Never give up! Seriously. There’s joy to be found in tiny fandoms.
You reminded me… I once wrote a Moonlight story! https://archiveofourown.org/works/1624136
So I Guess I might stop posting Moonlight (2007) stuff here for awhile the stuff I post kind of tends to get ignored and that kind of brings me down (yes I know the show is almost 20 years old and only had 1 season The fact that there are people like me still talking about it is kind of crazy) I do plan on working on fandom projects (fanart crafts my Beth Turner cosplay and trying to find more Promo commercial videos to add to my 100+ video archive) But I've grown kind of numb about posting that here and might just stick to twitter 🤷♀️
Maybe i might focus on another show with only 1/2 seasons that also has a dead/forgotten fandom but we will see
Just to clear up any confusion about canon on Hawaii Five-0, I will list the facts here:
Steve's eyes are blue hazel. (Alex calls them hazelly blue.)
Steve's parents are John and Doris.
Danny's parents are Eddie and Clara. His siblings are Matt, Stella (Eric's mother), and Bridgett.
In April 1992 (Steve was 16 and Mary was 10), Doris faked her death.
John told Mary and Steve that she was killed by a drunk driver.
Steve doesn't find out that his mother's "death" was actually murder until 1x11. Mary doesn't find out until somewhere between 1x11 and 1x13. She finds the pictures of the car bomb in 1x11, and in 1x13, we find out she was kidnapped because she had started asking questions about their mom's death.
After Doris' "death," Mary was sent to live with their Aunt Deb. Steve was sent to the Army and Navy Academy (ANA) in Carlsbad, California. Joe White (aka "Uncle Joe") helped get Steve into the school.
After graduating from ANA, Steve went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, for 4 years.
After graduating from Annapolis, Steve was with Naval Intelligence for 5 years, and then he joined the SEALs for 6 years.
Steve is fluent in Mandarin and Hawaiian, and he can speak conversational Korean and Japanese. He understands Pashto, but he says he is rusty.
H: You're holding yourself responsible because the two of you busted up, huh?
S: Yeah... something like that.
H: Starsky, that's ridiculous. Helen wouldn't let it happen that way. I don't know how to break this to you, but you're just not the kind of man a woman's going to kill herself over. I don't care what your mother says, you're not Rudolph Valentino.
S: My mother never said I was Rudolph Valentino.
H: No?
S: No... Said I was more the Paul Muni type.
Hutch laughs. Starsky grins, looking a bit embarrassed.
For those who don’t know, Paul Muni got his start in Yiddish theatre. He was a pretty handsome guy.
one of the few known stills from "Vergißmeinnicht", a german show aired back in January 11, 1968, where Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were handcuffed , and the host Peter Frankenfeld was trying to look for the keys to release them .(sadly now deleted and lost forever)
Trying to imagine how people would feel if, on H50, either Danny or Steve was explicitly written as bisexual by way of his going out with another (third) male character (not a regular) who’d appeared a couple of times five seasons earlier.
Would fans have accepted it or seen the third man as a hedge or fandom-breaker or something because it wasn’t a buddy romance.
Not-So-Butch-Cassidy and the Sonny Kid: Zachariah (1971)
If you’re in the mood for some retro queer subtextual loveliness with an anti-toxic-masculinity message, watch this film trailer and then run and get yourself a copy of Zachariah (1971), starring a very pretty Don Johnson and a very pretty John Rubinstein being very pretty together, on horses. It’s a slasher chick’s wet dream.
