Can we have a undercut and Katsuki hc and like could you make them skater boysšš
Oh, wow, not me answering asks twelve years late - neverĀ that! Okay, but for real, Iāve lowkey been thinking about a Skater Katsucrew AU for awhile now. Iām 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 Iāll guess Iāll just do that dkfjhdjsk
Okay, so!! Kariageās your classic skateboarder. He made his first one out of old scrap wood and bought his first realĀ one years later after he fell in love and decided to save up for one. Heās got a bunch of scars from falling and the rough edges of his homemade board scratching him. Heās 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. Itās relaxing to him.
Yasushi is a longboarder. Heās knows a few tricks, but mostly prefers cruising - especially down empty roads or on his way home from school, where thereās not that much foot traffic. He learned because he got jealous of Kariageās interest in skateboarding when they were kids, but made the switch to the more casual board after a bad fall.
Mitoās a biker. Solidly built with thick tires and a more filled out frame, her bike looks like a mainstream dirt bike, but thatās mostly because she built it to withstand some pretty harsh crashes. She doesnāt know too many tricks, mostly because her bikeās too big for doing most of them without her screwing up or falling, but she loves having races with anyone whoāll go against her.
Henshuu has a scooter. Sheās not that interested in using it for tricks or to try to impress people, and she is fullyĀ aware that riding on it makes people think sheās 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 someoneās ankles when theyāre being annoying.
Katsuki has inline skates. This may be surprising to most people, since he so much looks like someone whoād use some other sort of wheels, but it actually fits him best. He doesnāt 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 canāt come off with ease makes it effortless to do tricks and seamless moves without a second thought.
Seikaās a rollerskater. Sheās 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 teamās jammerĀ since sheās the fastest and most flexible on account of her small size, and itās not rare to see her practicing evasive maneuvers and racing her friends to get better.
Hifue is a figure skater. Sheās got that fancy feel, yāknow? I donāt know, but the vibeĀ 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 madeĀ for it - itās perfect. Figure skating for her is not simply a skill to master or a way to make people oohĀ and ahh, itās a way of life to her, something so ingrained that being off the ice feels foreign.
Anyways!! In this AU, Iām imagining that the squad starts off split up. Youāve got Kariās gang: him and Yasu and Mito, just a bunch of bad kids on boards and a bike. Theyāre knownĀ as those kids who practically live at the skate park, and you canāt 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 Katsukiās crew. Itās odd, seeing him and Seika and Henshuu together - they donāt really fit as well as most people think friends should: Katsukiās loud and brash, Seikaās shy and sweet, and Henshuuās bold and sly. But Katsuki and Seikaās similar styles and Henshuuās 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 Kariās shoulder because of the one row skates he wears, scrunching his nose at the sight of the board that rests against Kariageās 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 canātĀ 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 heād admit it or anything, but Kari can see the twitch of Katsukiās eyebrows and the light in his eyes and he smirks because Katsukiās not as slick as he thinks, trying to hide his amazement.
Then, Seika, ever the sweetheart, brings in a new member - Hifue, whoās 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 - itās gonna make my heart explode from the sheer cuteness.
Just,,, Katsucrew on Wheels AU,,, pls.
i saw ur title in my recommended and i came as fast as i could
!!! AHH IāM SO HAPPY YOUāRE HERE!!! <3 i really love when new people come to my lil corner of tumblrĀ šš i hope you enjoy your stay here :DD
breathes heavilyĀ 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 donāt know how to describe it,,, but you can practicallyĀ seeĀ how Katsuki is just the center of his universe in those two moments?? And how Katsukiās trying his best to make it seem like he personally doesnāt care if Kariās there or not, but heās still letting him close??Ā š I love them so freaking muchhh.
Anyways, Iām pretty sure thatās what Iām trying to convey!! Also, this is maybe kinda off topic, but I really like how you draw their hair?? Katsukiās is so perfectly spikey and Kariās messy hair is just too adorable <33
åćå
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 yearsĀ in so few words, and made it mean so much?? Itās literal perfection and it needsĀ to be shared with everyone because it made me smile so wide and tear up and the prose is chefās kiss.

I did it.
!! THIS!! GAB THIS IS PERFECT!!
OMG, I just asdfghjkl I love how theyāre so careful with each other, that despite their years of being together, they know that having this secret little code makes sure that they never feel unsafe around each other!! I loveĀ the good communication trope, especially for these two. Also, can I please say that itās amazing that the little code helps bothĀ of them? Like, itās not one-sided, because it provides safety and security to both boys, I love it.
