I have headcanons... Head Cannons if you will
I thoroughly believe Bakugou is the type to bullshit his way around every little truth so honestly this shit might as well be canon bc he is Absolutely That Extra
- The new reveals told that: The reason we didnāt see his room is because itās got shelves of romance manga.
-Therefor : Bakugou is a MAJOR BOOK NERD NESTER
-He has cookbooks, his trashy literature, his classics, his mangas, every school book he ever owned has been kept.Ā
-This includes shit he wrote himself
-Cookbook notebooks, its a full wall to wall scenario. He has books in every language and they make a librarian weep.
-The books he canāt read?? He has notebooks filled with translations heās jot down after hours of scouring the internet and his OTHER books.
-TBFH his self written notebook collection putsĀ āshitty nerdy fanboy dekuā to shame
-Not only does he have this many books, they have consumed him. His room is wall to wall with them and they are so neatly organized to his mind that he just AUTOMATICALLY knows EXACTLY where every little page is.Ā
-You may think,Ā āBakugou is the neatest of the studentsā
-He understands his methods. You could never.Ā Iām not shitting you, we have only ever seen his bed because its the only clean spot. He has piles of books, his closet is filled with his novelty t-shirts--
-Oh, he swaps out his wardrobe every season. Not because he cares per say but rather if he didnāt heād drown in the clothes. His parents own a fashion line, every. single. month. he gets something new.
-Clothes mean jack shit to him. Sure, he getsĀ it. He understands that clothes areĀ āExpressionsā... but to him its just bullshit extra merchandise that he gets inĀ packages once a month since he born. He long since left behind any attachment to anything that wasnāt some doofy bs novelty shit. His skull shirt collection is hideous and he loves it.Ā
-Bc he gets clothes so often, he just as often donates them.
-Everyone in 1-A has received a mysterious package of clothing. Everyone. And itās always customized because like hell heād just throw clothes at people puh-lease his father DESIGNS FASHION FROM SCRATCH
-Itās alsoĀ āsecretlyā his way of trying to put some kind of fashion sense in the heathens he lives with.Ā
-So his closet is full, his walls are lined with shelves and stacks and notes.
-But the rest of theĀ āclear spaceā is filled with art.
- Drawings, Sketches, Designs. Little thing stacked up or tapped together. Prototypes over a desk thats STUFFED with pencils and erasers and extra paper and books.Ā
-Photographs of the places heās been. So many different shots of Paris, mountains, rivers, lakes. He has a series of photo albums for the best and one is entirely dedicated to sunrises- another to sunsets.
-He has a map above his bedside. Itās the only spot big enough because it doesnāt have a big ass bookshelf on the wall.
-The map is big and delicately detailed. But itās still just a map.
-The cool shit is that it is COVERED in tack-markers. Well, most of it is.Ā
-Europe is washed out by tacks. France has so many different colored tacks its an eyesore. Paris has a big ass push pin bc heās been there so many times. Enough that when Aoyama starts mumbling obscenities at their classmates he has to stop himself from cackling along.
-He has a trail of pushpins along the Alps and Pyrenees.Ā
-The different colors mean things. But only he gets its.
* Black is Done. Been there, done it, no point going back.
*Green is Good. Itās a place he kinda liked, but its not somewhere he needs to go back to. Paris is a big ass green push pin.
*Red is for a place he wants to go back to. The mountains are a trail of red that grows inch by inch longer.
*Blue is for Potential. He marks his next trips in blue, but not his dream trips.
*Those would be his nice, doofy, silver tipped push pins. the classicĀ āstring on a crime boardā kind. He has major cities plotted out with these. Theres a large mishmash over america filled with silver and blue. He has books and books and BOOKS on american mountain ranges and cuisine and he not-so-secretly plotted out a course all-might themed rest stops.
*Yellow is for his favorites. The first mountain he ever hiked, the onsen he found while his parents dragged him out to a business trip up north, the island they went on once for a family vacation. (He fell in love with the sunset. It was clear and bright and there were so many colors at once that its hisĀ āhappy placeā. He sat on top of a fucking volcanoĀ and it was AWESOME.)
