured he was the problem, maybe he’d done something.

But soon Katsuki told him.

“Told those stupid fuckers I was dating ya a while back cause they kept asking who I was talking to. They asked if you’re in the hero course and when I said no they asked if you have a weak quirk or something, I said you’re quirkless. They’ve been fuckin’ placing bets on how long it’s gonna take for me to dump you cause of it and shit.”

Kariage just shrugs and pulls him in, kissing him and hugging him until he finally calmed down.

A few days later, though, he gets a message on his IG. 

After a short chat, they finally end up asking the question they’ve clearly been meaning to ask, “so, how did you get Blasty to date you? What did you do to him?”

The moment Kariage texts Katsuki about what had happened, his boyfriend is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Only then does he find out the lack of faith his friends have in him, the doubts and the judgement. 

Whatever. He doesn’t need those fuckers.

All he needs is Kariage. And he has him - quirk or not.

The fact that I somehow missed this actual masterpiece is a crime and a damn shame and I cannot believe myself. Just?? The way you write them,,, absolute perfection. I don’t know how to describe it, but their interaction, their voices, their banter are all supremely immaculate and I’m in pure awe.

Just,,, Katsuki realizing that knowing someone for as long as he has Kari means they know your next move maybe even better than you do, Kari’s incessant teasing, them cuddling?? Bye, I am simply deceased, they are far too adorable for this world. Kari just opening his arms and baiting Katsuki into hugging him?? Perfection, I love it.

Katsuki not pulling away from Kari’s kisses because he craves affection is just,,, adorable. The whole thing with Kari being weaker than Katsuki but still holding him anyways 😭 please, Your Honor, they’re in love. And the part where Kari teases Katsuki about Deku is fantastic, especially the part where he insinuated Deku was salty he wasn’t the one dating Katsuki - that had me laughing so hard.

And the end?? Where Kari takes such pride in dating Katsuki to the point where he brags about it and the whole “I’d never, Katsuki”?? Please, I am deceased, he is just?? so in love with Katsuki and he’s proud of it and he’ll never deny Katsuki what he wants because he’s just?? so?? in love??

Once again, you slap me in the face with your amazing writing and characterizations and I am!! so!! grateful!! <33

“Let me guess…Midoriya?”

Katsuki throws his bag at Kariage, who catches the thing with a stupid-ass grin. That’s the annoying thing about living with and dating someone who’s known you since you were a middle schooler— they know you far, far too well to not predict your movements. He says, “Stop guessing my problems for the day, bastard.”

“But it’s such a fun game,” Kariage teases, setting aside his bag on the couch before opening his arms wide. “C’mon, tell me.”

“You seriously think I’m letting you hold me?”

“Are you saying you can’t take being held by me?”

Katsuki’s eye twitches at the obvious bait.

Keep reading

breathes heavily Oh my God, they are just?? so?? freaking adorable??

The way Katsuki lets Kariage get so close and the fact that Kari has his eyes on Katsuki in both pictures?? I don’t know how to describe it,,, but you can practically see how Katsuki is just the center of his universe in those two moments?? And how Katsuki’s trying his best to make it seem like he personally doesn’t care if Kari’s there or not, but he’s still letting him close?? 😭 I love them so freaking muchhh.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m trying to convey!! Also, this is maybe kinda off topic, but I really like how you draw their hair?? Katsuki’s is so perfectly spikey and Kari’s messy hair is just too adorable <33

刈り勝

Hi! I just wanted to drop a headcannon I'm currently finding motivation to write here because I'm still new on the discord server and stated before that I get panicked easily!

Imagine this: Kariage and Katsuki gave each other promise rings in middle school but they lost contact when Katsuki went to UA... Kariage on the other hand, became a popular singer or something and he has lots of fangirls, but despite that he's still loyal to Katsuki and wants to find him again like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. He wears the promise ring and his fans starts to notice and ofc there are *THOSE* fangirls that try and buy matching ones... What they didn't know was that the promise ring Kariage wore had a vow or sentence that only he and Katsuki knew... Now back to Katsuki, he rarely wears the promise ring but he still kept it and polished it and the only ones who realised that Katsuki was wearing the ring were Momo and Deku but they decided to leave it be

