Kariage-kun - Blog Posts

Hello and welcome to the official KariKatsu Week Post! This event was put together by so many lovely people in the KariBaku discord server, and will take place February 8th to February 14th, focusing on any and everything Kariage and Katsuki-centric!

For those unaware, Kariage is Katsuki’s old middle school friend with the curly undercut. A niche interest and a rarepair, true, but crazier things have been shipped, haven’t they?

For those curious or wanting to participate, this event will be very casual, mostly due to the time frame. No money will be made off the content created for the week, and all submissions are accepted from full-on chaptered fics and drabbles to sketches and fully rendered artworks. As long as Kariage and Katsuki are the main focus and relationship, whether romantic or platonic, then you’re good!

As for the prompts, here they are!

These are just places to start, though! Feel free to take these and run, tear them to shreds, or set them on fire and dance on the ashes. Stick to these prompts, create your own, or do a mix of both, as long as Kariage and Katsuki are front and center!

I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you guys will make! Happy creating!! ♡

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.

Florist bakugou x tattoo artist kariage BUT WITH A TWIST

bakugou has like, a gothic aesthetic with his clothes but customers dont realize hes a gremlin cuz of his baby face making him look pouty if hes not actively pissed. And you cant see a lot of the profanity on his shirt cuz of the dark green apron and fake flower crown as part of the uniform.

Kariage is quiet, and slightly intimidating with his simplistic all black clothes and piercings, but talks like an adorable puppy who's passionate about his professional, cuz he will rant about different things and suggestions regarding tattoos.

The two see eachother frequently due to the shops being across the pathway. But they've never interacted until kariage visits cuz he wants to change up the decor after getting an ungodly number of vases from mito after her pottery date with seika.

They get to know eachother and bakugou decides he wants a tattoo where he gets to see the cute side of Kariage rather than the usual stoic and quiet persona hes used to. This made him gay panic more than It should have. Kariage has always liked the fiery persona of Bakugou's and enjoys learning about how he ended up working at a flower shop. Turns out bakugou likes to make flower arrangements that passively insult others with their meanings. Cute.

Anyways after a bit of pinning and wingman hifue and yasushi, they get together and frequent each other's shops a lot.

Very domestic.

I might make fanart of this. And a fanfic.

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.

have yalls angry mitsuki coming to terms that kariage is a good boyfriend for katsuki. And her twisted thinking about the sports festival.

---

Anger riled up in her as she saw her son tied up infront of millions. How could this happen? Why is no one doing anything?! Her baby boy is struggling in quirk restraints not even fit for his quirk.

Mitsuki could barely hold herself back. Masaru had grown still next to her. She could barely think, so many questions went through her head. Perhaps they were doing the right thing? Maybe katsuki had done something wrong and is paying the price for it, surely UA wouldn't do something like this without a reason.

-time skip to after sports festival, katsuki is at home now- (I'll figure out how to write this part later)

Katsuki didnt say much, or at all once he got home. He just stayed inside his room all day. It was getting late. Around 7 PM.

There was a knock at the door, it was kariage, Katsuki's boyfriend. Mitsuki let him inside, even if she still wasn't so sure about him. Could you blame her? Kariage was basically if hot topic and stereotypical bad boy had a baby. And that baby being kariage, the poster child of bad behavior.

However, the look in his eyes said otherwise. There was a bloodlust hidden, a fury almost breaking to the surface as there were glimpses of sadness. Mitsuki looked at kariage as he went upstairs to her son's room.

A while later, she heard muffled sobs as she washes the dishes....and then cooing? Sweet nothings are a better phrase. She heard the sobbing stop and turn to giggles. Mitsuki turned the water off after completing the last of the dishes.

Mitsuki went upstairs, she stood infront of the door and heard the stupid jokes that kariage was telling her boy. No matter how bad they were, they still made katsuki laugh.

Mitsuki smiled to herself as she walked into masaru and her bedroom and sat next to her already sleeping husband. Maybe, just maybe, kariage was ok enough to be with her baby.

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.

📂 Headcannons?

Yay! Thank you. I love answering asks. 😊❤

Bkg knows a concerning amount of info when it comes to poisons.

He can just say them as if they're the alphabet.

He's used them as threats when nothing else comes to mind. Which isnt often. He's got plenty of insults.

He only uses them when its absolutely necessary. Truly angry.

He's made Endeavour piss himself from this, it's made Todoroki worship him ever since. Natsuo loves him now (as a bro obviously).

That's the level of horror he can instill.

Kariage finds it hot just how BAMF his boyfriend is.

Glasses and Fire love this while cottage is the provider of poisonous plants (mainly flowers or fruits)

Fingers and bubbles dont even blink an eye. They're used to it. They feel bkg in if he plans on going a bit overboard.