-The map is obsessively picked over, the pins are carefully arranged, and the map itself its surrounded by his favorite snapshots of the places marked.
-His room is a mess. But he does know the exact inch everything belongs in.
-He may not seem it, but he is sentimental. He just doesnāt keep all the sentimental shit in the dorms. Those things are at home. On shelves and wall caddies and tucked between his even BIGGER collection of books and cd cases.
-He does have All Might merch, but again, at home. The few things he has at the dorm are hand drawn posters, so much cooler than the cheap shit you get in the store.
-He doesnāt have time for movies and shows, but when he does its eitherĀ ācheesy romance serialā orĀ āblood, guts, and gloryā
-TBFH his FAVORITE movie is a bastard child of a romcom, an action, and a suspense thriller. Itās horrible, its audacious, its cheesy and the vgi is awfulĀ but its one of those Things he loves. (On really bad days, when his arms ache for hours and he didnāt sleep well the night before he lets the movie go on repeat just for the cheese. Itās a soothingĀ ānothing really mattersā kinda Thing)
-Oh, lets not forget his arms.
-His quirk is DEMANDING. Its a needy little princess. He gets sick of it acting like a bitch. His arms will ache if he over does it, so he has a giant fucking box of tiger balms and compression wraps and weird fucking icy-hot concoctions.
-He DOESNāT have skin car shit. Surprise surprise, he doesnāt need it. He is soft. He is also, incredibly fucking annoyed.
-He has those super obnoxious spray colognes, some super expensive shit, and inbetweeners. Because otherwise he smells like he just rolled out a vat of butterscotch and step into a shower of caramel. But BURNT.
-Seriously, his room would be noxious from the nitroglycerin smell alone. He constantly has a fan going and the window open. And while the room is cluttered he CANNOT let it go uncleaned or he risks a build up of explosives. He has to change his sheets daily, he has a routine for covers and pillow cases, and he is damn near religious in clothes washing because otherwise heās destined to explode Something he Doesnāt Want Exploded. (The books. The very flammable sometimes RARE books.)
-Oh, and he has MANY a blanket and throw. He swaps them out so he isnāt doing huge loads of laundry for the big shit. Itās mostly thin blankets anyways, but theyāre super soft and cozy and he nestles up to read his books like a demented caterpillar. The blanket he sleeps with ALWAYS ends up on the floor.Ā
-He doesnāt like to think himself overly conceited. But he is cocksure and arrogant and he has an image to keep. So of course he has routines to make himself look good.
-This is just a Bakugou thing TBQH.
-More of a personal headcanon, but heās definitely gay. Not in the super obvious way, but heās definitely confident in it. He isnāt about to go plastering his walls with flags (as if theyād fit), and he isnāt jotting down crushes in a journal (he does have journals, theyāre just... incredibly volatile and profane)
-Heās just, confident.Ā He has a single little rainbow picture, its a picture he took and its super cool and shit. A rainbow in the mountains, right after a shower. He keeps in in a frame in one of the bookshelves near his manga. Itās tasteful, and itās subtle. He knows what its for, and the littleness of it feels nice and secure.
-He doesnāt shy away if asked. But no one asks. Heād be honest, if anyone did. Itās not something he will hide- thatād be cowardly...
-But deep down, it does give him pause. Itās something he wrestled into submission since he figured it out. He had this big dream of being N.1 and then one day he realized that, had society not advanced the way it did, he could have nothing. Heād never tell a soul but it scared him, to know that despite all hisĀ āperfectionsāĀ he had this one thing that would turn heads in a way he didnātĀ want.
-He realized though that it as just one more thing heād own. So he noosed it, that fear, and he throttled it into submission. Heād be N.1, heād be open, Heād pioneer that shit if he had too- but he didnāt have too. It ended up being something that added character if nothing else, and he was determined to make it a trait and not a flaw and to build his pride with it.
