Like he means well by dating Korra and Asami but the way they interact reminds me of how I interact with my inner circle. Like I find it completely normal and fun to be there for my friends and hold them in a platonic way and how Mako acts with the Krew is extremely platonic. He’s just trying to tell them what he thinks is best and he’s listening as best her can and he’s just there and ready to support them all. And it would make sense as to why he was so “weird” in his relationships, because the thought of having someone so close that wasn’t Bolin seemed amazing. Maybe the reason he ended up breaking up with the two was more then differences and Korra sweeping Asami off her feet but maybe he’d realize, “This, This isn’t what I think this is.”
So my headcanon is that he’s Ace/Aro/Aroace, and Wu is his cool Homo buddy whose just “Actually! You could be Ace or something! And that’s pretty cool if you are!” And Mako, who probably has no clue that the LGBTQ is not a sandwich, would just be more and more confused as Wu continues to explain and then it finally clicks like “Oh.” “Didja figure it out!” “Yeah uh, wow this makes a lot of sense.” So come next Pride Parade as he watches his Ex’s laugh and kiss while covered in blue, pink, purple and yellow, pink, blue. He fixes his scarf to show the purple, white, grey, and black pin as Bolin and Wu run around grabbing everything rainbow they can find.
