[nocthena]

Anyone else ever raging cause people in the west think that Japanese media is LGBTQ+ phobic?

Like, there are literally hundreds of examples of dubbed versions of animes censoring any hint toward homosexual relationships and trans or genderfluid characters?? Yall ever watched Sailor Moon?? It just pisses me off so much, especially when people think that things like the translation were Deku asks to be introduced to Sir and All Might's words are chosen in a way that you can translate them to "We broke up" when Mic says he's letting his feelings get in the way???

And then people think that the sexual tension between characters is just "bros being bros and that's just dude's yaknow" or "That's just how girls are". Dude. DUDE. Lemme tell you. It's more than that and that's okay. So stop crying your petty ass off that your favourite character just might be very queer.

Midoriya-Bakugo household slumber party 🥳

[fawn-eyed-girl]

You and Me and a Baby Makes...Me A Bakugou, Midoriya, and BABY story! Chapters 1 and 2 now live on Ao3!

Hi, everyone! I am beyond excited to bring you the latest multi-chapter BakuDeku (and, for the first time, Dkbk) story I’ve been working on. You and Me and a Baby Makes...Me has been in the works for a long time, and it’s finally close to completion. It’s a story that I hope you will enjoy reading, as much as I’ve enjoyed writing. I live for a soft Papa Kacchan and found family feels, and it’s truly been a joy to take him on this particular journey ❤️

Story Summary: Bakugō Katsuki wants to break into the Top 10 heroes in Japan more than anything. He’s put in the work; he’s strong and capable. The only problem is his…”attitude,” which makes him the Hero People Love to Hate.

On the other hand, Midoriya Izuku is the number 2 hero, and beloved by everyone...except Katsuki. Once childhood friends, and now bitter rivals, and reluctant business partners, Katsuki just can’t deal with Izuku’s success.

Then one day, a daring rescue leads Endeavor and All Might to concoct a plan that just might be the perfect makeover for Katsuki. It’s an idea that Katsuki hates, and Izuku loves.

An idea that Katsuki fights against with his entire being, especially when he starts to fall in love with it—and with Izuku—too.

My Top 20 BKDK Moments (So Far)

by mysterylover123

Warning, anime onlys: I’ll be mentioning Manga stuff, though only 2 of them are all that spoiler-y

#20. YOU MADE THAT BORROWED POWER  YOUR OWN

3.19 “RUSH!” Provisional License Exam Arc

What Happens: Bakugo asks Midoriya if he’s made ‘that borrowed power’ his own, complimenting him indirectly by saying that of course he passed. Deku gets super excited at being complimented by him.

Why I like it: For all the shit they throw at one another early on, BK & DK do really look up to/respect each other. They won’t admit it easily, but scenes like this (and a later scene in Chapter 194, where Deku compliments Kacchan and he too reacts extremely) showcase that respect. I love it. Also, Kacchan knows Deku’s AM’s inheritor already.

#19. HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY BETTER? (Manga)

Chapter 168 “The Strange Tale of Aoyama” Interlude arcs

What happens. Post Internship arc, Bakugo asks Deku if he’s gotten any better since they last talked. Deku says no, and Bakugo reminds him that he said he’d surpass him. This prompts Deku to work harder.

Why I like it: Ideal RivalShipping is about two characters pushing each other to be their best selves. Bakugo is great at getting Deku to try harder, just as Deku prompts his best self.

#18. YOUR QUIRK IS AMAZING, KACCHAN

Backstory flashback, multiple times. Mostly Battle Trial Arc

What happens: Baby Deku and Kacchan walk through the woods together, talking about quirks, before DK is found to be quirkless. This is one of many scenes of Baby Deku and Kacchan being casual friends.

Why I like it: I love the cute scenes of them as kids, where they seem to be actual friends and hang out together, bonding over All-Might and quirks and heroes. I hope we get to see them hang out like that again as adults some day.

#17. SECRET OFA TALKS (MANGA SPOILERS!)

Chapter 217: End of joint Training Arc

What Happens: Kacchan joins in the AM and Deku talks (for the 2nd time) to discuss what’s happening with OFA. He also works with Deku on trying to master his new ability.

