thought about once-again quirkless deku on my drive home and BURST INTO TEARS

[vicedreams]

5 / 27 / 2024

I've never had a dream with Deku, much less one where I am him. So this one was quite the trip.

I (Deku) was going to fight AFO, it was very Star Wars-esque but more like two challengers in a bubble-shaped stadium. AFO's face wasn't a smushed potato connected to breathing tubes at any point during this, but I only ever saw half his face (like in the flashbacks in the anime/manga). And during the fight, my hair would change from green to white a few times. It was as if a part of me was 'awakening', all the while my anger rised as I tried to hit AFO but was unsuccessful in all my attempts. As the fight went on, he was blabbing on about 'oh my dear son has grown up so well' and I was denying his words the entire time. But then the moment came, he said that I was his son and when I saw myself in the 3rd person my hair was fully white permanently.

After this, I crash into the floor and feel like I can't actually breathe (keep in mind IRL I do have sleep apnea so that's probably when it kicked and my dream went with it). I end up feeling so much despair from this revelation, I just walk out on AFO as he tries to basically say 'hey just join me we can be so powerful together my son'. I then find out I'm in some sort of school, and I go into this one class that's watching 'Dead Like Me' so I join them. As I tell everyone what just happened, I find myself now in a fuzzy frog onesie and some maid/nurse lady was trying to check up on me as I was trying to fall asleep at the desk but I couldn't. I soon woke up after this, with Deku trying to fall asleep but dealing with this state of 'I am too tired that my adrenaline has kicked in and I cannot actually sleep'.

[ ᴍʏ ʜᴇʀᴏ ᴀᴄᴀᴅᴇᴍɪᴀ ] ᴄᴏᴏʟ ɢɪʀʟ

summary; some bnha characters dating a cool black-cat girl (bc i'm listening to the Ghost album by diljit dosanjh rn and thats the vibes it gives off) included characters --- izuku midoriya, katsuki bakugou, denki kaminari tw; none, it's literally just fluff note; if you want these headcanons with diff mha characters i'd write them! also i'm not a black-cat person at all so sorry if its not super accurate. word count; 909 words

IZUKU MIDORIYA;

He's so surprised first of all, like this poor baby is so in love with you but the fact that you love him back?! He's absolutely over the moon.

You might be surprised when I say this but not a lot of people are surprised at the fact that the two of you are dating—because of course the adorable dork who can never shut up pulled the chill, calm popular girl.

You're the first person to decode his mumble language, and just nod along like it's completely normal

speaking of his rambles, you just happily listen and let him rant until he realizes he's ranting and then he stops and looks at you so calmly smiling and listening and he almost passes out because he's overwhelmed by feels.

"I think that Kamui Woods would probably be the best match for her, you know considering the fact that he could use laquered prison to—" Izuku cut himself off when he realized he'd been ranting on about what hero vs hero matches would be cool to see and who would win.

You're sitting in front of him, the ends of your lips quirked up slightly as you swirl your favourite drink and look at him. "Something wrong, sweetie?" You ask, tilting your head slightly to the right as you rest it in your palm.

"I–I'm sorry," He quickly apologized, freckled cheeks tinting red as he felt your gaze stay on him, "I–I've been ranting, and–and you must be bored... I'm sorry."

"I didn't say that," You reply calmly, "I like listening to your rants—they're cute, and not to mention informative."

His already big green eyes widen even more. "R–really? I mean are you sure?"

You let out a soft chuckle and nod. "Mhm, now, will you tell me about how Kamui Woods would beat Mt. Lady?" You ask, giving him another soft smile.

Izuku visibly brightens as he happily continues his rant.

KATSUKI BAKUGOU;

How? Just how?

That's the first thing people think, because why would someone as cool and calm as you date someone as hotheaded as him?

Everyone around you is so confused (Denki literally brain-fries himself trying to understand.)

But then they see the way you stare down Bakugou without even flinching and manage to calm him down and all of a sudden it just clicks.

It's not really a rare occurrence—Katsuki's shouting his head off about some algebra equation Denki doesn't understand.

"What is so hard to understand, you damn dunderhead?!" The explosive blond shouts, practically jumping over the table towards Denki.

You're sitting in the library with the rest of the BakuSquad and have already been warned twice to keep it down.

"Katsuki, calm down," You say, looking up from your own homework.

He turns to you with an annoyed expression. "I'll calm down when this idiot stops being so damn stupid."

You match the glare he's giving you. "We're going to get kicked out," You reply, placing a hand on his arm to pull him back, "I'm sure Denki will understand whatever you're trying to explain to him if you just chill out."

Bakugou glares at you for a whole minute before huffing and falling down in his seat.

Everyone at the table stares at the two of you in disbelief. Katsuki just glares at them, as if he's daring them to say anything about what just transpired.

"So, Denki," You continue, turning towards your blond friend as if nothing out of the ordinary happened, "What is it you didn't understand?"

KAMINARI DENKI;

He's your polar opposite, and that's what makes it work

Kaminari is known for his cheesy pick-up lines and dumb flirting tactics, so when he tries one on you he does not expect it to work at all

but then it does??!!? (his brain malfunctions ngl)

Oh boy, he's drowning you with cheesy cards, pick-up lines, etc just to hear that cute little giggle again (he prides himself on the fact that he's the only one that can get you to giggle)

The bell signalling the second break rang ten minutes ago, but you're still sitting at your desk.

"Hey, Y/N," Denki's voice sounds even louder than usual in the empty classroom, "Watcha doin'?"

You don't reply, simply pulling up your geography textbook to show him the cover.

"Oh, we're covering the greenhouse effect right?" He questions, pulling up a chair to sit in front of you.

He leans his head on his palm, blonde hair falling in his eyes as he stares at you full of admiration.

"You know it's all your fault right?" He says, with a small smirk on his face.

You know your boyfriend well enough to know he's up to some stupid shit, but you decide to bite anyway. "What's all my fault, babe?"

"Global warming, it's your fault," He smiles like he didn't just accuse you of something like warming up the entire earth, "Because you're so hot."

You blink twice and then shake your head in disbelief. "You can do better than that," You reply simply, turning back to your notes.

Denki sees this as encouragement. "Oh yeah?" He asks in his most flirty voice, placing a hand under your chin, "Well, I must be a snowflake, because I've fallen for you."

Now, granted, this pickup line is even worse than the first one but it's just stupid enough to elicit a giggle out of you.

"You're an idiot."

"Yeah, but I'm your idiot."

Pairing: Dad!Bakugou x F!Reader

Themes: Bakugou is not the perfect dad but is trying his best, based off of a TikTok Sound

Summary: You get a call from your nearly 16-year-old daughter at 2 a.m. asking for $2500.

Word Count: 1K

Tag List: @optimisticprime3 @dreamcastgirl99 (Sorry if I've forgotten or gotten someone's tag wrong)

A/N: I should've been working on an assignment instead of this....

“Hey mama, do you have $2500 you can send me?” You heard your 15-year-old daughter’s voice through the phone.

You leaned up in your and Katsuki’s bed, looking at the time. “Katsumi, it’s 2 am. What do you possibly need $2500 for?” Your head hot the pillow before you suddenly sat u straight. “Katsumi, where are you?”

“Um-” You heard your daughter’s voice go weak though you could still hear her smile over the phone. “An escape room?”

“The truth, Katsumi.” You warned, sitting up in your bed.

“... Prison?”

You sat up straight, your eyes open wide. “PRISON?!”

Your husband Katsuki sturred awake, mumbling some curses.

“You can’t tell daddy!” Katsumi’s voice strained. “My friends and I were just goofing around-”

“Can’t tell me what?” You heard Katsuki's grumbly voice say before you turned your head, seeing your very tired 42-year-old husband. He grabbed your phone as he sat up, pulling it to his ear. “What did you do and where are you?”

