What Is Ur Inspiration

!! THE!! CHEEK!! SPARKLES!! omg i love this headcanon, it’s so friggin adorable. Oh man, it’s so sweet that Kariage’s the only one who knows about them? Like, it’s a literally testament to just how close they are to each other, you know, that they knows things about each other that no one else does. And the way Kariage is the only one who can fluster Katsuki enough for the little sparks to show up? The fact that he’s smug about the fact that his boyfriend is only cute with him? Immaculate.

any bakugou and undercut-kun hc?

Kariage is the only one that knows about a little.... side effect of Katsuki’s quirk. It’s nothing bad, nothing life-threatening, it’s just fucking adorable.

See, if Katsuki gets flustered or blushes hard enough he lets off tiny little star-like sparks all across his cheeks. He can’t control it, can’t stop it, and Kariage adores it.

No one else has gotten Katsuki to do that and he definitely hasn’t told anyone about it, he thinks it’s fucking embarrassing, it’s so stupid and childishly cute.

But Kariage loves it, it’s one of his favourite things about Katsuki. He loves the way he looks when it happens, cheeks all flushed and brows furrowed, nose scrunched up in frustration, all the while his cheeks are covered in bright little sparks. It’s the cutest thing ever. What he loves more than the way it looks, though, is just the fact that he’s the only one that can make it happen. 

Hey, you guys!! Please give this fic the love it deserves, because it is absolutely wonderful. I love how Lupita just so seamlessly wove an amazing story that lasts years in so few words, and made it mean so much?? It’s literal perfection and it needs to be shared with everyone because it made me smile so wide and tear up and the prose is chef’s kiss.

I did it.

if katsuki’s cheeks spark when he’s flustered, does kariage’s ears smoke when /he/ is?

asdfghjk I am looking at this so freaking hard. Like, the cheek sparking thing is not going to be canon in my version of the ‘verse, but the absolute ingeniousness of having Kariage’s ears literally fucking smoke when Katsuki’s being far too cute for his own good?? Immaculate.

Like?? Imagine Kariage literally fucking smoking when Katsuki does anything. Katsuki wears Kariage’s huge ass hoodies? Katsuki curls up in a little ball when he’s sleeping? Katsuki training or working out his backyard? Katuki initating hugs and kisses? Katsuki smiling? Katsuki existing? This all results in Kariage getting so flustered that his ears start smoking and he coughs out smoke, and it’s the cutest, most unexpected thing ever.

asdfghjkl!! This is just absolute perfection, in my honest opinion <33

HITHER I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A TUMBLR SHBJKAHBSKI <3

asdfghjkl!!!! PICHU <33 I barely made it a few days ago, but I was compiling the stuff I needed for the info post, so it took a while to post!!! Also, hey, just so you know - you’re an honest to God angel for listening to my 3 AM rambles about all my random fics and HCs and contributing to my nonsense, so I hope you know that you own like, a quarter of my heart and soul <33

haha not me near to crying tears of joy because one of my favorite content creators acknowledged me im,,, i need some time to recover, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much and so wide and i am just so happy!!! asdfghjkl <33

hi uhm!!! before i get too shy, i just wanted to pop in and say i really really REALLY love your karibaku content and i appreciate so much, especially when it shows up on my dash because!!! it just!!! makes me so happy!!! :D so thanks you a lot for your contributions to our little rarepair, they always make me smile real big <33

Oh my god hi!!!! Thank you so so much, you’re such a sweetheart !! <3 I really love writing for those two idiots, it’s such a fun ship! And I love all the stuff you’ve created for them too, it’s so good!! <3 <3 <3

PICHUUUUU my beloved!!! 🥺👉👈 Darling how do u have the capacity for such sheer kindness and adoration i am. 😭💞💞💞 the amount of joy u bring me. simply insurmountable

love u guys

ed sheeran’s “i don’t care” feels like a song that fits bakugou and kariage perfectly. like,,, it could be baku to kari or the other way around and it’d still make sense

asdfghjk oh my?? oh my gosh, you’re right?? im?? like you said, the lyrics could go both ways and still make complete sense???

Then you take my hand / Finish my drink, say, “Shall we dance?” (Hell, yeah) just spells out Kariage being a smug asshole wanting to show off Katsuki.

