Pavlova Cookie is a bit annoying with his penchant for sticking his nose into everything with little regard for if it’s wanted or asked for, so that is something that people may want to avoid, but the main reason for this opt-out is his primary ability. Pavlova has the ability to essentially look into a person’s heart and see their relationships. This is not limited to romantic relationships, as he can see both romantic and platonic relationships, as well as being able to sense if a person wants certain relationships. If it has to do with their relationships in any form he can find it out from poking around long enough. From unrequited love to lies people tell themselves in relation to their perception of their relationships, he can see it all. If he focuses hard enough he can even read the story of a particular relationship. It’s a very specialized power, but it’s also very powerful. So I’d like to know if for one reason or another you’d like him to Not Do That. Or if you’d like to opt out of interacting with the little shipper entirely. The descriptions offer suggestions for people opting in, but opting out is always alright, and you can just put “No” into all of the sections. You can also just put what he can sense and nothing else if there are parts and pieces you don’t want him picking up on.
Opt out: Yes/No
Relationships he can read: This is the fun part! Tell me aaaaall about your character’s relationships. All of the important ties they have! This can be as detailed or simple as you like, or as you feel befits the importance of the relationship. If your character has a billion and one friendships with npcs, you can just say that. Have fun with it!
Beliefs they hold: Essentially, what parts of their relationships are they misinterpreting or lying to themselves about. Have they been willfully ignoring someone’s advances because they’re nervous the other isn’t serious about it? Have they been arguing with a friend over a total misunderstanding? Do they think that a relationship they want won’t work out for some reason? Do they want romance but don’t think they’re cut out for it because of their occupation or situation or something? He can sense that! Put it in!
Tropes: He is the CRK equivalent to a kid who reads fics on Ao3 to stave off depression. If you want him to call your character cringe I can see what I can do to make that happen. He’s already wrapping his head around Shadownilla Toxic Yaoi. This is also a less intensive option for those who don’t want him peeping their whole romance.
How does their heart look: I often like to embellish my writing with things like this, so sometimes I might refer to a character’s heart as though he is seeing a representation of it tangled in its relationship strings. Are there a bunch of severed ones hanging there? Are the strings squeezing it too tightly? Are the strings threatening to break? Loose? What are the strings made of? What does the heart itself look like? Is it like glass? Literally walled off? Drained of color?
Additional considerations: Anything you think is important that might not fall under the prior sections! His "knowledge of relationships" is very vague in it's scope so if you'd like him to learn something specifically to call them on it, this would be a good place to note that.
May I contact for more info: Yes/No. This is just here in case things change organically over time and/or i’m writing something specific and want to double check about the specifics of something mentioned above. “No” is for those who only want him referencing what is mentioned and nothing else.
Opt out: No, the opt-in option. Relationships he can read:
Canon Thankfully, Katsuki Bakugo's relationships with most of his classmates are fairly consistent across the board. He respects and cares about all of them in his own rough punkish/tsundere way. That said, he holds Izuku Midoriya in a league of his own. Shoto Todoroki also stands out as her is part of the "Big Three" alongside Bakugo and Izuku. While the series is a Shounen and doesn't dive too deeply into every dynamic, these relationships are among the more notable ones, each carrying its weight and significance worth mentioning.
Izuku Midoriya - Katsuki Bakugo idolizes Izuku in a way that almost mirrors how he idolizes All Might. To him, Izuku truly embodies what it means to be a Hero, and coming to terms with that has been a turning point in the series. While Katsuki knows he can win like a Hero, hell, and even Save like a Hero. Katsuki struggles to act like one in the same ways that Izuku himself does. He cannot echo what Izuku is, no matter how hard he tries. That gap does't hurt as much as before, but it still stirs something in him. Like an intense drive, maybe even longing, to reach that same kind of greatness.
Romantic - They can be, but these feelings are the same as fans have for idols or people have reverence for those beyond them, etc. I always backpack off these feelings personally, for when he wants to try to understand romantic love.
All Might - From the moment Katsuki Bakugo first saw that Hero on screen, he knew that he wanted to be just like him. All Might's strength, his ability to win every battle, captivated Katsuki, especially as a child who was constantly told he was destined for greatness. To Katsuki, greatness had a shape: it looked like All Might. His drive to reach that same height fueled all the effort and ambition he poured into himself. All Might means everything to him, even if Katsuki tends to act rough or indifferent around him.
