meggannn:roxanneritchi:And I find it hilarious and sad and also really hilarious that, canonically, thus far, the only person who really gets along with Mako is his brother (who plays the role of diplomat, smoothing over ruffled feathers and keeping folks happy), and it’s not necessarily that Mako is a jerk so much as—well, he’s kind of a jerk, but I also think he’s just not … good at people. He’s socially awkward and he doesn’t understand how to really interact with others and he’s probably kind of shy which he covers up by being rude and he thinks “not bad” is a genuinely effusive compliment and when Korra thinks he’s being a dick his instinctive response is WELL… WHATEVER!!!! I’M GOING TO MY ROOM, GOOD-BYESocializing is hard when you’re a dweebbot. :(#seriously i don’t get how people think he’s like a super smooth and suave sex god #like did you not see how socially inept he was in just the first episode he appears in#he’s genuinely trying to be nice because he thinks that ‘not bad’ would be a compliment #but korra’s like fuck you #and he doesn’t know what to do or how to respond to that so he just walks away #watch him get the hots for korra #and he is terrified of even being within like 2 feet of her #’fuck fuck what do i do what do i do’ #’don’t fuck this up mako don’t look at her weird or touch her or talk to her or breathe by her’ #’she’ll think you’re an idiot’ #’oh wait’ -- source link
