I had promised a KiriBaku kid something like months ago, and tbh most of the reason why it took me this long is because I couldn’t pick between these two so?? In the end just have them both I guess – some info about them under cut, in case you wanna know more!!

  • They were both adopted, Mako first, Tai later
  • Baku and Kiri actually one day decided they wanted kids and went through all the official channels to get one (and then another) – no “we happened to find you and fall for you so now you’re ours” in this one, they actually handpicked these kids for themselves
  • The second they saw Mako they knew she had to be theirs – she was four when they found her, and Bakugou actually looked at her and then turned to Kiri and went “is she actually yours? Is there something you’re not telling me?”
  • Her quirk is less fancy than it looks, at the moment – she’s got a good nose, can breathe underwater and her bite is pretty damn strong, but that’s about it for now
  • She still wants to be a hero like her fathers tho!!! Kiri’s super pumped up about this, don’t worry kid you’re in good hands your papa knows what to do with seemingly useless quirks to make them worth of a top hero
  • She likes to fill the bathtub and fall asleep in it, first time it happened Bakugou nearly had an heart attack
  • Part of her quirk is also that she’s slightly bigger than normal, maybe one day she’ll actually be taller than her dads!
  • Her name comes from a species of sharks btw, the Mako Sharks! Bakugou likes to call her all types of different sea creatures, she finds it funny
  • Taiyou’s name means sun, or intense sunlight – they adopted him when he was seven and the more time he spends with Baku the more similar to him he gets, which is why Kiri goes a lot out of his way to make him laugh as much as possible, just like he does with Bakugou himself
  • His quirk is super fucking strong, but he can’t control it nearly at all: when Baku and Kiri adopted him his body temperature was constantly way above normal and he’d just randomly melt or evaporate or straight out explode stuff without meaning to – it’s why his biological parents left him
  • He was scared of touching anyone or letting anyone touch him, but luckily for him Bakugou’s more than used to fire and Kiri doesn’t feel the heat at all, when hardened – Mako was another story altogether, for a while they had to keep them apart since she’s really weak to heat 
  • Baku and Kiri are teaching him how to control it, slowly, but for now he’s got a good grasp only on his own temperature and not even always – he’ll learn, in the future, and be so fucking strong
  • Kind of a shame he’s got no intention of becoming a hero, as of now
  • He likes cooking with Bakugou a lot, tho

Knowing I have both a katsudon son and a Tayaki son is so good

Isn’t katsudon Izuku’s fav food too? 😀

In your head do any of the characters in Boku No Academia have weird kinks?

Sorry anon, I don’t really ever think about that sorta stuff so I’m definitely lacking in that type of headcanons (try @syblatortue‘s blog for that sorta things!!!! nothing especially weird imho but I’m 100% sure you won’t be disappointed :D)

Anon said:

KIRI HAS A BACKSTORY OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED HE’S SUCH A PURE CHILD I NEED TO HUG HIM AND YOUR ART MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH BETTER

I’M GLAD TO HEAR THAT!!!!!! Honestly I don’t think he used to be generally a sad kid? He seemed pretty fired up and ready to do good, generally!! I loved it t b h !!!!! So I’m, like, pretending there’s no angst for now. Cause I’m a weak baby.

I never realized how much I love how you draw Ashido like,,, ugh she’s so cute and muscular and it makes me hella happy fjfjfhcthlfsfjlk

AHHHHHH THANK YOU!!!!!!! It’s been stated many many times in canon that Mina’s an athletic one so I like making her muscly!! Aside from Ochako she’s probably the physically strongest one, imho – but she’s also??? So cute??? Her clothes and words and her room and accessories (her phone too!!!!) everything’s so pretty and cute she’s really super cute I love it, muscular strong pretty and cute lady that’s, like, my ideal everything hahaha I indulge a lot while drawing her ngl

HOLY SHIT THE NEW MANGA CHAPTER

I KNOW RIGHT you wanna know my fav thing about it? The fact that there’s a (1) at the end of the chapter’s title like, fuck yes Kirishima’s backstory deserves more than just one chapter am I g l a d

Anon said:

Fran. FRAN. Kirishima’s hair is naturally black. I love your Kiri with black roots even more now that this is canon. If you ever draw more of Kiri with black roots (like he just has roots in random comics), I think I’ll cry happy tears because this gives me life.