Why I like it: Bakugo is instantly able to help Deku zero in on the information he needs up joining the secret OFA talks, in a way that AM wasn’t able to. He makes a great partner for Deku here, getting right to the point and refusing to waste time.

#16. “I COULD MOVE LIKE KACCHAN”

Hero-Killer Arc, 2.14-2.19

What Happens: Deku is trying to master OFA. He thinks about how he wants to move, and uses Kacchan’s moves as his model. He’s able to discover Full Cowling like this, which lets him fight Stain and do well in the race - and everyone notices (Iida, Uraraka, Todoroki, Bakugo) that he’s moving like Kacchan.

Why I like it: Deku has lots of moments where he thinks “What would Kacchan do” or tries to model himself on the guy. He admires the crap out of him - but not in the blind way he tries to imitate AM, or Ochaco tries to imitate Deku, or Iida Ingenium. Because Deku doesn’t hero-worship Baku, but sees his flaws, he’s able to imitate him without losing himself.

#15. “HE’S AMAZING”

Battle Trial Arc, 1.07-1.08

What happens: Midoriya and Uraraka are pitted against Kacchan and Iida in mock battle. Midoriya goes on and on and on about how awesome Kacchan is and how much he wants to beat him - first in a speech to Uraraka, later telling Bakugo to his face.

Why I like it: Deku really looks up to Kacchan, and even at their most adversarial, he still talks about him in positive terms and speaks of him as a cool guy he wants to surpass. Deku doing this is also good for Bakugo, since he’s able to acknowledge his flaws and strengths without kissing his ass like his sidekicks in middle school; Deku beating him upsets his pride and sets off his Character Development.

#14. TWIN STARS OF CLASS 1-A

3.17 Class 1-A, License Exam Arc

What Happens: Aizawa meta’s about his class with Ms Joke, explaining that Deku and Kacchan are the center of every Class A incident, and despite not getting along, their presence elevates everyone else up.

Why I like it: The staff of UA seem to ship BKDK. They teamed them up to fight AM and encourage them to get along. Aizawa sees clearly how each one inspires everyone else. This speech groups them together as a duo who act in tandem. Twin Stars.

#13. “THE MOST AMAZING HERO ALWAYS WINS IN THE END.”

2.24 “Katsuki Bakugo origin” Flashback

What happens. Baby Kacchan fights off a bunch of older kids, even though he’s in tears. Baby Deku watches him from afar and looks deeply impressed.

Why I like it: Deku seems to have admired Kacchan since he was really, really young. I’m not sure when this scene takes place, but Deku’s big smile and wide, shining eyes when watching Bakugo seem like a mark of affection and love to me.

#12. ABOUT MY/YOUR SHOOT STYLE

3.23 Deku vs Kacchan Part 2

What happens: Post Fight, under house arrest alone, Deku and Kacchan have a very civil conversation, where depending on the translation either Deku brings up Shoot style and asks for advice, or Kacchan offers it on his own. Ends with Deku smiling.

Why I like it: Post-DVK2, they immediately establish that they’re now capable of talking to each other in civil terms. Kacchan gives Deku civil advice, and despite saying ‘it pissed me off’, the whole exchange is beautifully positive.

#11. GET OUT OF MY WAY, DEKU

1.12 All Might USJ Arc

What happens: Deku jumps in to save Al Might and is nearly killed by Kurogiri. At the last second Kacchan saves him by taking down Kurogiri. Also Later Kacchan is nearly killed and Deku screams in horror.

Why I like it: Bakugo doesn’t have a ton of scenes where he saves Deku, but the few times he does save someone/show concern for them, it’s usually him. This is Baku’s first save, and though he phrases it in rude terms, he still does it. Actions> words.

#10. WELL, NOW I’M EVEN MORE EAGER (MANGA)

Chapter 202, joint Training Arc

What Happens: Deku and AM go off to talk OFA. Kacchan refuses to be left out and joins them voluntarily. Noticing Deku is upset he encourages him in his own way, which AM observes. Once Deku smiles, Kacchan goes back to being his abrasive self.