You heard your daughter's voice become quieter and you could imagine her doing the thing she’s done since she was 3 and got in trouble with your husband. Lower lip pouting, looking down with hands behind her back and kicking rockings with her feet.

“... My friends and I snuck out and we went to a party and the cops were called and apparently there were drugs-”

“Drugs?!” Katsuki’s voice boomed. “You’re doing drugs?!”

“Nononono!” Katsumi panickingly rushed out. “There happened to be drugs there! That’s why we got arrested-”

“ARRESTED?!” Katsuki was going to pop a blood vessel with how angry he was.

You heard your youngest daughter Fuku crying now from her room. You gave your husband a look, but all you saw was anger behind his eyes. He took a deep as he clutched onto your phone tightly. 

“Where are you being held?” He asked through gritted teeth as he signalled to you to check on your 7-year-old daughter.

You groaned as you got out of bed to go check on your youngest.

Katsuki waited until you left the room before glaring at the phone as if Katsumi could see his glare. “You’ll be grounded for 2 months, your birthday party is cancelled and you’ll write your mother an apology letter.”

“What?! But that's so unfair!-”

“Do you want me to come pick you up or do you just want to walk straight home?” You snapped at his daughter.

“... Fine…”

The drive from the police station was long and awkward. Katsumi wondered if her father was driving the long way home just so the guilt would eat her alive. She looked up at Katsuki with her eyes, the same eyes that you had.

He was silently fuming.

She looked out of the sports car passenger window, looking at her reflection in the side mirror. Her eyeliner was smudged and her father’s wheat-blonde hair looked messy with your hair texture on her head.

“Where’s mama?” She asked.

“At home. Someone had to watch your sisters.” He answered coldly. 

When he noticed he was getting close to the street they lived on, he parked on the side of the road close to the park he used to take Katsumi to.

She stared at the park, remembering when she first got her quirk at the said park when she was 4. How you held her so closely with a smile and spun her around while Katsuki just watched, realising Katsumi had his same quirk.

“Why did you go?” He asked her, trying to keep a level head.

“I just wanted to do something fun with my friends.”

“You’re 16 in 4 days!” He pointed out to her. “You shouldn’t have snuck out! What if something worse happened than just drugs happening?”

“Why would you care-”

“Because you are my daughter, Katsumi!” Katsuki tried to hold back a tempered response. You told him to be gentle. He was never really good at it. He tapped his finger on the steering wheel. “Is this about that boy at school?”

The lack of a response from Katsumi confirmed it Katsuki. He took a breath in trying to not get angry.

“I know you don’t like him-”

“Understatement of the year, Sumi.” Katsuki butted in.

“-but I really like him!” Katsumi had small tears in her eyes and her fists clenched.

Katsuki was silent, tapping his finger on the wheel. 

“... Don’t change yourself for some boy, Katsumi.” Katsuki said to her. “If you’re going to date, don’t make it a life lesson for yourself.”

Katsumi turned her head away from her father, crossing her arms. “Whatever.”

Katsumi barged through the front door, avoiding making eye contact with you as she made her way to her bedroom, passing her sisters’ rooms along the way. She slammed the door shut and locked the door, leaving you and Katsuki alone with high tension lingering in the house.

“What did you say to her?” You asked him with a raised brow.

“I told her not to change for that stupid boyfriend.” You angrily answered as he made his way back to your two’s bedroom.

Once you closed the door did he take off his shoes and shirt before getting back into bed. You sat beside him and gently rubbed his old man's back.

“Was he at that party?” You asked Katsuki gently.

“I don’t fucking know-! Probably!” He groaned, burrowing his face into a pillow.

“... Maybe we need to have the talk with her-” You stopped yourself when you saw the nasty look Katsuki was giving you. “Don’t act like that, Katsu. I started having sex when I was around her age.”

“With who?” He glared, his possessiveness over you still strong as ever, even after 18 years of marriage.

You just rubbed his back. “Not important. You have to accept that she’s going to start dating, there isn’t much you can do about that.”

Katsuki sighed, getting comfortable in bed. “Let’s just go to sleep. It’s 3am.”

You leaned down and kissed Katsuki’s forehead. “I love you.”

“I love you more.”

Day 18: Clothes

Bakugou x Deku | Nim's Lovely Tickletober 

Word Count: 900

Warning: BNHA manga finale spoilers

......

Bakugou stared at his reflection, totally unimpressed. "Uhuh," he murmured to himself. He wasn't even sure what he was wearing. For the upcoming Halloween party he managed to borrow something from Kirishima so he would at least match the theme, but now that he was wearing it. he actually doubted what it was supposed to look like.

It was like a combination of different oufits. Some sort of strange monster, alien, zombie kind of being, with something even weirder on his head. What in the world?

"Kacchan, hi! I'm home~"

Bakugou turned to see Deku coming home, and he chuckled.

"Welcome home sensei," Bakugou greeted jokingly. The new pet name was definitely sticking. Deku came up to him and gave him a kiss.

"What are you wearing?" he asked, checking him out. Bakugou frowned. It was more than obvious that he was putting on clothes for a Halloween costume party, like, what else could this crazy costume be for? But still, Bakugou wasn't Bakugou if he didn't respond with some jokes and sarcasm.

"What does it look like? My new hero outfit of course. I'm trying out my new style."

Deku put his bag down and circled him in excitement.

"Really?! Wow, that's awesome! So this is a sneak peek of the new Dynamight? I'm so lucky to see it!"

..... Bakugou stared at him. No way. He couldn't be serious. "Of course. You're my boyfriend. Obviously you'll see it first. What do you think? Does it look cool?" Bakugou said.

He really couldn't drop the sarcastic tone, but it didn't matter. Deku replied: "It looks totally cool!"

What...? Even after knowing Deku for years, developing from rivals to friends to partners and lovers, Bakugou could still sometimes get completely surprised by him. Deku didn't actually believe him, did he? Was he being sarcastic too? Maybe working as a teacher had changed him? Being surrounded by young students all the time did the thing?

"It comes with a new special attack I've been coming up with. Would you like me to show it to you?" Bakugou said slowly. Deku nodded. His excitement did seem genuine.

"Sure! Just don't burn our house down!"

"...I promise I won't."

Still amazed that Deku believed this ridiculous costume would be his new hero outfit, Bakugou stood in position. He spread his legs and formed claws with his hands.

"For me to properly show you, you have to stand there. Against the wall. With your hands above your head."

Deku actually did as he was told. "Sure. Like this?" At this point, Bakugou was starting to worry. How much more would that silly guy believe? Did he love Bakugou this much, to trust him blindly and foolishly?

"Yes," Bakugou confirmed. Deku looked adorable, standing there.

"Then, this new Dynamight will announce a brand new attack, named... UNITED TICKLES OF DEATH!" Bakugou exclaimed and sprinted towards Deku who yelled in surprise, covering himself up with his arms.

"WAH-Kacchan?!" With his arms covering his face in surprise, Bakugou could tickle his exposed sides and ribs perfectly well, causing Deku to stumble and fall forward immediately. Bakugou was there to catch him, and tickle him of course. To a loving death.

"KAhahaahcchan! Wahahah, no! Ehehee!" Deku giggled, squeaked and struggled adorably in Bakugou's arms. Lowering him gently to the floor, Bakugou tickled him mercilessly with both hands.

"How do you like the new Dynamight now, huh?" he teased. Deku let out the cutest giggles and kicked his legs.

"Kacchahahan nohoho!"

Tickle fights with Deku had... kind of become unfair, after the loss of One For All. But that didn't make them less fun. Something they luckily both agreed with.

Deku just loved to get tickled, and his physical trainings hadn't been all for nothing. He still made a fair challenge, sometimes. But whenever Bakugou could catch him off-guard, just like now, well yes. He'd just wreck the lovely guy to pieces and there was nothing Deku could do to stop it besides begging for mercy.

"Still holding up?" he asked a hysterical Deku.

"Yeheheehes!"

