( if the name mako means anything to you, you might be naturally interested in a video shown under his name. however! if you know what he looks like, you'll be surprised to see a man on screen who's ... just a little bit off. definitely made in mako's image — his brows are drawn on with a comical arch, his hair in cool guy disarray, a red scarf bedecking his neck in the model of utter fashion. he maintains a pose of graceful badassery, chin pointed upwards, mouth set in a pout as if he's never had any amount of satisfaction in his entire life. it's. pretty obvious this man isn't mako. even with all the showy antics, this is clearly a parody of itself.

from off screen, there comes korra's voice, although she's putting her best announcer affliction to it, deep and dramatic. )

Have you ever wondered to yourself ... where can I go, to find the perfect man? ( showy gestures!! "mako" huffs, entirely put upon. ) Well, look no further! He's here, he's single, and he's waiting for you to make a move. Hey, you — handsome thing! Why don't you tell us all a little something about yourself.

( dramatically, he turns his head away, hand moving up to sift through his tousled black locks. )

I'm Mako. I'm so cool, but I also have a secret soft side. ( hand dramatically on his chest. ) I've always been married to justice, but sometimes Lady Law isn't quite enough to fill the void inside. ( 'Mako's' eyes flicker with feigned vulnerability. ) I'm looking for that one special person in my life.

That's right! You heard it here, folks. He's smart, he's pretty, he's ... uhhhhh. ( floundering, "mako" leans out of frame just to whisper, 'tell them i'm beefy!' ) Uh! Yes. He's so beefy.

( the frames changes to the upside down image of the avatar herself, half cut off and uneasily close to the screen. )

All applicants contact Korra or Bolin or respond here and not Mako directly, thanks, bye!

Since we’re all feeling a little under the weather this month, I thought of a way we could still have fun while we’re rotting away in our beds from boredom: a choose-your-own-adventure game.

I understand that this might be a new concept for some of you, so I’ll explain how the game works before we get started. I’ll give you a single prompt to start with. Your job is to reply to my prompt and wait for more information from me. I’ll then give you another prompt based on what actions you took in your response… in other words, it’s a bit like collaborative storytelling. However, only one writer can establish the setting, and that’s me.

Got it?

Now… let’s begin.

Weary traveler! The spooky, demon castle that you had set out for when you started your journey to slay its lord months ago is upon you. It rests atop high cliffs, its darkened towers and turrets looming over the forest surrounding it. It appears to be guarded only by a drawbridge. But be careful! It hovers above treacherous waters. Try not to fall in.

How do you wish to proceed?

A riddle for everyone: "what's something you can show, but can't see?"

Think of it as a distraction from whatever that's going around, so take your time. I don't expect an answer right away. [Because there isn't just one correct answer.]

Due to Chelseamod's ineptness with Dreamwidth communities, the tag post is now awkwardly floating around amongst your entries.

VIEW IT, IN ALL OF ITS GLORY.
