is this anything? I feel like it kinda isn't. I had fun with it though, so who cares?
I'm bored. I'm also in a mood. Therefore, it is time for another round of what doesn't kill you (makes you wish you were dead) headcanons!
tagging @hol1daygrl1225 bc she's my beautiful beta reader and goes feral over this fic
This time, though, it's different. It's different because these headcanons are le spicy.
(feel free to send asks about stuff here, especially the katzuku I love them sooooooooo much)
as such, I'm putting them under the cut.
main ships included: katzuku, erasermic
other smaller ships: shinkami, miritama
KATZUKU:
important preface note: katsuki is transmasc afab in wdky(mywywd)
they're complicated.
Technically, they're both switches, and they are both theoretically vers, but izuku prefers domming and katsuki prefers subbing.
however, their two most common combinations are 1. mean!top dom izuku x bratty!bottom sub katsuki and 2. service!top sub katsuki x power!bottom dom izuku
izuku's top 3 kinks: praise (receiving), degradation (giving), edging (giving)
*katsuki isn't really into the more hardcore rp. he's more about the pet names and sub aspect.
katsuki tries really hard to make sure he's praising izuku, but most of the time, coherence goes out the window pretty damn quickly (izuku still loves him even though he's dumb)
I think katsuki's mean and loud persona is just him adjusting his inner brat to nonsexual socially "acceptable" levels and it also fuels his banter with izuku. (izu: Kacchan we need to do XYZ /kat: you can't make me)
I think izuku disguises nonsexual dominance as looking out for/being annoyed at/bickering with katsuki. I am willing to explain this further. (kat: you can't make me do anything/izu: try me)
ERASERMIC:
important preface note: shouta is trans male afab and hizashi is aceflux in wdky(mywywd)
hizashi's top 3 kinks: idk he rlly likes the noises shouta makes, light bondage (both ways), fingering (giving)
I feel like once while on patrol hizashi was being stupid and shouta Got Him in the capture scarf and hizashi liked it just a little too much
and shouta likes a break from the stress of teaching which is the whole reason he subs, and most of his kinks stem from that as well
SHINKAMI:
note: erasermic adopted shinsou, he lives with them :|
shinsou tops, kaminari bottoms, less hardcore stuff with these two
kaminari does like it when shinsou brainwashes him though
and shinsou would never admit it but he likes it when kaminari sparks while they're doing stuff
shouta once accidentally walked in on them making out (shirts? What are those) and now they only ever screw around at kaminari's
MIRITAMA:
my babies I love them
are we suprised that tamaki is a sub? no, but we are that he's a switch. mirio's down for literally anything.
tentacle stuff, yep. wing stuff, yep. tamaki is also into pet stuff, but he does ears and tails like a normal person for that stuff because he's not a psychopath, he's not eating a cat or whatever
mirio's down for whatever (he likes making tamaki ask for what he wants. he likes making tamaki beg. it's lovely.)
I like to think that tamaki's super perverted (in a sweet boy way) and mirio's just kinda like "ah yes I'll let my cute boyfriend hold me down with tentacles and ride me, if he begs" "ill make him climax with only his wings, sure, but only if he asks for it"
I also think tamaki's ears are sensitive because I'm a freak and it's adorable
Basic Fandom Etiquette Everyone Needs to Remember:
Creators do not owe anyone content. Do not ask writers when they will update.
If an author did not ask for [negative] criticism , do not give criticism.
Read the tags carefully before reading a fanfic.
If you ignored the tags and were upset, that is your responsibility, not the creator’s.
Disliking a ship does NOT give you the right to attack people who enjoy it.
Do not tell authors or shippers that their ship is “disgusting,” “wrong,” or “shouldn’t exist.” Shipping fictional characters is not a moral failing.
No one is obligated to justify why they ship two fictional characters.
Headcanons are PERSONAL interpretations, not universal truth.
Dark themes in fiction do not equal real life beliefs or intentions.
Leaving kudos or short positive comments genuinely matters.
Not every fanwork is made for you, and that is okay.
Scrolling past content you dislike is better than engaging negatively
Enjoying a fandom later than others does not make someone less of a fan.
Disliking a fanfic does not entitle you to announce that to its creator. Sending hate comments to authors is NEVER justified, even if you disliked the work.
There are going to be days (or weeks, or months) where you sit down to write and feel... disconnected. From your voice, from your characters, from your ideas. Like the person who used to write your stories just packed up and left.