Even in this moment, Deku would not just surrender easily. So Bakugou continued the random tickle attack until they both were practically out of breath from the wild exercise.

Bakugou then collapsed right next to Deku and they both sighed. "Don't tell me you really believed this is my new hero costume?" Bakugou asked.

Deku giggled. "Of course not. But then again, you're Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised."

Ah, so Deku just played him too. Bakugou grinned.

"I just didn't expect you to tickle me. It was a nice surprise," Deku said. Bakugou chuckled.

"Oh really?" He poked his stomach and made him giggle again. "Then why stand there against the wall like a cute little fool when I asked you to?"

Deku turned his head and smiled sweetly. "I don't want to say it," he said with a cute blush.

"You sure?" Bakugou wiggled his fingers at him, and Deku immediately laughed again.

"Ohoh alright! I thought, no, maybe hoped... that you'd put on clothes for me too? Like, I raise my hands and you put a matching outfit over my head, as a surprise? Silly right?"

Bakugou stared at him. He then laughed. Deku was the cutest fucking shit ever.

"Come here you. I thought you already decided on your outfit for the party. But yes, if you want to find matching clothes, we can do that."

"I like what you're wearing now though."

"It's silly, we can find something else."

Before anymore of the discussion about their party costumes could proceed, they were hugging, and kissing. And Bakugou's silly Halloween clothes? Bakugou sensed they would not stay on for much longer...

[zykamiliah]

hey! i haven't seen mha in a looong time and i've never payed attention to bakudeku (mostly because i'm not the biggest fan of bully romance), but i'd love to see your take/interpretation/analysis on it? i've been a really big fan of your svsss metas and so i just thought, "hey, you know what, i'm curious to see zykamiliah's take on a ship i've never been interested in from an anime that i haven't seen in years! maybe i'll see something?"

not too sure if you already made a post explaining it (so sorry if you did!), but i've seen enough of the sudden rise of bakudeku reblogs on my feed from your account to ignite my curiosity lol

i just really enjoy hearing about ships because they're an amazing opportunity to explore dynamics and perspectives i've never given much thought/thought about before (coming from a rare pair lover... oh gyx/lbg, my sweet...) so i'd love to see bakudeku, a ship i don't quite understand (yet!) in a more understanding, different, and interesting light! and in complete honesty i trust your judgement with insightful character and ship analysis stuff, so... yeah!

heeey jade! sorry for the wait, i've been busy with work and irl stuff :DDD but i'm here now!

where to even begin lol... well, it's important to note that the relationship between midoriya izuku, the protagonist, and bakugo katsuki, the deuteragonist, is one of the main narrative lines of the manga, at the very core of the story. katsuki is izuku's narrative foil, their character developments are intrinsically connected (specially katsuki's!), and the same can be said about the themes of heroism, of what makes a hero, who can be a hero, what type of hero society needs, or if it needs them at all, etc., questions that also tie to the evolution of their relationship.

so from the start i was sold on this dynamic because i really like relationships that are at the center of a story!! i also like relationships with a complicated history with lots of drama and ups and downs, and i like that each character has their own things going on in their lives even if they are connected and one of the most important persons in each other's lives. big big bonus guaranteed to get my full attention if they are obsessed with each other lol

the thing is, deku and bakugo are in a bad place when the story kicks in. bakugo isn't an active bully, in the sense that he doesn't constantly seek deku out to hurt him, but he IS horribly mean and hostile, and that's because for years he's felt threatened by deku (and deku's heroic qualities), and wants to push him away, because he also feels that deku is looking down on him. the story doesn't shy away from showing and acknowledging that bakugo's behavior is atrocious and needs to change, and it works towards it consistently: he eventually atones, apologizes, and changes. on the other side of the coin, deku has always been paying attention to bakugo and, despite how the latter treated him, would chase him, observe him to the point he has bakugo's moves memorized, takes inspiration from his fighting style and even imitates him to give himself courage to do something specially daring and when he wants to "win" more than "save"; bakugo is his image of victory, ever since they were kids.

i scrolled through my bkdk meta tag, since it's been yeeeeears since i was involved in the fandom, lol, and found this post that tackles the bullying issue specifically and makes some very good points, if you wanted to read it! :D

the manga eventually addresses the problems in their relationship in "Deku vs Kacchan 2" (chapters 117-119), at the time bakugo is feeling turmoils for the part he played in All Might's end. to the question of "why does deku chase and care about bakugo if bakugo is so mean to him?" ch 119 has deku answer that himself:

this fight is the turning point for their relationship, and for the rest of the manga their individual and dual development is mostly upwards. reading bnha is worth it, if anything, just for the beauty of bakugo katsuki's development.

another big aspect that got me hooked in their relationship from the very first anime episode (and first opening) is that they are

✨Childhood Friends✨

(strap in this is gonna get loooooooooong)

Childhood friends (Osananajimi) is kind of a huge trope in manga/anime, often as a romantic interest. According to some sources i quickly consulted in the internet, and some of the manga/anime I've watched, in Japanese culture osananajimi is considered one of the purest bond formed between people, with a level of closeness equal to that between blood relatives; formed at such an early age, at a time when societal restrictions didn't apply yet, the relationship is genuine because they still didn’t need or know how to hide their true feelings from each other. As the childhood friends grew up together, this is considered a special connection, somewhat different to those formed after societal norms and perceptions take precedence. Or, as makeste put it:

here we have two very young children who are introduced to each other at an age when they’re still young enough to have absolutely no secrets. they’re young enough to have not yet learned to be shy or self-conscious, or to downplay their enthusiasm so as not to let others know they care. kids that young don’t hide anything. they don’t lie or deceive. they don’t have agendas, and they assume that others don’t either. it is, in short, a very pure type of relationship in the sense that it’s honest and uncomplicated, that it is exactly what it appears to be at face value. their personalities are fully out there with no attempt at reining anything in. Katsuki witnesses the full force of Izuku’s boundless hero-worshipping energy and enthusiasm. Izuku witnesses the full extent of Katsuki’s relentless confidence and Peter Pan cockiness. both boys see each other for who they are in their entirety, and accept each other. this is a fundamental bond. there is trust built between the two of them at a critical, formative age. it’s a relationship formed so early on that it’s likely that neither of them can actually recall a time before they met the other. they are and have always been a constant in each other’s lives. they’re a lot like siblings in terms of that kind of closeness and complete understanding of the other, both the good and the bad. in fact I’d say that Izuku’s use of “Kacchan” (and Katsuki’s automatic acceptance of it) isn’t that different from a younger brother’s use of “Niisan” for his older brother. it’s very revealing of the type of relationship they have. and that includes the typical sibling squabbles as well. it’s very much a relationship that’s taken for granted; there’s no filter, no effort to hold back, no attempt at trying to tone down their behavior around one another. there is whining and bragging and squabbling and name-calling and tears, just as much as there is cooperation and respect and trust. because at the end of the day, the assumption is that the relationship will endure no matter what, so they can go at each other as hard as they can and it doesn’t matter. the other one’s presence is just a given. that’s the kind of relationship that this term “childhood friends” really encapsulates, I think.

The sudden change of their statuses when the quirks start to manifest is a major factor that placed them on opposite sides of the social hierarchy, and conditioned the way society and their peers would treat them. But despite this and the misunderstandings that happen between them and the falling apart of their relationship, the subconscious understanding between them remains intact through the years. They always flashback to their earlier memories. They probably didn't interact much in elementary or middle school, and even if they did, they interactions were already tainted by their social status and Bakugo’s hostility. They don't share their innermost feelings with anyone but each other. Like when Deku gets angry or determined to win and to surpass him, or when Bakugo screams and cries out his emotional turmoil at Deku. According to Japanese social rules those are selfish things to do. This relates to the concepts of honne and tatemae.