Why I Like it: Baku is newly nicer (in his Tsundere way) after DVK2. He’s actually able to be kind to Deku and encouraging. This is similar to the advice the OFA users give Deku later, which helps him actually use the power. OFA Co-conspirators FTW.

#9. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN

3.11-3.12 US of Smash

What Happens: Post All Might’s fight, Kacchan notices Deku’s tears and AM’s words, and puts the pieces together. He asks AM about Deku and when he’s shot down he remains quiet and brooding.

Why I like it: Bakugo changes forever in this section of the story. He realizes the truth about Deku. He blames himself for ending AM. He asks about Deku and shows awareness that something’s up with him. It’s all very self-aware and sweet.

(#8-2, examples of super-mega-ultra concern for each other)

#8. YOU’RE PROBABLY THE MOST FRUSTRATED OF ALL

3.04-3.10 Training Camp and Hideout Raid Arcs

What Happens: While fighting Muscular, Deku learns that Kacchan is in danger. He goes psycho Madman Deku mode for the whole Training Camp Arc, refusing to pause or rest until he’s saved Kacchan. He falls apart when Kacchan is taken, then immediately goes off to save him again even though he could die.

Why I like it. Deku likes saving people in general, but when someone threatens Kacchan, he goes crazy in a way he doesn’t for anyone else. He spends this whole arc hopped up on “Must save Kacchan” juice and keeps pushing and going no matter what. He cares about the guy, no two ways about it.

#7. DON’T COME, DEKU

3.07 “What a Twist!”

What happens: Bakugo is captured by villains. He’s being dragged through the portal and Deku comes barreling towards him with two broken arms, fully prepared to jump through the portal and die just to save him. Bakugo tells him not to and Deku listens.

Why I like it: Though this arc is filled with Deku being crazy protective of Baku, Baku gets his own fair share in right here. He tells Deku not to basically die protecting him, and Deku listens. Baku basically saves his life here, at the expense of his own.

#6. “ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? ARE YOU HURT?”

Backstory flashback repeated a lot.

What happens: Baby Kacchan slips and falls into a creek. Baby Deku goes down to help him up and asks if he’s ok. This offends Baby Kacchan’s pride.

Why I like it: Bakugo probably never had anyone treat him like a fallible human being until Deku came along. Everyone told him he was amazing and could never be hurt - but Deku doesn’t. That bruises his ego at first, but in reality it’s exactly what he needs: Someone who cares about him and will protect him, while still admiring him. (Plus this scene is cute).

#5. HOW CAN HE SMILE… (MANGA SPOILERS. MASSIVE ONES)

Chapter 210, Joint Training Arc

What Happens: In an effort to piss Deku off and get him to talk, Monoma using Shinso’s power taunts him about Bakugo, saying that Bakugo shouldn’t be able to smile since he destroyed All Might. Deku’s new quirk goes PsychoBerserker out of control in response.

Why I like it: Deku’s power-ups are often connected with Baku in some way. Like many superpowers, OFA seems to be fueled by emotions. So targeting Bakugo brings out Deku’s greatest powers. In this case, though, it’s not a villain trying to hurt him. It’s someone insulting him. And that means Deku will defend Kacchan’s honor and feelings as well as his safety.

#4. I GOT MY QUIRK FROM SOMEONE ELSE

1.08 “Bakugo’s Start Line”

What Happens: Post Battle Trial Arc, Bakugo is in emotional freeful. Deku notices and chases after him, telling him for no goddamn good reason that he has an inherited power. Kacchan doesn’t believe him and instead pours his heart out to him, crying and promising to beat him.

Why I like it: Buncha reasons. 1) Deku ditches all his lovely friends, including Ochaco, to go comfort Kacchan. Even in the same way Ochaco just ditched Kaminari. 2) Deku tells Kacchan about OFA. He won’t tell anyone else, he just decided comforting Kacchan was more important than his entire reason for being here. 3) Kacchan cries in front of Deku and tells him how he feels insecure. He doesn’t do that in front of anyone else. 4) Warm lighting, deep eye contact, and the beginning of a beautiful rivalry.