AND!! And the rest of the Katsucrew picking up the code? I love it, itās so cute and in character for these little losers. Also, the little hint about theirĀ tree is so freaking adorable. And, AAHHHSDFGHJK the ending? Iām,, catch me crying the club. Perfection is overrated, they have each other,, Iām,,, sobbing. This is so cute!!! Youāre such an angel for providing this <33
š undercut-kun x katsuki Jk jk jk haha Unlessšš (You're the only one feeding me with his shipš)
(if you catch me replying to asks months late, nO YOU DIDNāT)
Kariage (undercut-kun) and Bakugou have been dating since middle school, itās in context that theyāve spent years getting to know each other, working around one anotherās insecurities and weaknesses. Kariage especially to Bakugou, after the sludge villain, sports festival, kidnapping, fights, etc., heās 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 youāre 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.Ā
This is done to not surprise Bakugou or Kariage at the sudden contact, to not activate their fight or flight response. This stemmed from Bakugouās traumas of people grabbing him and Kariage with his abusive parents. Itās 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 theyāre doing, they stop and try to leave (if theyāre with other people) and goes to a certain safe place, like Bakugouās 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 theyāre okay again.
With this, they built trustĀ and boundaries, something Bakugouās 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. Theyāve 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 couldnāt be happier as the signs they use become an unspoken thing between the group. No questions asked, theyāre simply there for one another. They might not be perfect, but theyāll go through everything and anything together.
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,,, katsukiās little chubby cheeks and grumpy face,,, kariageās messy hair and the way you drew the smoke,,, and dehisa looking like an absolute assholeĀ in ways i cannot verbalize,,, im love they
Bad kids
if katsukiās cheeks spark when heās flustered, does kariageās 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 theĀ āverse, but the absolute ingeniousness of having Kariageās ears literally fucking smokeĀ when Katsukiās being far too cute for his own good?? Immaculate.
Like?? Imagine Kariage literally fucking smokingĀ when Katsuki does anything. Katsuki wears Kariageās huge ass hoodies? Katsuki curls up in a little ball when heās 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 itās the cutest, most unexpected thing ever.
asdfghjkl!! This is just absolute perfection, in my honest opinion <33
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 conceptĀ 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 heās having fun and like!! Fidning this little flower that reminds him of his Bestest Everest Friend and!! Him picking it specificallyĀ for Katsuki because it made him think of Katsuki?? Please, youāre making me far too soft howĀ š„ŗ
sunflower head or dandelion head?
LMAOOO NOT @ ME POSTING THE ART SITTING IN MY GALLERY LIKE š§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 whatās happening in the manga. I SWEAR.
I AM NOT CHECKING MY TWITTER FOR THAT S O L E R E A S O N.
does the katsucrew apologize to izuku?
Okay, so, I hope you donāt mind, but Iām going to preface this answer with a bit of a warning: some people might not necessarily like my answer to this, however, Iām taking from my own experiences of being bullied, so please know that this has influenced how Iām answering this ask. Thank you for understanding!!
So, the thing is, the only two of the group that canonically bully Deku are Katsuki and Yasushi. You can have different opinions on whether Kariage was a bully or not, but I donāt actually consider him one! Thus, I donāt think heād necessarily oweĀ Deku an apology.
As for the rest of the Katsucrew: I think, overall, itād vary.
For example, while Seika was shown to be one of the classmates to laugh when itās revealed Deku wanted to go to UA, her character in the Undercut-verse is that of someone whoād be at least a little bit nice to even people she doesnāt like or care about. Iām considering whether or not I want her to apologize, but know that if she does, itād be more of a general apology about what Deku went through rather than any one specific instance involving her.
Mito, another one of the crew canonically shown to laugh at Deku, I feel would contribute more in teasing Deku rather than outright bullying him. Because of this, she probably wouldnāt view her actions as being all that bad, especially in contrast to how other people treated him and most likely wouldnāt even think that itās worth apologizing about.
Hifue would 100% call Katsuki out if he ever went too far, as would the rest of the crew. However, as someone who understands emotions in a rather distant way and regards Deku rather neutrally, sheād probably be one of the ones to not really care about the whole situation, especially since she doesnāt consider Deku a friend.
Henshuu, I feel, wouldnāt like Deku. Sheās portrayed as someone who respects those that put in work and actively pursue their goals, so Dekuās complete lack of work ethic in regards to his dreams would most likely grate at her nerves. I know that she wouldnāt be on Katsukiās level, but she was one of the gang who probably pushed Deku around a bit when they were younger. As for an apology, I donāt think sheād give one, as sheās someone very prideful and stubborn, but who knows where the āverse will take us?
