"The future is wide and wild and full of promise, but it is precarious, too. Seize on every opportunity that comes your way and cling to it, lest it be washed back out to sea."
M.L. Rio "If We Were Villains"
gonna start being like luna lovegood in mindset. she believed in things that majority found absolutely outrageous and when laughed at and confronted with skepticism she was so genuinely confused and almost concerned for her BULLIES well-being cause?? ofc nargles are real and you should know this silly! and then just went on with her day. she is truly unshakeable in her belief and we could all take a page out of her book.
“katsuki,” you look down. “you’ll never guess what i found out at work.” katsuki looks up, lifting his head from where he laid on your chest to show an adorably comedic shift in his hair.
“hm, what happened, baby?”
“i haven’t been able to work as much hours because my manager thinks i’m not fit for the job.”
now katsuki fully lifts himself up, supporting himself on his forearms to face you with a frown on his lips. “the one with cat whiskers for a mustache?” you nod, lips wavering and tempted to let out a giggle at the comparison.
“that little bitch-ass. say the word and i’ll deal with him.” you’re laughing until you realize how serious your boyfriend is, a stern look adorning his features without a hint of humor in sight. “oh? you’re—“
“just say it, i’m serious.” it’s almost as if he’s begging you to say it, red eyes hardening with every passing minute at the infuriating thought of your manager. “mhm, and i was serious when i said that i’d never say it. can’t have you going to jail for me.”
your tone seems to lighten the atmosphere, a smirk shared between you two as katsuki lowers himself but with his chin hooked on your shoulder. “oh, the things i’d do for you,” he pauses, his lips catch onto the shell of your ear, his voice lowering to a whisper.
“quit your job. you know i’ll take care of you, baby.”
saying goodbye to bakugou before leaving on a mission.
giving your long term boyfriend and partner in the hero field a temporary goodbye was never going to be easy. especially when he was just as hesitant to see you off as you were to leave.
“listen, katsuki… i’ll be fine. we’ll text and call every day. trust me, i hate this as much as you do.” you gently placed your hands on either side of his face, feeling the smooth skin of his cheeks underneath your fingertips.
red eyes looked down at you. to a random passerby it would look like he was glaring at you with a gaze full of anger. it was anything but. that look was reserved for you and only you. it was a look full of sincerity, adoration and frustration. eyes that had seen gruesome sights, had seen a countless amount of tragedies but were still able to peer down at you with such an overwhelming amount of love.
his hand lifted to rest atop yours. “i know.. fuck. they coulda sent any hero t’ help with this mission! ‘course it had to be you. always gettin’ the short end of the stick.” his fingers entertwined with yours, bringing your smaller hand to his chest.
you gave him a small smile, squeezing his hand. “no one else has a quirk better suited for this mission than me. i have to do this, kats.” the look that he gave you told you he understood perfectly that this had to be done, he just wasn’t quite ready to accept it.
the distant sound of the subway train could be heard and you huffed a sigh, reluctantly letting go of the blonde’s hand and dropping your hands back to your side. you took a few steps back from him and pat down your shirt — a feeble attempt to discreetly wipe away the sweat that had formed on your palms due to the anxiety.
“(y/n). stay safe, for the love of fuckin’ god, you better stay safe. even if your pride or dignity is on the line, don’t you dare give up. stay strong and fight ‘till the end. got it?” his gaze was hooked onto you, desperately clinging onto the sight of your form. onto the perfume you used on the daily, onto the little fidgets you would do. he would rather die than forget a single thing about you.
you sent him a smirk, playfully rolling your eyes. “oh come on, i’m not like you! pride doesn’t mean everything to me. i wouldn’t die for something as silly as pride or dignity.”
bakugou scoffed at your words while crossing his arms that he toned to perfection over the years. “oh yeah? then tell me, what is it that a woman like you would die for? huh?”
your eyes drifted to the side before returning to meet his gaze. slowly, you lifted your arm to point right at him. the train sped past right at that very moment, causing the noise of metal rattling to fill the air and causing the both of your hair to fly freely.
red eyes widened slightly, never once breaking eye contact. before he could speak, a soft laugh left your lips. “just pointing at some dirt in your hair. lemme get it out.”
