listen. listen. It's okay if you make super niche content. Don't be swayed by the siren song of popularity and broad appeal if that's not what you want to make. I promise you there's some weirdo who will read your fic four times in a row at 3am because I have been that weirdo
I know "Deku comes back from overseas and he's the size of All Might and Katsuki is shook" is popular and very good, but I humbly offer "Deku comes back shockingly thin.. like All Might.. and avoids Katsuki entirely"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
@_Meladactyl_
!!!!! Thank you for spending so much of your time with me <3 <3 <3 Sorry this wasn't a great surprise because I showed you the sketch already,,, Also I scheduled this to go off at your midnight so I'm probably asleep and you might be too 😴🧜♂️
so here's a scam to be aware of! someone looking for "wh\ere can I do//na/te" replies, then changing their account name and pfp to try to trick you into donating to their paypal. Luckily this was on a joke post but it looks like they've successfully scammed people in the past
but what if they got hit by a de-aging quirk TOO ???
some bkdk merms for my dear
@_Meladactyl_
!!!
(don't be fooled by these cute mermbies, her merm comic is adult and not for babies)
it often feels really bleak being a fic writer. People act like they can't live without a constant supply of free fic yet writers don't get the numbers, the comments, the shares, and the support to reflect that. even zines often treat writers like a begrudged afterthought
this is the most self-indulgent thing I've ever made and you aren't allowed to make fun of me for it
have some bkdk whump bathtime (cw nudity i guess lol)
I say this a lot but it's worth repeating: if you genuinely like a fic, share it. Share it on twitter, tell your friends, put it in discord rec channels. We talk about a lot of the most popular fics on here a lot, but there are some absolute gems that never get the same buzz
#bkdk
evaporation reaction
prompts: bathing, exhaustion
“Kacchan, get up.”
Katsuki grunts. The last thing he wants to do is what Deku is telling him. He wants to pass out and sleep forever right here, on their very comfortable couch, thank you very much.
“Kacchan, come on.”
#bkdk
🐈
There’s a cat in Katsuki’s guest bedroom.
He didn’t put it there. Didn’t invite it. It didn’t get in there by itself.
But it’s there, and it’s Deku’s fault.
I'll never forgive bkdk twitter for telling me Izuku says "It's fine if it's you" in Heroes Rising and then seeing it in theaters and the subbed line is "I'm sure All Might would say it's fine if it's you"
you jerks. you jerks that's not the same thing
“I hope Kacchan never apologizes,” I say into the mic.
The crowd boos.
“His actions speak louder than his words!” I insist.
“She's right,” a voice says. I look for the owner. It's Deku.
really wanted to shared the full image from
@noctoyuki
for my fic Sink to Swim.. also so I can put it into the fic and link from here sksksk. LOOK AT MY BABIES THAT I TORTURED. LOOK AT THEM THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. Look at this LIGHTING. I'm still weepy about it. Anyway stan
#bkdk
I realized I've never shared this LIGHTS ON version of the art @/noctoyuki did for Sink to Swim (). The dark lighting is gorgeous of course but look at all the little details! uwu
Sneku! It's going up on ao3, if for some reason, you want to read it again! Just the prologue is up now, but I'm going to be moving it over bit by bit.
#bkdk
Bruised
Izuku undergoes an experimental and classified quirk healing program for his damaged arms, but a side effect from it causes his skin to bruise easily. Extremely easily. Every little brush and bump causes black and blue to bloom on his skin.
It's.. not ideal.
#bkdk
“Tell me not to do something stupid.”
Uraraka looks up from her book, face scrunching in suspicion. “Deku-kun, of course you shouldn't do anything stu—”
Sero cuts in, saying, “How entertaining is the outcome?”
“Pfft!” Uraraka clamps her hand over her mouth.
#bkdk
Izuku collects sea glass.
He's been doing it his whole life: walking the shore, picking out the little jewels from amongst the scattered shells and seaweed.
Alone but not lonely. He has the ocean and the birds, and it's not weird to be here by himself.
I know I've been going hard on the discourse this week but I just want to emphasize that being pro ship doesn't mean you have to *like* all ships. You can hate ships! They can make you uncomfortable, sick to your stomach! But they're fiction. Don't harass creators. The End.
#bkdk
Angel 🐱
Katsuki gets put on a top-secret, undercover mission that takes three days longer than it's supposed to. He can't contact anyone, can't go home.
