Oh MY GODksJGHDKJhagsfdadAGHdfskjdrjdkl?!?!?!?!?

hi yes i absolutely fucking love this??? omg the fact that Katsuki cant say no to Kariage even if it involves doing dubious things? the way Katsuki holds Kariage’s hand and gets laughed at about his little lisp? the hints at Kariage’s less than spectacular home life? the image of Katsuki continuing to get piercings, Kariage with him each time? all of 1a thirsting over pierced Katsuki? simply immaculate, i love it.

📂📂📂bakugou with lip/tongue piercing????

The tongue piercing was, admittedly, a bad choice. 

Well, not really a bad choice per se, but Katsuki knew he should’ve gone about getting it a different way, and he also should’ve waited until he was out of middle school and away from his dumbass impulsive friend (Undercut-Kun) who somehow always managed to talk him into making the worst decisions. It didn’t matter that they were minors, it didn’t matter that their parents had no idea where they were going or what they were doing (although, Undercut’s parents didn’t particularly care, anyways, they were too busy drinking and popping pills to give a shit about what their kid was doing in his spare time). Honestly, Katsuki had no idea how that fucker managed to drag him into that hellhole. Cause that’s what it was - an absolute disaster of a neighbourhood, far too sketchy for two stupid kids to be walking around. But they didn’t care, no, they were headed to some guy Undercut knew who didn’t really care about their age or their parents and would happily pierce whatever body part they wanted pierced. And so Katsuki settled for his tongue cause it was easy to hide from his parents who he rarely spoke to anyways and Undercut wanted his brow done. No problem. They were in an out of the place within a few minutes and Katsuki would never admit to anyone that he grabbed Undercut’s hand during the process.

Regardless of how they got the piercings they still loved them. Yeah, having a lisp for a few days sucked but Katsuki just kept his mouth shut and ignored the snickers Undercut let out whenever he accidentally spoke in front of him. But Katsuki loved that stupid piercing and once it was healed he toyed around with it all the damn time. Eventually he wanted more but he knew his parents wouldn’t really let him get one.

Then he moved into the dorms, though, and he decided ‘fuck it’ and he called up Undercut and they went back to that shady place and while Katsuki got his lip done Undercut got an industrial. Again, they loved that shit.

Katsuki was a bit too oblivious to notice the stares of his classmates, though. The way their eyes lingered on his piercings and the gasps they let out when they saw he has his fucking tongue pierced.

Eventually, as his collection of piercings grew, everyone got used to it, but they never got over just how hot Katsuki looked with all the jewellery hanging off his body.

Okay first of all ur headcannons r so good,, second of all u seem so sweet wtf be my friend,, third of all when I saw u mention writing a spinoff just yeesssssss!!!

!! AHH, Anon, you’re so kind to me <33 Of course I’ll be your friend!!

And, yes!! I’m actually planning several spinoffs and AUs of this ‘verse, but the main ones are a Fantasy AU oneshot, the Training of the Dead OVA spinoff AU, a vigilante Katsucrew AU, and a future fic where Kariage is a police officer. If you wanna know more about any of these in detail, please do ask about them - I love answering asks!! <33

kariage my beloved <3

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

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!! ♡

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

Okay, can I just say that I freaking love outsider POV, especially when it comes to secret relationship fics?? Something about is just so chef’s kiss, I don’t know why, but it is.

Kariage and Katsuki’s secret meetings to get pierced and no one knowing where Katsuki’s going, who he’s going with, and why he’s going? Perfect, I love it. Plus, I adore the idea of 1A seeing the two of them interact and having no idea what to do or how to react. I mean, Kariage positively radiates Big Bad Boy energy - he’s wearing ripped jeans and leather, got painted nails and a shit ton of piercings, and it’s obvious he’s a smoker. And the fact that he gets away with calling Katsuki his given name and some cutesy petname?? The class is confused and livid.

asdfghjkl I LOVE obviously possessive Kariage who smugly shows off his boyfriend to a simultaneously jealous and enraged 1A - it’s amazing. Also, you own my heart for having Katsuki get nipple piercings, that’s one of my favorite HCs and I feel like it’d 100% happen at some point with Kariage knowing influence.

📁 look I'm a slut for pov outsider, bakubowl and Baku with piercing sooo I wanted to know what do you think about class 1-A finding out katsuki x undercut-kun. I'm a weak woman with else can I do except beg for more of my favorite content😭😭

Ok I just gotta say that pov outsider is highkey one of my fav things too.

No one really knows about how close they are and their little tradition with the piercings, not even Izuku. No one knows that they call each other and straight away they go to some shady location and get something pierced. All they know is that every once in a while Katsuki will disappear and when he comes back his clothes is all ruffled, his lips are red and there’s a new piercing somewhere on his body.

