Hi! I just wanted to drop a headcannon I'm currently finding motivation to write here because I'm still new on the discord server and stated before that I get panicked easily!
Imagine this: Kariage and Katsuki gave each other promise rings in middle school but they lost contact when Katsuki went to UA... Kariage on the other hand, became a popular singer or something and he has lots of fangirls, but despite that he's still loyal to Katsuki and wants to find him again like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. He wears the promise ring and his fans starts to notice and ofc there are *THOSE* fangirls that try and buy matching ones... What they didn't know was that the promise ring Kariage wore had a vow or sentence that only he and Katsuki knew... Now back to Katsuki, he rarely wears the promise ring but he still kept it and polished it and the only ones who realised that Katsuki was wearing the ring were Momo and Deku but they decided to leave it be
OK, now onto how they're reunited...basically the fangirls are getting wild so Kariage finally revealed that he has a lover but won't say who... So one day he decides to have a little concert at UA because they really need something fun (also because he knew Katsuki was there)... He was allowed a tour in the school and let's say, coincidentally Katsuki walks by and Kariage sees him and he grabs Katsuki and makes him turn towards Kariage so he could see his face... Now, Katsuki wanted to yell at him but then realised it was Kariage so he of course was shocked and said "Holy sh*t- Kariage-?" and then Kariage just smirks and then everyone else is just shocked and Kariage just says "Hello Strawberry" (OK but imagine Strawberry as a nickname because what if Katsuki was a sucker for strawberry flavored things-) and then they kiss in front of everyone and they are just like- so shocked because our local angry Pomeranian??? With famous singer Kariage???
Dadzawa in the bag like: AYO STOP HITTING ON MY PROBL- AYE STOP KISSING-
!!! Omg you’re our newest member?? i think?? Anyways, welcome to the discord server, I hope you like it well <33
As for your little concept - its super cute!! I love thinking of all different types of AUs when it comes to these two, but this one is interesting!! I really do like the concept of Kariage and Katsuki exchanging promise rings (I have a century old concept of Kari proposing to Katsuki at a festival which has been in the works for,,, forever) and the idea of the two of them being in a secret relationship and/or losing contact is!! just!! one of my favorite things to think about, to be honest, because of the sheer amount of possibilities. Especially if you add in some good ol’ Dadzawa, ya feel? 👀
And, the concept of Kari calling Katsuki every type of pet name to show his love and affection? Your Honor, I love them so. Thanks for sending this in!! It gave me just the right amount of serotonin <33
asdfGHJKL??? I?? I CAN’T BELIEVE OMG??
Me, broke: oh yeah, Deku’s kinda neutral towards Kariage, and only a little bit jealous about the fact that despite knowing Katsuki for longer, he’ll never be as close to him as Kariage, who’s only known him a fraction of the time, is. However, because he has a good heart, he’s just happy that Katsuki has a good enough friend to be vulnerable with :)))
You, besoke: Oh No, Deku Is 100% Angry, Bitter, Jealous, And Hateful And Kariage Drinks His Tears Of Agony To Fuel His Possessive, Smug, Egotistical Self >:)))
I am a Fool for believing otherwise asdfghjk
Also???? future tattoo artist Kariage?? I am swooning.
Hc that deku hate undercut-kun with all his guts Because even though he is baku's childhood friend, undercut-kun is closer to baku than he is Undercut-kun knows about this so he will show a lot of affection to bakugou (if baku is okay with it) In front of deku while deku is glaring at him But bakugou doesn't know about any of this
Oh God, I love it so much, it has so many delicious elements - jealous/angry Deku, oblivious Bakugou and possessive/smug Kariage. Amazing.
During Middle School Kariage didn’t really notice anything amiss, him and Katsuki weren’t that keen on PDA or even revealing that they were in a relationship so to everyone else it just seemed like they were friends, not even close friends at that since they kept their distance while in public. Kariage often overheard people call them Katsuki’s followers and he couldn’t help but laugh at the title cause to him it was ridiculous. He couldn’t believe that people were so blinded by the front Katsuki put up that they really thought he couldn’t have any real friends. Ridiculous.
But then Katsuki and he go to separate High Schools - UA for Katsuki, of course, and an art school for Kariage - and the lack of PDA still doesn’t bother them.
Until the Sport’s Festival.
Katsuki got a spare ticket and of course he invited his boyfriend and Kariage was more than happy to watch him fight, he knew his Katsuki would win anyways and he wanted to be there and give him a congratulatory kiss when he did.
After the fights started he decided to leave his seat and go find Katsuki; it’s not like he wasn’t used to sneaking around into places he didn’t belong. He just wanted to wish him luck - not in those words, of course, he’d get his damn face blown off if he ever insinuated Katsuki needed stupid shit like luck.
And soon he found the booth Katsuki was in and he was surrounded by the 1A Class.