AKA the scene where karma gets valentines day cyanide chocolate from okuda. It's like that. Then fingers and bubbles are kayano who stop him.

~~~

Sorry if you don't like it. I have other hcs I can post but my mind isn't functioning right now. Chile anyways, hope you have a good day and stay safe. ❤😊

OML why would you follow me?? 🥺💖 love ya bunny!

Warning: Pedophilia

---

I was listening to a song by Bellamy and Marry me and a scenario of russian speaking bkg popped into my head. I think y'all know that song 'конфетка' I think.

So basically UA got a sponsor for a russian company and invite this guy and his interpreter to visit and view the classrooms. So they arrive and the asshole starts talking sexual stuff abt the students and the interpreter says something else that makes it seem like the pedo is a good guy. Bkg interrupts in a voice that's both concerned and angry.

"Aizawa sensei?" Everyone turns to him but bkg doesnt take his eyes of the russian guy. "What the guy's saying isnt the same as the translation..." the interpreter and pedo are gobsmacked, realizing they might be busted.

"What do you mean?" Mind you, nezu is also there. The students could sense the tension in the room. "The asshole's a pedophile." "Now, now that's a rather bold assumption child" the russian guy says in russian for the interpreter to translate. But before the guy could open his mouth, bkg has his hand up and speaks "and yet I'm not wrong you gross fucker. Now fucking get out of our class, our school and out of japan."

The others realized the gravity of the situation. The pedo and bkg are loudly arguing and the asshole has the audacity to try and grabs bkg's shoulder. Aizawa and Nezu finally snap out of it and jump in to get this guy away while the students make sure bkg is ok. As he's being escorted bkg says "bye bitch!" while flipping him off with both hands.

That's how everyone found out bkg knew russian and among the students it quickly became an iconic sexuality crisis moment.

Ok so the reason bkg knows russian is cuz his parents work with russian companies alot. So he picked it up from there and his parents who speak basic Russian. He was just being an overachiever and practice more. Kariage is the first to know this bcuz whenever bkg gets super flustered (or when they doing the dirty *insert lenny face*) bkg yells out in russian.

This makes kariage both amused and aroused.

Kariage even learned how to say I love you to confess to bkg. Who obviously says yes in Russian as well. It's super wholesome and loving. Eventually kariage learns sweet nothings and innuendos in russian just to tease and make bkg super shy and blushy.

The end.

Hope ya like it and stay safe! ❤

📁 is this where you send the folder emojis??? Ik pretty sure it is. I love your Bakugou centric Headcannons it’s really fun to read them!

🥺❤ Thank you! And it's super fun doing them too! This is my favorite part of tumblr, doing asks. There's just something about them. And I'm rambling haha. Sorry.

I was going through my wattpad (Luna_Dragongem) recently and found my character bio for Kariage AKA Undercut-kun (It's there in my multiverse fic). I hope y'all like it.

---

Given name:

Yusuke (it means healing or support)

Surname:

Kioku (it means memory)

Age:

16

Birthday:

Feb 23

Occupation:

Student (regular school somewhere in the city side of Musutafu. He wants to become therapist, someone who deals with trauma)

Personality:

Chill and laid back. He has a bad habit of smoking but has quit as per Bakugou's request. Uses lollipops and chewing gum for withdrawal. He likes to tease Bakugou (poor boi gets so flustered). He says innuendos from time to time.

Quirk:

Mind Archive (I know it doesn't exactly match his name but idc)

If he touches his index fingers to the temples (right next to eyebrows) of someone's head for 5 seconds, he can look into someone's memories. He can only go through for 5 minutes and only 6 times a day.

Only he can see it unless someone else were to touch him, they continue seeing as long as they touch Yusuke. When using his quirk, his index fingers have a glow to them.

The memories are shown as a screen (Imagine Hibiki from Fairy Tail using Archive magic) the memories are like a video which can be fast forwarded, paused, slowed down and everything like a video. When used, the person who's memories are being seen is unconscious.

Drawbacks are dizziness for Yusuke and the person who views with him. Depending on how long the viewing is, the dizziness either increases or decreases.

Bonds:

Bakugou Katsuki (Boyfriend of 1 and a half years. Started secretly dating during the summer between 2nd and 3rd year of middle school. Came out a few months before the UA entrance exams. They haven't hidden it since, but aren't big on PDA)

Izuku Midoriya (Former bully, stopped in high school. Acquaintances now)

Mount Lady (They met very few times but hit it off regardless, they annoy Bakugou to absolutely no end) <- that one hc of bkg and mount lady bring cousins

Bakugou's parents (Mitsuki gives demonic shovel talks)

Inko (Bakugou and him went and apologized to her about Izuku. Izuku wasn't there. It's a secret between these three since Bakugou wants to atone)

How they come out AKA how I wish to come out:

They go around the neighborhood on kariage's motorcycle and yell. No one really cares cuz they had suspicions. This just confirmed it. I feel like it'd be a conservative town so there would be a little bit of homophobia but no one cares.

---

❤ Hope you like it! I have to say, this is a work I can say I'm proud of in confidence.

I'm particularly happy abt the quirk, would he be a psychologist for heroes to help with trauma or Villains to help them get back on their feet, out into the world? Or would he be a regular psychologist for civilians or children? Who knows! 🤷‍♀️ but I don't want to think about that. He'd just help people wherever he can.

Stay safe and have a lovely day!

Hello and welcome to the official KariKatsu Week Post! This event was put together by so many lovely people in the KariBaku discord server, and will take place February 8th to February 14th, focusing on any and everything Kariage and Katsuki-centric!

For those unaware, Kariage is Katsuki’s old middle school friend with the curly undercut. A niche interest and a rarepair, true, but crazier things have been shipped, haven’t they?

For those curious or wanting to participate, this event will be very casual, mostly due to the time frame. No money will be made off the content created for the week, and all submissions are accepted from full-on chaptered fics and drabbles to sketches and fully rendered artworks. As long as Kariage and Katsuki are the main focus and relationship, whether romantic or platonic, then you’re good!

As for the prompts, here they are!

These are just places to start, though! Feel free to take these and run, tear them to shreds, or set them on fire and dance on the ashes. Stick to these prompts, create your own, or do a mix of both, as long as Kariage and Katsuki are front and center!

I can't wait to see all the amazing things you guys will make! Happy creating!! ♡

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.