you stepped towards him, lifting your arm to pick at the imaginary dirt. not even giving you time to react, bakugou circled his arms around your waist and pulled you in for a kiss. a kiss which said a thousand words a second, all of the words the both of you couldn’t get out were said in that very moment. the words left unsaid.
reluctantly, he pulled away and rested his forehead against yours. “come back to me. i don’t care how long it fuckin’ takes, just come back home.”
you pecked his lips once more and stepped away, backing towards the train doors. “i promise i’ll come back to you no matter what. see you later, katsuki.”
bakugou held himself back from sprinting to you, wrapping you in his arms, and bringing you back to your shared house. “better not break that promise or there’ll be hell ta’ pay. see you, (y/n).”
i keep going back to this thought of like adult, pro-hero, brick-wall-of-a-man bakugou still being just so insecure. like he works hard for his body and he's not stupid, he knows that it's strong and is what it needs to be for his line of work, for being a pro, for protecting those that he loves—but he's always had an issue with...people.
yeah, as an older man, that's fallen away some and he's learned to let go of all the little battles he wants to start, how to ignore challenges that aren't there, but he's still bakugou, and people have this perception of him and his personality and attitude and he knows it's not unfounded, but...what good is there to say about him, really? that he's got a fit body? big fucking whoop.
a hot body isn't what's gonna keep you around.
and it's frustrating, because you smile at him and laugh at the shitty things he says and you forgive him, even when he can't apologize, and you understand the space he just needs sometimes. there are days when he wants to sleep alone because he'd done it all of his life, until you came around, and there are days he doesn't want to speak—to you or anybody—because every little thing is grating on his nerves, there are days when he wants to get out of the house and fuck off to hike, somewhere far without cell service, and only come back once he's sweaty and tired and in need of a shower.
and that's—he's not stupid. who wants to put up with that? him, and all that he entails? all you have to just accept, because he doesn't know how to change it.
it's not as if he doesn't want to spend time with you; some days that's all he wants. your attention, your touch, your little affections, your approval. a reminder that you do still love him, even after everything, and yeah, you say it every night and every morning and before you hang up the phone, but—what about all the times in between? even when he wants to be alone, he still thinks about you, too much maybe, for how much space he's willingly created for himself.
the face you make when you eat something too soon from the oven or when you pretend not to cry at some stupid movie. the shirt you wore last thursday and how well the color looked against your skin. how warm you are first thing in the morning, when he rolls over to make sure you're still there. what you smell like right out of the shower—do you smell like him, on the days you wear his shirts out of the house? does it make you think about him, too, all day? do you even like the way he smells or the way he dresses? how he cuts his hair or the shoes he wears on casual days, when he doesn't have to go work and he's not having dinner with his witch of a mother?
you're...attracted to him. right? gotta be, because if you aren't then all you have is his personality and that—there's just no fucking way. you've gotta be, because you kiss him and touch him and bother him in the shower and sometimes he looks at you across the table and you're giving him this look that drives him fucking crazy and—he's just bad at asking for things, for anything. 'specially for you.
sometimes you make him feel like a virgin fucking schoolboy, that doesn't know how to touch or be touched and so he does petty shit, little things that are supposed to drive you crazy, too. not like he really knows for sure, because the minute you look too long when he's shirtless, he wants to launch his own embarrassing ass off a cliff. he'll never admit to it, but yeah, he eats strawberries that way on purpose, messy while watching you, and he stands at the edge of your bed in a low-slung towel until he's nearly dry, just furthering some mindless conversation so that you'll stay awake and looking at him. when he's at the gym, he'll send a snapchat he took way too long posing for, just to respond with a "yeah", or he'll pretend he doesn't know why it's a big deal that he decided to forgo boxer briefs under his sweatpants.
bakugou wants to be wanted, but he doesn't know how to make himself worth wanting, and doesn't know how to ask either—but he's learning; placing his face between your shoulderblades when he wants you to turn to him in bed, resting his forehead on your knee when he's sorry and can't say why, drawing a heart on a sticky note, quick and shitty, before he has time to get embarrassed, nipping at the skin under your earlobe when he wants you, the blush on his cheeks probably searing into the skin of your neck.
insecure but trying, trusting. isn't that what love is anyway?
you and bakugou stride through the halls of UA, hand in hand. it’s silent, people are parting like the red sea with jaws unhinged and eyes the size of saucers and the occasional whisper is shut down by a glare from your boyfriend.