Thank you!!!! And that’s highly probable at this point tbh, I know the pain of roots showing and how much sometimes you just Don’t Feel Like Fixing It too well to think Kiri would never let it get out of hand before he finally decides to dye it back to red hahaha

Anon said:

i just spent my whole day scrolling through ur tumblr while im sick and i feel better already. damn it i find life in ur drawings you’re a blessing ;;

gAH that’s so sweet!!! oh my g o ds ;A; I’m glad I could help you at least a lil bit, I hope you’re feeling better now!!

Who’s ur fave f/f pairing from bnha? (I love ur art btw bless u love)

Momo and Jirou!!! and thank you!!! <3<3

Anon said:

good time to become ambidextrous lol

I’m so damn useless with my left hand that before I learnt how to draw with it I’d have the time to heal from possibly a thousand blisters on my right hand, anon

Anon said:

Do you think kiribaku will become canon? I have high hopes.

I mean. I fucking wish. But BnHA is a Jump Shounen, so… better not put too many hopes on that (as of now I’m limiting myself to hoping neither of them will end up in a relationship that isn’t with the other tbh, that would be enough for me)

Anon said:

Your whole blister situation reminds me of when I got a blister from playing guitar without a pick and it made me so angry that I couldn’t play correctly that I just. Took a safety pin and kinda. Stabbed it. All I can say is please don’t do that because it hurt like a mother. Anyway I completely understand your frustration.

I’m sorry but I laughed so hard at this oh my GOD – don’t worry anon, I’m letting it heal by itself haha thank you for the concern, tho!!!! <3<3

While I adore your art and the frequency you post some, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAND/WRIST!!! Rest and get yourself back to your fighting capabilities! <3 *aggressively cares about your well being*

Anon said:

plEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Anon said:

How’s your hand, Fran? U OK? Are you resting well and taking good care of yourself? Get well soon💜

Anon said:

Please look after yourself and keep healthy, you’re art is beautiful and thank you for doing it but look after yourself first 💙💙

Anon said:

PLEASE DON’T HURT YOUR HAND I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LONGER THAN YOU HAVE TOO

and also @ all the people who’ve mentioned similar feelings in the reblogs – thank you guys so much you’re all so sweet and adorable but oh my god it’s!!! nothing as serious as you all think it is hahaha I’m sorry I didn’t think it’d make so many of you worry rip I’m laughing what a mess

I actually mentioned it a few posts ago but it’s really just a blister – a pretty damn huge one, but still just a blister – it’s in a place where I apply pressure when holding a pen so drawing makes it sorta hurt, and to avoid breaking it I had kind of decided to wait it out and not draw until it’d healed?? But as it turns out it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna take as little time as I thought it would?? And not drawing was making me go out of my mind?? So I decided that I’m gonna draw anyway, but the position in which the blister forces my finger is a stupid one and the hold on the pen turns out a little awkward, so (for my own standards) the lines are turning out sloppier even though it’s taking thrice as long to trace them in an even only vaguely acceptable way

So!! This is what’s up! I’m sorry I made you all worry and thank you so much for the concern, but the only thing drawing anyway is gonna do is make me uncomfortable in the moment and maybe make healing a little more annoying, there’s no permanent damage anywhere in sight!

Anon said:

Hey Fran! I love your art and wanted to know if I could repost it on my toMBSTONE AFTER I DIE BECAUSE OF ONE OF YOUR BAKUSHIMA(NARI) COMICS,,THE CHARACTERIZATION, YOUR ART STYLE, THE WAY YOU MAKE POSES SO EXPRESSIVE I CANT!! Ahem.. I’m sorry, I know you don’t allow reposts under any circumstances, really I just wanted to tell you I love your art very much. Please keep blessing us with the content you create!

This is honest to god the sweetest and funniest ask I’ve ever gotten omfg hahahaha thank you so much!!!!! I’m so so so glad you like how I portray the three spiky nerds, it means a lot to me!!!!

my dude sucy looks SO GOOD in ur style

THANK YOU!!!! She’s so much fun to draw honestly !!