Japanese society is more regimented than one might believe just from watching anime. By middle school age, and even to some degree in primary school, children are expected to interact with their peers in a relatively professional way. This is especially true of relationships between students of opposite sexes. Such requirements aren't held for family or close friends, but for everyone else one is expected to be polite and not share their true feelings or say things too directly. This concept of dividing people into an in-group and an out-group (内外, uchi-soto) is somewhat hard for non-Japanese people to understand, but is central to interactions between people in Japanese culture. In fact, you can find plenty of examples of this and of the related concepts of honne and tatemae in anime if you look, but if you aren't looking for them specifically it's easy to miss. (source)

So, for example, you shouldn't show your true feelings/thoughts to other people, even more if they aren’t socially acceptable, because that may disturb the peace in the community. But because Deku and Kacchan are osananajimi that have known each other their whole life, that doesn't apply to them. By stating from the very beginning that Kacchan was Deku's childhood friend, Hori put them in a close relationship with each other with a level of intimacy, trust and a subconscious understanding not like any other. Kacchan is, in fact, closer to him than All Might himself.

Like, Deku has been calling Bakugo by his childhood nickname, Kacchan ("Ka[tsu]" from Katsuki + "-chan", which is usually used to address children or females in an affectionate way), even past the age he was excepted it to drop it. When they were 4 years old, the other kids called him "Kacchan" too, but growing up it would be seen as childish or disrespectful so they start to call him "Katsuki" or "Bakugo". This puts a level of distance between him and his peers that, regardless of what happened between them, didn't extend to Deku and Katsuki. And it had to cross Deku's mind at some point ( "Should I start calling him Katsuki/Bakugo too?") but he didn't or simply couldn't. Despite everything, he wasn't willing to put even more distance between himself and Bakugo. He deliberately refused to put formal distance between them, and more importantly, Bakugo just LET THAT BE.

___

Like, this was a great set up from the beginning for me. I knew there was a story there from the first episodes, and then "Deku vs Kacchan 1" happened, showing their childhood flashbacks and the misunderstandings that would persist until DvK2, and i was really into that lol They relationship was one of the main reasons I followed the manga.

i mean LOOK at THIS!

how i could NOT ship it i mean come on

Even their color schemes complement each other, and their costumes have the same/similar colors. they are are complementary opposites that share the same core: to become a hero, their admiration of All Might. Each of them has a quality the other lacks and needs to work on to become the heroes: heroes that win and save, as All Might put it. Selflessness and Selfishness: to help and save others, in one side, and to care for one's personal victory, in the other. Bakugo was obsessed with victory and glory, and Deku was willing to do anything to save others, to the point of self-destruction. These isolated qualities didn't made them good heroes, but combined, as the two learn them from each other, by the end of the story they really become two of the greatest heroes.

This connects with their rivalry, which is richer than any other in the manga because of the many layers to their relationship: they are obsessed with each other, want to compete with each other (for the rest of their lives!!!) and don't want the other to fall behind, specially after their misunderstandings are resolved. They also don't want to be left behind by the other. Because they love each other too much! Whether people interpret it as platonic or romantic or whatever in between (secret third they are like like four different types of greek love categories combined), they are each other's More Important Person outside of family members. Hell, Kacchan getting hurt is basically Deku's berserk button: he punches All Might in the face to save Katsuki during the end of term exam; he goes crazy protective and possessive when Katsuki gets kidnapped by the League of villains(Mr. Compress even calls him out lmao)

he goes crazy when Katsuki is hurt in front of him

and when he thought katsuki had died...

i mean. look at this romantic shit.

lol and i feel like i'm leaving many other stuff behind, like Bakugo's apology, and all the little moments after DvK, and all the times in the last arc where Bakugo was thinking about Izuku constantly, and the finale where Katsuki cried because Deku had given up OFA and was going to be quirkless again, and the fact that he was at the heart of the mecha suit years-long project because he wanted Izuku's dream, their dreams, to come true. but tbh I only read them the one time and need to reread the whole manga again to refresh my knowledge. and i already shipped them before all this haha.

they are amazing characters in a really well done shonen manga they have a beautiful story 🧡💚

TAGLIST

MASTERLIST

Having your son was a dream come true, he was perfect from every angle. His red eyes shined brightly and his mop of jet-black hair was always standing to attention, much like his father's. You loved how your son inherited his father's hair and deep down Kirishima loved that too. You watched Kirishima rock your son back and forth by the window while you tried your best to lay still in bed. Giving birth was not as glamorous as people had said. 

There was a knock at the door and you called out for them to enter, your friends piled through the door. “OI, where's my godchild?” Bakugou shouted, Mina shushed him quickly and smacked his arm. Kirishima turned slowly and spoke, “this is our son —--” All of your friends froze, it was not quite the reaction you were expecting. 

“Everything okay guys?” you asked, scared that your friends thought your baby ugly. 

“Yep, yep, yepppppp, all good, look at him” Mina said, staring wide-eyed at your friends as they stood there with their mouths open. Bakugou had already left the group and was already taking your child from Kirishima’s arms and rocking him back and forward. Amazed by this little human. 

“He’s gonna have such a kick ass quirk,” Bakugou said to the room, not particularly to anyone. 

Denki approached Bakugou and looked down at your son. “Looks nothing like you, my friend,” he said and Sero quickly hit him on the back of his head. Kirishima laughed and made his way to you, wrapping his arm around you. “Nah, he's a carbon copy of Eijirou.” You say to Denki who cannot make eye contact with you. You smile at your other friends in the room but they all look in opposite directions, you thought it was weird but you just put it down to your tiredness from the day's events. 

The nurse entered the room and was startled by all of the extra bodies in the room and looked at you both on the bed and nodded. “All right you lot, time to go, say your goodbyes, the Kirishima’s need to sleep and get used to their new little bundle.” She held the door open for them all. Bakugou made his way to you and gave you back your son, and ruffled your hair as he left. The rest of your friends hugged Kirishima and briefly made eye contact with you. You were very confused by this but decided it was because this was new for your friend group and it was a strange thought that you were all of the age of having kids and being married, not just UA students anymore. 

Lost in your thoughts, Kirishima took your son, placed him in his crib, and returned to your side, tucking you into him. “Have I told you, how amazing you are pebble?” You giggle, putting all your thoughts out of your head and looking at your husband. “Yes, you have, about a million times.” “Well make that a million and one, because you amaze me every second of every day, I love you.” he kisses your forehead, breathing you in. “I love you too.” You whisper and drift off to sleep. 

***  (Friends pov)  ***

“Well, that was…” Mina started, “Interesting.” Sero finished. Bakugou walked ahead of the group wanting to get to this car first, before Denki had a chance to hold up the line at the ticket clerk because he misplaced his ticket again. “He had, Jet black hair?” Denki said, looking at the group. “Yeah so? And ours is blonde spark plug, get over it, its hair.” Bakugou shouts out. 

“Don't you think it's very odd though.” Denki says again, hoping his friends would catch onto what he was getting at. “Tck no, its their natural colours, babies getting their parents hair colour is normal.” Bakugou said and got into his car. 

“But y/n is not black haired and neither is Kirishima.” Denki looked wide eyed at Mina and Sero. “You don't think she cheated on him do you, please tell me I’m wrong.” Denki pleaded with his friends but on the look on their faces, they thought the same. 

“We have to tell Kirishima, he deserves to know.” Sero says. 

“This is absolutely going to break his heart guys and he looked so happy upstairs.” Mina joined in. “I can't believe she would do this,” Denki said once more and entered the joint car. 

+++

It had been a couple of days since you and Kirishima brought your baby home, you could feel nothing but happiness for your little family. Today all your friends sat in the living room, Bakugou held your son as Kirishima stood near him, you never realised that Bakugou wanted to be a dad so much before. From the moment he entered your house and you guessed to the moment he leaves he will be holding your son. Every changing and feeding Bakugou was all for it, honestly it was a lovely break. You looked at your other friends in the room and all of them avoided making eye contact, it was starting to worry you. 