By the time he trudges up to his apartment in the dead of night, he feels half dead himself.
But now mostly worried.
SELF INDULGENCE TIME, DE-AGED DEKU VERSION
#bkdk
Blockhead Babysitter
“Kirishima-kun, really, I'm fine,” Izuku says, his legs dangling uselessly in the air, strong arms secured around his middle. “I don't need help!”
my fave bkdk content is when people still portray Kacchan's gremlin essence even when they're together and in love and everything is perfect. Instead of "babe" or "sweetheart" his affectionate petnames are just "Deku" and "idiot"
and in reverse it's Kacchan Kacchan Kacchan
“Listen, Izuku,” she says, her hand stopping his own from undoing another button on her blouse. “I don’t think this is going to work.”
Izuku frowns, but pulls his hands away. No means no, and he is certainly going to respect that. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah,” the girl says.
y'all if you cannot handle the possibility of a fic taking months/years to update or plain getting abandoned without leaving rude or backhanded comments for the author I'm begging you to utilize this feature on ao3
bkdk, hair
Izuku's been held captive so long his hair has grown wild and unkempt, not able to do much in the way of hygiene besides comb bloody fingers through it. When he's rescued, it's tangled and matted, limp and dull.
Pro Hero Deku has been awake for almost three whole days.
Three days of miserable, grueling disaster rescue where there are too many casualties and far too few hands, heroic or otherwise, to help stem the tide.
So it's no surprise when he falls asleep during his debriefing.
Katsuki just saw him once in a paparazzi photo that couldn't have been real.
Yet, his texts go unanswered.
Reputable news sources aren't saying anything; rumors circulate anyway.
None of their friends know what's happened, or they're hiding something.
me: i gotta stop writing stuff where Kacchan rescues Deku. That says too much about me, probably
me two minutes later: okay so Deku gets kidnapped in ms and sold as a pet to a wealthy couple and years later Kacchan as a 3rd yr UA student is at this fancy party w/ his parents--
“Kacchan!” Deku gasps in mock horror. “Who would take care of Angel?” He grins, wobbly and beautiful, hair fanned out in a green halo on the floor. “What was his first name, anyway?”
Katsuki makes eye contact with a pair of glowing eyes in the dark.
“Satan.”
end 🐾
No, no he can't possibly be expected to wear baby pajamas. They wouldn't make him do that, right?
He's not sure what he's hoping for when he casts a desperate, imploring look at Kacchan - but the wolfish grin he gets certainly isn't his salvation.
Izuku swallows.
Well, shit.
Katsuki hit with a time travel quirk and getting stuck in the past for a while. He doesn’t really do anything with it: just shows up to Izuku’s birthday party that no one else attended, pretending to be a hero and a friend
except none of that happens he just wishes it could
#bkdk
Deku gets turned into a snake 🐍 thread!! Sfw, cw for uhh snakes and bugs and probably nudity idk let's go
--
Izuku is on his way home for a surprise Sunday visit to his mother when he runs into someone with a transmogrification quirk.
this is my bakuserodeku oneshot plot (nsfw):
Sero: I'm gonna fuck him.
Bkg: *spits out beer* you're wHAT
Sero: well, since you're too much of a coward to do it yourself
Bkg: fuck you I'm gonna fuck him
Deku: I'm in danger
hey fucking block me right now if you would ever consider attacking someone for ships, I don't care how problematic, get the fuck out of here and go look in the mirror and slap yourself in the face
"ugh"?? WEAK we were making them both aggressively and tenderly fall in love well before 2020, years before any apology. And it was still just as good! Their complicated past and rivalry is a key component of their relationship
#bkdk
New Year's Eve, stupid angst with a happy ending
When the last number counts down, and the room erupts into cheers of "Happy New Year,” Izuku turns to see Kacchan's face suddenly obscured by red hair.
His heart sinks lower than any American glitter ball could ever drop.
It's not like he can just tell Kacchan they're Kacchan's handprints.
“..They're WHAT?”
Izuku slaps his hand over his mouth. One For All wraps around him instantly and he's booking it out of the locker room and across campus before his brain registers exactly what just happened.
bnha manga chapter thoughts / spoilers:
.
.
1. oh my god Kacchan understands Deku holding his hand out to him
2. I'm going to explode when they finally hold hands
3. ...Deku told Aoyama to take his hand and Aoyama is tied up
#bakudeku
beach trip fluff+insecurity!