OK, now onto how they're reunited...basically the fangirls are getting wild so Kariage finally revealed that he has a lover but won't say who... So one day he decides to have a little concert at UA because they really need something fun (also because he knew Katsuki was there)... He was allowed a tour in the school and let's say, coincidentally Katsuki walks by and Kariage sees him and he grabs Katsuki and makes him turn towards Kariage so he could see his face... Now, Katsuki wanted to yell at him but then realised it was Kariage so he of course was shocked and said "Holy sh*t- Kariage-?" and then Kariage just smirks and then everyone else is just shocked and Kariage just says "Hello Strawberry" (OK but imagine Strawberry as a nickname because what if Katsuki was a sucker for strawberry flavored things-) and then they kiss in front of everyone and they are just like- so shocked because our local angry Pomeranian??? With famous singer Kariage???

Dadzawa in the bag like: AYO STOP HITTING ON MY PROBL- AYE STOP KISSING-

!!! Omg you’re our newest member?? i think?? Anyways, welcome to the discord server, I hope you like it well <33

As for your little concept - its super cute!! I love thinking of all different types of AUs when it comes to these two, but this one is interesting!! I really do like the concept of Kariage and Katsuki exchanging promise rings (I have a century old concept of Kari proposing to Katsuki at a festival which has been in the works for,,, forever) and the idea of the two of them being in a secret relationship and/or losing contact is!! just!! one of my favorite things to think about, to be honest, because of the sheer amount of possibilities. Especially if you add in some good ol’ Dadzawa, ya feel? 👀

And, the concept of Kari calling Katsuki every type of pet name to show his love and affection? Your Honor, I love them so. Thanks for sending this in!! It gave me just the right amount of serotonin <33

oh mY GODksJGHDKJhagsfdadAGHdfskjdrjdkl?!?!?!?!?

hi oh my god i love middle school katsuki and his loser friends so much what the heck. the way?? you draw?? them?? amazing unparalleled absolutely gorgeous how??? just,,, katsuki’s little chubby cheeks and grumpy face,,, kariage’s messy hair and the way you drew the smoke,,, and dehisa looking like an absolute asshole in ways i cannot verbalize,,, im love they

Bad kids

God, I adore the concept of Katsuki and Kariage being together for just everything. Through the good and the bad and everything in between, through tears and laughter and victory and defeat, they’ve been by each other’s side for it all and that’s just perfectly sweet.

The idea of them creating a code just to make sure they never feel unsafe or uncomfortable around each other?? I love it. Just the thought or Katsuki feeling so wrong after the Sludge Villain Incident, constantly flinching from touch and having to choke back the feeling of cold slime sliding down his throat, choking him is so extremely sad. And, Kariage always being on guard becuase he’s been conditioned to expect slaps and hits and hurt from the people meant to love him the most is absolutely heartbreaking.

But, then, Kariage and Katsuki acknowledging that it’s okay to be not okay, and them coming together to make sure neither one of them feels bad with the other boy? Hi, yes, I am crying.

Them knowing each other so well that not even a word has to be spoken for them to understand? I love it. Their safe spaces and little tells and the comfort is so adorable, and I freaking adore how they always make sure it’s okay to hug and hang around the other boy to make sure no boundaries are crossed. They’re both boys who’ve been raised to be strong above all else, and the thought of them knowing they don’t always have to be the pinnacle of strength with each other is so soft.

The rest of the Katsucrew picking up on the little code and starting to use it on the daily is just another bonus that makes this whole concept even better, because here’s this ragtag bunch of kids who’re the exact opposite of perfect - they fight a lot and stumble around each other’s thoughts and feelings and they make mistakes because they’re kids - but they try, and they’re there for each other through the highs and lows and plateaus, and that’s all that matters in the end, isn’t it?

📁 undercut-kun x katsuki Jk jk jk haha Unless👀👀 (You're the only one feeding me with his ship😭)

BAKUGOU HEADCANON 28

(if you catch me replying to asks months late, nO YOU DIDN’T)

Kariage (undercut-kun) and Bakugou have been dating since middle school, it’s in context that they’ve spent years getting to know each other, working around one another’s insecurities and weaknesses. Kariage especially to Bakugou, after the sludge villain, sports festival, kidnapping, fights, etc., he’s been there.