If I remember well the hero Ectoplasm doesn’t have legs…. I think it’s in 7th volume where this information appears

I KNOW oh my god çAç I love him so much anon, when I read his shifuku I cried a bit he’s!!! Such a good amazing hero – he!!! lost both of his legs!!!! and he’s still fighting villains and teaching kids!!!! And his tenacity makes him a seriously loved hero!!!!! And he looks like a n e r d !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Ectoplasm so much one of these days I’m gonna fill a whole page of all the pro heroes I love with all my heart and half the page is gonna be just that adorable nerd I s w e a r

Anon said: 

Yooo so like i understand that you’re gonna expect a certain quality from your art and it sucks if you don’t see it but… Just from my point of view I think it’s really incredible that with your hand hurting like it is (which!! I love your art but please don’t push yourself too hard!!) you still were able to produce art that I thought was very much quality work and idk I just wanted to let you know that I think your art is really very incredible and high quality. I hope you’ve had a lovely day!

B O I thank you so much!!! ;A; I don’t know how I deserve such nice words but I’m!!!! seriously happy you like my stuff!!!! Thank you ;A;

Hello Sero can sing have a nice day

Is there anything Sero can’t do tho seriously

(Sero’s just minding his own business with the squad when Todoroki’s suddenly by his side out of the blue and he’s like “I heard you listening to music in your room earlier, who was it it was nice” and Sero’s like ??? I wasn’t listening to music??? and they have a moment of utter general confusion until Kaminari’s like “dude he probably just heard you sing” and while Sero and Kaminari and Kirishima and Mina get swept in the usual “how could he mistake my singing for actual music” “do we have to have this conversation every single time” argument Todoroki just stands there not really knowing how to react at all because what

and then Bakugou’s by his side like “I swear he’s a fucking siren or something” which is like, the nicest thing Todoroki’s ever heard Bakugou say this is the most surreal day of Todoroki’s life)

Anon said:

U dunno how I could live until today without your bakushima/kiribaku fanarts… thank you so much ♡♡

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH no thank you for liking them!!!!!!!

Anon said:

I’m so happy that I found you!! Especially since you draw my Bro3tp (kirishima, bakugou, and denki) please keep up the good work!!!

WELP I actually ship and draw them as romantics usually, but I’m!!!!!!!!!!! super glad you like my stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:

How Kuroo and Bokuto started dating? Sorry if you’ve already said it, I just found your blog (didn’t find the faq, I’m on mobile) and loved the tattoo au.

Thank you!!! And it’s!!! okay it’s not in the faq anyway, but I did draw it a while ago!

Do you have any favorite bakushima artists?

YAH! I have a whole bunch tbh, but if I have to pick my most fave it’s @syblatortue, definitely, she’s amazing in everything (blog’s n sfw so careful about that).  I’m also a huge huge huge fan of @gonecrabbin, @bakushima @losassen and the couple arts @m-arci-a and @l1ng have done left me really really effin soft so special mention to them too, but my fav is syb for sure. Absolute fav writer is @newamsterdame by the way, in case writers were included in the ask! Right after followed by @kiribakus god do they leave me weak

Anon said: 

What do you think of the hc where bakugou has to wear hearing aids in the future bc of the explosions and stuff?

The secret is that I’m always up for disabled characters, so deaf or hoh Bakugou are A+++ in my book and always welcome as an idea and as an AU – but as far as canon goes, I don’t think that’s likely? That’s just my opinion, obviously, and you’re free to see it how you want to! But just like I’m not a fan of the idea that Denki could permanently damage himself through his own electricity by simply using his quirk, I don’t think Bakugou could suffer unintentional harm from his own quirk either – his body is built to deal with it, after all! Just like it’s specified that the skin on his palms is harder to avoid getting hurt from the explosions, I think his ears are built to deal with the constant detonation noise too… 

Of course if he were to really overdo it, that could happen! Overusing a muscle is gonna make you hurt it too, after all, and Bakugou himself told us that quirks work just like muscles do. But as far as “simply using his quirk will in the end make him hoh or deaf” goes, I don’t think that’s likely!

Anon said:

I love your art, it gives him tje feels. Also, I like how you included Mineta in Denki’s friend. Always thought that not adressing the issue of them being canonly friends was hypocritical from the fandom.