It's hot as fuck but Deku's keeping his shirt on. It's cause he burns easily and has the freckles to prove it, he insists, but Kastuki suspects there's another reason; the nerd has been avoiding changing in the locker rooms recently, too.
just heard my neighbor's kid outside call "ha ha you missed me now you gotta kiss me"
okay but bkdk
..as Pros
relationship relatively repaired, Izuku feels emboldened to use the schoolyard taunt during sparring practice, when an explosion whiffs
so Katsuki obliges him.
If there's one person that would know where Deku was, it was All Might.
If there's two, it's Midoriya Inko.
There isn't three, because that would be Katsuki.
Inko invites Katsuki in for tea and assures him that her Izuku is fine. Katsuki is a good friend for being concerned!
touch-starved bkdk is great but I raise you oblivious, overly touchy Kacchan who doesn't understand boundaries yet or why it's such a big deal to be so close to Deku when he's just trying to conserve body heat--
yes I've already written that and yes I'm writing it again rn
No.
Katsuki was wrong, he thinks, as he finally loses his last grasp on consciousness. It’s not enough.
It’s far more than that and it’s also nowhere near sufficient.
🧡💚
Sneku is just a few kudos away from 3k, which is amazing!!! 🐍💕
now's a great time for you to read it if you haven't yet (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
41k, 10 chapters, quirk shenanigans, a lot of fluff, a drop of whump, and a whole bunch of bkdk
Had something gone sideways during it? Had Deku gotten captured, tortured?
Had there even been any operation at all?
The one thing Katsuki knows is that if Deku was fine, he wouldn't be hiding.
He puts the car in drive and heads toward the expressway.
Midoriya Izuku sleeps through the rest of the debriefing.
Because Pro Hero Deku has been awake for almost three days.
And Bakugou Katsuki is a hero.
💚🧡
Scrabble - estab bkdk - stupid fluff
“Kacchan, that’s not a word.”
Katsuki’s eyes narrow across the neat rows and columns of tiles, flicking up to shoot daggers at his irritating companion seated on the other end of them. “The fuck it isn’t,” he spits.
#bkdk
“I really hate it here,” Izuku said, picking at the flimsy hospital gown he was all-too-used to wearing. “Sometimes I feel like I spend fewer nights in my own bed.”
“So leave.”
Izuku blinked. “Kacchan, I'm not cleared yet. I won't be discharged until at least tomorrow.”
have you read my bkdk mystery thriller yet, where Izuku gets accused of murder and Katsuki tries to prove him innocent? seen all the beautiful art by
@wildmageNSFW
each chapter has? here's a preview, see them all and read the whole (complete) thing here:
It's just hair.
But looking at his gaunt face in the mirror, with its dim eyes and faded freckles, the mess of green atop his head is just about the only part of himself that Izuku still recognizes.
Well.
That, and Kacchan, of course.
💚🧡
Katsuki is so tired, so wrung out and empty, and yet has never felt more fulfilled.
“Then I'm gonna take you home, and we can start working on that /husband/ thing.”
..
.the
end.

#bkdk
It isn't surprising what Katsuki sees when he opens his door, long past the hour the street lamps have turned on, and that pisses him off. Black and blue and green and red, an ugly rainbow under a buzzing light.
Deku doesn't say anything. Katsuki doesn't say anything.
People who say "I've never interacted with them, I don't know why I'm blocked" do not understand twit. I've blocked like... one person I've actually interacted with. I have over a thousand manual blocks. All I gotta see is you acting like a fool, or liking a bad post, and Bye!
oh? you managed to use your de-aging quirk to turn Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight into a child?!
congrats! now you have an angry baby, and you're still fucked
But the skin of her eyelids are puffy and tinged pink, and her eyes are glassy. Katsuki knows her to be just as prone to waterworks as her son so it could easily be nothing. Still, there's something in the way she carries herself that feels different. Heavy. Slow. Sad.
"you can't ship them, they're more like brothers" did the word friend just fall out of your vocabulary, or
I swear this is some western heteronormative bs where romantic partners don't share interests and just fall in love(lust) as complete strangers (and then are miserable)
Katsuki offers to help her with housework after the tea is gone and she lets him, barely putting up any polite resistance. It's simple work and it doesn't take long. She thanks him profusely regardless, and when Katsuki goes to make his leave, Inko asks him to wait.