“they’re staring at us…”
“no shit.”
“shut the fuck up,” you quip, glaring at him. he just grins down at you and someone gasps at the sight of bakugou katsuki smiling at someone.
the cafeteria doors swing open and you both stand for a moment, looking to see your friends waving you both over, but they stop for a moment and stare. then they all start hitting each other to look at the both of you.
you raise a brow at bakugou, and he shrugs.
“you didn’t tell them?”
“thought they would’ve figured it out by now, but i guess not.”
a deadpan look crosses over your face, but you start tugging bakugou over to your shared friends. you catch a glimpse of monoma out of the corner of your eye… along with the middle finger bakugou’s flashes him.
“what?”
“hooligan.”
Bakugou x reader
warnings: none, thunderstorms lol.
a/n: Just a lil something based on my adventures last night haha
The first crackle of thunder sounds throughout the house and Katsuki takes the headphones off his ears and pauses his game. He stares at the door to the game room with a tiny smirk.
“Yo Blasty, you good over there? Why are we paused?” Denki says over the headset.
“Just gimme a damn second Sparky. I’m waiting on somethin’,” he says, eyes still locked on the closed door.
Lightning lights up the sky a few minutes later and right after, a large crack of thunder shakes the house so much Katsuki winces slightly. His smile widens as he hears the commotion in the house.
A door being wrenched open, a pair of soft stomps getting closer to the game room door and then finally, the door bursting open to show a very terrified you standing in the doorway looking at Katsuki with wide eyes and your hands cupped over your ears.
“Ahh there she is,” Katsuki says, chuckling to himself. He holds a hand out to you and very quickly you tiptoe over to him, grab his hand and slip onto his lap to bury your face in his neck.
“What’s going on man, you good?” It’s Kirishima’s voice this time, a hint of worry in his voice.
“Tsk, yeah I’m good. Will just have a guest with me for the rest of the time we’re playin’,” he says, wrapping an arm around your back to maneuver you so he can comfortably reach the mouse. Another rumble of thunder and you whimper and tighten your grip around his neck.
“Where are your headphones Sweets?” he asks softly in your ear.
“Dead and charging,” you reply in a muffled voice from his neck.
He chuckles again. “S’alright. I gotcha,” he whispers.
You’re so goddamn cute when you’re like this. You’re usually not this clingy. Sure, you like to hold his hand when the two of you are out, or you drape a leg over him when the two of you are sitting on the couch watching tv, but usually you’re to yourself, quiet and vibing.
“Tell the guys I say hi,” you say, as your breath tickles his neck.
“They can hear ya,” he replies ”Don’t be rude fuckers, say hi to my girl,” he bites back.
A chorus of hellos ring out from the headsets and you smile at the screen before another thunderclap hits and your back to hiding in Katsuki’s neck.
Katsuki won’t admit it aloud but thunderstorms are his favorite. It never fails. Whenever the storms start you find him wherever he is in the house and cling to him for dear life. He knows you’re strong, knows you don’t usually show this vulnerability around anyone else but he loves that you show it with him. He loves the idea that when you’re completely terrified you run to him, you seek him out, you trust him enough to protect you.
So he holds you and rubs your back as you koala onto him during the storm. He places soft kisses on your forehead between cool downs and breaks while he’s gaming with the rest of his friends and when your headphones are finally charged, he plays with one hand so you can sit at his feet and squeeze his hand when the thunder is too loud for the music to drown out.
