Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:
I can totally picture these sweet boys going on dates around the city during their lunch breaks! They both overwork and love being heroes so much, but they never forget to carve out time for each other, even if it means stolen kisses over their favorite ice cream or playful short rendezvous at the beach.
Social Media: Radiant
Introduction:
Hiya, I’m Radiant! I adore these two sunshine boys who are so strong and passionate in everything they do, who fought through their insecurity to put smiles on everyone’s faces, who are always looking to help. I just think kirideku are so cute together and I want to see them make each other smile!
Experience:
Learning to Love: A Todoroki Shouto Zine (Writing Mod), Sparks: A Trans BKDKBK Zine (Co-Writing Mod), writing contributor to various zines and events
Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:
I think KiriDeku would have an awesome time going rock climbing together!! First at a rock wall, then a second date mountain climbing! They’d hype each other up, compete to ring the bell at the top first, catch each other if they slipped, and come up with all these silly limitations like “your feet can only touch dark blue rocks, your hands can only touch green”
Graphic Mod: Inkdheart
Introduction:
Hai hai!! Inkie here! I'm a neurospicy, queer creative that's also a multishipper! I'm in way too many fandoms (DBZ, Hetalia, and MHA mostly) which means crossovers are a thing and I LOVE them!
Experience:
Learning to Love (Intern Art Mod), Celestibex's Creative Galaxy (Graphics Mod)
Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:
A nice stroll/hike through nature fits them very well! I love the idea of them enjoying the sun and outdoors together
Writing Mod: Quirky
Introduction:
Hi there! I'm Quirky and I am a multi-shipper with a huge soft spot for Izuku and Eijirou. These are my sunshine babies, and they deserve the world.
Experience:
Kacchako Week 2024 (Social Media Mod Team), BakuDeku Big Bang 2024 (Intern/Writing Mod) and Language of Love: TodoKiri 2025 (Writing Mod)
Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:
I love the idea of these two being on a picnic, enjoying each other's company and having a big wicker basket filled with their favorite snacks. I'm thinking it'd be an excuse for them to lay on a blanket and stare up at the stars after they're done eating.
