Dude is that your art??? Holy shit it is so good!!!
Thank you so much!! And, yup yup!! I actually drew it awhile ago - about three months ago, I think!!
It’s the concept art for one of the fics I have on the backburner for now, since I’ve very currently obsessed with KariBaku and the Katsucrew: it’s basically a retelling of BNHA, if Katsuki was the biological child of Miruko, Burnin’, and Endeavor through some various Quirk shenanigans. Pretty major themes included Bunny Katsuki and all that entails, Endeavor being a decent dad way before canon with a side of chaotic Katsuki + Todoroki siblings interactions, and just general Quirk and fanfiction fuckery, to be honest!! gdshjsdfhgfhdj
I’m happy you liked my Bunkugou!! <33
Here’s my first artwork for the Undercut-verse!! It took awhile only because of the sheer complexity of Seika’s character design (i.e. the patterns and her facial features), so hopefully I’ll be able to design the rest of the Katsucrew girls faster!
It might take me a bit to draw Kariage and Yasushi, mainly because I have difficulty drawing males, but the whole crew will be done eventually! Seika’s character profile is also going to be the next one I’m going to post!!
In comparison to how she was drawn in the anime:
okay but consider,,,,
kariage and bakugou haven’t talked in a long time. after katsuki went to UA they lost contact and stopped talking to each other even though they were best friends. until one day katsuki is out with the bakusquad plus the rest of 1A. they’re at the mall just looking around having a fun time. until someone pushed bakugo. they were just messing around but he got caught off balance and fell. and landed in someone’s arms. he looks up and sees kariage who has changed so much but is still the same old bad boy he definitely didn’t have a crush on. but he caught him like his knight in shining armor.
“guess you’ve fallen for me huh”
and all katsuki can do is blush while he stares at those dark brown eyes that used to be so familiar.
If you guys catch me replying to asks like a month late, no you didn’t <33 No, but, for real, I love this. Like, Katsuki and Kariage losing contact despite being best friends is just so sad and real, because you know it had to have affected Katsuki a lot. After all, they’d been friends since they were kids, add Katsuki’s obvious need for affection and desire to be understood onto that and Katsuki’s probably feeling pretty shitty. But, since there’s no way to get back into contact with Kari, he’s left feeling so lonely, not that he’d ever willingly admit it. And, on some random day, he’s out with the idiot brigade and the rest of his loser class at the mall. And, like always, they’re always so touchy-feely. He doesn’t understand how they could just poke and nudge and shove at each other so easily when touch, for Katsuki, hasn’t felt right in a whole year. Hasn’t felt good or safe and warm, which is why he dodges, ducks, bends away from the wayward, wandering hands of his classmates. And, then, out of nowhere, Shitty Hair knocks into him. Katsuki knows immediately that it wasn’t purposeful - unlike the other idiots, Kirishima knows to respect his boundaries, and he doesn’t go out of his way to tease and touch him when Katsuki obviously doesn’t want it - because Shitty Hair jolts away right after and opens his mouth to apologize. It doesn’t matter, though, because Katsuki’s already tripped forward and he’s falling and -
Someone catches him.
It wasn’t necessary, of course. Katsuki’s a Hero-in-training, he would’ve easily been able to regain his own balance if some random stranger wasn’t there to grab onto his waist and steady him. So, Katsuki straightens and looks up, already preparing to step back and put space between himself and the hands on him, and stops.
Because the person who caught Katsuki isn’t a stranger, and the feeling of the not-stranger’s hands on him suddenly don’t make him feel like bugs are crawling under the surface of his skin, doesn’t make him feel cold, doesn’t make him feel wrong. No, the touch feels nice, and the sheer surprise of that is what makes Katsuki stutter when he blurts out the name of the not-stranger, who’s hands are gripping him protectively: “K - Kariage?”
Kariage, the boy Katsuki used to visit arcades with, used to tell off for his nasty smoking habit, used to laugh with, used to love. Kariage, smelling of smoke and leather and the cheap vanilla cologne he used to wear back in middle school, with his messy undercut and pierced ears and half-lidded eyes, caught Katsuki. He grins down at the blond-haired boy, smug in a way Katsuki has missed, and huffs out a short laugh.
