#todobaku but not really

[assassyart]

is it getting hot in here

[yah1dka]

in-universe shipping community would definitely pick todobaku over bakudeku.

like

sure we see bkdk interact more, but what was broadcasted for public? tdbk. sports festival (both the first and the third parts have theirs interactions) (yeah, perfect enemies-to-lovers trop), little competition at i-island, their extra classes, them capturing a villain after getting licences and their interview after (although katsuki is cut out from the entire thing, viewers must know he's there and shouto responds that they are friends). there's also their concert, tdbk don't interact, but at this point shipping seed has already been sown, so it already is content for edits. next is their internships with endeavour and, as they're given the same task, i assume that shots of them together are not so hard to get. after the war tdbk become the popular boys together, so that's just another popular trop.

bkdk... well... they're not interacting much in the sports festival, only behind the curtains, which is already not great start cause pairings tend to form early. really together public first sees them at the internships and then in the war. most of their development goes off screen for the in-universe fans.

although everyone who knows bkdk in-person... who am i kidding, everyone who had seen them at least once in real life, knows the truth

I’m in my mha era and sad bc all of my friends think it’s cringe now.😭

Tododeku is my favorite ship for Shouto but Rodydeku is my favorite ship for Izuku and it just feels right.

i think the reason i like todoroki and bakugou's dynamic in pretty much any kind of context is the contrast between their reactions. bakugou is over-the-top all the time, going all-out for absolutely everything, 100% maximum no chill. he's so shit with emotions that everything he feels gets turned into pure rage. he acts like a punk and has no social skills but is extremely strict about things like studying and having a healthy sleep schedule. meanwhile todoroki is also passionate but garbage at expressing his non-anger feelings. he has the vibes and backstory of someone who sits around brooding and thinking deep thoughts but if you zoomed into his head you'd hear shit like "i wonder if you can knit socks for worms".

todoroki has his whole "i'm not here to make friends" thing and then like two weeks later he's convinced that bakugou is his new bestie while bakugou screams at him for daring to breathe in his presence.

it's like having two kittens pushing things off the counter but one if doing it bc he hates you and wants you to suffer and the other is doing it bc he genuinely hasn't figured out that things fall when you push them. they're both so so so stupid and so so so smart and they have a hilarious dynamic as characters. they work together in a way that most of the other characters don't just bc their energies are so completely different and yet the story just keeps shoving them together (like that one drama cd lmao).

also they're just. so weird about each other???? like part of bakugou's post battle trial breakdown was bc he thought todoroki could beat him and then their next interaction is him being pissed that todoroki is paying attention to someone else, followed by him being pissed that todoroki didn't beat him. he's having all this complex emotional turmoil and todoroki's just thinking "ha. eat shit dad". and then they get paired up for the remedial lessons and something in todoroki's brain goes "objective: unlock Friend". and then there's all the shit with enji deciding to maybe try not being a dick so now todoroki is having emotional turmoil while bakugou is thinking "eat shit (directionless)"

and that's about where i stopped reading but i love them so much it's unreal. like this isn't even about them as a romantic ship or anything i just think their interactions are stupendous in general

[elarakive]

thinking about the animatics that i watched 8/7 ish years ago that made me ship bakudeku and kacchako !!!! they still bring me joy every time i watch them like ?! the artists captured their dynamics so well might as well ship them !

Day 9 : Bakugo/Todoroki

Resshi Bakugo-Todoroki

I wanted to give him darker hair but he just looked like Enji >_> them Todo-genes are too strong. I like to think his quirk would be called Combustion, where he can light his entire body on fire because his sweat is essentially an accelerant bc of Bakugo's genes.

You know the fic you're reading is so angsty if you have to take a break and read pure fluff from you're comfort ship from a completely different fandom

[treestargarden]

Cute li'l domestic fluff drabble(ish) with tdbk below the cut

Shouto joins Katsuki in their shared bathroom for their nightly routine. He's wearing Katsuki's black t-shirt with the "aji fry" ramen bowl on the front. His waist-length red and white hair pulled back into a neat braid that Katsuki had done for him so it doesn't get knotted up while they sleep.