“Alright fuckers, don’t think just cuz I’m gaming with one hand you’ll be able to beat me. I’ll dominate you all,” he says as he gives you one last peck on the forehead and unpauses the game.
cringe culture is dead to me, i wanna start writing MHA fanfics/headcanons again (the hyperfixation has driven me to this point)
ideas i have are (a lot of these are inspired by my DRs too) - erasermic x adopted child reader - venom quirk reader - autistic reader - shigaraki/dabi (individual) x reader - Class A members reacting to bioluminescence quirk user - slice of life scenarios - platonic character x reader - 'fangirl' reader - multiple passions reader - bakugou x aroace reader BUT they end up falling for him and have trouble navigating it (this is a harsh self projection) (edit: or they're both arioace bsfs mistaken for a couple)
y'all can use this as inspo but pls don't directly steal some of these 😭
bullying katsuki cuz he’s so fun to tease
now, don’t get me wrong, kit kat lays down pipe like a super mario bro, but that’s doesn’t mean he should get cocky! sometimes he needs to be reminded that he’s obsessed with you and needs you more than air 💞
Ok, so maybe you don’t have as much experience as katsuki, (like none at all, he was ur first) but you’re pretty sure he’s great, and you’re pretty confident you’re ok too. At least that’s what he tells you, and you’ve elected to believe him.
the first few times were pretty awkward, still nice, but a bit clunky. after you get in the rhythm of things tho, you guys are at it like bunnies. it’s pretty clear that katsuki is good at what he does, you cum and you cum hard.
so when ur laying on his chest one day after getting your back blown out, you decide to be really annoying.
“sigh... you suck.”
“what?”
“That was like really bad”
“What the fuck are you talking about?”
“You have terrible dick game, i’m sorry i had to be the one to break it to you”
He furrows his eyebrows before he realises it’s a stupid joke. Rolling his eyes, he pulls you in closer, smushing ur boobs against his side even more.
“Be quiet”
“I’m just speaking my truth katsuki. You are abysmal.”
“Shut up. as if you didn’t just nut.”
You snort and hold him tighter. he’s so warm and cozy, you want to suck his dick sometime soon.
“silence, you don’t know anything about me. I could’ve been faking.”
he lets out a huff. He knows you’re only kidding, but he’s beginning to get defensive.
“i know- i know everything about you. stop being annoying.”
“Ok.”
You yawn and close your eyes. the room becomes nice and quiet, and the BUFFOON actually thinks you’re done. As soon as his eyes flutter closed, you strike.
“Worst dick i ever had,” you whisper, giggling as his eyes fly open and he looks down at you angrily.
“Bitch-! only dick you ever had, fucking virgin.”
You gasp in shock! how could he!
“katsuki!!! that’s mean!!”
“What-! You said worse to me!”
You press your face into his booby and he stares down at you incredulously, but with love also.
“It’s only funny when i do it because you know you’re good! i don’t know i’m good! You’re the cool one, you can’t bully me, that’s just bullying!”
He sighs, examining your little face pressed up against him. well, you’re a pain in the ass, but you’re worth it.
“I only said it cuz you were getting on my nerves,” he says softly, as if you could never get on his nerves really. he places his hand on your head, providing a calming weightiness.
“mm.” you actually look like you might drift off now, and he smiles to himself, a smile that he would never let anyone else see.
“You know... you know i think that you’re amazing right?” you can feel him speak, feel the vibration from his chest. it soothes you.
“yeah.”
“yeah”
“best you ever had?”
“don’t push your luck”
katsuki snorts as you give his abdomen a light thump
“hey! who is it then! go on i can take it!”
“I’m joking babe, of course it’s you.”
He leans down and kisses you on the forehead, which pleases you, but does little to appease you.
“No no, who is it? i’m listening! don’t spare my feelings now!”
that’s when you hear his ugly little gremlin laugh, a laugh he only lets out when he’s with you.
Your frown fades away and you refocus on squeezing him as right as you can.
“why are you so mean to me?”
“Why am i-?!” he pauses, sighs, and lets it go, “i don’t know. i love you.”
“I love you a lot less.”
“mhm”
...
“you know i don’t mean that right?”
“go to sleep y/n”

if you enjoyed, pls considering reblogging!!