“As Bakugou has Yuki covered , I'm going to be very rude and excuse myself for a shower, motherhood is not as glamorous as they say.” You announce to the room, and approach Kirishima, standing on your tippy toes and kiss him quickly. He returns the kiss and watches you leave. The hot water was calling your name. 

Kirishima looked down at Bakugou and made his way to the couch across and sat down, letting his tired bones have a moment of not moving. Denki kept shifting in his seat, with Mina and Sero whispering constantly. 

“Okay, you lot, out with it.” Kirishima says to the room. Bakugou looks up and quickly realises it has nothing to do with him and returns his attention to this godson. Mina is frozen in her seat and Sero nudges her arm. Denki takes a breath and looks Kirishima in the eye. 

“So Kirishima, we have something to say, and we dont want you to be mad and we just want you to know, we're here for you in what ever you decide?” Mina says after she clears her throat. Bakugou looks at the trio and then to Kirishima with his eyebrow raised. 

“What's going on guys?” He replies to his friends. There is silence amongst the group. Kirishima sits forward in his seat. 

“We think…well..hmmm.. You see…” Sero tried to speak but was cut off by Denki. “WE THINK Y/N CHEATED ON YOU AND YUKI ISN'T YOURS.” 

Kirishima could not believe his ears, where was this coming from and why do his friends think his wife cheated on him? Kirishima looked at his hands, not really sure what to say to these accusations. 

“You dumbass think, y/n? Y/N WHO IS BASICALLY BEEN JOINED TO KIRISHIMA HIP SINCE UA SLEPT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.” Bakugou began to shout but quickly realised that Yuki was unhappy with the noise and stood to rock him back to sleep. 

Kirishima stood up and approached Bakugou to take over, “No you take care of those dumbasses, otherwise I'll kill them.” Bakugou says to his friend, and turns to leave the room. 

Kirishima turned to his friends, “Why on earth do you think my wife, your best friend, cheated on me?” Kirishima chuckles to himself, hes angry yes, but more just amazed at how dumb his friends can be. 

“Its Yuki, his hair is black, I fail to see black hair amongst this family Kirishima” Denki says, Kirishima drops his head and begins to laugh. “That’s what you're basing this all on, my son having black hair.” He asks the trio and they all nod in response. 

Upon finishing your shower really early, you had heard the whole thing from the hallway, Bakugou stood beside you, shaking his head in disbelief. As you silently giggle to yourself. “They really don't know about Kirishima?”

 “Nah he only ever asked me and you to dye it, You should burst in there all angry and make them feel bad.” Bakugou whispers, “I’ll go put him down.” He turns to walk down the hallway and disappears into Yuki room. 

You decided to play with your friends a little, yes you were hurt by what they were saying but also you could not believe the fact that they did not know Kirishima dyed his hair. You entered to room  behind them, Kirishima going off on a rant about trust and manly hood, how you could never cheat on him and they had no ground. 

“You think I would cheat on Kirishima, do you think so little of me.” You whisper, your eyes filling with the fact tears you were making. Mina gasped and turned around, Denki and Sero following her. They all looked like a deer caught in head lights. 

Mina stepped forward and tired to reach for your arm, “Y/n please Don’t cry, we don’t mean anyt-” You pulled your arm away from her, and tired push out more tears, which flowed perfectly down your face. Kirishima made eye contact with you and asked if you were okay and you quickly winked at him letting him know that everything was okay, that you were playing with them. 

“Have I ever at some point been disloyal to Eijirou? Have I done something that you make you feel so little of me?” You ask, and pushed out a deep cry, putting your hands over your face. 

“Y/N We’re so sorry, we didn’t think, we just- ahhhh Denki help me out.” Sero said as he pushed Denkis shoulder. 

“It’s just the Black hair y/n, thats all, we know you were never cheat on Kirishima, its just babies are meant to look like the parents and well Yuki, doesn/t look like Kirishima even though you say he does, it just seemed like you were trying to push this idea of him being Kirishima’s.” You look at Denki, and Sero, and lastly at Mina. 

“You think this aswell? You who’ve known Kirishima the longest believe Yuki doesn’t look like him.” Kirishima joins your side and holds you, trying to smirk and how naive your friends are being. 

“Yes, Denki wen’t off on a path and we all followed, Kirishima a natural red head, it just makes sense but believe me, we dont mean to hurt you at all, either of you.” She says. 

“YOU DUMBASS” Bakugou shouts from behind you all, and pushes past you and Kirishima. 

“Hair colour and Eye colour means nothing about the parenthood of the child, its all to do with genes and supressive genes, and Mina you all of all people, Im shocked at.” He begins again, “KIRISHIMA IS NOT A NATUAL RED HEAD”

All three friends turn to you both, your tears and stopped and your face wiped. 

“Now whos the dumbass Bakugou, His hair is obviously red, look!” Denki pointed. Bakugou tried to grab from Denki, releasing a few crackles of his quirk and Sero tired to stop him. Meanwhile Mina just stood, staring at Kirishima’s hair. 

Suddenly she gaped out loud, throwing her hands over her face and began to cry. Sero, Denki and Bakugou all stopped. Mina walked forward and collapsed in your arms. “Y/n please, please, please forgive me, i’ve been an awful friend.” She sobbed and you tried to comfort her. 

“Mina, why are you apologising?” Denki asked. 

She turned in your arms, and looked at the males, “Becasue Kirishima isn’t a redhead, he has black hair, I can’t believe I forgot.” She cried again. 

“Mina, Kirishima’s does not have black hair look at his roots? His eyebrows? They are all red?” Denki spoke again. 

“Denki, my natural colour is black, hence Yuki, looking like me, I’ve just been dyng it since I joined U.A. back in the day.” Kirishima spoke up. 

“Nu huh, you’re lying.” Denki said. 

“No I am not lying, I do really have black hair.” Kirishima repesponded. 

“Nope, lies.”

“Denki, believe me, he does have black hair.” You respond. 

“How would you know, you both met in U.A.” Denki said, looking straight at you, you shock your head and spoke. 

“Well for starters who do you think dyes his hair, and he’s my husband.” 

“What does being Husband and Wife have to do with it.” Denki says putting his hands on his hips. 

“Oh my god, Kirishima just show him.” Bakugou huffed and held onto Denki’s shoulder throwing him towards Kirishima, who caught the blonde before he fell over. Kirishima just rolled his eyes and pulled Denki towards the bathroom. Bakugou looked at Sero and raised his eyebrow. 

In the distance you could still hear Denki complain and ask what he was doing, suddenly it went quiet and a scream busted through the air, followed by someone running down the hall. Denki appeared all flustered, Kirishima appeared behind him and length against the doorframe all smug with himself. 

“Black hair, definitely black hair.” Denki said and his shoulders dropped. 

“You sure you dont need convincing Sero.” Bakugou asked. 

Sero looked at Denki, then at Kirishima and lastly at Bakugou. “Nah I’m good, I believe you.” 

Denki dropped to his knees in front of you, and held your hands. “Y/n, I am so sorry that I turned everyone against you, and made them believe that your cheated, I can’t believe I was so stupid, of course Yuki is Kirishima’s and Yours, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life making it up to you, it wasn’t cool.” 

“I’m really sorry y/n.” Sero spoke up, Mina spoke her apologies again. 

“I am not going to lie, I am pretty hurt by what you guys thought I did, that I would ever cheat on Eijirou and ruin our happiness, I am not sure I am ready to accept this apology but for the moment we can continue on from this moment.” you said to them and pulled them all into a hug. They all understood and hugged you back. 

There was a breathe of silence and you spoke up, “So when will it be funny at the fact that Denki was forced to look at Eijirou’s cock.” Bakugou was the first to laugh and everyone joined in, while Denki just stood like he saw a ghost. 

“I don’t know y/n whats worst, having a baby or having sex with Kirishima, mans a horse.” Denki spoke and tried his best not to make eye contact with Kirishima. Everyone bursted into laughter. Kirishima walked forward and hit Denki on the back of his head and then pulled him under his arm and rushed his knuckles against his hair. “Don’t talk about little Eijirou like that.” 