They didn't. They're just tired. Here's how to keep writing anyway:
Lower the bar (Until it's on the floor)
You are not here to write something brilliant. You are here to write something. A paragraph. A sentence. A single line of dialogue. Movement matters way more than quality.
Write around the story
Don't force it. If you can't write the scene, try:
⋆ A character ramble / journal entry
⋆ A conversation that won't be included in the final draft
⋆ A list of things the character would never admit out loud
⋆ A messy summary of what should happen
Engage with the story from a different angle.
Borrow a voice until yours comes back
No, not with AI. Read something that feels close to what you want to write, or watch a scene that captures the tone, then write immediately after. Not to copy, to reignite your instincts.
Write the emotion, not the plot.
What is your character feeling in this moment? What are they afraid of? What do they want but won't say? What's being kept from them? The emotion leads, the plot catches up later.
Stop trying to "feel like a writer" first.
You don't write when you feel like a writer. You feel like a writer because you write.
You are still a writer, even on the days it feels distant. Especially then.

Summary:
the impromptu therapy session had lasted only half an hour. katsuki didnt really remember what he'd said. that was fine, though. it didn't really matter. somehow, sooner or later, his secret would be out and everything would go back to normal.
izuku had just been spending so much time with icyhot recently, and it pissed katsuki off. they rarely included him, and while he wasn't mad that izuku had friends, the way he accidentally—or maybe on purpose—ignored katsuki made him feel useless and unwanted.
once katsuki's secret was finally out, maybe izuku would include him more. maybe he would actually want him around. maybe izuku would finally want him.
katsuki didn't sleep that night either. instead, he scrolled pinterest, picked at his healing scars, and dug himself further into his hole.
or alternatively: vent fic featuring bpd!katsuki x repressed!izuku and it is angst and it only hurts, there is no comfort. originally supposed to be a oneshot, but it got away from me, so now you get 3 whole chapters of pain!
if you ever doubt that your ao3 comments matter or mean something: i have been struggling with my writing for 6 months straight, crying myself to sleep afraid that i will never be able to write again, that the thing i love most in the world has left me, that my writing is just gone
this morning i got this comment:
and after i stopped blubbering over it, i picked up my writing notebook, and re-read all my fic research, and opened up my document again for the first time in weeks without being afraid of it
you have no idea how much writers treasure every single comment we get. you have no idea how big an impact you can have. sometimes, just sometimes, your one "insignificant" comment changes everything
it might be better as a two or three chapter dealio, because right now, it feels like it's too long and run-on. I feel like The Aftermath and The Aftermath Of The Aftermath need their own chapters.
I'm just spitballing here
we'll see what happens
(cut to avery sitting on a couch with a mostly-empty Ultra Strawberry Dreams Monster Energy at 5 AM having not slept for writing fanfic on their phone)
here, have another smol excerpt from what if i wanted to break (all i wanted was you).
the one-shot is almost done, and I'm starting to build the companion playlist!
(so far, we've got fall out boy, julia wolf, my chemical romance, thirty seconds to mars (for whom the fic is named), bring me the horizon, the warning, and a few others!)
For nine days, Izuku Midoriya went totally radio silent. He didn't read the few texts that Katsuki sent him, nor did he acknowledge the blond's existence when they had classes together. Instead, he paired himself with Todoroki, who he all but clung to. They were inseparable.
Katsuki Bakugou isolated himself, only leaving his room for classes and to get food (which he did maybe five times over the course of those nine days). He ignored all of his friends, save for Kirishima. The redhead was the only one he spoke to.
Everyone noticed. Midoriya hadn't changed much, but the lack of interaction with his best friend was glaring. Bakugou, on the other hand, was so distant and quiet that even the students in 3-B noticed.
yeah sooooo there have ended up being way more trigger warnings than I had anticipated. I probably should have foreseen it, considering that I'm writing from experience, but the creative liberties have kind of gotten away from me.
to put it bluntly: katsuki is even less stable of borderline than I am, and I'm pretty damn unstable when I'm splitting.
(pretty sure the difference is that I'm almost five months clean after a minor relapse before which I had been clean for almost a year (yay), and he's... his only "healthy" coping mechanisms are exploding stuff, sparring, and doomscrolling)
My question now is whether I should publish it or not. I feel like whumpblr and angstblr would love it, it's just very dark.
drop your thoughts in the comments, because I need external input.