#3. DEKU AND KACCHAN VS ALL MIGHT

2.24 “Katsuki Bakugo Origin”

What happens: Deku and Kacchan work together to fight AM, after a nasty fight. Deku calls Kacchan out for not being himself. Kacchan sacrifices his body to make sure Deku can escape. Deku socks AM in the face to protect Kacchan. They win.

Why I like it: For a moment that started out so dark (sock to the face), this one gets sweet fast. On Deku’s side: He reprimands Kacchan for not acting like himself, compliments his can-do- attitude, and works together with him, overcoming his fear; he finds the strength to punch AM in the face to save Kacchan, with a callback to ep 2. Kacchan’s strength helps Deku win. On Kacchan’s side: He works with Deku to win, giving him his gauntlet, and sacrifices his safety so Deku can get out, even sounding kinda concerned for him when he gets in danger. They showcase what a great team they could/will make when they work together.

#2. MY LEGS MOVED BEFORE I COULD THINK

Chapter 1/Episode 2: Izuku Midoriya Origin/What it Takes to be a Hero

What happens: Deku, in a fit of depression, sees the monster AM saved him from suffocating some kid. He’s freaking out till he sees that it’s Kacchan. He runs into deadly danger to save Kacchan, inspiring AM to save them both.

Why I like it: Because this moment changed Deku’s entire life and Kacchan’s as well. Deku’s legs ‘move’ before he can think. And it’s explicitly because it’s Kacchan in danger; he doesn’t move until he sees Kacchan’s terrified eyes. Kacchan also shows concern for Deku, telling him to get away (he didn’t say that to the pros trying to save him) so he doesn’t die. This is another scene that follows up on an awful fight between the two, and changes both lives forever. Saving Kacchan gets Deku OFA. Being saved by Deku opens Kacchan to his humility for the first time and stops him from hassling Deku. Plus, just a super-snippy moment to me.

THE BEST:

#1. Deku vs Kacchan Part 2

Chapter 116-121/Episodes 3.22-3.23

“It’s about your quirk…If your way of looking at him was right, does that mean my admiration was wrong?”

“No matter how many times I pushed you away, you always keep coming back!”

“We never talked about our real feelings…”

“Why was I the reason for All Might’s end?”

“The only one who can receive Kacchan’s feelings is me.”

“To me, you were an amazing, inspiring person, who was much closer to me than All Might. That’s why I kept chasing after you” (is it me or does this sound exactly like Hinata’s love confession to Naruto in the Invasion of Pein arc?)

“This is gross, so I can’t tell you, but…you’re my image of victory.”

“If the two of you recognize each other, and honestly raise each other up, you can become the best heroes, who both win and rescue.”

What Happens: Deku and Kacchan tell each other how they really feel. Through a fight because Shonen.

Why I like it: AM himself says it. They’re perfectly matched. They need each other to become the greatest heroes. Kacchan knows he can only talk to Deku about how he’s feeling; nobody else can receive his feelings. Deku loves and admires Kacchan as his friend, not his Great Hero like AM. It’s just perfect.

[burntheupholstery]

just read bnha 285 and wow, bkdk fans really fucking won huh

[simplyfx]

When Katsuki gets a damn undercut, Izuku doesn't know how to deal bc.. how does a haircut cause someone to get /hotter/ ???? *insert Izuku squinty eyes* (also yeye bkdk ftw)

Yesss. That's a given and YESS Bakudeku ftw indeed. Thanks anon

[shipperneko]

Hey wassup cheese bags, Ik I haven’t posted in like…*checks calendar* thirty seven years, but uhhhhhhhh. Katsuki Bakugo rising the episode broke me. I sat and dry sobbed for like an hour. So! With that information I give you the promised of a new fic. My wip novel is crying in the background because I’m stumped currently, but I must write ✨bakudeku✨ for my own mental health and well being. It’s gonna be a river scene post war inspired by-

This post.

So just keep checking in and I’ll scrape up enough mental stability to make it intelligible for you guys 🥲

[shipperneko]

We miss you both.