-That all being said, much like any self respecting gay- he does has a string of lights tastefully weaving over the wood of his bookshelves.
* He doesnāt get sick often. Just, doesnāt. He keeps a close watch on his health, is always good on hygiene, and in general doesnāt jeopardize his well-being.
* When he gets sick. It hits him like a FREIGHT TRAIN.
* He only gets fevers once in a blue moon and heāll fight the damn moon itself to keep it this way because when he DOEs get a fever its like a putting a handful of firecrackers into a cooking pot.
* He pops when sweaty. He just DOES, Itās INCREDIBLY annoying but thankfully localized to the hands. But when the fever strikes, his whole body pops. He spends the majority of his fever curled up in something flame-proof to wait it out.
*If heās sweating, and by some MIRACLe he blushes, he CRACKLES.
* Heāll kill you if you witness it.
* I said heās confident, not that he canāt be flustered.
* On that note, heāll take it to the grave, but he definitely made Kaminari discharge in front of the dorms that first day by kissing him. It was on the cheek though! And it fucking hurt.Ā Touching Kaminari is like playing roulette and his finger tips smell funny afterwards so he tries to avoid it.
* Honestly, the same can be said for anyone with a quirk that can react to his.
*Fucking half-and-half actually worries him. For the sanctity of his clothing.
* That fight with Deku in ground-beta set off every nerve ending he had and for a solid 24 hrs afterwards he actually had trouble keeping his quirk under his skin. He can still vividly recall the arc of electricity over his face and it never fails to leave a lasting echo in his mind.
* Kirishima is good for this though. Ironically, heās grounding. Heās the one person Bakugou has never worried about hurting or leaving damage behind. Likewise, he knows that Kirishima high-key needs the confidence boost that Bakugou drags with him everywhere, so he amps up his attitude when the red-head seems down.
* He has no earthly idea how to describe his relationship with Kirishima and it shows. He would never dare say it allowed, but he knows that the boy is his best friend and heād honestly kill for him. But more so, heād be willing to live and fight beside him.
* Kirishima is one of the VERY FEW who has a picture in Bakugouās room. Itās from a hiking trip, and its really backlit so you honestly wouldnāt know at first glance, but its beautiful. A sunrise, right at the summit. A figure standing on a rock with a hand excitedly outstretched towards the horizon.
* The other people with photos, are his parents- and the Midoriyaās.
* Itās not as obvious this one. But he keeps a family photo on his bookself of the three Bakugous, and then theres an oldĀ photograph tucked away between some of his older school book collections.
* Itās a beach photo. He couldnāt be more than, maybe three?Ā
* Itās a whole other life. A time before his quirk. Before he knew he was destined.
*Heās sitting on a rock with a backsplash of salt and foam. Heās got an arm wrapped around a tinyĀ Izuku. It was the only thing keeping the other boy from tumbling off into the waves. Their moms are sitting on either side, big happy faces all around.
*The boys were burnt, both heavily freckled, and smiling like the world was endless.
* The photo...makes him sad. He canāt explain it, not even sure what words could do so. Itās nostalgic sure, but something between the pixels of ink has him at a lost. It was such a different time, and the little boy in the photo is a stranger.
*Sometimes, rarely and in the dead of night when a nightmare finally gets him awake, he thinks about life. About how different it could have been, about the paths he chose and the ones he burnt. He wonders, he regrets, and he moves on before morning.
*Bakugou Katsuki refusesĀ to dwell. He bottles and compartmentalizes and he tucks it away like a pamphlet in a library. Notes and subscripts to be lost in translation.Ā
( Heās vocal, heās vivid. He writes. He loves his book collection and he writes his own short stories. His imagination is as vivid as the rest of the class, and he jots down half finished ideas all the time. He has a memory that makes an elephant cry, so his school notebooks are tiny and his idea notebooks are scattered. The words he canāt get out into the air are sometimes trapped in ink. )