“There is nothing little about, little Eijirou, Kirishima.” Bakugou spoke up amongst the laughter. 

“Wait, how would you know.” You asked Bakugou, raising your eyebrow. 

“Do you hear that? I think Yuki is crying.” Bakugou ran off down the hallway. 

“No Katsuki, not so quick, theres a story in there somewhere.” You ran after him. 

Your house filled with laughter once more.

Shoto's First Kiss Timeline? Idk let's plot it out together

Gif Caption: Me and Shoto sitting together on the train, vibing. 💕

Hi All!!

If you're a fan of the Shoto's First Kiss series, Chapter 5 dropped at like 3:30 am EST this morning because I am an absolute HEATHEN and decided to have a late night/early morning editing session for 3 hours before posting. This was fun because I decided to add the whole Lisa Frank phone background scene for kicks and add a little more build up to the smut scene (I love a slowish burn...what can I say!?).

@brie-is-cheesy had some great questions in the comments of Chapter 5, I'm going to post it below and answer the best I can! I don't have a full answer to everything and I'm taking some ✨creative liberties ✨ here and there but lets see if I can clear some things up for my lovely readers!

Hiiiii, totally loved it; I was wondering when this is set? Like the timeline, I just got confused I'll leave the list of confusing things about the timeline,, I wrote about how much I love this in my reblog cuz this is awesome!! -since bnha is set in the mid to late 2100s I was wondering if the older songs they're listening to will include songs that are relatively new for us as of now? -when does this occur? Like you mentioned they're in their first year, and its after they've moved into the dorms but it's nearing the summer of next year, so is it after the war arc, or after the events of bnha entirely? Just wanted to ask! Thank you for the update!!<3 - brie-is-cheesy

Okay these are FAB questions and honestly I can't give you a straight answer to all of them!

Here's the background: So this story started out as a one shot - this past year, Shoto hasn't been one of my main MHA favorites. When I started the Red Riot Unbreakable Heart blog, my goal was to focus on what I've been calling "My Big Three." This includes Kirishima (lol thus my username), Hakws, and Hitoshi Shinsou (I love me an emo man). I was sprinkling in smutty one shots here and there involving other characters (ex. BakuDeku Smut: Hooking Up At A Pro Hero Gala and Beneath the Bookshelves | BakuDeku ). Shoto was one of those random one offs that I was like, huh why not!? But then I published Shoto's First Kiss (Part One) this one shot about Reader x Shoto totally took off in a way I wasn't expecting. Shoto resonates a lot with you all and the more I started writing for him, the more I grew to love him. He's so complex and in need of love and care. He has so much capacity for love!! I wanted to explore that more and figure out how he would act in his first encounters with intimacy and relationships. So I kept posting chapters, and started plotting out this wild story!

Timeline: When I started writing the one shot, I wanted the story to ambiguously take place in the 2nd or 3rd year when the characters were a little older. I was kind of working it in an AU where the war had vaguely happened and was over but everyone is okay and no one was injured/died/had their quirk impacted by AFO. In the context of Shoto's First Kiss chapter one - the war doesn't matter (at least if you re-read it I hope you don't find any plot holes mentioning the war!?). Also I have tried to say "Class A" instead of "Class 1A" because as I wrote more chapters, I still hadn't figured out what year we are in here.

Now that we're world building and have a more fleshed out story, here's what I'm thinking. Bare with me, we are going to need to suspend some disbelief here and I might need to go back and make some tweaks to previous chapters to keep everything in line with this line of thinking. But let's say this:

Timeline: The timeline takes place in the character's 1st year. I just combed through this timeline of MHA that someone put together on Reddit. I'm thinking this likely takes place at the end of Term 1. Final exams are coming up, and the students have heard a little about the training camp. Most of the MHA events so far are probably cannon in my fic universe, unless otherwise mentioned. The great thing for me is - most of MHA is in the context of Izuku's experiences, so there's a lot of wiggle room in the timeline for what could be happening between Shoto x The Reader. I haven't decided if the current chapters take place before or after Shoto/Izuku/Ida's encounter with Stain, because I can see some interesting plot points coming from that. I'll think about it!! This may change, but for purposes of continuity I think this could work as I move forward with my plotting!

Age: All the characters are at least 16. Let's just roll with that and take some creative liberties here. I'm aging everyone up.

The Dorms: In this fic universe, I pictured the students moving into the dorms at the start of the year. Like the dorms are just part of the normal UA experience - for all intents and purposes it's a boarding school.

The Songs: Okay this is a really interesting idea! I am literally just putting in playlists of music I like right now, I didn't think much about modern music flowing into the story. Lol would Honenuki listen to BRAT!? Maybe. I love him and think of him as a sweet chill cinnamon roll of a dude, though. I think he would be scandalized by Guess Featuring Billie Eilish. Or maybe he'd love it. He'd def love Chappell Roan, though. Dude is a sloot for Red Wine Super Nova and I just know it!

The Vibe: @ all of my beloved readers - I realize that this story means a lot to people, and I love that!! Even though we explore complex and serious subject matter at times, this is still a goofy silly story that I write for fun! Please don't hold me to these ideas that I'm throwing out in a semi-public brainstorm. I am but a simple fanfic writer who churns out most of the Shoto pages at midnight after I work two jobs. Shoto's First Kiss is a project that I write purely for fun and to build community with other adult MHA fans. I'm not like going to publish this as a book or put it on Patr*on behind a paywall or something. So let's keep it light! That being said, I love interacting with everyone so if there are fun questions that you think would be interesting for me to answer in this story, let me know! I'm very open to hearing thoughts and considering new ideas here :)

Okay okay SORRY FOR SO MUCH INFO! Thanks again @brie-is-cheesy for being so thoughtful in your reading and for asking these great questions! This is def going to help me guide the next few chapters of the story as I plot things out and as we get a satisfying next chapter in The Party arc. I'm going to post this reply on my Master List so we can all keep track of it and come back to it easily if needed.

As always, thanks for reading!! Sending good vibes to all ☺️

XOXO,

[ofallthingsnasty]

Do you know any other yandere/dark conent like yourself?

fyi you sent this twice and i've had someone in my inbox in the last weeks with the same 'problem' - your app/connection might be fucky, just so you know haha

Sure I do!! I don't know what fandoms you're looking for, so I'll just throw a whole bunch of people at you I adore. In general, check my fic recs tag!! I don't read much but I've reblogged a thing or two in my day, haha

@after-witch I love Theo - I've been following her for three years now and her writing is divine. She writes very delicately - if you like psychological horror/dark fic, bleak fates and that sinking feeling in your stomach, her blog is just the place! Theo has written and writes for a lot of fandoms (from JJK, HxH, BNHA etc to original content), I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. @391780 You HAVE to check out Early's stuff. Fat reader fics galore. They write everything from romance to soft dark to dark fic, all CoD. I know nothing about CoD but by some strike of fate her fics landed on my dash and I've been in love ever since. You don't need to know anything about that fandom, trust me, you can go in blind and you'll fall in love just as much. If you like dark dark stuff, her Nikto masterlist is perfect - and the Nobody series is my ultimate fave of theirs. So delicious, you'll want to curl up and cry afterwards (out of joy).

@darkficsyouneveraskedfor Roo is THE darkfic writer to me. She writes MCU/DC and again, I haven't watched a Marvel movie since 2015 - but you don't need those to read her fics. She crafts AUs you've never even thought about - and masterfully so. Seriously, I especially love her historical stuff and the way she puts you into these worlds is something else. Roo's writing is very direct and raw and hopeless. She doesn't write happy ends and it's amazing. One of my favorite series of hers is Tapestry , a medieval AU featuring Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. If you want something even darker, Splintered is another masterpiece of hers that I've been screaming about on here for literal years 😭💕

@stupid-sloot-headcanons is another fixture on the 'dark fic side' of tumblr to me. Sloot has ... everything. Seriously. Pluck in a random fandom of yours and 9/10 times, she's written about it. Her thought/characterization posts never miss, she just gets characters through some form of magical mental connection, I swear.

