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.

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

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

any headcanons??

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

1: Leather Harnesses

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

2: Tide pod Challenge

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

3: Soulmate AU with Dumbasses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And bakugou be simping H A R D

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

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

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

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

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

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

And find out that its kariage.

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

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

📂📂📂

Hc disney fanatic bkg.

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

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

Will definitely about sad parts or deaths.

Seeks comfort from the katsucrew and babbles to them.

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

This boi is just loving Disney more than his bf.

And Kariage wont say anything because:

A) bkg is adorable and deserves the world.

B) he also loves disney.

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

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

Yeah that's it.

Hope you like it. Stay safe ❤❤❤

📂♥️❤

❤❤❤

Ok so. Drunk Katsucrew.

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

Katsuki is the giggly drunk, total light weight.

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

Hifue is semi weight and the crybaby type.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Also this was heavily inspired by Fairy Tail OVA 9.

Any fairy tail OVA or episode reminds me of katsucrew.

Hope you have a nice day and stay safe.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After that, the crew unanimously decided to help.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’ve talked about this before on Bunny’s server even before I posted the art I did of Seika, but this is 100% her. Separately, each part of any of her outfits could be considered decent - pretty, even!! However, Seika can and will combine 300 different prints and patterns to create the ugliest fucking outfit ever and she’ll proudly wear it.

Mito adores her girlfriend’s ugly clothes and Kanji loves the bright colors and flower patterns. Kariage honestly finds her fashion sense hilarious, but Katsuki positively vibrates with lividity every time he has to see her eyesore outfits and would 100% set them on fire given the chance.

Honestly I love ironically ugly clothes. Like. Hideous in a special way. If it’s not inherently hideous I’ll match it until it is.

I definitely would love to hear more details about all your spinoffs, especially that katsucrew vigilante one!!

Awe, Anon, you’re so kind! Okay, so since you specifically asked for the Vigilante AU, I’m going to expand most on that one, if that’s cool with you!! <33

So, I’ve talked about this AU like, once or twice on Bunny’s server, and it actually originally started as just an idea for Kariage to be a vigilante, but the longer I thought about it, the more possibilities arose. Thus, Vigilante Katsucrew was born.

Hifue is behind-the-scenes, the one who determines and locates targets; obtains and organizes information gathered from police reports, kariage’s info brokering, and the Hero Network; and sets up patrol routes and times for the Katsucrew so they can cover as much of Musutafu as they can. Mito is their support: she designs and builds gear, tools, and weapons from scrap material she secretly collects from the Support classes. She’s also acts as a briefer and runs interference when one of the crew needs to pull away from a situation or needs backup.

The both of them still attend UA, and keep their vigilante work on the downlow to keep from being caught.

Seika is the only one between Kariage, Henshuu, and herself that still goes to Moushou Academy. As a result, her patrols are closer to home and last a shorter amount of time than the others’ do. To make up for this, she does a lot of research and investigative work in her spare time, helping to tracks down villains with Hifue and looking for loopholes in Hero law that’d keep her friends safe.

Yasushi, while he doesn’t necessarily do vigilante work, mentions a lot of what he hears on the streets and in the places he works to the crew. He also helps coordinate patrol routes when he knows certain people (targets) are going to be at a specific place. He’s also the one to check in with the crew alongside Seika to make sure they’re not overworking themselves.

Kariage and Henshuu are the ones most involved in hands-on vigilante work. Kariage prefers to work in the shadows, gathering information by spying, bartering, and blackmailing; sneaking around villain and criminal hotspots to scope out targets; and building up connections and collecting favors that’d help the crew in the long run.

In contrast, Henshuu is their most out-there member. She acts as the bruiser of the group, and her patrols are often dangerous, which is why Kariage sometimes joins her. On her patrols, she does what her unofficial role implies, and has a reputation of beating up murderers, abusers, pedophiles and assaulters before dropping them off in front of police stations.

All in all, the group is doing so much good. People hail them as heroes, and refuse to give information to detectives because what’re the police going to do? Arrest the entire population of Musutafu? Fat chance. And, the funny thing is, they think they’re being so secretive, but Katsuki 100% knows what his crew of dumbasses are up to. And, hey, if he purposefully drops little bits of info here and there, things he’s heard in passing and knows would help his band of idiots, then no one has to know.

Eventually, it all comes to a head when Katsuki invites Kariage and the Katsucrew to the dorms to hang out. Aizawa, being one of the few to know the faces of three of the crew (Smoke Screen, Kadou, Transient) is immediately on guard. However, as time goes on and he sees Katsuki be so happy, he puts aside his worries. After all, if these kids (God, they’re so young) can make Katsuki act like an actual teenager, make him smile and laugh without reservations, then how bad can they truly be?