Come back to us kacchan

[shipperneko]

Okay it happened.

I just had a breakdown. A legit, full, breakdown. The whole kit and caboodle. Can’t breathe, huge tears, hyper ventilating, also do you KNOW how painful it is to just start sobbing while your sick with covid????

I heard about Kacchan calling him “Izuku” when I was sick, and I have THIS HEKIN STUPID HORIKOSHI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING manga leak while I was sick too.

Also my mom comforted me and said that as an author, she knows that this is just a way to rile up fans before something big. Imma trust her.

[shipperneko]

So uhm…I wrote a fic for what happened to Bakugo after he collapsed on the battlefield. It has a few theories in it and it was mainly just a way for me to calm down and get some fluff.

So here you go.

‼️ Manga spoilers ‼️

Note: :0 means a curse word lol

“Kacchan?”

Katsuki felt a small tapping on his shoulder.

“Are you awake?”

Crimson eyes struggled to open, blinking in the sudden bright light that surrounded him.

“Oh good. I was getting worried.”

Bakugo looked around. They were sitting on a large mossy log above a running river. As he glanced to his left, he saw curly green hair perched on top of a chubby, freckled face.

“I-”

He cut him off, hugging him so tightly as if Izuku was the last thing that dwelled in Bakugo’s soul. In fact, maybe he was.

His voice came out raspy and pained. “Am I dead?”

“In a way. Your heart stopped.”

Izuku smiled so that his freckles scrunched up and made Kacchan’s heart flutter.

“But you can come back. I need you.”

The blonde’s eyes welled up with tears. “Is he-I mean you-are you okay?”

“Of course I’m okay, why would you think I wasn’t?” His happy smile came across as morbid and sad.

Without another thought, Katsuki grabbed his hand.

They sat like that for long minutes, fingers interlaced, solemnity weighing the air around them.

“When you go-”

“What do you mean?” His brow furrows. “When I go?”

“Well…yeah. You have to go back.”

“I don’t see why! It’s perfect here. I have you.”

“Katsuki.”

Oh :0. This can’t be good, he thought.

“Right now you’re laying on the ground in the middle of a huge war.”

“So what? They can win without me.”

“And what about me?”

Bakugo threw his arms in the air. “What the :0 are you talking about, Izuku?!”

“I’m not real, and I desperately need your help.”

“Hold on a minute, I asked you if you were okay a while ago!”

“Oh I thought you meant me as in me in your head.”

Bakugo cursed under his breath. “I have to go then.”

“Yes. You do.”

“How?”

“You’ll figure it out. I trust you.”

His grip on Bakugo’s hand tightened.

“He’ll never know this ever happened. Right?”

“Right. Unless you tell him, but knowing you, you never will.”

Deku’s emerald hair bounced in the breeze. With a sudden burst of confidence, he blurted out the words,

“I love you.”

Even this Izuku who didn’t even exist, flushed bright red at the soft words of the boy next to him.

“Promise me something, Kacchan.”

“Anything.”

“Promise me you’ll tell him. After the war is over, after everything is done…tell him. Please.”

His head lowered. “He’ll take it well?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright.”

The blood red sun set in front of them, framed by huge trees. This place, although magnificently beautiful, brought back painful memories.

“I’m so sorry for not taking your hand back when we were kids.”

“That was a long time ago, Kacchan. It’s okay.”

“Time doesn’t erase.”

“But it heals. Scars just show how much we’ve grown, and I think you’ve grown the most out of all of us.”

Katsuki opened his mouth to thank him, when the echoey sound of a voice calling to him reverberated around the false world.

“It’s time.”

“But I-”

“Tell me. Go back and tell me.”

The world dissolved into a blank reddish black right before his eyes. The voices got closer and closer, and his blood began to boil. Literally. Something was happening inside of him. Something new. Was this a quirk awakening? Was this what Izuku had told he’d figure out?

Bakugo didn’t have the answer. All he had was one phrase. One word. The word that had consumed his entire life.

Izuku

Thank you @skelle404 for being my beta ^^ I rlly appreciated it