He rubs in a facial moisturizer as the only step in his skin routine. Katsuki scowls at his meager skin management. He's always grumbling about how "some of us have to work for great skin," before spitting out his favorite nickname for Sho.

Katsuki scoots over.

They both make enough money that they could have opted for an apartment that had a double sink feature in the bathroom. But they hadn't thought of it. They were just giddy to move in together finally.

Regardless, Shouto is constantly in Katsuki's space, so a double sink may not have even been a useful expenditure. He swipes his toothpaste across his brush and Katsuki snatches the tube from him right after. "You didn't even put enough paste on."

Shouto huffs, so difficult.

Shouto puts his hand out for Katsuki to return the tube back after he loads his own toothbrush, which Katsuki smacks into his hand with derision.

He rolls his eyes as he squeezes more of the paste onto his brush.

Katsuki's voice is muffled by the foam bubbles in his mouth, but Sho always had a good ear for his complaining and assumes he was deriding Sho for putting "too much" paste on this time.

Shouto taps his toothbrush handle against the sink to plop the oversized paste deposit onto the side of the basin.

"I'll clean it!" Shouto quickly offers when he gets a particularly sharp glare from Katsuki.

He pushes the toothpaste and the toothbrush to Katsuki's side of the sink, "You put it on then."

Katsuki's signature scowl graces his face. The wrinkles etching a familiar map across his face. Sho knows he's calling him a spoiled rotten princess in his mind right now.

But he doesn't say a word as his face falls into one of contemplation.

Because Sho was right. Of course nobody could put enough toothpaste on his brush unless they were Bakugou Fuckin' Katsuki.

"Capital F," Katsuki once clarified one day during training when they were still teens.

He returns the brush with a stick-straight arm extended to Sho. And then the familiar twinkle of mischief catches Sho's gray eye that Katsuki knew meant trouble.

Sho leans in and bares his teeth to rub against the toothbrush Katsuki held in his hand.

White foam sprays across the bathroom sink and mirror when Katsuki spits, "I am not going to spoil you that fuckin' rotten, Sho, take the god damned toothbrush!"

So happy to see you getting back into writing! You were one of the first accounts I followed when I got tumblr so I’m glad to see you’re doing better! For the coffee shots, maybe todobaku with hips?? Make sure to stay hydrated and I hope you have a great night!💜

Todoroki was pouting.

One of the struggles of dating Bakugou was that the blonde didn’t give him a lot of physical affection, which would have been fine if not for Todoroki’s now knowing how much good it did him to have that kind of special bonding time with someone. He loved cuddles and kisses and just generally being in the same space as his boyfriend more than was probably normal, but he couldn’t help it.

He tried to respect Bakugou’s boundaries; he knew he didn’t crave physical affection nearly as much, but he felt it wasn’t too much to ask to be allowed to snuggle with him once in a while, at least.

Tonight was one of those nights he really wanted to be affectionate, but Bakugou was lost in his own little world, having just binged an entire season of his latest favorite show in one sitting and now basking in the afterglow.

Todoroki scoffed. Afterglow. He should be basking in mine, not some TV show’s.

“Katsuki,” he tried, “can I snuggle with you?”

It took Bakugou a moment to realize he’d even spoken. “Hm? Oh, yeah, sure. Come here, clingy.”

He could have done without the nickname, but he’d take what he could get. Todoroki shuffled over to his boyfriend and huddled up against his side, relishing the fleeting feeling of Bakugou’s arm around his shoulders.

A moment passed. The blonde was clearly still in his own head.

Todoroki sighed. “You’re not…paying attention to me.”

“Eh?” came the absentminded reply.

That did it.

“I said,” the peppermint boy repeated, reaching over to pinch his boyfriend’s hip, “you’re not paying attention to—”

“H-Hey, stohop that!” Bakugou snorted, shooting his arm down to push him away, a trembling grin on his lips.

Todoroki beamed, his heart leaping in his chest at the sight and sound. Well, if this was how to get him to give him proper attention…

“Why should I? You’ve been ignoring me all day.” Todoroki went back to pinching, chuckling a little himself when Bakugou started to snicker, a smile on his face as he twisted and squirmed. “I let you watch your show, but it’s my turn. I want attention. Get all googly-eyed about me, Katsuki.”

