#tdbkdk and their phones:
- katsuki never answers his personal cell. literally never. he texts back once every three weeks because, "what's the point if i'm gonna see you tomorrow anyways," and when he does answer, it's always one word or one letter or this emoji: 🖕
- people start to realize this very soon, and everyone just knows to call izuku to ask anything katsuki-adjacent. his schedule, his preferences, his whereabouts. izuku's got it covered.
- speaking of izuku, he is that person who answers so fast you start wondering if he manifested a 345th quirk just for the purpose of texting back
- if you call in the middle of the night and ask for help, he /will/ come to you, no matter what
- shouto takes his phone away on his days off because otherwise he gets so dragged into various requests and favours and trauma-dumps that he forgets to rest
- shouto is very diligent about answering phone calls, except when he's asleep. when he's asleep only god can reach him.
- shouto also reads every single text right away, but he is terrible at replying. literally never replies or holds a conversation unless specifically asked a question.
- denki and sero start teaching him about emojis and memes and reaction gifs. he has a phase where he exclusively answers using those, until katsuki threatens to explode his phone if he "sends that fucking cat sticker /one more time/"

shouto goes on humanitarian rescue missions abroad to help with natural disasters like forest fires and floods for a few years.
it’s hard to stay in contact with his old friends and not feel left out. they’ll always be like his family, but sometimes talking to them /hurts/
because he wants to be there. he doesn’t want to miss their birthdays and their engagements. he doesn’t want to send his condolences in a text message or grainy phone call. he wants to hug them so badly he aches.
so he withdraws into himself. it’s easier to miss them when he doesn’t have to think about them all the time. he stops checking all the group chats he’s in.
all his friends message him individually and bombard his phone, but he keeps them at bay with excuses of being busy.
i talk about painfully pining!shouto a lot because shouto angst is a delicious flavour and also because snow’s pining!shouto has broken my brain permanently, but what i don’t talk about enough is confident, matter-of-fact shouto.
shouto is such a deep character, and both these almost polarizing versions of him can be glimpsed through canon. he is so self-conscious and worried about where he belongs when it comes to his family, but when it’s his friends? he has no doubts when it comes to them.
he feels loved by them and loves easily in return. katsuki’s brash attitude doesn’t bother him or make him question their friendship. he has made good friends in momo, izuku, kiri, sero, and most of his class.
shouto has many tiny deku and dynamight figures on his desk at endeavour’s agency and looks at them whenever he misses them. he runs a secret dynadeku account where he arranges them in different positions and posts the pictures.
the account gets enough traction that izuku and katsuki take notice of it and immediately recognize shouto’s desk in the background.
they never say anything to him because it’s just a silly thing he does, but they do look at the account from time to time just to see what shouto’s up to. he updates it more often than his own hero page.
izuku imitates katsuki and all might, and also invents new moved that are inspired by them.
mirio wants to smile the same way as all might.
katsuki wants to win the same way as all might.
(sensing a theme here…)
with regards to ochako specifically, she has acknowledged that she wants to be more than just someone who is trying to copy deku. that she wants to be her own hero.
Hanahaki AU with PH!Katsuki and QL!Izuku. It becomes public knowledge that top 10 hero Katsuki has Hanahaki, but he won’t say who it is for.
Izuku, who hasn’t seen Katsuki since middle school but has kept tabs on him and is a big fan/very proud of him, is devastated.
Media reports keep speculating on Katsuki’s condition getting worse over months, and a fansite pops up, dedicated to posting detailed confessions from fans in hopes of being the one to cure Dynamight of his illness.