He and Bakugou devised a code or secret language if you will, right after the sludge villain incident. Two consecutive taps must be done first if you’re going to initiate physical affection towards one another, and wait for 2 seconds if the other is going to shake their head as a no. If not, then the physical touch is welcome. 

This is done to not surprise Bakugou or Kariage at the sudden contact, to not activate their fight or flight response. This stemmed from Bakugou’s traumas of people grabbing him and Kariage with his abusive parents. It’s a simple secret act between the two of them, yet important nonetheless as it shows consent.

Another is four consecutive taps meaning that they feel unsafe or their anxiety is spiking up. No matter where they are or what they’re doing, they stop and try to leave (if they’re with other people) and goes to a certain safe place, like Bakugou’s room or under their tree at the park, until the person feels comfortable again. No questions asked between the two of them, they give the other space or affection depending on the mood and wait until they tap 2 times to signify they’re okay again.

With this, they built trust and boundaries, something Bakugou’s other friends may lack or ignore. They build comfort and protection, because no matter how strong Kariage seems to be, there are times when things become overbearing. They’ve been doing this for years and the other members of the Katsucrew or Aldera Gang (dubbed by @hitheryon) has caught up on their signs and makes it a habit to watch out for those subtle taps initiated to know how to cheer their friends up or to give them time and space.

Kariage and Bakugou know their friends have realized and seen their private codes already and they couldn’t be happier as the signs they use become an unspoken thing between the group. No questions asked, they’re simply there for one another. They might not be perfect, but they’ll go through everything and anything together.

Them™

Wow, I am just. I legit can’t. You know that feeling where you’re so shocked you can barely think? This. This right here, oh my God, I am amazed. I just?

I love this. Holy fuck, I love this so freaking much. You know, I’ve always had a bit of trouble imagining what Kariage would do and how he’d act after the Sludge Incident, especially towards Katuski but this? This takes the cake, because I was actually tearing up. Literally tearing up because I just love this so much.

Just?? Kariage on his knees apologizing and crying because he thinks he’s such a coward for not trying to help Katsuki, the person he loves, even if he couldn’t have done anything at all?? Katsuki acknowledging that Kariage valuing his own life was smart and basically telling Kariage he has nothing to apologize for?? Absolute perfection, I love it so much.

And, just?? Katsuki round-a-bout saying that Kariage’s actually brave for facing him, telling Kariage he can make up for his self-perceived sin by choosing Katsuki?? I am deceased, I am sniffling as we speak, this is so freaking adorable.

I love how you have Kariage be so stupefied by Katsuki’s annoucement, like he’s just so legitimately shocked because Katsuki’s choosing him? And their adorable interactions make my heart squeeze so much because they’re just so cute?? Katsuki telling Kariage he’s an ugly-crier, the two having their first kiss, Kari telling Katsuki they’re gonna have so many dates because he’s gonna romance Katsuki right?? The Bakugou’s already knowing their son is crushing hard, Kari knowing Katsuki’s a secret romantic at heart, and the fucking “I’ll make you happy, Katsuki. I promise.” has got me crying from the cuteness overload, I’m just sdsfghjkdlkjhgfgshj

You’re literally one of the best content creators out there for KariBaku and it shows.

“…I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Katsuki.”

Katsuki stares at Kariage’s ugly, crying face, then huffs out a breath.

“Running away was the smart thing to do, don’t be an idiot,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest. He watches as Kariage tries, and fails, to wipe away the tears flowing from his eyes. He looks pathetic like this, kneeling before Katsuki in Katsuki’s bedroom, begging for forgiveness for a sin that Katsuki never regarded as one anyway.

Why would Katsuki be angry at Kariage for running away when he’d been captured by the sludge villain? Why would he hold it against him that he prioritized his own life, when Katsuki damn well knew that Kariage didn’t have the strength or power to fight back in the first place?

Katsuki didn’t blame him for anything, and yet, here he was.

Kariage says weakly, “I left, I could’ve at least tried—”

“You’re not strong enough to save me, and I never wanted to be saved anyway,” Katsuki says.

“Is that enough?” Kariage says, frustration written into his knit brows, his clenched jaw, his shaking fists resting over his lap. “Can you honestly say that’s enough, Katsuki? It’s not a matter of saving you, it’s a matter of being a coward.”