They find out about it when the class is out at the mall one day. They’d just gotten dropped off and so they’re still all together in one location. But just as they’re about to separate and go off in different directions they hear a deep and raspy voice calling out Katsuki’s name.

At first they think Katsuki will blow up, explode and yell cause no one calls him by his first name, but then they look at him and he’s fucking smiling and he’s walking towards someone before they... hug? What the fuck?!

They’re watching as Katsuki holds onto this damn... delinquent. This stranger with his stupid messy hair and shitty undercut and his leather jacket and ripped jeans and the cigarette behind his ear and all they can think about is how much of a cliche bad boy he is but he still somehow makes it look good.

They also notice all the piercings covering his ear and his face, as well as the black nail polish he has on. They don’t know if they have a crush on the dude or if they want to punch him cause he’s so damn close to Katsuki.

They accidentally overhear them talking, the Undercut dude speaking in low tones, “wanna go get something else done, kitty Kat?”

And first of all, how dare he? None of them are allowed to call him sweet nicknames! How come he gets to call him that? And second of all... What the fuck is he even talking about?

But they don’t even have time to think about it cause before they know it Katsuki is nodding excitedly and waving back at them as he walks off.

To make matters worse Undercut turns towards them and winks as he throws his arm over Katsuki’s shoulders.

And when Katsuki comes back and tells them he got another piercing which they can fucking see on his damn nipple through the stupid tight tank-top he’s wearing all they can think about is how they hate the undercut guy.

[2/2 Continuation of THIS Post]

Now, while everything at the Sports Festival was happening, there were people at home watching the broadcasts. Watching Katsuki chained and muzzled to the podium, watching Mito chew out All MIght and Midnight, watching as the crowd devolved into shouts of “Let him go!”, watching as Katsuki was finally released and allowed to leave, watching as things were thrown from the stands, watching as the second and third placers reluctantly took their medals before hurriedly leaving the stadium.

There was the League of Villains, who watched as a child got chained up by so-called Paragons of Virtue. Who watched as no one did anything until another child spoke up. who watched a powerful child stumble away with fear and hurt in his eyes. Who watched as people still supported the Heroes and gave excuses.

They see Bakugou Katsuki, a future recruit.

But we aren’t focusing on the League of Villains. No, we are looking at the Katsucrew:

Seika, who stared at the TV screen with furrowed brows and teary-eyes, so confused, so heartbroken. Who picked up her phone and called up Mito to get the full story. Who cried when Katsuki told her that it was fine, he was acting up, he should’ve just accepted the medal.

Kariage, who threw a mug at the wall, uncaring of the broken shards and the fact that his mother screamed herself hoarse at him. Who picked up the phone when Seika called, in tears, and agreed to meeting up. Who grabbed Kanji and hauled ass to the crew’s meetup spot.

Henshuu, who sat in shock at the broadcast. Who tried so hard to keep from screaming in rage that she bit her lip bloody. Who threw her responsibilities at her older siblings just to sneak out the house and meet up with her friends.

Yasushi, who took his first ever day off of work just to make sure his friend was okay. Who grabbed Katsuki’s favorite snacks from his family’s konbini. Who snarked at a stranger on the train who claimed Katsuki would fit better as a villain.

The crew all gather at the Warehouse Roof by the time the sun is setting, Mito and Hifue arriving last with a quiet Katsuki. He beelines straight to Kariage, who holds the younger boy in a tight hug. One by one, the rest of the crew join in, Kanji curled in Katsuki’s arms as the kids comfort their friend.

“You did nothing wrong,” Seika whispers hoarsely.

“You didn’t deserve what they did,” Mito murmurs.

“Not your fault,” echo both Hifue and Yasushi.

“I’ll kick their asses, see if I care,” grumbles Henshuu.

“Shuu!” Seika scolds as Kanji giggles at the curse.

Katsuki snorts, smiling softly in the middle of the hug.

“We’re here for you, ‘Suki.” Kariage kisses the top of his head, tightening his arms around his smaller boyfriend. And, Katsuki doesn’t reply, but when he reaches for Kariage’s hand and squeezes three times, eyes shining with unshed tears, the crew all know their boy was gonna be okay.

“I love you too, baby,” Kariage whispers.

!!! The fact that you feed us rarepair shippers so well is so amazing of you, Gab. Like?? The pure perfection of this? I fucking teared up reading this, I had to read it multiple times, Gab, it was that amazing, okay? Everything about this story is absolutely exquisite - Katsuki becoming Number One, Aizawa and the class crying because they’re so proud, the proposal scene??? It was so beautiful, Gabby, like??? The way you worded everything made it all the more perfect and you are literally one of my favorite people ever <33