When he walked in he first saw Katsuki’s face, that adorable little frown was right in place and everyone seemed to be yelling over each other as they talked, seemingly making some stupid comments towards Katsuki. Kariage had no problem interrupting all that bullshit and calling out his name
And like magic, Katsuki’s frown disappeared and his features calmed down as everyone quieted down and watched as Katsuki turned his head while Kariage walked towards him.
“You’re not supposed to be here, dumbass.”
“Yeah, yeah, as if I care.”
And then he leaned in, placing his hand on Katsuki’s cheek and kissed him.
He was pretty sure someone fell of their seat but Kariage just sat down next to him and placed an arm around his shoulder.
With a glance to the side he noticed a pair of curious green eyes on them, those eyes got filled with something... strange, something a bit more angry, when Kariage squeezed Katsuki closer to his side.
Kariage smirked.
Interesting.
It seemed as if after that Kariage saw Midoriya everywhere, he was almost concerned with how frequently he and Katsuki ran into him but he thought nothing of it. He was too busy pulling Katsuki closer and kissing him and revelling in the look of fury crossing Midoriya’s features whenever they saw him, after all.
It was exhilirating. It honestly did wonders for his ego, the fact that this sweet kid was angry that his childhood friend, the most explosive and stubborn person known to man, was letting himself be soft with someone that he’d only known half the amount of years he’d known Midoriya.
Soon he started to make sure Katsuki had his marks on him too, his neck and chest were always covered in hickeys, insuring that everyone, especially Midoriya, will know he’s spoken for.
Once they moved into the dorms (and Kariage stopped panicking whenever he didn’t see Katsuki for more than a day) it was harder for them to see each other but luckily Katsuki managed to get permission to both leave the dorms and have Kariage come visit him.
And so Kariage got the absolute pleasure of talking Katsuki into joining a movie night - a thing he’d never joined before - with minimal grumbling and then they took up a corner of the couch where Katsuki practically sat in his lap during the whole thing before finally falling asleep on his chest, his hand gripping Kariage’s hoodie and his face lax and completely calm; beautiful as always.
He looked up at that moment, watching as Midoriya lifted his jealous gaze from Katsuki’s face to Kariage’s. And as their eyes met Kariage smirked, leaning in close and pressing a kiss to Katsuki’s forehead before he winked.
He had to bite his lip to hold in a burst of laughter at the expression on Midoriya’s face.
Fucking amazing.
ed sheeran’s “i don’t care” feels like a song that fits bakugou and kariage perfectly. like,,, it could be baku to kari or the other way around and it’d still make sense
asdfghjk oh my?? oh my gosh, you’re right?? im?? like you said, the lyrics could go both ways and still make complete sense???
Then you take my hand / Finish my drink, say, “Shall we dance?” (Hell, yeah) just spells out Kariage being a smug asshole wanting to show off Katsuki.
You know I love you, did I ever tell ‘ya? feels so Katsuki to me?? like, we all know he says things more with actions than words, but I feel like, if he were ever to get into a relationship, he’d wanna make sure his partner knows what he feels. I mean, Katsuki could be really insecure, I think, and he wouldn’t want people interpreting his feelings wrong, so he’d do his best to show what he means outright.
I always feel like I’m nobody, mmm / Who wants to fit in anyways? is one of those lines that just fits for both of them, y’know? Like, Katsuki is very prideful and says that he’s one of the strongest, but I think, especially post-Sludge Villain, post-Sports Festival, and post-Kamino/kidnapping, he’d have some second thoughts. However, like always, he’d bounce back - he’d see those comments about him being villainous when he shouts and curses, and probably does it twofold, because who wants to be a cookie cutter hero?
With Kariage, I think when he was younger, he was told that he’d never be anything special with a relatively weak Quirk like Smoke, but after befriending Katsuki and realizing that people don’t know shit, he’d pursue his dream of being a Hero regardless of the criticism.
‘Cause I don’t care when I’m with my baby, yeah / All the bad things disappear / And you’re making me feel like maybe I am somebody is just so sweet?? Like, we’ve established that Kariage’s home situation is, like, bad, and the only good thing that came from it was his baby sister. However, just thinking about the fact that Katsuki makes him feel like he could be something greater than an abused kid from the slums makes me so soft.
And?? Katsuki feeling safe around Kariage because he’s one of the few people he knows will never expose his secrets or call him a villain or think him an irredeemable monster?? Katsuki knowing Kariage sees past his abrasive exterior and loves him to his core?? Katsuki loving the fact that Kariage will never expect him to change the way he is, and loves him for who he truly is?? Immaculate.
I can deal with the bad nights / When I’m with my baby, yeah just gives me the uwu’s. Like, imagine: it’s one of the many cold, rainy nights that Kariage has come to the Bakugou’s home, sporting busted lips, a bloody nose, or bruised cheeks, with Kanji huddling for warmth under his sopping wet hoodie. Katsuki doesn’t even have to ask about what happened, already knows about his deadbeat dad and alcoholic mom, he just invites the siblings in. He makes them a hot meal, and when they cuddle up together under the covers, things aren’t perfect, but they’re better.