@thus-spoke-lo Pain Management. You will read this. Now. No discussions. Adshjshfj but seriously, Lo has written SO much. So many different tropes, so many different levels of romance. I'm on a One Piece kick right now and her whole OP masterlist got me through the first 300 chapters of my re-read... The twists, the turns, the love (or not) - experience it for yourself (╹ڡ╹ ) And of course, I have to mention @girlwithsharpt33th and @tang3r1n - they're both still 'fresh' but give them a scroll... Things are brewing and they're perfect and disgusting and abhorrent 💕

and a rest in peace goes out to kyneslust (mae) and captainmcslashypaws... you two are missed. so much. 😭💕

[sapphic-agent]

I read your analysis and anti bakugou posts and I want to say thank you!

Going to be kinda long so I’m sorry!

There is another fandom where there is character exactly like bakugou; angry, violent, egotistical and target his hate and aggression to one person only.

the character name is Jiāng cheng from the MDZS novel. But the narrative in the story doesn’t treat all the shit that jerk did as right, it the opposite. He seen as vile that nobody want to associate with (getting banned from all the match making places in the story even)

He never takes the spotlight of the two main nor he is redeemed characters instead seen as pathetic and arrogant jerk he is. The MC, Wei wuxian who was his adoptive brother (not really more like a servant that got treated like a dog) cut ties with him in the end.

He a well written and rounded character but the character personality is shit and I don’t really like him. And the narrative isn’t treating him any differently than being a piece of shit

Why I’m telling you this? Because I feel like if MHA have been written by someone who isn’t Hori bakugou would not have gotten away with the shit he did in the story.

beside the point of the way the narrative treat Jiang cheng, it’s the fandom. When I got into the MDZS fandom I was so disappointed to see bakugou stans 2.0 there but instead of bakugou it’s Jiang cheng.

Both bakugou and Jiang cheng get the same treatment in the fandom as “UWU needs to protect the angry violent person” and “it’s the MC fault our cute UWU baby didn’t do anything wrong” and lots of stuff that I bet you seen in the bnha fandom

It’s sad that even if the story shows that what Jiang cheng wasn’t right (unlike bakugou case where the story doesn’t make him have any consequences) people would outright be mean to other people just because they follow the canon prototype of the character in their fics (I seen it and it’s horrible)

And, in fics it’s seems that every time that Jiang cheng appears in the scene he makes everyone OOC (if the fic is sticking to canon personality). Makes them act like they won’t ever act; it’s the same thing with bakugou (in canon and fanon respectively sadly)

I love to call it the “black hole effect” when a certain character just make the scenes about them no matter the context, like a black hole.

Im sorry this is all over the place, im not really good with words and i used to be pretty active in both fandoms but now its really hard because bakugou and Jiang cheng stans are overall tiring to deal with and they seems to grow up in numbers everyday and yeah… 👍

Have a nice day and week!

Hi! I've never read it but it sounds interesting.

I always try to tell Bakugou stans, it's not the fact that Bakugou's an awful person. I don't care about that. Fictional characters aren't real and can be liked for whatever even if they're vile pieces of shit. It's okay to like a vile piece of shit.

What's not okay is creating that vile piece of shit and then brushing over and never calling out their horrible actions. What's not okay is everyone around them condoning their behavior. What's not okay is pandering to them over their victims. What's not okay is never making them face consequences for their actions. What's not okay is constantly putting them on a pedestal for doing the bare minimum.

Look at Vegeta (RIP Toriyama). Vegeta is always getting humbled and called out. He is never going to surpass Goku because never getting what he wants is part of his retribution. Considering his actions, he should be worse than Bakugou. But he's a way better character because of how the narrative and the other characters treat him.

(You can even compare specific instances. When Bakugou rushed ahead and attacked Kurogiri and got Thirteen seriously hurt, no one said a thing to him and he still won all his fights. He faced zero repercussions. When Vegeta let Cell absorb 18, he immediately got his ass kicked and had to get saved by Trunks and Krillin. Vegeta's actions always affect him terribly, Bakugou's actions always affect everyone else terribly while he gets off scott-free)

DBZ came out decades ago and it still created a better character arc than a 2010s-2020s manga. Horikoshi could have easily given Bakugou a proper redemption arc. He chose not to

Hi, I love your analyses and your fics! 💕Especially that Eureka Seven AU man ngl it lives in my head and starts playing in my local theaters every other night at 2 AM, but *clears throat* I'm getting off topic lol :D do you have a bakudeku fic/authors rec list?

I'm honored you read the Eureka Seven one!

Good Bakudeku authors... the truth is, there are SO MANY. Just in general, and so many that are really, truly excellent. I have begun consuming more and more fic lately as I feel the itch of the subtext of what's happening in the manga rapidly becoming text and just plain consuming me, but many of the individual stories I've read can be GREAT as a story but perhaps not so great as a canon-faithful representation of Bakudeku - so I'm not entirely sure what kind of Bakudeku you're asking for ("fun and good story" versus "horny vignette" versus "that's totally Katsuki and Izuku.")

Also, like, for several of these authors, their Bakudeku portrayals evolved as the series progressed and we all learned more about these characters and the varnish of what BNHA pretends to be (superhero stock shonen!) peeled off to show what it actually is (The newest generation of something that should never have been domesticated now outgrowing the limits of the modern genre.) This is always good to keep in mind when looking at the dates of each work published.

Um, it's hard to pick just a few, and even harder when there's no specific direction about what TYPE. So here's a scattershot off the top of my head:

Me. My work. Read Mundane Crimes, Public Displays of Affection and I Want What I Don't Deserve. Those actually have some substance to them. The rest are kind of whatever, but you may still find them fun.

Kickass AUs and All-Rounders

chymerical is my favorite author on this list. They can do anything. I care about sports now because of chymerical. There's your fuckin' fadeaway.

young_crone - some are truly Bakudeku and some are just great stories that are using familiar names. Read all of 'em.

SmartiMart - Variant Edition is a sweeping epic and fascinating enough that the Bakudeku isn't actually its primary draw for me. Please also read Where in the World is Marigold? It's not Bakudeku, but I love it. SmartiMart is clever, inventive, and sometimes so much of a romantic that it makes me go, "woah, now! That's a bit much!" but in the best way.

iphido - this author has only one work for bakudeku, and it is worth it.

nicc - bite-sized sweet scenes, though many are very NSFW. Consistently excellent.

pikahlua - Dragonheart. this is your kick in the pants to finish those scenes, Pika.

Romantic Comedies

qodqodqod - Cringe comedy where love always, always, always prevails and bakudeku can't out-stupid their way out of it. Great job of not making the miscommunication, or lack of communication, a bore or overdone past what it needs to be.

heartsinhay - the cringe comedies are named that for a reason.

Darker Stuff

rironomind - apparently published something new earlier this year and I missed it??? DAMN! Existential, experimental, melancholic, high concept, fantastic. Rom's work is mostly in this category because it tends to throw curveballs at the reader. This is the category that just felt the most right by its vibes.

bkdkink - Lemonhead specifically.

Roadtripwithlucifer (read their new stuff too) - horny, but focused and full, full, full of ennui and anger and love and grief. It's the confidence of handling the last four that makes these works shine.

Surveycorpsjean - hit or miss for me personally, but always well done.

majjale - always great work; sometimes hit-or-miss for me personally on the bakudeku.

Hawks X Reader | When You Two Started Getting Closer

A/N: I've had this idea in mind for sometime so here it is.

I could see that he would be a little bit uncomfortable at first. Not that he doesn't like it. He did, but he has never let anyone this near to his REAL personality. He always put on a show for the world, but you could see right through it all.

