Hello And Welcome To The Official KariKatsu Week Post! This Event Was Put Together By So Many Lovely

sometimes a family is an unapologetic gremlin, a notorious bad boy, and the little angel that keeps them in check <33

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

💕 bunkugou 💕

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 concept 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 he’s having fun and like!! Fidning this little flower that reminds him of his Bestest Everest Friend and!! Him picking it specifically for Katsuki because it made him think of Katsuki?? Please, you’re making me far too soft how 🥺

sunflower head or dandelion head?

LMAOOO NOT @ ME POSTING THE ART SITTING IN MY GALLERY LIKE 🧍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 what’s happening in the manga. I SWEAR.

I AM NOT CHECKING MY TWITTER FOR THAT S O L E R E A S O N.

♡ 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.

asdfGHJKL??? I?? I CAN’T BELIEVE OMG??

Me, broke: oh yeah, Deku’s kinda neutral towards Kariage, and only a little bit jealous about the fact that despite knowing Katsuki for longer, he’ll never be as close to him as Kariage, who’s only known him a fraction of the time, is. However, because he has a good heart, he’s just happy that Katsuki has a good enough friend to be vulnerable with :)))

You, besoke: Oh No, Deku Is 100% Angry, Bitter, Jealous, And Hateful And Kariage Drinks His Tears Of Agony To Fuel His Possessive, Smug, Egotistical Self >:)))

I am a Fool for believing otherwise asdfghjk

Also???? future tattoo artist Kariage?? I am swooning.

Hc that deku hate undercut-kun with all his guts Because even though he is baku's childhood friend, undercut-kun is closer to baku than he is Undercut-kun knows about this so he will show a lot of affection to bakugou (if baku is okay with it) In front of deku while deku is glaring at him But bakugou doesn't know about any of this

Oh God, I love it so much, it has so many delicious elements - jealous/angry Deku, oblivious Bakugou and possessive/smug Kariage. Amazing.

During Middle School Kariage didn’t really notice anything amiss, him and Katsuki weren’t that keen on PDA or even revealing that they were in a relationship so to everyone else it just seemed like they were friends, not even close friends at that since they kept their distance while in public. Kariage often overheard people call them Katsuki’s followers and he couldn’t help but laugh at the title cause to him it was ridiculous. He couldn’t believe that people were so blinded by the front Katsuki put up that they really thought he couldn’t have any real friends. Ridiculous.

But then Katsuki and he go to separate High Schools - UA for Katsuki, of course, and an art school for Kariage - and the lack of PDA still doesn’t bother them. 

Until the Sport’s Festival.

Katsuki got a spare ticket and of course he invited his boyfriend and Kariage was more than happy to watch him fight, he knew his Katsuki would win anyways and he wanted to be there and give him a congratulatory kiss when he did.

After the fights started he decided to leave his seat and go find Katsuki; it’s not like he wasn’t used to sneaking around into places he didn’t belong. He just wanted to wish him luck - not in those words, of course, he’d get his damn face blown off if he ever insinuated Katsuki needed stupid shit like luck.

And soon he found the booth Katsuki was in and he was surrounded by the 1A Class. 

When he walked in he first saw Katsuki’s face, that adorable little frown was right in place and everyone seemed to be yelling over each other as they talked, seemingly making some stupid comments towards Katsuki. Kariage had no problem interrupting all that bullshit and calling out his name

And like magic, Katsuki’s frown disappeared and his features calmed down as everyone quieted down and watched as Katsuki turned his head while Kariage walked towards him.

“You’re not supposed to be here, dumbass.”

“Yeah, yeah, as if I care.”

And then he leaned in, placing his hand on Katsuki’s cheek and kissed him.

He was pretty sure someone fell of their seat but Kariage just sat down next to him and placed an arm around his shoulder.

With a glance to the side he noticed a pair of curious green eyes on them, those eyes got filled with something... strange, something a bit more angry, when Kariage squeezed Katsuki closer to his side.

Kariage smirked.

Interesting.

It seemed as if after that Kariage saw Midoriya everywhere, he was almost concerned with how frequently he and Katsuki ran into him but he thought nothing of it. He was too busy pulling Katsuki closer and kissing him and revelling in the look of fury crossing Midoriya’s features whenever they saw him, after all.

