i like mako's character best when he's not taken 100% seriously
#lok#i'll elaborate#i like mako a lot i promise#okay so he and bolin have this tragic backstory. (the same one mind you) where they grew up on the streets after their parents were killed#their personalities diverge strongly because of how they grew up. mako was the oldest so he had to become super serious and prove that he#was in control of everything and could make sure that his little brother was as safe as he could be#and bolin grew up aware of this and developed a strong sunshiney attitude in order to combat the leeching force of homelessness and poverty#and trauma. he put himself in charge of his brother's emotional state while mako looked after the physical#so how this ties back to me enjoying mako being joked at?#it's about healing#see he's learned this uber-serious no-fun brooding attitude. a step to healing and a bit of character development for him is just...#learning how to relax a little more. learning how to let himself be seen as fallible by people he trusts not to remove opportunity from him#mako rarely admits to being wrong because he was never allowed to be. being wrong meant consequences. for him and for bolin#i think it's good for him to slowly learn that he can have moments to be as clumsy and stupid as anyone else out there#and to have the ability to shrug it off and laugh abt it is a powerful one#anyway tldr he's the kind of guy i want to see pulling a push door