He doesn’t mention the kids at the next meeting about Musutafu’s own vigilantes.

-

As for the other AUs, they’re a bit less detailed! The fantasy AU is a oneshot I’m hoping to finish by next week as somewhat of a test drive to practice writing the crew.

The Cop Kariage AU is, personally, one of the ones I’m looking forward to writing the most. It’s a future fic set in Katsuki’s third year at UA with him and detective-in-training Kariage meeting in the middle of a crime scene. And, honestly? It features Katsuki being the Gay Disaster he is at heart, so if you wanna ask for more info about this one, please do, because I can and will scream about this idea for hours on end <33

does the katsucrew apologize to izuku?

Okay, so, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to preface this answer with a bit of a warning: some people might not necessarily like my answer to this, however, I’m taking from my own experiences of being bullied, so please know that this has influenced how I’m 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 don’t actually consider him one! Thus, I don’t think he’d necessarily owe Deku an apology.

As for the rest of the Katsucrew: I think, overall, it’d vary.

For example, while Seika was shown to be one of the classmates to laugh when it’s revealed Deku wanted to go to UA, her character in the Undercut-verse is that of someone who’d be at least a little bit nice to even people she doesn’t like or care about. I’m considering whether or not I want her to apologize, but know that if she does, it’d 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 wouldn’t view her actions as being all that bad, especially in contrast to how other people treated him and most likely wouldn’t even think that it’s 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, she’d probably be one of the ones to not really care about the whole situation, especially since she doesn’t consider Deku a friend.

Henshuu, I feel, wouldn’t like Deku. She’s portrayed as someone who respects those that put in work and actively pursue their goals, so Deku’s complete lack of work ethic in regards to his dreams would most likely grate at her nerves. I know that she wouldn’t be on Katsuki’s level, but she was one of the gang who probably pushed Deku around a bit when they were younger. As for an apology, I don’t think she’d give one, as she’s someone very prideful and stubborn, but who knows where the ‘verse 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 we’ve seen, nearly just as much of an asshole to Deku as Katsuki was. He’d also have a very neutral view of Kariage, someone who never outright bullied him but stood by while it happend. However, he’d 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!!

after the sports festival how do you think the katsucrew would act towards the teachers at UA, especially all night and midnight, and the students, who stood by and did nothing even though they claimed to be katsuki’s friend???? (sorry but ur sports festival headcannon just hit me straight in the feels like sh*tttttt) (also I’m so happy I found ur tumblr ur undercut ‘verse seeems so interesting,, I love it!!!)

OMG you’re sweet!! Okay, so in the canon ‘verse, the crew doesn’t actually have much interaction with any of UA’s teachers except for Aizawa, which mostly happens post-kidnapping. However!! After the Sports Festival, the crew stops being so outwardly supportive of Heroes, the situation sinking in as a failure and mistake on the part of Heroes who refuse to make things right.

Both Kariage and Hifue never really went through a Hero worship phase, mostly because they’re both highly suspicious and untrusting of authority figures, so the rest of the Katsucrew already knows their stance on things. They both hate the Heroes from the Sports Festival, unwilling to forgive them even if an apology was issued.  Henshuu is mostly just severely disappointed in what the teachers did, not willing to let them off the hook even after Katsuki tells the crew that it’s fine.

Seika, on the other hand, always had the best idea of Heroes, believing they did their job to save and protect people. Post-Sports Festival, though, she begins to realize that her previous assessment of most Heroes was wrong, and she stops her outward support of a lot of Heroes she once had respect for. Mito and Yasushi, both having never wanted to be Heroes, don’t find it difficult at all to pull apart and condemn the wrongful actions of Heroes.

As for the students that stood by, Kariage and Mito are the only ones of the group who actively dislike them, though they don’t make it known, not wanting Katsuki to not make friends because of their opinions. Hifue recognizes that, as kids, they weren’t responsible for the actions of adults, and Seika just wished someone would’ve stepped in to prevent it from happening in the first place. 

Yasushi is neutral to the 1A kids, knowing they probably could’ve stepped in, but he doesn’t exactly blame them for letting it happen -  I mean, if All Might did something, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone to denounce his actions, you know? Henshuu is the only one who actively shows her dislike of 1A, refusing to make conversation and always grumbling around them. Katsuki doesn’t make her stop, and secretly likes that she’s willing to be disliked just to show her support for him.