It was exhilirating. It honestly did wonders for his ego, the fact that this sweet kid was angry that his childhood friend, the most explosive and stubborn person known to man, was letting himself be soft with someone that he’d only known half the amount of years he’d known Midoriya.

Soon he started to make sure Katsuki had his marks on him too, his neck and chest were always covered in hickeys, insuring that everyone, especially Midoriya, will know he’s spoken for.

Once they moved into the dorms (and Kariage stopped panicking whenever he didn’t see Katsuki for more than a day) it was harder for them to see each other but luckily Katsuki managed to get permission to both leave the dorms and have Kariage come visit him.

And so Kariage got the absolute pleasure of talking Katsuki into joining a movie night - a thing he’d never joined before - with minimal grumbling and then they took up a corner of the couch where Katsuki practically sat in his lap during the whole thing before finally falling asleep on his chest, his hand gripping Kariage’s hoodie and his face lax and completely calm; beautiful as always.

He looked up at that moment, watching as Midoriya lifted his jealous gaze from Katsuki’s face to Kariage’s. And as their eyes met Kariage smirked, leaning in close and pressing a kiss to Katsuki’s forehead before he winked.

He had to bite his lip to hold in a burst of laughter at the expression on Midoriya’s face.

Fucking amazing.

♡ Villain Kariage AU Pt. 1 ♡

I made this AU awhile back and first posted it in bunny’s server, so I decided to transfer it here!! It’s kind of long, so I’m separating the whole AU into four posts!! If KariBaku is your comfort ship and you don’t like angst or the if warnings below squick or trigger you, I don’t recommend reading through this! I’ll be writing this eventually, but hopefully it’ll be posted to my AO3 by the end of the month <33

Warning(s): Kidnapping, Emotional Manipulation, Non-con Drugging, Disassociation, Heavily Implied Physical Abuse, Dub-con Kissing and Non-sexual Touching, and, of course, Villain Kariage!!

Part [1], Part [2], Part [3], Part [4]

KARIBAKUYASUUUUU!!!

Hi, yes, I freaking adore poly KariBakuYasu. They’re just so cute together!! Just, boys being boys, all cute and I love them so much. Kariage and Yasushi making a pact to not try and take Katsuki from the other?? The two bonding so much over that and spending more together that they start developing feeling for each other?? Them kissing and immediately being so fucking awkward about it?? I love it, it’s beautiful and perfect.

Katsuki knowing that some shit’s clearly up, so he sits the boys down so they could talk?? The casual affection and cuddling?? Kari and Yasu being all shy as they admit to kissing and liking Katsuki?? Them being so shocked that Katsuki likes them back because they’re just dumb boys?? I’d wholeheartedly die for them. Like, they’re just so freaking oblivious??

And, lastly, just?? Katsuki being all shy because he’s unsure if he read the room right, them going back to playing video games after finalizing their relationship status because it’s just so normal, them being happy boys?? I wouldn’t change a thing. This was so wonderful and I had the biggest smile on my face as I read this, it was just that freaking cute.

Also, yaOI HANDS!!?!?!?!?!!!? 🤣🤣🤣

📂

i’m in a kariage/katsuki/yasushi mood so 👁👁👁👁

after the sludge villain incident, they both realize their feelings for katsuki, because he could’ve died. they could’ve lost him.

yasu goes to kariage and tells him that he thinks he likes katsuki. kariage also tells him he likes katsuki. they make a “truce” that they won’t try and “steal” him away from the other.

they start to hang out more, just the two of them, and soon develop feelings for each other too.

one night, they’re goofing around together at kariage’s house, both tipsy. kariage just looked at yasu who laughing his ass off at something. and in that moment kariage found him so pretty. he leaned over and kissed him. yasushi kissed him back.

when they both realized what they just did, they jumped away from each other.

“what the hell was that for?” yasu yelled.

“i don’t know! i looked at you and suddenly we were kissing!” kari hissed at him.

“what about katsuki, huh? we both like him.” yasu asked him.

“apparently we both like each other too!” kariage’s bluntness shut the both of them up immediately, both turning their heads away from each other, face burning.

“....what are we gonna do?” yasu asked after a few moments of awkward silence.

kariage sighed. “i have no idea.”

after that night, things got awkward between them. katsuki could tell something was up, and frankly was sick of the tenseness between them. so he decided to intervene.