You know I love you, did I ever tell ‘ya? feels so Katsuki to me?? like, we all know he says things more with actions than words, but I feel like, if he were ever to get into a relationship, he’d wanna make sure his partner knows what he feels. I mean, Katsuki could be really insecure, I think, and he wouldn’t want people interpreting his feelings wrong, so he’d do his best to show what he means outright.

I always feel like I’m nobody, mmm / Who wants to fit in anyways? is one of those lines that just fits for both of them, y’know? Like, Katsuki is very prideful and says that he’s one of the strongest, but I think, especially post-Sludge Villain, post-Sports Festival, and post-Kamino/kidnapping, he’d have some second thoughts. However, like always, he’d bounce back - he’d see those comments about him being villainous when he shouts and curses, and probably does it twofold, because who wants to be a cookie cutter hero?

With Kariage, I think when he was younger, he was told that he’d never be anything special with a relatively weak Quirk like Smoke, but after befriending Katsuki and realizing that people don’t know shit, he’d pursue his dream of being a Hero regardless of the criticism.

‘Cause I don’t care when I’m with my baby, yeah / All the bad things disappear / And you’re making me feel like maybe I am somebody is just so sweet?? Like, we’ve established that Kariage’s home situation is, like, bad, and the only good thing that came from it was his baby sister. However, just thinking about the fact that Katsuki makes him feel like he could be something greater than an abused kid from the slums makes me so soft.

And?? Katsuki feeling safe around Kariage because he’s one of the few people he knows will never expose his secrets or call him a villain or think him an irredeemable monster?? Katsuki knowing Kariage sees past his abrasive exterior and loves him to his core?? Katsuki loving the fact that Kariage will never expect him to change the way he is, and loves him for who he truly is?? Immaculate.

I can deal with the bad nights / When I’m with my baby, yeah just gives me the uwu’s. Like, imagine: it’s one of the many cold, rainy nights that Kariage has come to the Bakugou’s home, sporting busted lips, a bloody nose, or bruised cheeks, with Kanji huddling for warmth under his sopping wet hoodie. Katsuki doesn’t even have to ask about what happened, already knows about his deadbeat dad and alcoholic mom, he just invites the siblings in. He makes them a hot meal, and when they cuddle up together under the covers, things aren’t perfect, but they’re better.

And Katsuki?? I’m just tearfully thinking about him waking from one of his many nightmares (sludge, muzzle, death, fear, hurt, villain) and his first instinct is to call up Kariage. Maybe they don’t even talk, but Katsuki can always fall back asleep to the sound of Kariage breathing, safe, alive. He doesn’t get nightmares the rest of the night.

lastly: ‘Cause I don’t care as long as you just hold me near / You can take me anywhere / And you’re making me feel like I’m loved by somebody - these lines have so much potential?? Like, it shows how much trust they’d have in each other, especially Katsuki trusting in Kariage?? Because, I mean, Katsuki thrives off being in control of any given situation - as soon as that control begins to slip, he starts feeling at a loss - so Katsuki trusting Kariage enough that he’d let the boy take him anywhere, surprise him with anything?? Perfection.

And, Kariage finally being loved by someone who doesn’t have to love him?? I mean, his parents are shitty, and kids like Kanji love anyone who loves them, so having Katsuki - someone who doesn’t owe Kariage anything - love him is amazing.

Gosh, I really spent like two hours analyzing these lyrics, didn’t I? Anyways, this was fun!! I know you didn’t ask for this, but I’m really hoping you like this bcuz personally, I lowkey teared up at the possibilities <33

Nnnnnnn, I’ve thought so much on how Aizawa would react to Kariage dating Katsuki, and I’ve got a general idea outlined for the official ‘verse, but goddamn, I love the idea of Kariage and Aizawa despising each other.

Like, Aizawa’s just over here trying to protect his pseudo son and keep him away from bad influences that could corrupt him. Then, along comes this delinquent, embodying everything that could hurt Katsuki in the long run, and Aizawa’s on edge, immediately. So, obviously, he decides to make it known to this two-bit thug that Aizawa will ruin his life if he so much as thinks about hurting Katsuki.