“I’m nohohohot googly-eyed over anythihihing! Gah, you ihihihidiot, quit tihihihihickling me!”

Todoroki instead started squeezing both hips at once, pushing Bakugou over onto his side, relishing in the yelp and laughter that followed. “No way! Now that you’re finally focused on me, I want it to stay that way!”

It wasn’t long before Todoroki found himself getting all kinds of attention after that.

[slicesofapple]

[dailydoseofsnk]

iso new 18+ rp partners!

is anybody on the lookout for new rp partners? <3

18+ only‼️

I typically write on the longer side, but can definitely bring it down to 1-3 paragraphs depending on what you're looking for! I'll write any character, but strictly aged up. I will NOT write minors.

shoot me a message if interested :)

[antisociallilbrat]

I just need to say that the beauty of being a multishipper in the My Hero fandom.

I have read Tododeku and Todomomo fics where Shouto doesn't realize he's dating Izuku/Momo in each respective fic. He'll be months into a relationship with them and finally have the "I think maybe we're more than friends?" moment. Momo/Izuku out here confessing their feelings and it goes right over Shouto's head.

Alternatively I read a Todobaku fic where Bakugou was the one who didn't realize he was dating Shouto. This was also Shouto's fault though bc he just decided him and Bakugou were dating and didn't tell him.

It's beautiful to be a Shouto Todoroki multishipper 🥲

[sunfoxfic]

I'm mostly a Bakudeku girlie but I am a fan of simultaneous Tododeku and Kiribaku because Kirishima and Izuku would just be off planning lil double dates with all the love in their hearts while Todoroki and Bakugou are actively wrestling in the living room. Todoroki isn't even aware that Bakugou is fighting him, he just thinks it was an impromptu training thing.

[supercanaries]

Prompt: That was, by far, the stupidest thing you’ve ever done! Ship: TodoBaku 💥🍰

Todoroki is a very peculiar individual. His expression almost gives nothing away, like, ever. It’s as if he was able to produce invisible ice walls to cover his own emotions as well. At least, that’s how it was a while ago. Now that they’ve spent so much time together – much to Bakugou’s disliking – he has become acquainted with that stupid flat face. In fact, he’s even able to tell, despite the lack of flinching, just by the tiny gleam in Shouto’s eyes, that there’s a mischief lurking there, as he walks towards him along the hallway of the dorms.

Well, screw him, Bakugou’s not in a mood to waste any time. He doesn’t even waver and just continues walking towards his room. That is, until his feet are physically blocked by a layer of ice. It’s so annoying, how quickly it’s making his socks wet. With one stomp of his foot, he breaks it, cold water pooling on the pavement at a slow pace. He turns to that dumbass with the intention of yelling in his face that if he wants a fight, he’ll get one even at the price of damaging school property.

Instead, he finds himself frowning when he sees Shouto’s lips pressed in a flat line, mismatched eyes focused up above, as he moves a branch of ice he created to pull the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling forward, until it’s hovering Bakugou’s head. Red eyes follow the movement with puzzlement and when he looks down again, the stupid asshole is stepping closer.

“What the—” Bakugou begins but he has to trail off when Shouto leans in — freezing fingers wrapping around Bakugou’s wrist, making his skin slippery and cold, which consequently has a shiver run along his spine — and presses a soft, warm kiss on his lips. One that does not feel good at all. It doesn’t.

It lasts just a second before Bakugou feels too heated in the face to allow it. He pushes Shouto away with his free hand, growing only angrier when he sees his stupid mouth dropped by a inch in that so-not-adorable pout of his.

“That was, by far, the stupidest thing you’ve ever done! And you do a lot of stupid.” Bakugou yells at him, unclenching his other hand from Shouto’s gentle hold. “And if you ever, ever, think about doing it again, I will blow your brainless head off your body!”

That’s all he says before he storms off to his room, where he does not, definitely, spend the entire night thinking back to Shouto’s lips against his own, or about the way it would fill to slip his fingers through his stupid soft-looking, half-and-half hair. Ugh.