And Katsuki?? I’m just tearfully thinking about him waking from one of his many nightmares (sludge, muzzle, death, fear, hurt, villain) and his first instinct is to call up Kariage. Maybe they don’t even talk, but Katsuki can always fall back asleep to the sound of Kariage breathing, safe, alive. He doesn’t get nightmares the rest of the night.
lastly: ‘Cause I don’t care as long as you just hold me near / You can take me anywhere / And you’re making me feel like I’m loved by somebody - these lines have so much potential?? Like, it shows how much trust they’d have in each other, especially Katsuki trusting in Kariage?? Because, I mean, Katsuki thrives off being in control of any given situation - as soon as that control begins to slip, he starts feeling at a loss - so Katsuki trusting Kariage enough that he’d let the boy take him anywhere, surprise him with anything?? Perfection.
And, Kariage finally being loved by someone who doesn’t have to love him?? I mean, his parents are shitty, and kids like Kanji love anyone who loves them, so having Katsuki - someone who doesn’t owe Kariage anything - love him is amazing.
Gosh, I really spent like two hours analyzing these lyrics, didn’t I? Anyways, this was fun!! I know you didn’t ask for this, but I’m really hoping you like this bcuz personally, I lowkey teared up at the possibilities <33
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:
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 ]
Hey, you guys!! Just a little announcement to everyone: @arschemy, @pichu-perfect, @radrosesxx, Theo, and I created a KariBaku Discord Server!! If you wanna join, please do, we’d love to see you there!! <33
https://discord.gg/gUZafvz
asdfghjk!! Gab!!! Hello, yes, I literally love this!! OMG the fact that you literally wrote this just to gift it to the fellow Kariage/Bakugou shippers? You’re a literal angel and I love you so much for this <33 Like, the writing?? It’s just so soft?? Kariage out of the blue just: I’m proud of you. Like, bitch, I’m so soft right now?? The little bits that detail how far both of them have gotten and how they’re much better people?? Everything is literal perfection!!
“I’m proud of you too,” Katsuki declares as he slowly spins to face the other, placing his hands on Kariage’s shoulders.
Kariage hums while brushing a stand of wayward hair, knowing exactly what Katsuki was thinking about, “I’m proud of us.”
Or, Kariage and Bakugou thinks back on their pasts and how they’ve changed for the better.
Posted another fic of Kariage (Undercut-kun) and Bakugou!
Introducing the entirety of the Katsucrew at long last!!
From left to right we have -
Daikikou Seika, the sweetheart and resident fashion disaster of the group. She’s a bit soft spoken but with a surprisingly willful side to her, and she loves taking care of her army of plants and reading from her many books.
Kate Mito, the mechanics-obsessed trouble-maker of the crew. She’s a very candid girl who expresses her feelings freely, and she’ll rant for hours about her ideas and theories to anyone willing to sit down and listen.
Agei Ashikari, or Kariage, the very reason the trope of bad boy with a heart of gold exists. He’s understanding to a fault and cares deeply, always willing to defend his friends or cheer them up with a ride through town.
Bakugou Katsuki, the center of this motley crew. Somehow, even as a bratty kid with a million and one complexes, he ended up with the most amazing group of friends and all it took was a few months of badgering and friendship rituals.
Agei Kanji, the absolute baby of the group and favorite of them all. She’s sweet and kind, quick to comfort and unfailingly hilarious, an amalgamation of all the best traits of the group, who she all views as her honorary siblings.
Shioawa Henshuu, the most feral of the the group under her deceptively disarming guise. Both driven and gentle, she knows every way to topple someone down and then how to pull them back up with a helping hand.
Obuki Hifue, the perpetually exhausted mother hen of the squad. She’s quiet to a point, but around her friends she smiles brighter than the sun and works hard to make sure they take care of themselves, lest she get personally involved.
Dehisa Yasushi, the laid-back older brother figure of the squad. He’s relatively chill most of the time, only really getting hyped over video games, but he’s always down to have a good time with his friends, whether it’s legal or not.
I should say though, that I’ve also decided that Family by Mother Mother is the theme song of the Katsucrew. Give it a listen if you haven’t already - it matches this squad of hell-raisers perfectly.
i can’t stop thinking of your analysis of “i don’t care” and bakugou/kariage😭 it was so good!!! and i wanna draw smth for it! thank you so much for blessing us with it!!!!💖💖💖
asdFGHJKL omg that analysis was so fun to do, I really loved doing it, to be honest!! but?? OMG, if you draw something for it, Id literally die with happiness, and that’s not an exaggeration <33
Warning(s): Kidnapping, Emotional Manipulation, Non-con Drugging, Disassociation, Heavily Implied Physical Abuse, Dub-con Kissing and Non-sexual Touching, and, of course, Villain Kariage!!