On Kariage’s end, I love the idea of him liking that Katsuki has people who love and support and care about him, but, God. Would it kill people to look past appearances and actually understand that Kariage would never hurt Katsuki? And, like, that frustration and annoyance and pettiness just keeps on building up, so when someone important to Katsuki finally speaks up about his concerns, it boils over.

And, I freaking adore how casual and shameless Kariage is - even though he knows he should really be respectful - spouting innuendos when Aizawa’s just over here trying to give a shovel talk asdfghjkl <33

i like the idea of kariage intentionally antagonizing aizawa because he’s so protective of katsuki

like aizawa giving him the shovel talk and kariage just mercilessly making innuendos about katsuki just to set aizawa off

askdsdkaj YES!

Kariage finds it both amusing and only a tiny bit insulting. He’s happy that Katsuki has someone that cares about him so much, he is, but he can’t help but find Aizawa’s threats and speeches absolutely hilarious. But at the same time he just wants to tell him to fuck off cause he wouldn’t dare hurt Katsuki, he would never, so why the fuck is this old man bothering him so much? Thinking that Kariage would actually do anything to upset Katsuki? Ridiculous.

But then Aizawa comes up to him and goes on a rant, “I swear to fucking God, if you step out of line I will not hesitate to punch you. I’m an underground hero, I’m good at hiding my tracks, no one would even know. You better take care of him.”

And Kariage knows he should be polite, he knows he should say something like ‘Of course, Aizawa Sensei, I will protect him with my life,’ but what comes out instead is “Oh, don’t worry,” he smirks and leans in closer, “I’ll take very, very good care of him.”

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.

!!! Hi, yes, I’d like to establish that Kari calling Katsuki any and all petnames currently occupies every braincell I have to spare. Like, the concept of Katsuki, someone most people see as this tough, uber masculine guy just absolutely melting at being called baby and honey, and angel? It’s perfect, it’s literally so freaking amazing and I love it.

And, I absolutely adore how no one says a thing about it. They hear Katsuki be called these sugar sweet terms of endearment and immediately wanna tease him, but then, they see him smile? They see him blush bright red and look away shyly with a small, cute smile and gently shove and Kariage, and he’s looks so happy. Aizawa and the Bakusquad can’t find it in themselves to take that away, and I love that. 

Because, with all the shit Katsuki’s had to deal with and been put through, all the pain and shame and hurt, he deserves everything good. And, if a little petname or two make him happy then that’s perfectly okay.

Hey, I hope school gets better for you, soon! I can definitely relate to the stress and it sucks that you have to deal with that >:( Regardless, I got a headcanon for Kariage, if that's cool! Personally, he gives me the vibe of someone who uses a million and one petnames for his partner, and Baku would 100% be subject to this. I just find it so cute to think about how Baku would react to all the cutesy nicknames and how *others*, like the Bakusquad and Aizawa, would react to them as well! :)

Thank you!! It’s a bit of a struggle now as I’m trying to get into the swing of things once again after months of not attending Uni, plus I have a few scripts to write, some shit to direct, etc. but I’ll figure it out!!

Also!! Yes! I totally agree.

He just has that energy of someone who’s incredibly cocky, very confident and likes to tease and toy with people, that’s the reason he first uses pet-names, he just likes the way it makes Katsuki stutter and blush and tell him to fuck off.

But then, once they get together, he does it because he knows fine well how much Katsuki loves it. He knows because he’s seen that soft little smile that appears on Katsuki’s face whenever he calls him anything remotely sweet.

So he calls him baby, sweetheart, angel, anything and everything he can think of, just to get Katsuki to smile at him like that.

And I think that the first time the class/Aizawa hear Kariage call him pet-names they’re so damn ready to tease him. They’re already thinking of what they’re going to say at him, a lot of them are a few seconds away from laughing at the scene. But then they see the way Katsuki reacts, the smile, the blush, the way he looks down at the floor and bites his lip and slaps Kariage’s shoulder, the taller boy just looking down at him and smiling all proud and smug, and suddenly they have nothing to say. They know that if they say anything, if they do something awful as laugh, it would affect Katsuki, it would make him feel embarrassed and ashamed of liking something as sweet and soft as pet-names. So they keep their mouths shut and pretend they didn’t hear or see anything.
