Ooooo Can We Have Some More Headcannons About The Katsucrew !!! (Also I’ve Been So Into Undercut-kun

breathes heavily 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 don’t know how to describe it,,, but you can practically see how Katsuki is just the center of his universe in those two moments?? And how Katsuki’s trying his best to make it seem like he personally doesn’t care if Kari’s there or not, but he’s still letting him close?? 😭 I love them so freaking muchhh.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m trying to convey!! Also, this is maybe kinda off topic, but I really like how you draw their hair?? Katsuki’s is so perfectly spikey and Kari’s messy hair is just too adorable <33

刈り勝

uh hi! i really like your fic idea and the katsucrew and undercut-kun, and i was going thru ur tags to see more stuff and i saw how you tagged like japanese words into the tags? what do those mean, are they like the ship name?

Thank you for the support, Anon!! And, yes, they are the ship names for Kariage and Katsuki!

‘카리캇‘ is the Korean ship name and it phonetically sounds out Ka - Ri - Kat. This is, of course, the combination of Kariage, the name the Japanese fandom gave Undercut-kun, and Katsuki.

Now, before we go on to the Japanese ship names, I’m gonna explain Kariage’s name. Technically, Kariage isn’t actually a last or first name, it’s a descriptor. Because of his undercut, Japanese fans dubbed him 刈り上げ, or Kariage, which is a noun that means close-cropped hair or harvesting.

刈り爆, or KariBaku, is the combination of the first kanji and hiragana of Kariage and the first kanji for Katsuki’s surname. 刈り勝, or KariKatsu, is exactly the same, however, it uses the first kanji for Katsuki’s given name, instead.

Hope this helped!! <33

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

asdfGHJKL OMG GAB!! GAB!! I read this earlier in the discord and rushed to come and reblog it because this?? THIS is the quality content we need in this ship. Like?? All of 1A thinking that Katsuki is just the cutest, sweetest, goodest boy who follows the rules?? Him practically being a little housewife to the girls and boys of 1A??

The fact that they’re so asdfghjkl so fucking shocked at how Katsuki knows how to smoke, and do shotgun rings at that?? They’re so jealous at the fact that Katsuki has smoked with someone who isn’t them, and I love this so much. This is amazing lkjhgfdsa i just?? I just love how their expectations are subverted and how Katsuki is a secret smoker becuase of Kariage. This is literal perfection!!!!!

BAKUGOU HEADCANON 29

TW // teenage drug use and drinking; slight innuendos 

[ for @hitheryon @pichu-perfect and @wonhaebunny ] 

During third year, almost everyone in Class 3-A has smoked, done weed, gotten drunk, and experienced the fucked up life that is being a newly legal teenager, except for Bakugou.

Bakugou never went with them to their parties lasting until 4am, never participated when they passed around the pot, hell most of the time he wasn’t even there. For all his bad boy bluster and persona, he has the cleanest record among all of them. (Deku has tried once or twice but he knows Bakugou will kill him if he gets drunk too much by using Auntie Inko).

Now during their final year, they’ve all come to realize that Bakugou is a fucking “tsundere.” He’s mellowed out, cooked for them if they asked (begged and bribed) like a perfect housewife, took care of them during a particularly bad hangover, saw his tiny fucking waist,  and yeah he’s cute. The boys of Class 3-A (because Bakugou is a disaster gay) flirt with him every chance they get.

They make it a point to indulge in their bad habits in front of Bakugou (ex. smoking) and offer him to join, just so Bakugou will refuse and they call him a “good boy” for keeping his slate pure. “Kitten” and “Honey” are thrown around when they’ve come back drunk from another party and Bakugou let’s it slide because they’re tipsy. (They do it on purpose, mostly done by Todoroki, to see Bakugou’s endearing blush and sputtering that he tries to hide).

The boys asks incriminating questions in front of other people (to stake their claim) like asking if Bakugou wants to shotgun smoke or do weed after training. He always answers with “What the fuck is that?” and the class comes up with answers filled with innuendos Bakugou never understands (”I can teach you later, love.”) but everyone else does.

One time during those rare parties that Bakugou joins in on (dragged by Kirishima), the boys offer him a cigarette, as per their routine. But this time, Bakugou actually takes it. Their resident best smoker, Todoroki because it comes with his quirk, tries to explain how to properly do it so he won’t choke but Bakugou quickly brushes him off. He lights the end of the cigarette using sparks from his hand with practiced ease and inhales deeply as he closes his eyes. 

Everyone’s freaking out inside because “How does he know how to do this?” yet their still reeling how fucking hot it looks. Then, Bakugou puffs out a perfect series of smoke rings that takes experience to create with a shit eating grin. What’s worse is that those rings are generally made for a smoke shotgunning partner to inhale, meaning Bakugou has shotgunned before. 