I wouldn’t call it an issue, but I do find it weird when people pretend their friendship isn’t a thing and I really don’t wanna do the same. Thank you, by the way!!! I’m glad you like my stuff!!!!

Anon said:

One day theres just going to be a completely casual, fluffy arc like the name choosing one where everything is Fine and Good and then they’re gonna drop Kiri’s backstory and it is going to /hurt/

That would be horrible – but honestly I’m still clinging to the idea that we could get his backstory by the end of this arc? Like, you know how we got Bakugou’s origins after his fight with Deku? And it served more as an opening to Bakugou’s growth than as a way to solve the whole issue in one arc, I feel like something like that could happen with Kiri. Maybe after we’re done with this arc we’re gonna see him in the hospital, and maybe he’s gonna talk about some of his issues or thoughts or something like that? And while at it Horikoshi will show us his backstory too, and then the actual dealing with his past is gonna start. Maybe. Who knows.

Anon said:

so i have this headcanon– kirishima has a love-hate relationship with action movies, because on one hand they’re such a terribly unrealistic portrayal of fights BUT on the other hand he likes explosions a lot because they’re manly as shit (also because bakugou).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, but also I imagine that he’d go through a phase of “everything is wrong and suddenly I see it and I can’t enjoy this anymore” and then decide that it’s a movie about giant robots and monsters and explosions anyway so whatever it’s not like it was beliavable to begin with (probably everyone feels the same about that in the class, lbr haha)

Anon said:

Is it okay to tag you in post that remind us of you?

Sure!!! And I’ll for sure see them always, but I can’t promise I’ll actually reblog them and when I like them it’s gonna be with my main blog’s url! The eventual reblog is also gonna be on my main blog – if you’re fine with that, go for it!! I love knowing people thought about me hahahaha

what are your thoughts about bakugou and midoriya’s relationship? platonic, i mean

I live and die for it, every part of the manga in which that relationship is shown progressing is between my favorite parts of the manga and I’ve reread them a hundred times and cried over them way more than necessary – the battle trial one? yes, the end of terms exam? absolutely yes holy shit, the post-license exam fight? god yes fuck me that’s my absolute fav, the rescue arc? shit yes between all the reasons why that arc’s my fave the change in the deku/baku relationship is definitely a worthy of note one

It’s an interesting relationship, a painful one that’s making both of them grow so so so much, a rivalry they both need to better each other and keep each other straight on the path to become two great, all-around heroes – I’m not sure they’ll ever end up having the type of relationship Izuku has with Todoroki or Bakugou with Kirishima, I don’t think it’s possible for them to be friends like that, they’re just too different to properly fit like that and to avoid stepping on each other’s toes every single day of their lives they’d have to change their core personalities too much, but they did end up being able to coexist (Bakugou’s even giving Deku tips!!!) and I do think they’ll be able to cooperate and support each other in the end. If one day they’ll be able to make fun of each other in a friendly manner and egg each other on and be honest with each other without it escalating into a full blown fight I’d truly be happy, that’s probably my main dream for this whole manga. For them to have a healthy rivalry, one in which they can maybe even laugh together. I think it might happen, I’m waiting for it to happen

Anon said:

Hi Fran! I’m obsessed with your BakuShimaNari work. Here’s a cute thought to hopefully cheer you up a bit while you’re unable to draw: they’re all in their early 20s and Denki likes to poke/smooth out the little crease between Bakugo’s eyebrows and tease him about getting wrinkles early from all the scowling he does. Bakugo flicks him in the nose and says he’s starting to get crows feet from always grinning like an idiot.

Oh my god. Oh my g o d this is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Oh my g OD I’m just imagining them doing that and Kiri in the background watching them like they’re most precious thing in the world I’m dying rip me this just made my whole life thank you so much anon *sob*

Anon said:

You are wonderful. That BakuKiriKami art just made me cry again after this chapter but I so needed it. I hope your hand heals up quickly!

I hope so too!!!! And thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it!!! ;A; tho I’m sorry for having made you cry rip 

Anon said:

Maybe Kirishima’s hair is like haru from fruits basket, it changes colour when it reaches a certain length, and he decided to either dye the roots to match the long part or the long part to match the roots.