I honestly just want more of your headcanons for mha if you have them? :3
note: I have this note on my phone with all my random mha headcanons that's like, a mess of characters and plots, so it might be a bit all over the place, but here we go! tw: canon typical violence, scarring, burns etc for Dabi
Shoto is totally the type to sign his texts like "friendly regards, Shoto Todoroki", and uses super appropriate punctuation and stuff, but he also uses all the overly expressive smileys ( :3 xD UwU :c ^u^ etc) because Izuku does it, and Izuku is the first friend Shoto texted, so he thinks this is normal
and nobody has the heart to tell him otherwise
Denki having adhd is one of my favorites, I've already mentioned this, but it's kinda important to me, lol
I also love to think that Denki is a super supportive friend, and that he genuinely cares for everyone in his class, and knows them all really well, he's just a person that's so genuine and caring, it makes it very easy to open up to him!
okay Shinso and Denki are gamer boyfriends, they can sit together in the dark on their gaming computers and talk to each other on discord for hours and call it quality time
I think the burns under Dabi’s eyes were on purpose, or, at first he tried to wipe his tears when he was upset, much like what happened with Kirishima, but when he realized he couldn't cry from that eye after, he did it again to the other one so he wouldn’t cry in front of his dad and show weakness
I 100% think Hawks molts every now and then, and it makes Dabi sneeze like a motherfugger
When they were kids, Izuku worried that Bakugo's explosions would make him lose his hearing, and while it hasn't yet, he still worries about it and keeps up with the basic stuff, just in case
Bakugo realizes it one day when he catches Izuku practicing, and seeing his childhood friend sitting there trying to perfect this thing for him, just in case, with his weary and crooked hands, something just... hits him
He asks Izuku to teach him too, and once, when he's working as a pro years later, he once uses it to help a deaf child in a hostage situation, and he calls Izuku the second he has the chance to tell him all about it
Izuku cries and Bakugo pretends he doesn't hear it lmao
I think Eri loves Momo and Jirou, she thinks they’re sooo cool!
They become a safe place for her as she grows up, some older girls to ask about all sort of different stuff Aizawa and Mic might not be able to understand or relate to
oh, and Deku and Eri stays tight forever, to the point where she starts to refer to him as her brother
He gives her away at her wedding BYE I'M GONNA CRY -
If we're in the upheaval verse or any other scenario where Dabi and Shoto reconnect, I think they would realize they're more similar than they ever knew
Esp Dabi, who had Shoto built up as this perfect, glossy Endeavour 2.0 in his head for so long, only for him to realize Shoto is just the most socially awkward kid who also hates Endeavour
Shoto thinks any time they spend together is great quality time, and Dabi is just so taken aback by it lmao
Dabi loses his mind a little at Shoto's fashion sense tho, Dabi loves to be extra, as we already know, and Shoto's little cardigans and polo's and mom-fashion makes him wanna shake some edge into him
Okay, but imagine the same with Hawks and Tokoyami, but kinda the other way around
Hawks isn't exactly a fashion icon, but after he's released escapes from the commission (leave me alone it happens in my version of things), he starts to realize he enjoys expressing himself with clothes
He asks Tokoyami for ideas and stuff since he likes how edgy and personal Tokoyami looks
Tokoyami literally just wears black tho, so he's not much help, but he's willing to try
Hawks ends up wearing shit that looks like the pastel grunge/goth tag from Tumblr in 2012 lmao
But he's happy so who cares, right?
(Dabi cares, but he tries really heard not to say anything)
I also just think Hawks wanna be friendly with Tokoyami so badly, like, bond outside of work? Talk about school and friends and stuff?
And Tokoyami doesn't understand that's what he's doing because Hawks is so bad at candid social stuff because that's not really something you can train for, yanno?
So he thinks Hawks just wants information, like when they first met, and Hawks is like... so lost lmao
I know they're not friends in canon, but I looove Mirko and Hawks as besties
I just think she'd be great at taking care of Hawks and teaching him social skills and stuff without being condescending
Dabi would do it, but he's just as bad as Hawks and doesn't wanna learn anyway lmao
Okay and finally, Shoto totally used to have a crush on Hawks
Just a distant school boy crush, and it ended years ago, but he still thinks it's a little weird when Hawks and Dabi starts dating at first lol
Shoto would totally tell him in front of both Dabi and Izuku (Shoto's boyfriend) lmao
"You know Hawks, it is a little funny that we are here now, as you were my first crush, and sort of made me realize I was gay, and now here we are and you are dating my brother who we used to think was dead haha :-)"
And Hawks is just like... ʘ‿ʘ
Izuku is blushing so hard he almost passes out lmao
Dabi finds it all fucking hilarious of course
bnha requests are open <3