“Guess ya fell for me, huh?” he teases, dark eyes sparkling with mirth, and Katsuki can do nothing but fall in love all over again.
Wait, you said that you will write your verse. Will you write it here and/or in the other platform? Like ao3? I'm kinda confused:o But, btw, I love your verse. I ship undercut-kun with Katsuki since day one but can't find much about them:(
asdfghj I’m so happy that this ‘verse is so loved!! I’ll be posting the series on AO3!! I’m not certain when the first part will be up, especially since school is really kicking my ass this week, but I’m hoping to finish the test fic (the Fantasy AU) by next week, fingers crossed!! <33
asdfghjk Gab, you’re an actual godsend for writing this, I literally have no words to express my love excepting screaming into the void, because this is simply too amazing for my mortal mind to comprehend <33
📁 do you have any more Undercut-kun stuff 🥺🥺
ya’ll it’s time for the love of my life, undercut-kun and tiny waist appreciation.
During Kariage (undercut-kun) and Bakugou’s middle school years, the hero in training could always be seen wearing baggy clothes, so they and consequently Kariage never saw Bakugou’s waist.
But, when Bakugou’s finally in his second year at U.A. and was more comfortable with everyone in the class, especially Kariage now that they’re officially together after years of pining. Bakugou starts wearing more crop tops and generally loose and short shirts for training because that’s what he always wore when he trains alone.
Yeah, abs, slim waist, crop tops, and Bakugou Katsuki? Everyone’s fucked.
The first time Kariage saw Bakugou like that was a week after they got together with Bakugou barging in the other’s room after a work out in a crop top and leggings. Kariage with a Not-So-Subtle-Tiny-Waist-Kink, shuts down. He accidentally drops the water he was holding and Cannot answer Bakugou when he asks why because “fuck I was too busy staring at your waist hitting all the right points for me fuck wait-”
They were supposed to study that night but well, Kariage thought of other things to do. (With minimal complaints from the other.)
After that, Bakugou never figures out why but Kariage always makes a point to hug him from behind and see the way his hands touch while wrapped around Bakugou’s waist. Also the fact that he could basically rest his chin on top of Bakugou’s head because of their size difference, especially in the shoulders because Bakugou may have muscle (i would kill for his biceps) but he’s small while Kariage is broad.
Now, Kariage is a functional gay, so he never thought tiny waists does it for him but apparently that’s his type and Bakugou simply exists.
[ i’ll make a bakubowl part 2 of this later, i WILL write, credits to @radrosesxx and @hitheryon for helping me with this ]
Ooh, okay so it’s been a good. Three months since I’ve posted anything haha whoops. Anyways, I’m just posting this to let everyone (who’re not in the server) that I’m still alive - I just have not been very active. Yikes.
Yeah, so my lack of activity is mostly because my work schedule kind of ramped up and my diploma work has gotten increasingly more difficult (sigh). My computer, which is what I use 99% of the time to write with, also broke and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get it fixed. In the time since I haven’t posted, my adoration for both KariBaku and the Katsucrew waned enough that it went on the backburner of my interests, especially since I got super into Attack on Titan for a good while (still am, to be honest).
However!! I’ve recently (aka like. two days ago) reawakened my obsession with this little ‘verse of mine so!! I’m not gonna make any promises about how much I’ll post, or when I can finally get around to actually fleshing out my fics, but I’ll be answering ALL of the asks I have in my inbox (some that’ve been there for months, sheesh) and I’ll be making attempts at posting more, including some of the backlog of drafts I have!!
So, yeah, in summary: I love each and every one of you guys for putting up with my lack of posting and lapse of interest <33
sdfGHDJFKL NEW KARIBAKU JUST DROPPED!?!?!?
Okay, wait I’m just,, please the energy in this 🥺 I don’t know how to quite explain but It Soft, you feel?? Just,,, Kari sleeping so deeply and Katsuki reaching out to wake him up but like,, there is just this Moment, where the light shines just right, and he can hear every one of Kariage’s deep, even breaths, and Katsuki’s hand is just hovering, outstretched because it feels like he can’t move and there’s this weight on his chest, heavy and warm and alive and!!