“I never said you weren’t. You were a coward.”

I love your characters they are ♥ So what if... What if the class learns 'bout the bullying stuff and they turn away from Katsuki. He's not well after weeks of being ignored by teachers and badtreated by his classmates, Deku is trying to help but he can only do so much. He's struggling to be himself and the Katscrew notice, they notice how much more quiet he's being, and the 2 in UA notice the strange behavior in everyonelse. The final straw is Kat crying his eyes out with Kariage maybe?

Okay, so this is somewhat related to this ask, but I’d 100% be lying if I said I didn’t have a Spiteful (@lawgrain) AU with the Katsucrew 👀

Obviously, considering the story isn’t finished yet and I’ve got a very one-sided view of what’s happening in the fic, the concept’s not fully fleshed out, but it has some very general ideas, of course.

Karaige, Seika, and Henshuu are the first to figure out something’s not quite right. After all, Kariage’s the closest to Katsuki and both Seika and Henshuu are the two in the group who have the best grasp on the emotional situations in the crew. Everyone, even little Kanji, know that Mitsuki and Masaru aren’t the greatest of parents - Mitsuki is abusive in so many ways and Masaru never actually stops it - but this is something else.

Before whatever happened, Katsuki constantly regaled the crew with stories of what happened at UA - the training, the lessons, even the shenanigans that 1A got up to. Then, one day, the stories all but stopped. Katsuki stopped bringing up how Aizawa-sensei was a great teacher who pushed him to his limits, how Shitty Hair and Round Face were awesome sparring parents, how Katsuki was one of the best in all his classes. Now, he barely mentions UA at all, until he starts bringing up a girl named Hatsume.

“She’s crazy as fuck,” Katsuki tells him. “But she’s real.”

It’s subtle, but they know what he means by it. He means that she’s honest with her intentions, doesn’t hide her bad side, but she’s good nonetheless.

It’s only a matter of days when the truth about what’s happening really comes out. It’s not purposeful in any way at all, but Katsuki comes to the Warehouse, pure rage in his eyes as he paces around where the crew is sitting and he launches into a rant about how one his idiotic teachers, Ectoplasm, is fucking with his assignments and grades just to see him fail.

After that, the crew unanimously decided to help.

At the infamous lunch table, Hifue and Mito start sitting with him. They talk and laugh and mess around, not caring about the hateful and confused glares being thrown their way. Mito walks him to his classes, subtly snarking the Hero students that try and trip or shove Katsuki, and Hifue tells him about a plethora of places in UA that could serve as a place he could relax and avoid people in.

Hatsume is there to validate what Katsuki’s going through. She doesn’t defend what he did in middle school, thank God, but she’s there to tells him that what’s happening is wrong. She’s one of the first to tell him that the useless teachers who don’t bother to look further are worms, the one to snarkily deny doing repairs or upgrades on his classmate’s costumes. She’s there to call his mother a hag.

Henshuu’s there when he needs to take his anger out productively. She brings him to the gym she frequents, the one her papá owns, and she holds the punching bags still, and watches as he lifts dumbbells until his arms shake, and spars with him until they can do nothing but flop onto their backs with heaving chests.

Seika, Kanji and Yasushi are there when he needs to relax. They bring him around Musutafu and Tokyo and practically make him have fun. They drag him around newly-opened restaurants at night and fast food places in the early morning, take him to arcades and festivals and the movies, make him tag along as they visit owl cafés and karaoke bars and parks. They make him smile.

And, Kariage? He’s there when Katsuki needs to let go. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when everything gets a little too much, when his mother bruises his cheek and someone calls him a villain one too many times and he gets another bad mark on a perfect assignment. He’s the one Katsuki turns to when he needs to cry, because Kariage won’t make fun of him - he’ll hold him for hours, whisper hundreds of words of affirmation, kiss away his tears.

And, no matter what Deku does or says or tries, the class and teachers will always hate him. If Katsuki didn’t have his crew or Hatsume, maybe it would’ve gotten to him more. But, with them, the situation’s not good, but it’s - it’s better. He can live with it easier, because he’s strong, but the people who love him make him stronger, and that’s all that really matters in the end.