After they get off their initial shock, they harbor jealously inside under their thoughts on how good Bakugou looks because “Who the fuck taught him how to do that? Who did he smoke with?” Well, Bakugou can’t say they’re wrong, he learned it all from Kariage.

[ original idea, i WILL write this ]

HITHER I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A TUMBLR SHBJKAHBSKI <3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

askdsdkaj YES!

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

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

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

QUIRK

Seika’s Quirk is called Cyan Spiral. It’s an Emitter-type Quirk that lets her create fast-moving, flexible spirals of blue-tinted condensed air starting from her shoulders going outward. However, as her Quirk affects the pressure, movement, and quality of the air around her, she has trouble breathing while using it.

PERSONALITY

Seika is a very sweet and academically smart girl. While social situations tend to fluster and confuse her, she's able to discern emotions of the people closest to her very well, often being one of the first to notice if one of the Katsucrew is feeling off. She's also a loving girl, going out of her way to cheer people up and also being one to appreciate the little things in life.

However, Seika is also fiercely protective of the Katsucrew and her little sister, wanting nothing bad to happen to them. She learned martial arts in middle school and how to incorperate her knowledge of plant life into medicinal studies for the sole purpose of protecting and helping others. This is also indicative of how determined she is, as Seika does all she can to further her Rescue Hero studies, so she can be one of the best.

RELATIONSHIPS

Partner(s)

Kate Mito is Seika’s girlfriend. The two are childhood friends and have been together since the second-to-last year of elementary school. They love the other very much and spend as much time together as possible, often spending hours testing out support gear and baking together.

Shioawa Henshuu is Seika’s queerplatonic partner. They met in the first year of junior high and became very close friends. The two now attend the same Hero school, training for hours afterschool to help each other better their techniques and studying together.

Family

Daikikou Itsuyo (大輝煌厳与) is Seika’s mother. She’s a rather strict woman, often criticizing Seika’s grades, relationships, and aspirations. However, she does love her daughter, just not in a traditional way that’s shown outright.

Daikikou Bennosuke (大輝煌勉之助) is Seika’s father. He’s a hardworking man that isn’t often home as a result of being employed at a top Hero Agency in Hokkaido. However, he loves his children greatly, calling Seika and her siblings at least twice a week and setting aside time to visit once a month.

Daikikou Tomo (大輝煌登喪) is Seika’s older brother. She doesn’t know much of him, since he’s worked overseas as a Hero in America since she was young, but she admires him greatly from the stories her parents tell of him.

Daikikou Iru (大輝煌威瑠) is Seika’s little sister. She’s a demanding yet loveable kid that loves to bake and garden with Seika, have playdates with Kanji, and read the fantasy, botanical, and baking books Seika keeps stacked around her room.

Friends

Bakugou Katsuki is one of Seika’s best friends. They knew each other since they were kids, having lived in the same area, but didn’t become friends until the last year of elementary school. They share an intense love for Heroics, and both enjoy hiking, making food together, and training on the weekends.

Agei Ashikari, or Kariage, is one of Seika’s best friends. It took some time for the two to really become close on account of their wildly different personalities, but once they clicked, nothing could keep them from being friends. The two share a love for the least appreciated parts of Heroics, often pairing up together in school along with Henshuu.

Dehisa Yasushi is one of Seika’s friends. While they don’t have all that much in common, they enjoy each other’s unique brand of humor. They have tutoring sessions with the rest of the Katsucrew at least once every week, and Seika often visits the Yasushi family konbini since they, in her words, make the best melonpan.

Obuki Hifue is one of Seika’s friends. As the two of them are the least troublesome of the Katsucrew, they’ve become adept at getting their friends out of trouble and having fun along the way. They bond over their shared social introversion and their love for reading.

Minor Characters

Shou Kazahiko (翔風彦), also known as Buster Hero: Air Jet, the 68th Ranked Pro Hero, is Seika’s Japanese History teacher at Moushou Academy. He’s a rather casual teacher who helps his students as much as he can, making him Seika’s favorite teacher.

Nekoshima Myouou (猫島妙嫗) is Seika’s boss at the cat café she works at. As an older woman, she cares for Seika and the Katsucrew like they’re family, and often offers advice to the struggling teens when they need it. Seika also appreciates the motherly vibe she emanates, as her relationship with her own mother is rather strained.

Ukichirou Takanohashi (鷹嘴烏吉朗) is Seika’s cousin. He attended Aldera Junior High in the same class with Seika. The two share curly hair and rounded eyes but not much else, and neither really wish to have a closer familal relationship to the disappointment of Seika’s mother.

Shinsou Hitoshi is one of Seika’s acquaintances. While they don’t know much about each other, they met when Shinsou wandered into the Black Cat Café on Seika’s shift. The two bonded rather quickly, often teasing each other over their opposing pet preferences and having hours-long conversations over coffee and pastries about Heroics.

tch.

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.
