there is so much shit they say about mako in the commentaries and art books that isn’t in canon and honestly i want to bottle it and get drunk on all of it, because it’s this weirdly rich life, both internally and externally. mako made big gang busts. he was in the newspapers and maybe even on the cover of magazines. he’s somewhat famous enough to be requested by wu. he was not assigned to bodyguard duty, but requested. mako is really good at cardio. after he and korra broke up, he started reading lots of books, became twice the nerd, and “he’s a lot smarter now.” mako copied iroh ii’s hairstyle because he liked it and thought it looked cool. mako didn’t trust or like kai at first because “it takes one to know one” (which is just like, mako please forgive yourself, and also love yourself.) lightning bolt zolt taught mako how to lightning bend. the leader of the triple threats taught young mako, who would later grow up to become a well-known triad-busting detective, how to lightning bend. like. what is this? where is it coming from? why do they have so much fucking mako headcanon??
