@hollypunkers I am fully on board the wumakeska express

[exhaustedhomo]

i can’t stop thinking about @hollypunkers’s wumakeska so i decided to do the plausible thing and align them as parts of my favourite john mulaney bit.

Lin speaking directly to camera: The thing about youth culture is... I don’t understand it.

i have no fucking clue where makeska came from but count me in

[hollypunkers]

Mako and Eska, sitting in complete silence for thirty minutes as the waiter at the restaurant gets progressively more nervous as these two powerful benders don’t say a word or make a single facial expression until the literal end of the date, thinking this is the most tense thing he’s ever born witness to.

Eska, paying the bill: “I am paying because you are poor and I am wealthy. I am also demonstrating to you my worth as a provider, as money and power are attractive and I possess an abundance of both.”

Mako: “It’s working.”

Eska: “This has been a good date.”

Mako: “Yep.”

Eska: “I felt like something was missing, however.”

Eska and Mako at the same time: “Our brothers.”

[hollypunkers]

AU idea where Mako dates Eska instead and they literally never seem to have a good time together and are always frowning, barely talk, Mako flat-out refuses to do anything Eska asks him to and true to form Eska is literally never without her brother; it seems like a trainwreck, but Korra, Asami, and Bolin have no idea how to bring it up because when asked about it Mako just shrugs, they get engaged and everyone freaks out because what the fuck

Any adult, probably Tenzin: “Are you two..... sure about this?”

Mako, arms crossed, looking sourly into the distance: “We’re in love.”

Eska, hands folded stoicly at her side, completely deadpan: “Very in love.”

[hollypunkers]

korrasami and bopal: [a few big bumps in the road but overall are wholesome love stories]

mako dating some of the most influential people in the world in a row, then ending up in a chaotic polyam relationship with two of those people: I am fucking crazy. but I am free.

I’m losing my mind over this

[hollypunkers]

Oh, but now I need to know– who made the first move? I feel like it’d be Eska (“You amuse me. I will make you mine.”) but also this ship has thrown everything I thought I knew out the window. (also sorry if I sent this twice, my phone glitched and I have no idea if it went through the first time!)

Okay, so wait, yes, I got it. Eska makes the move that makes Makeska into Wumakeska, as established, but Makeska was all Mako

This is an au universe where Makorra never happened, but Mako and Asami still broke up, so, Mako is at the festival and Korra is there, clearly trying to talk to him, and he feels weird about the implications of that and his friendship with Asami so he ducks away from her and grabs the arm of the first girl he sees.

Eska: You are holding my arm.

Mako, having no idea how significant this moment is: Yes. Want to... play a game?

An identical twin Mako hadn’t seen before popping into view behind the girl who’s arm he’s holding’s shoulder: This man. He is flirting with you.

Eska, thoughtfully: Hm. That is acceptable.

Mako, dragging her toward the nearest booth: Sure. Me too.

...

Eska, after Mako wins her a duck she immediately passes to Desna: You are very handsome in the face.

Mako, blushing: Uh, you are too.

Eska: Yes. I am. You are very observant. I find you pleasing, you belong to me now.

Mako, who doesnt know she’s Korra’s cousin: Ah- oh. That actually works.

Eska: Like a servant.

Mako, correcting her: Boyfriend.

Eska, observing him carefully: Very well.

...

Korra, Asami, and Bolin catching up to them: Mako!

Korra: What are you doing with my cousin?

Mako, realizing he make a grave error but is already in too deep: *indecisive fear freezing him in place*

Eska: Korra, this is my new boyfriend. Mako.

Korra: ...

Korra: ... I LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES-!