Wait, I’m so in love pls 😭😭😭
(KariBaku) After Class
!!! Hi, yes, I’d like to establish that Kari calling Katsuki any and all petnames currently occupies every braincell I have to spare. Like, the concept of Katsuki, someone most people see as this tough, uber masculine guy just absolutely melting at being called baby and honey, and angel? It’s perfect, it’s literally so freaking amazing and I love it.
And, I absolutely adore how no one says a thing about it. They hear Katsuki be called these sugar sweet terms of endearment and immediately wanna tease him, but then, they see him smile? They see him blush bright red and look away shyly with a small, cute smile and gently shove and Kariage, and he’s looks so happy. Aizawa and the Bakusquad can’t find it in themselves to take that away, and I love that.
Because, with all the shit Katsuki’s had to deal with and been put through, all the pain and shame and hurt, he deserves everything good. And, if a little petname or two make him happy then that’s perfectly okay.
Hey, I hope school gets better for you, soon! I can definitely relate to the stress and it sucks that you have to deal with that >:( Regardless, I got a headcanon for Kariage, if that's cool! Personally, he gives me the vibe of someone who uses a million and one petnames for his partner, and Baku would 100% be subject to this. I just find it so cute to think about how Baku would react to all the cutesy nicknames and how *others*, like the Bakusquad and Aizawa, would react to them as well! :)
Thank you!! It’s a bit of a struggle now as I’m trying to get into the swing of things once again after months of not attending Uni, plus I have a few scripts to write, some shit to direct, etc. but I’ll figure it out!!
Also!! Yes! I totally agree.
He just has that energy of someone who’s incredibly cocky, very confident and likes to tease and toy with people, that’s the reason he first uses pet-names, he just likes the way it makes Katsuki stutter and blush and tell him to fuck off.
But then, once they get together, he does it because he knows fine well how much Katsuki loves it. He knows because he’s seen that soft little smile that appears on Katsuki’s face whenever he calls him anything remotely sweet.
So he calls him baby, sweetheart, angel, anything and everything he can think of, just to get Katsuki to smile at him like that.
And I think that the first time the class/Aizawa hear Kariage call him pet-names they’re so damn ready to tease him. They’re already thinking of what they’re going to say at him, a lot of them are a few seconds away from laughing at the scene. But then they see the way Katsuki reacts, the smile, the blush, the way he looks down at the floor and bites his lip and slaps Kariage’s shoulder, the taller boy just looking down at him and smiling all proud and smug, and suddenly they have nothing to say. They know that if they say anything, if they do something awful as laugh, it would affect Katsuki, it would make him feel embarrassed and ashamed of liking something as sweet and soft as pet-names. So they keep their mouths shut and pretend they didn’t hear or see anything.
💕 bunkugou 💕
asdfghjkl I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really have words to describe how much I freaking love this. Like, I knew distantly that you were writing a fic, but I was not prepared for the greatness you wrote. I actually cried, literal tears fell out my eyes, I was this close to sobbing. You’re writing style fit so freaking well for this story, and it just tied everything together in a prefect little package.
The part where Katsuki begins to worry about whether Kariage would want to stay with him - an embarrassment, a wild animal, a villain - and everything after practically tore my heart to shreds. How you describe Katsuki walking home after the festival, hiding to keep people from seeing his face was absolutely heartbreaking. The way Katsuki acknowledges that baths make him feel good enough that Kariage gave him stuff to make him happy, but thinks that he doesn’t deserve something like that after the Sports Festival, instead taking a shower so cold it piractically hurts? That’s where I really started to cry.
And, when he curls up with Kariage in bed and just starts sobbing? Yeah, I got shivers reading it. And, the atmosphere of the story when Kariage is comforting Katsuki felt so real, so personal, that I actually had to take a break in reading becuase I was feeling it. Feeling the hurt and desperation and love and validation, and, yeah, by the end of it I was full out sobbing. It was absolutely perfect, and I’m so freaking thankful that you decided to share it, because it was simply amazing. <33

“You hurt, baby?”
The concern in Kariage’s voice nearly made his knees buckle. It wasn’t what he expected, it wasn’t what he deserved. Kariage shouldn’t worry about him; if he was hurting it was his own fault, his own weakness which caused it.
It was fine, he was fine.