“what the fuck is up with you two?” katsuki bluntly asked them, one day while they were all hanging out at katsuki’s house. “did something happen? you two are barely speaking to each other.”

kariage and yasushi’s eyes both widened and the looked at each other before quickly looking away again. “i have no idea what you’re talking about.” yasu said, staring at the game controller in his hand.

“bullshit.” katsuki says. he stands up and takes the controller out of his friends hands. “you two are talking this shit out right now or i swear to god-“

he plops down right onto kariage’s lap and grabs yasushi, dragging his head onto his own lap. “now talk. i’m staying here until you solve your bullshit.”

his two friends faces were as red as can be, yasu trying to bury his face into katsuki’s thighs while kariage did the same with his back.

katsuki let out a sigh, and brought his hand up to run it through yasushi’s hair. “.... we kissed.” kariage’s muffled voice came from behind.

katsuki froze. “was it consensual?” yasu and kari both nodded. “then why is it such a big deal? you two like each other right?” he felt another nod come from the two of them. “then just go out!”

“it’s not that easy.” yasu mumbled. katsuki looked down at his friend, who’s face was still hidden. “why? why is not that easy?”

“....because we like you too.”

everyone stopped. suddenly a burst of laughter came from the blonde. “that’s it? that’s what got you two all freaked out? jesus! you act like two middle school girls!” he said between laughs and giggles. “i like you too dumbasses.” he smiled at his two friends.

yasushi and kariage whipped their heads up to look at the blonde. “seriously?”

“i don’t say shit i don’t mean! of course i like you idiots! you think i’d do this shit with just anyone?” katsuki raised his eyebrows at them, gesturing to the obvious cuddling going on.

kariage and yasushi’s faces became bright red, while simultaneously looking a little constipated. katsuki started laughing at them again. “you two are so stupid oh my god!” he turned and kissed kariage’s cheek, then leaning down kissing yasushi’s cheek too before getting up off of them.

kariage made a strangled noise in the back of his throat while yasushi fell back onto the floor, looking like his brain was reloading.

“up and at ‘em idiots! i’m gonna beat your asses in some mario kart right now.” he tossed the controllers back over to where they sat.

wait, he’s gonna move on? just like that?, kariage thought to himself. “wait! what about us? are we all dating each other now?” kariage called, looking up at the bed where katsuki sat.

“obviously.” he snorted. “...unless, you’re uncomfortable with that and i read the situation wrong.” his cheeks pinkened and he looked down at the bed, playing with his fingers.

“no!” yasushi yelled. immediately getting embarrassed, he tried to cover up his eagerness with a cough. “i mean... no. you didnt read the situation wrong. i’m okay with us all dating.” he looked at kariage, who just hummed in agreement.

katsuki bit the insides of his cheeks to conceal his smile and looked back up at them. “good. now get your asses up here! i’m gonna demolish you.” he swung his own game controller in front of them.

kariage snorted. “not if i beat you first!” he jumped up onto the bed, lightly elbowing his boyfriend. holy shit. they’re boyfriends. he has two boyfriends.

“id like to see you try!” katsuki elbowed him back.

“10 dollars that kat wins.” yasushi calls, slowly making his way on the bed.

kariage gave an overdramatic gasp, looking completely offended. “excuse you! i’m great at mario kart!”

“kari, babe, i love you, but you’re absolutely atrocious at mario kart.” yasu pats his boyfriends head.

katsuki snorts. “yaoi hands is right! you suck!”

yasushi squawked at hearing that new nickname. “YAOI HANDS?!?!?!?”

kariage burst into laughter. “YAOI HANDS- THATS THE BEST ONE IVE HEARD SO FAR! KATSU YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS!” he leaned over and kissed his temple.

katsuki turned red and giggled, while yasu sulked. “we’ve been dating for 5 minutes and you two are already ganging up on me.” he turned his back on his boyfriends, fake pouting.

katsuki grabbed the back of yasushi’s shirt, pulling him backwards, causing him to land right back into katsuki’s lap. “aww boo hoo.” he jokingly mocked, leaning down and kissing his forehead.

and that’s how the night went on. the three of them having fun, being teenagers, and finally together. katsuki is so happy. they’re all so, so happy. and they wouldn’t change a thing in the world

kariage my beloved <3