As I said, the kids don’t exactly have too much interactions with the teachers, so it’s bit hard to theorize from what I do have planned and outlined. However!! I am planning to write a spinoff AU based on the Training of the Dead OVA for this ‘verse, where Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu’s Hero school is the one to have a joint training with UA instead of Isamu Academy High School. So, those three do get to have more interactions with All MIght and 1A in this specific spinoff fic.

[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.

What are your thoughts on the sports festival and bakugou getting muzzled? How do you think the undercut-verse plays in it? Also I just really love you. Undercut-kun x bakugou is one of the my otps (though every ship with bakugou is my otp except for the cursed ones) and the fact that you provide us with all this beautiful content makes me so happy🥺. Love ya ❤

!!! Okay, the Sports Festival and the whole situation afterwards plays out very differently than it does in canon. Originally, I was going to have Kariage physically be there, but then I remembered he’s supposed to be lower-income in the story. The same goes for Seika, who’s parents are middle-class but frugal, and Henshuu, whose family can’t afford unnecessary things when they have to take care of eight kids. Yasushi also probably wouldn’t be able to afford Sports Festival tickets.

Also, this answer got kind of long, so I’m going to split it in half - the first for the actual Sports Festival situation, and the second for the aftermath.

So, the only ones actually there when Katsuki is chained and muzzled on live television are Mito and Hifue. They’re not together at the time, sitting with their respective courses and classes but when the podium is raised, Mito takes off running to where Hifue is sitting. They’re shocked at first, and Mito understandably thinks that there has to be a mistake. However, Hifue regrettably tells her that it’s clear no one else thinks something is wrong.

They might not be Hero students, but they’re not going to stand back when something bad is happening.

All Might arrives, landing right in front of the podium. He turns to take the medals from Midnight when, all of a sudden, something small smacks him in the shoulder. The small rock drops to the ground, Hifue’s telekinesis deactivating, and there’s silence in the crowd, people staring straight at Hifue and Mito who stand, faces screwed up in hateful glares.

“Let him go!” Mito shouts angrily, “What the fuck is that! He’s literally chained to a fucking pillar! Let him go, dammit!”

Murmurs pass through the crowd as All Might, shocked, stammers. “Young - Young lady, you must calm down, this is simply a precaution - “

Mito literally growls, stomping as close to the barrier of the seating area as she can, leaning over the rail and screaming out. “Shut the fuck up! Precaution, my ass. He’s a fucking kid! You muzzled a kid! What type of hero does that shit?”

Midnight clears her throat, “Ma’am, as a student of UA, you must respect your teachers. Bakugou needs to accept his medal, and he’s acting - “

Hifue sneers as Mito cuts Midnight off, eyes enraged: “Acting what!? Acting what!? Like he woke up chained and muzzled!? Like he wants to get out!? Fuck your medal! Leave him the hell alone!”

Hifue looks down at the two teachers and speaks clearly for all to hear: “You’re not acting like teachers or Heroes - your actions are downright villainous.”

This shuts the Hero up, leaving those in the crowd to furiously whisper. There is nothing for a few seconds before a voice echoes from across the near silent stadium: “Let him go!” Heads turn - it’s a girl, maybe nineteen or so, standing tall despite the hands of her friends trying to tug her down. From a few rows down, the call is echoed, this time from a little boy around nine. His mom nods once and stands with him. “Let him go!”

From the general course section, a purple haired boy leans over the rail, cups his hands around his mouth and hoarsely repeats, “Let him go!” All around the stadium, a chant starts up, people clamoring up from their seats and echoing the call. There’s hesitation in some, voices mere whispers, but they rise in volume until the crowd is in an uproar. Even the boys in second and third place seem to be echoing the phrase.

Mito is shouting the loudest, fist raised high in the air, eyes locked on Katsuki’s red-rimmed ones.

All Might and Midnight attempt to quiet to crowd in vain, eventually giving up when the chant becomes deafening. Rushing, Midnight hands the keys over and All Might hurriedly releases Katsuki, stepping forward as if to speak to the boy. Katsuki flinches back, betrayal clear in his eyes as he stumbles off the stage in a rush.

He heads to one of the exits, and Mito and Hifue rush to meet him halfway. They leave to the sound of “Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!” and the sight of food and drinks being thrown from the stands - a show of disrespect to the Heroes and their villainous actions.

[End of Part 1/2 of Answer]

Ooooo can we have some more headcannons about the katsucrew !!! (Also I’ve been so into undercut-kun x Katsuki lately and this account is a godsend! thank you!!!)

asdfghjk omg Anon, you’re so sweet!!! Also, yes, of course you can have more Katsucrew headcanons. I dunno if you were in bunny’s server when I posted all the ones I had, but for those who weren’t, here are some of them!!