At first, he always brushed it off, but every encounter with you ended with him thinking, "Am I that transparent?" So to test it once more, he ends up "accidentally" bumping into you a lot. And every time, you left him even more insecure in his abilities to hide it all from the world.

You always would ask a question that'd hit a nerve but ended the conversation with such soothing words that would make him look at himself differently, in a good way.

You can see the good in him, and he always saw the bad. You were determined not to be his support system but rather to show him what you can see because you want him to be independent in his ability to bring himself up when he is down emotionally. But you ended up as both in the end.

After a couple of months, he was hooked on you! The people he hung out with were other pro heroes who would repeat the same nonsense things repeatedly or he was with press & media people who were toxic as hell! They knew exactly how to use him for their profits and hawks knew it all. But the cycle of always being in the limelight was so natural to him that now he cannot live without it.

But with you, it was all different. You could see his insecurities and his own "made-up flaws" oh-so-clearly. You confused him with your kindness and your affection. His mind would be running with questions like, "What are you even getting out of this?". This is why with you, he could feel like he just wants to let out all the emotions that he has been burying for all these years. 

He felt safe but he didn't know it yet because he never felt it before. He didn't know how it felt to be emotionally safe with someone. This broke your heart because you could see how kind he was and how observant he was for others and would sacrifice a lot for them, who would never do the same for him. Also, you can see how he is wrapped up in these materialistic dopamine kicks that are actually hurting his inner peace and happiness.

You had no motive to be with him at first because of his Playboy persona. So all you wanted for your favorite hero was to be happy off-camera too. But as you started understanding him more, somehow helping him healed you as well.

He'd get distant at times when you were too straightforward because you scared him. And you understood that, so you tried to be as subtle in helping as you could, but sometimes you just couldn't help but state the obvious. And he cannot stay away from you for long too so he'd come back around.

It came to a point that you two had very deep feelings for each other but were just confused if these were because of the way you two can see through each other or do you actually like each other.

If you could see from a third person's perspective, it could have not been any clearer that you two were in love.

Thanks For Reading and for the ask! Here is BNHA Masterlist <3

[phantomrose96]

is csm good?

yeah

I read it about a year ago, and pretty quickly, so I've forgotten a lot of the specific details. I also wouldn't put it in my list of all-time faves. But it does something very different and refreshing for a shounen series which really sticks with me.

Let's see if I can figure out how to phrase this - but it allows itself to be a tragedy in a way most typical shounen don't. Having characters with tragic backstories is a common staple in shounen. Having bad things happen is common. But most of these series have a veneer wrapped around it--someone's tragic backstory is just the motivating fodder so they can go out and kick ass and save the world (and maybe get the girl.) Things like Naruto, BNHA, Demon Slayer, HxH have that vibe for me. It's not bad. But it's expected.

CSM does something different, especially with the handling of sexuality. From the first episode it kinda looks like CSM is planning to follow the typical path--main character Denji is an orphan with a tragic backstory, fights devils to survive, gets chainsaw powers so now he can epically kill devils and--what's this--there's a girl he's interested in! Maybe he'll get Makima in the end!

Then the rest of part 1 (I haven't read part 2 yet so I can't comment on it) plays out as a tragedy for Denji. He's the victim of systems manipulating him--as a street rat who's never really been socialized, and just wants food, shelter, love, (and yeah, sexual attention)--and he doesn't have the autonomy or maturity or awareness to stop it.

There's so much less "now that the backstory is out of the way, let's kick ass and have fun" and way more "oh, the tragedy matters. the powerlessness matters. the human fallibility matters." It's not a mega-dark torture-fest but it's grounded, in the way I like.

I've stayed out of The Discourse:tm: because everything is better that way, but I at least know there's some gripes from people angry that "The main character's motivation is he wants to touch boobs? Gag. Creepy anime shit." without paying close enough attention to realize the execution is wildly different from most anime fanservice.

And I'm saying this as someone who hates anime fanservice. I just kinda hold my nose whenever anime has *wink wink, nudge nudge, isn't this saucy and exciting, audience? ;)* kind of fanservice. I'm a long-time Hater of Mineta, and everything that goes with it.

But CSM's portrayal is... not fanservice. If you look up clips from the show, the female characters' designs are all extremely grounded. Denji's sexual motivation is for Denji. It's clear that this is a shallow and immature pursuit, and it's fascinating to watch how Denji's expectations don't meet reality. How he ends up feeling lost and confused when his pursuits turn hollow or hurt him, and then he gets strung along by manipulative institutions promising there's something better at the end of this all, if he just does these things for them. He's a victim of grooming, and that feels so rare for the shounen genre where the main character is almost always celebrated for achieving any kind of sexual goal.

So we all know BNHA is terrible at Actions and Consequences on characters that deserve it.

But have you ever wondered that when consequences ARE dished out it's on people that don't deserve it?

Case in point, Sero with the Finals, Mina and Denki with the finals because they were CLEARLY at a disadvantage, Izuku with the House Arrest, the list can go on.

Like, why is it with characters that hasn't done anything bad while those who do get to go off Scot free?

Now this could've been used in a good way as to show how kind of flawed their society is if they allow the bad ones go while the good ones suffer in their place.

But that's just me I guess.

Hi @theloganator101 👋,

That is an excellent point and one I hadn't thought of before.

The problem with MHA is not just the assholes of the story getting no consequence, it's the fact that when consequences are dished out it's on those who do not deserve it.

It creates a deeply unsatisfying narrative because MHA never uses this as a tool to show how flawed their universe is. Instead the narrative says it's ok for people like Bakugou (especially Bakugou) to be let off the hook all the time.

Let's go through your examples because you raise some excellent points;

Sero in the finals was used for Mineta's character development and failed when he passed out. This is unfair in several ways 1) he saved Mineta which is what heroes are meant to do. 2) Sero worked with him the whole time till he passed out 3) his tape meant that Mineta could succeed. 4) If Sero fails BAKUGOU should also have failed, for more reason too because unlike Sero Bakugou didn't do points 1,2, or 3 with Izuku and only briefly worked with him after punching his ally in the face. The punching in the face thing should have been an immediate fail because imagine if Bakugou pulled that shit in an actual fight - it could have caused the death of himself and his ally.

Mina and Denki in the finals where not given a fair shot and were set up to fail against Nedzu. I've seen people laugh about this, saying Aizawa must have known they had no chance to succeed to let Nedzu vent his sadistic tendencies on them which...yikes. Aizawa stans are now outing him as an awful teacher but I also do not put this past him. Teachers are meant to set up their pupils for success, not failure. Can you imagine the fear, realistically, that Mina and Denki would have felt upon failing with Expellzawa is their homeroom teacher, ready to drop an expulsion for shits and giggles? They would think he would turn around to them and say - 'You died in this test therefore your prospects as a hero are now dead too,' By contrast IZUKU in his and Bakugou's final exam was used for Bakugou's benefit only. During his final Recover Girl says about Izuku and Bakugou "they are terrible at teamwork those two", like it's some two sided issue and not Izuku trying desperately to work with his abuser because HIS GRADE is at stake!!

Izuku with the house arrest - I have another ask about this so I will go more in-depth there but the punishment Izuku received was unfair because even if you make the argument of *The security cameras didn't have audio, Aizawa didn't know Bakugou dragged Izuku out to fight,* watching the footage should have shown, Bakugou was the main aggressor and dragged Izuku out to fight. To add on to this, Bakugou has been the aggressor of Izuku all academic year. Aizawa is meant to be smart, Mr Logical etc... So how is he such a dumbass about this? Besides the house arrest benefits Bakugou in the end because he doesn't get his butt kicked by Mirio, Bakugou avoids what would have been a humbling moment for him.

All of this is deeply unsatisfying to watch when you realise that the assholes of the story will never get punished while Izuku and the other good characters get dragged, either in the name of comedy or because Hori likes to watch them suffer all the time...