Loving Parents - Masaru Bakugo and Mitsuki Bakugo, Katsuki has a loving family that adores him, and he adores them back. Their dynamic may confuse others from the outside, but to them, it is perfect.
Class 1-A & UA tbh: Loves them, with a capital L.
Shoto Todoroki - Nothing too much of note but Bakugo highly respects Shoto and hates that he calls him friend, even though, they are very close otherwise. He regards Shoto's father lowly, and calls him a piece of shit/asshole.
Best Jeanist - (x) His relationship with Jeanist is extremely healthy, and Bakugo adores him! Although he is very tsundere about himself, they have a beautiful mentor & student relationship. He ends up working with him as a sidekick when he graduates from UA.
Stixs At this time, Bakugo doesn't have any close relationships; he regards Lily Cookie with some favoritism in that he misses his mom. Though Lily is not anything like her, she is older, and so Katsuki just soaks that in. He thinks Wolfwood is cool, doesn't like that Mamika says they're a magical girl - when he feels she isn't. He thinks everyone in sticks is fucking W E I R D , he kind of hates it here. Actually, deep down, really hurt and wants to go home.
At this time I haven't worked on his stixs self yet sooo.. I'll update that when I do.
Beliefs they hold: A B O U TAt his core, Katsuki Bakugo believes in winning - above all else. This is a headcanon, but it's strongly supported by how he refuses to call anyone in Class 1-A his friend. Even Izuku.
To him, everyone is the enemy - and he means that affectionately. Accepting the idea of friendship, in his mind, means forfeiting to basically weakness in of itself. Something he works tirelessly to avoid. So he lies to himself, or outright denies having friends, not out of malice but out of a deep-seated need to be taken seriously. Whether friend or not, he wants others to see him as a rival, as a challenge - because only then will they bring their best to a fight, and he can face them at full strength. Katsuki wants nothing less; otherwise, he will interpret it as disrespecting him.
I do write Katsuki as the kind of person who, once he realizes you have feelings for him - whether subtle or straightforward, will return them in kind. But love, for him, is a loaded gun. Powerful, volatile, and not something he handles lightly or wants at all, really.
I write Katsuki as leaning aro/ace - not because he lacks the capacity for love, but because his drive to win and become a Hero leaves him with zero interest in romance. The desire to want, even naturally, is just not there for him. It simply doesn't register as a priority. That is, until he's forced to confront his own feelings, for an example, like with Izuku, when the idea of losing someone genuinely good rattles him.
What does that mean to him? What is he supposed to do with that? Romance only starts to matter to Katsuki when it's placed directly in front of him, whether as something he needs to understand himself. Or when it's personal - and even then, he has to choose to try to understand it on his own terms, otherwise, he'll just get mad. Love for him 100% is never going to be the same for other people/general person.
He'll never pursue love for love's sake. He would with Izuku, but only because of their long, situationship of 10+ years. And if someone else had shared that kind of deep-rooted situationship with him? It would be the same, so it's not just because it's Izuku, it's because he has a LONG-STANDING friendship with him. Tropes:Link
Tsundere
Possessive, not Jealous, meaning, what's his is his - and he's not afraid to lose it. He's that confident.
Obsessive.
Meticulous.
Asshole with a heart of gold.
Good boy acting bad.
How does their heart look: 431+ SPOILERS SpoilersSomeone is holding it together, with a string of its own. Maybe in how a heart is just a heart, but his is literally like a heart that is woven into shape. Made of strings now? The heart noteable was destroyed, his heart now is his own, but it was created for him to stand on his own. He is very well loved.
One little star shining bright, representing the small bit of sweat that brought him back to life. And the little members from All Might's vestige, keeping him safe just for a little longer.
For a boy who acts so brash, he has a big heart and loves everyone around him very hard. Additional considerations: 431+ SPOILERS Spoilers I take him from canon where he just died, so to him, he thinks he is permanently dead. Otherwise, I cannot think of anything else. His heart was what burst/stabbed when he died, so like... Whatever you wanna interpret with that. Go for it.
Just want to reiterate I rp him aro/ace (eventually demiace lean) when he understands himself more. He doesn't understand love, but it's a matter of him having to figure out what it means.
Katsuki loves everyone, without a doubt, just as much as Izuku. It's a weakness ,though, so he basically struggles as he is trying to contend with accepting that weakness while wanting to deny it.
May I contact for more info: Yes, always, I love things like this!