So, starting with Seika!! She’s a real sweetheart, a bit of an airhead when it comes to social situations, but very book smart. She’s especially fixated on plant science, especially since she often uses the flowers, roots, herbs, and leaves she finds in her baking and in making medicinal tonics and salves. Additionally, due to her love for all things nature, she’s obsessed with wearing floral patterns with every outfit, often resulting in the clashing prints and colors that Katsuki despises.

Kariage is older than the rest of the Katsucrew, being seventeen, and, combined with how he raised his little sister from birth, often acts older than he is. He’s the first to tease and make fun of his friends, but he’ll beat up the first person who says anything bad about the crew. When he got old enough for a license, he got his hands on a motorcycle. Now, it features art that every member of the crew helped to design, and something that represents each crew member (i.e.: explosions and grenades for Katsuki, fire decals for Mito, water bubbles for Henshuu, etc.).

Mito is one of the few in the Katsucrew that can actually cook, often competing with Katsuki to make the best version of complicated dishes. She’s also a bit of a bad girl, despite being enrolled at UA, often partaking in underage drinking and buying weed from Yasushi. Despite this, however, she’s a model student, one of the top in the first year Support Course and always up to use her skills for good.

Henshuu is a bit of a wildcard in some people’s eyes. She’s small and wears her hair in pigtails, but, as a skilled boxer and martial artist, she’s also one of the only ones in the Katsucrew who can actually take Katsuki down in Quirkless fighting. She was raised in a mixed-race household, being 1/2 Japanese, 1/4 Chinese, and 1/4 Mexican, so she’s multilingual and and skilled in the art of cooking fusion dishes for her army of little siblings.

Yasushi is the only one of the crew not going to Hero school, instead attending a normal highschool. He works afterschool at the arcade the Katsucrew frequent and the konbini his parents own. He’s the first to start pranks wars in the crew and the most lax about following the rules, as he’s the most mischevious.

Hifue is studying in UA’s business course for the sole purpose of becoming Katsuki’s PR Agent when he becomes a full-fledged hero. Back at Aldera, she was Katsuki’s casual study-buddy, and the two still meet up on weekends with some of the crew to study at one of their various hangouts. Despite seeming quite aloof, Hifue is a kind girl, calling Katsuki out when he goes too far and helping the business owners in Musutafu by taking stock and organizing their finances for extra cash.

Hope you like these, Anon!! <33

♡ Intro to the Undercut-Verse ♡

Hello!! This is the info page for my Undercut-Verse, an AU created to support my personal HC that Bakugou had friends (and a boyfriend) at his junior high before getting to UA. It also gives me a valid reason to give Bakugou the love and support he needs and deserves.

Characters

Other than Bakugou, the main characters in this ‘verse are who I collectively call the Katsucrew or the Aldera Gang. There are seven of them, all of which I named and created character profiles for:

Agei Ashikari (安芸芦狩), also known as Undercut/Kariage-kun by Japanese fans, is Bakugou’s boyfriend. He’s attending a lesser known Hero school with three of the other main characters and has the Quirk: Smoke.

Agei Kanji (安芸完志) is Kariage’s little half-sister and Bakugou’s honorary baby sister. She eventually becomes best friends with Eri and has the Quirk: Temperature Manipulation.

Dehisa Yasushi (出久や舒沙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. He’s enrolled at a normal high school and has the Quirk: Finger Elongation.

Daikikou Seika (大輝煌青渦) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Cyan Spiral.

Kate Mito (火手美橙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Support at UA and has the Quirk: Fire Arm.

Obuki Hifue (小浮気一二栄) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Business at UA and has the Quirk: Small-Scale Telekinesis.

Shioawa Henshuu (塩泡編集) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Bubble.

Settings

Besides Aldera Junior High, UA High School, and the various households of the Katsucrew, there are other places that have a prominent presence in this AU. These locations are:

Moushou Academy (猛将学校), the lesser known Hero school that Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu attend, located just inside Musutafu.

Black Cat Café (黒猫喫茶店), the cat café where Seika is employed and the Katsucrew often visit to relax or study.

Dehisa Family Store (出久家族店), the family-owned konbini where Yasushi and his parents work.

Shinpi’s Noodle Shop (神秘饂飩屋), the hole-in-the-wall ramen shop where Kariage works and the crew meet up to celebrate or cheer up.

The Warehouse Roof (庫屋根), the roof of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Musutafu that serves as the Katsucrew’s official hangout spot.

Kosetsu Kindergarten (古拙幼稚園), the quaint kindergarten that Kanji attends, located right between UA and Moushou Academy.