I’m effin laughing my ass off imagining the “you’ll never convince me that hair is natural” scene but with Iida I’m crying

But seriously if his hair did something fancy like that I don’t think the current Kirishima would try to hide it? Hair that naturally grows like that is flashy!

Anon said:

KiriBaku, KamiJirou, AshidoSero, u feel me? I personally ship TodoMomo and IzuOcha as well but u know each to their own ❤

tbh I ship all the ships mentioned in this ask to at least a certain degree, so yeah, I definitely feel you haha

Anon said:

Fran can i ask why you ship BokuTeruKuroo ? like i understand why you ship BoKuroo, they are friend and so funny and cute with each other but do they have interaction with Terushima ? because i watch the anime and only start reading the manga and there’s no interaction between them in it

What a question lmao no, no they never interact with Teru, it’s a crack ship haha I don’t really have a reason to ship it tbh, I just think Teru’s personality would fit nicely with Bo and Kuroo – Teru’s one of my fave characters in Haikyuu and I like shipping my faves around, but he’s interacted with only his teammates and Karasuno so everything else is just crack… I like a whole bunch of Teru ships tbh, bokuroteru is the one I’ve drawn the most for a bit by accident and a bit because they’re the ones with the most entertaining possible dynamics, to me? They’re a bunch of excited silly kids, that’s fun!

Anon said:

I am literally in tears over the last chapter when will Horikoshi step away from my sunshine boy and let him rest? This isn’t what I meant when I said I wanted Kirishima to have a bigger role in this arc

;-; boi do I feel this ask 

(I still want more of him tho, last time he hadn’t been around for a few weeks I was a complete mess, pls don’t take him away from me again Hori ;A;)

Anon said:

Fraannnnn why would you do this I had enough feelings about THIS EXACT SCENARIO and you had to go and make me feel more with your beautiful art How could you

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m taking this as you’ve liked it!!! Which makes me happy tbh haha though I’m sorry for the more pain, that wasn’t my intention #oops thank you anyway, tho!! ❤

Anon said:

i wanted to cry bc of ch 143, kiri was amazing and fat was amazing and and …. but really though …hori just doesn’t wanna give it to us, does he ?

I don’t think I’ll ever have Kirishima’s backstory at this point. I’m giving up. I’ll just make up my own version of it. Kirishima’s had a beautiful past with a lot of happiness a great family with loving parents and both older and younger siblings that love him more than they love air, he’s got three pet turtles and a dog and the only reason why he had his hair dyed black was because he went through a really intense goth phase. That’s it, that’s my version, Hori can keep the sadness for himself

(…not please gimme the actual backstory already I’m dying)

Anon said:

U ok after ch143, Fran? ‘cause I’m not… 😭

…how can anyone love Kirishima and be okay after 143 tbh ;-;

Anon said:

your answers to the ask for what would baku get the others ommmmmmg. fran you are AMAZING!! >///<

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m happy you liked those omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!

Anon said:

I feel so bad abt the new chap bc my boy kiri is gonna hate himself so much abt being “’useless”’ even if he wasnt and oh goodness he’s going to beat himself up for this forever… i thought hori was gonna give him a sudden ’bout of strength & realization’ to beat the enemy, but instead hes getting quite the realistic(which is good but sad) outcome from the fight… hes gonna be so mad with himself while recovering boy pls no u were great ;~;

I really hope something’ll happen and he won’t feel like that, but who knows ;-; on one side it would mean that his character arc still isn’t over, which is a lot more Kiri for me and that’s great, but on the other please don’t make him suffer anymore ;;–;;

Anon said:

Though it was kinda ‘forced’, thank you for drawing mineta. I really liked seeing him in your art style. He’s perverted but like Denki he’s a good kid as well, too bad most people have him blacklisted. Hopefully that will change in the future. Thanks again ;D

You’re most welcome! As I said once already I don’t really care for Mineta, so including him in stuff when it makes logical sense to isn’t much of a problem for me hah maybe, if I’m lucky, one day he’ll grow as a character and out of the walking trope he is, and that might just mean I’ll start drawing him more by himslef too haha

Anon said:

i havent been involved in a fandom for 4 years but now i am and its ur fault with ur gay boys i cant handle all it, fk my life. (ps. love how u draw denki, his hair so floofy, bless u)