But Kariage was looking at him in that knowing way he always wore whenever Katsuki didn’t voice his true feelings, brows furrowed and dark eyes sparkling in the room as he trailed his gaze over Katsuki’s face, hands still cupping his cheeks and the scent of cigarettes, leather and vanilla encompassing his senses.
Or:
The Sports Festival happens and Katsuki is falling apart.
Based on a hc I posted a while ago. I thought it was a sweet idea and wanted to write a full one-shot, the first in a series I’m planning on writing. Hope you like it!
slams head into table repeatedly Oh my gOD??? I just,, I’m,, I’m love.
Like, hello? The concept of Kari not really caring about losing his Quirk cuz it only really fucked him up and he only ever wanted to go to art school?? Interesting, and I am so intrigued about the idea of people not really feeling like their Quirk is integral to their existence and people who don’t feel lost when they lose their Quirk. But!! The fact that Kari thinks only of Katsuki after is just,, immaculate.
Kari being scared that Katsuki won’t accept his little crush now that he’s Quirkless is just so 😭 please I’m so sad. But then!! He’s just so desperate that he takes a chance and I am just clutches chest dramatically swooning over how Katsuki so readily accepts him because he doesn’t care.
Kari is Kari, Quirk or not.
And, ugh, the absolute flavor of having the Bakusquad being utter assholes? Delicious, even more so since Katsuki is actually, reasonably mad at them. But the moment he just drops his squad because they fucked around too much and messed with shit they shouldn’t even touch? Very sexy for him to ditch them, in my honest opinion 😌
Headcanon that bakugou dates someone quirkless and everyone is super confused but also invested. There are bets and private group chats and someone has done a background check on them. Someone definitely tried to check BK for any type of manipulation. (That poor soul is no longer with us).
I’m going to go and make this Karibaku, if that’s alright.
Okay, so.
Imagine if Kariage lives in a really rough neighbourhood, so he’s always been around illegal substances and black-market quirk-related content. And then he hears talk of bullets that can erase quirks, apparently they’ve started circulating around the villain communities, but they’re incredibly rare and have barely been used.
But then, one night, he’s walking home from Katsuki’s place, it’s the weekend and so he finally got the chance to go see him again since Kat is always busy at UA, and before he knows it he hears fighting in an alley, and just as he’s about to rush by the entrance to it, he hears a gunshot and suddenly there’s pain in his leg. A stray bullet.
It’s all a little bit blurry after that.
Before he knows it, he’s in the hospital and he’s being told his quirk is gone.
Fine. Whatever. He wasn’t using it anyways since he was going to art school and it was only making his goddamn asthma worse.
But fuck.
Katsuki.
Now, he knew the blond wasn’t the way he used to be in middle school, he knew that his opinions on quirkless people used to be complicated and had since changed. But he just couldn’t get the damn thought out of his head, what if he had lost his chance before he even got to try and make it work with his friend?
He’d had a pathetic crush on him since Middle School. Katsuki knew about it, he was sure of it. They’d been dancing around each other for years.
And now... he didn’t know if the dance would continue.
He didn’t know if Katsuki would want him now that he’s... well, useless.
But then, the next day, Katsuki is right there by his side, holding his hand all the while he’s calling him an idiot for not being more careful.
Kariage pulls him in and kisses him before Katsuki manages to get himself kicked out.
After that, they officially starts dating.
The last thing he expected was for Katsuki to become increasingly more and more pissed off as they got further into the relationship.
At first, he figured he was the problem, maybe he’d done something.
But soon Katsuki told him.
“Told those stupid fuckers I was dating ya a while back cause they kept asking who I was talking to. They asked if you’re in the hero course and when I said no they asked if you have a weak quirk or something, I said you’re quirkless. They’ve been fuckin’ placing bets on how long it’s gonna take for me to dump you cause of it and shit.”
Kariage just shrugs and pulls him in, kissing him and hugging him until he finally calmed down.
A few days later, though, he gets a message on his IG.
After a short chat, they finally end up asking the question they’ve clearly been meaning to ask, “so, how did you get Blasty to date you? What did you do to him?”
The moment Kariage texts Katsuki about what had happened, his boyfriend is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.
Only then does he find out the lack of faith his friends have in him, the doubts and the judgement.
Whatever. He doesn’t need those fuckers.
All he needs is Kariage. And he has him - quirk or not.