However, out of the whole crew, I think the only one Deku would actively dislike would be Yasushi, who may or may not apologize and was, from what weāve seen, nearly just as much of an asshole to Deku as Katsuki was. Heād also have a very neutral view of Kariage, someone who never outright bullied him but stood by while it happend. However, heād probably harbor some jealously of the boy, considering his close relationship with Katsuki that was formed in half the time Deku knew Katsuki.
Please note that these interpretations might change come the actual story, but this is what I have for right now!!
ed sheeranās āi donāt careā feels like a song that fits bakugou and kariage perfectly. like,,, it could be baku to kari or the other way around and itād still make sense
asdfghjk oh my?? oh my gosh, youāre right?? im?? like you said, the lyrics could go both ways andĀ still make complete sense???
Then you take my hand / Finish my drink, say,Ā āShall we dance?ā (Hell, yeah)Ā just spells out Kariage being a smug asshole wanting to show off Katsuki.
You know I love you, did I ever tellĀ āya?Ā 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, heād wanna make sure his partner knows what he feels. I mean, Katsuki could be reallyĀ insecure, I think, and he wouldnāt want people interpreting his feelings wrong, so heād do his best to show what he means outright.
I always feel like Iām nobody, mmm / Who wants to fit in anyways?Ā is one of those lines that just fitsĀ for both of them, yāknow? Like, Katsuki is very prideful and says that heās one of the strongest, but I think, especially post-Sludge Villain, post-Sports Festival, and post-Kamino/kidnapping, heād have some second thoughts. However, like always, heād bounce back - heād 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 heād never be anything special with a relatively weak Quirk like Smoke, but after befriending Katsuki and realizing that people donāt know shit, heād pursue his dream of being a Hero regardless of the criticism.
āCause I donāt care when Iām with my baby, yeah / All the bad things disappear / And youāre making me feel like maybe I am somebodyĀ is just so sweet?? Like, weāve established that Kariageās 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 heās 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 Iām with my baby, yeahĀ just gives me the uwuās. Like, imagine: itās one of the many cold, rainy nights that Kariage has come to the Bakugouās home, sporting busted lips, a bloody nose, or bruised cheeks, with Kanji huddling for warmth under his sopping wet hoodie. Katsuki doesnāt 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 arenāt perfect, but theyāre better.
And Katsuki?? Iām 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 donāt even talk, but Katsuki can always fall back asleep to the sound of Kariage breathing, safe, alive. He doesnāt get nightmares the rest of the night.
lastly:Ā āCause I donāt care as long as you just hold me near / You can take me anywhere / And youāre making me feel like Iām loved by somebodyĀ - these lines have so much potential?? Like, it shows how much trust theyād 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 heād let the boy take him anywhere, surprise him with anything?? Perfection.
And, Kariage finally being loved by someone who doesnāt have to love him?? I mean, his parents are shitty, and kids like Kanji love anyone who loves them, so having Katsuki - someone who doesnāt owe Kariage anything - love him is amazing.
Gosh, I really spent like two hours analyzing these lyrics, didnāt I? Anyways, this was fun!! I know you didnāt ask for this, but Iām really hoping you like this bcuz personally, I lowkey teared up at the possibilities <33
wow :))) you really :))) love tearing :))) my heart out :))) donāt you? :)))
No, but this, for real, made me teary eyed. Like, the concept of Kariage being the only one who cared forĀ Katsuki despite there being so many people Katsuki cares about? The way cigarettes/smoke, the color black, sneaking out reminded Katsuki of his sweetheart? How Katsuki never had win with Kariage, because he was already so good, so perfect in the eyes of his boyfriend? Catch me crying in the club, this shit hurts.
[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]
Kariage dies from lung cancer due to his smoking habits during Bakugouās 2nd year and fuck, Bakugou knew this was coming, knew that itāll be sooner that later but he still canāt 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 canāt help think about how theyāre 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, itās like heās there beside him again. But thatās just it right? That smoke is the reason heās gone. Funny how that works.
He canāt 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 isnāt there to watch him grow as a hero and as a person (like Kariage said he would). Canāt 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 heās proud heās made it, he worked and bled for this. But the one person that supported him since day one wasnāt there to watch the stars with him until sunrise that night. He thought the day heāll reach number one will be the best day of his life, but itās not. Not without him, the only person that mattered. He realizes after everything that his greatest goal in life wasnāt victory, because he was already a winner with Kariage.Ā
And now he isnāt.
