a makorrasance truther

I have a thing for mixing my current obsessions. Big time Mako apologist.

[messymosaic]

I’m a Makorra apologist.

I knew - I knew - they weren’t end game. I knew before I even started watching the series. So imagine my horror when I reached the end of Book One.

As soon as that bitch said “I love you too” I knew - I knew - I’d be swimming to the depths of the ocean to board this ship.

I’m the James Cameron to this Titanic. I’ll never let it rest.

"I'll always have your back, Korra."

"I'll hold you to that, city boy. Seal it with a kiss?"

"You're on."

Biggest thanks and gratitude to the amazing @alexandria-monik-art who made sure to take her time and craft this romantic, cozy art of these two cuties. Christmas came early this year and I'll treasure this beautiful piece forever.

[imagineyourotp]

Imagine your OTP lying next to each other in bed, staring at the ceiling, embarrassed and slightly alarmed by the wild, intense, filthy sex they just had.

paging all makorra writers

[seavver]

Without further ado, this is my favourite couple and I’ll draw them again.

[messymosaic]

OH MY GOD??? This is the REAL B4 Ending

[messymosaic]

So this popped up on my pinterest and it has triggered the argument which I am about to present to you today:

All Too Well was written from Mako’s POV.

And I’m not even kidding. It’s canon. I have compelling evidence so blatant even a non-swiftie could see it!

PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR EYES OPENED 👁️👁️

I walked through the door with you, the air was cold / But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow

This was Korra welcoming Mako to the South Pole which – you guessed it – is cold AF. It was the first time Mako knew what home felt like.

And I left my scarf there

And who famously wore a scarf and controversially left it behind??

We're singin' in the car, getting lost upstate / You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me

Here, Mako is explaining why Korra drives the way she does. She was just a lil distracted okay?? She’s not a bad driver because she has never done anything wrong in her life!

Well, maybe we got lost in translation / Maybe I asked for too much / But maybe this thing was a masterpiece till you tore it all up / Runnin' scared, I was there

This is Mako succinctly describing their break up, but the real villain here is the adults who let two teenagers bear the brunt of political pressures. Even though their relationship was very stressful near the end, Mako is mindful of the good times. He still believes what they had was a masterpiece 😢 It’s almost like applying pressure to carbon turns it into a diamond

I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here

This man wrote her dozens of letters and he never even knew if she read them 😢😢 he’s a crumpled up piece of paper lying here unread

And I was never good at tellin' jokes

He really isn’t 😭 but you can bet she laughed at them all when they were fucken

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?

They are literally firebending twins.

He 100% taught her how to do that. And is there another firebender (flame) from the water tribe (blue)??? This line is as poetic as it is specific.

Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

This love affair LITERALLY maimed him.

Need I remind you of the humongous scar on his left arm?? We can sit here and pretend that he did it as a responsible citizen of the world but that is a LIE. He did it for HER. It’s always his devotion to Korra that leads him to do the stupidest fuckin thing.

Just between us, do you remember it all too well?

And that’s the question he’ll always ask himself because he remembers every glittering moment in their 6 month pressure cooker. Every feeling was magnified and intense but it was real. Was it real for her too?

Just between us, I remember it all too well.

BITCH— 🥺🥺 he will never forget and neither will I!

I created this tumblr when I started shipping Makorra and it’s been two years?? I feel like I’ve aged a decade

Percy telling Vex that he is in love with her!!!!!!!!!!! do you know what a dream this ship is??? do you understand that they are everything a shipper could ask for in a pairing???? do they know that they are a perfectly written romance?????

[messymosaic]

AAAAAAHHHHH

[messymosaic]

I have three (3) fluffy WIPs that I can’t finish because as soon as something sweet happens I kinda cringe because it’s so improbable so I leave it

then a few days later, I read what I wrote it’s like “It’s actually not that bad??”

[girlwiththeglow]

i have a craving for your touch, your kiss...

Commission request done by @sevrinve

Makorra in a passionate embrace because they just can't keep their hands to themselves.

I can't say enough of this gorgeous piece, and the wonderful tiny details in their clothing (not to mention that kiss, right?) so I'll leave it here for you guys to feast your eyes. Please follow this artist and check out her work!! Thank you again so much for bringing their chemistry to life! <3

THE HAIR GRAB??? THIS IS A ROMANCE NOVEL COVER I SWEAR

[messymosaic]

Since I’m already editing comic panels and gaslighting myself, I’m gonna do the same for GIFs.

This is live footage of Mako and Korra wearing disguises so they can go on a date:

Korra hiding from the photographers, Mako pissed at the thought of getting spotted

They’re the power couple of their time, the paparazzi just won’t leave them alone!!! For Mako’s birthday, he just wants to enjoy his girlfriend in peace, so they wear disguises and tour the city like normal plebeians 😭😭 It’s so them

[messymosaic]

Hey, interested in your opinion about this.

Do you think Mako kissing Asami back was in character? When Korra came back from a war, this is what she would walk into. Don't you think it was a degrading thing to do Korra?

The fact that he is friends with a person who would act so desperately selfish says a lot about how he doesn't respect Korra.

I'm not sure how Makorra would work as long as he doesn't realize that. No self respecting woman would put up with that.

(I don't buy the "vulnerable Asami" excuse, nor do I think it justifies what happened)

The way this is a reach 🤌 so if I understand correctly, Asami instigated the kiss with Mako and somehow it’s Mako’s fault? It continually amazes me how Mako gets the brunt of the blame for the love triangle when it’s mostly Korra and Asami playing tug of war with him as the rope.

Vulnerable Asami? Try vulnerable Mako. What the fuck. He’s raw from a break up and Asami lunges for the attack??? That situation is at least 70% her fault.

Why is Mako friends with Asami? You mean why is Korra friends with Asami? The two of them giggling like besties in Book 3 like they didn’t thoroughly fuck with Mako’s head and actively disrespect each other’s relationships.

Why does the blame fall squarely on Mako here, when really it’s male writers blatantly not understanding female dynamics. Feminism? Maturity?? If I catch a bitch kissing my boyfriend that bitch better get out of my house. Best believe she will never be trusted again.

The writers wanted a Beautiful Liar moment so bad where two girls bond over being victimized by the same man. EXCEPT in both cases the girls instigated the betrayal (Korra kissed Mako while he’s dating Asami, Asami kissed Mako when the break up is so raw it’s not even pasteurized)

Pictured: NOT Korra and Asami

If there is any justice in the world (and Bryke knew how to write romance) Asami and Korra would’ve fought each other like the catty bitches they truly are.

I don’t even care about defending Mako or Makorra I just want to highlight that the Korra-Asami friendship makes ZERO SENSE. They’re so fucking toxic omg. And now they’re dating??? Based on their track record with respecting boundaries: good fucking luck with that.

Then you get Mako sacrificing himself in book 4 and people going “he should’ve died”, why??? Because two girls tossed him around like a frisbee?? Because you’ve got showrunners who can’t write romance???

Korra would be lucky to deserve Mako after all that. That is my core Makorra belief. It’s a fucked up girlfriend/pathetically in love boyfriend who’s too good for her dynamic!

This reply went off the rails but in my defense, that love triangle is a scourge on humanity. I’m not mad at anon I’m mad at the abysmal romantic development that mks have been trying to rectify with fics for years.

[messymosaic]

My new goal in life is to write something so fluffy, no one can call it angst. I'm a romcom fiend and it's time to live up to my name!

[messymosaic]

im having unimaginable difficulty doing this— petitioning god to give me a boyfriend so i can open the fluff floodgates!!!!

Or at least make my kinda crush like my story??? so i can delude myself??? omgggggg
