For the tumblr game: Danno

Thank you, Meri! ♥️

So, Danny...

Sexuality Headcanon:

The same as Steve's. Ever since I watched the show I see them both as "not hetero, not gay, not bi but the secret X thing" 😉

At the begining I felt they're aromantic (and forced so much by the show writers to woo/date/marry ladies) and I still feel they're definitely platonic when they interact with other people. But to each other - they're super romantic.

They're best friends and they're the special ones to each other. They feel (real) attraction/love only to each other. So I headcanon both Danny and Steve as definitely uniromantic and The Pilot is a very special episode to me cause the scene in the garage is like kind of "Geez, I'm interested. In THAT way. For the first time in my life I really fucking feel... Geez!" (also: "Gosh, I'm in love. With this irritating handsome guy? Gooood, Jeeeeesus, Maaaary, Anyone?" 😂).

So, uniromantic. And they're the first and only characters in my fandom life whom I see in this way 🙂

Gender Headcanon:

Man. Cis.

A ship I have with said character:

Only Steve, only McDanno ♥️

A BROTP I have with said character:

In some way it's still Steve. Best friends forever - being married doesn't change it 😉

But speaking about completely platonic brotp: Chin. Chin is like an older brother. But Lou and Jerry and Kame, all boys in Ohana are true brothers ♥️ And ladies! ♥️ Kono is his sister so much! Mary too. Abby. I also love his brotp with Amy (Meka's wife). And of course Gracie! His daughter is his brotp. His Big Friend!

What I see on screen is also brotp-to-be: Danny & Sang Min. Seriously, both are Daddies, they love their kids so much, they'll do everything for them. They understand each other as fathers (scene in the prison and in Danny's car/on the beach ♥️). They both are loyal to Ohana. They ARE Ohana. And both are sassy and silver tongued 😂 (just imagine poor Stevie with these two 😂😂😂). Both are Masters of Dorkness. In Sarcasm they trust.

And sometimes they both are BAMF! Sang once was on the dark side and Danny... when he fights for victims or his Ohana, for Grace and Steve especially, when he's furious or in vigilante mood, yeah sometimes he's close to darkness, he knows the Fire (like in that episode with Marco Reyes).

And they both would give Steve their livers (Danny gave his part and Sang: "I woulda offered you my liver, McGurrett, but we both know it’s no god" 😄).

Oh, and Danny is from Jersey, Sang is from China but they both love Hawaii and it's their home forever.

A NOTP I have with said character:

Any person who is not Steve 😉 Speaking about show's canon ones: Melissa (I like her but she and Danny are veeery NOTP), Gabby (l love her much but again: NOTP with Danny). Other ladies he dated. But especially: Rachel (sorry, I'm allergic to abusers). She and her family were highly toxic to Danny and Grace. She's like Doris, even worse sometimes. I feel anxious (and mad at show writers) every damn time she's somewhere near Danny or Ohana generally.

A random headcanon:

I once had a dream about Danny so here is my a bit angsty fluffy AU with happy end:

Kono (like in the canon) feels tired and sad and thinks about leaving Five-0 and going (with Adam) to the mainland & fighting with human traffic criminals. Chin and Abby think about living in San Francisco. Max and Sabrina think about Africa. Meanwhile Rachel comes (with her mother Amanda) to Hawaii (Rachel was somewhere far away with Stan) and claims she is sorry and wants Danny back. Williamses from Jersey also come to Hawaii. They more and more ask Danny about Rachel. Bridget mentions that they all miss Danny in Jersey.

Stevie is devastated, he is sure that Danny will go to Jersey with his family and with Rachel. For sure "for Gracie". He also can't imagine living in Hawaii without almost whole Five-0, his Ohana. So Steve decides that he will go back to the Navy (*drama*). Danny is devastated. Governor Sam is devastated too, no Kono, no Chin, no Max, no Steve and no Danny... He thinks that Five-0 has no future and promises Lou and Jerry that he'll find them a new job.

Clara, hearing about Five-0 news, says that her cousin from Italy has mentioned recently there's a job offer in Italian police with higher rank and higher salary and so on. Rachel's mother is like "oh, Italy, finally some civilized place and a job for ambitious people". Danny's family is like "Well, your friends want to leave Hawaii, we're so sorry honey, but... maybe you'll think about Italian offer? Your grandma spoke Italian, you are so brilliant, you can learn it too and...". Rachel smiles and smiles and is soo sure that she will go to Italy with Danny and Grace (sorry, I've got issues with Charlie's plot so he isn't there 😂).

So all other Ohana members talk now about The Four and Max and so on leaving them. Kono, Max, Chin and Steve decide they will leave Hawaii next year. Governor then says to Danny "Better take that job in Italy, Danny. It's a really good offer".

Danny is like "What the hell they all are talking about?!". He only listens to them and says nothing. He's too much anxious, surprised, devastated and veeeery pissed off. What? No Kono, Adam, Chin, Abby, Sara, Max, Sabrina... No Steve the hell???!!! No Hawaii?! No Ohana?! No Five-0? He and who? Rachel? Buahahahahha. No funny. No fair. Nightmare! She will never change, he knows. And he can't love her. And he loves... Steve. And why the hell they all are so sure he is okay with this? He's NOT okay. They can't decide what is better for him - Italy, Jersey, no Hawaii. Seriously? All he wants is his home, his Honolulu. His beloved job and beloved police unit. His beloved Hawaiian people. And beaches. Pineapples. His Ohana. His whole Ohana. And Steve the hell. And Grace. No Rachel, no Italy, just NO.

Danny is so devastated. He's sure that he'll never see his guys again. He'll never see... Steve. He's in his darkest mood. Anxiety attacks, panic attacks, ANGER attacks, they come back to his head.

One day at some party he drinks too much. Gracie sees it. Some other day when he and Grace are crossing the street Danny is almost hit by a car cause he suddenly stood still like frozen and Grace had to scream his name to make him safe. He generally is more and more quiet, each day he looks like "something bad happened" and even though he pretends all is okay, he's good, Gracie sees it all.

One day she just asks. He says all is okay. She then says she feels him cause she doesn't want to leave either. She wants Ohana. Uncle Steve. And Danno, her beloved daddy. He asks her about Jersey, Italy, Rachel. She says NO, NO and... NO. She says that she knew he's sad and she knows how much he loves this place and these people. And her. She says he can't always think only about her. And that he CAN always have both: her and uncle Steve. "What you mean, Monkey?" he asks.

She says she noticed his reaction on Rachel and Amanda (and also Williamses' words about leaving Hawaii) and wanted to know finally what's going on. So one day, when Danny was sleeping hard in the living room (when he drank a bit too much beer for a second time) she checked his room to find "anything". And she finally found. His old letters/messages to Rachel and to the court. She also found something like his diary or letters-never-sent. There was all in them, Danny's pain, truth about his marriage, about her grandmother and mother's cruel plan aka You Will Never See Grace Again, his fear that he would lose Gracie, his love for Grace and Ohana. His pain after losing Matthew. His memories of wanting to kill himself when Rachel took Grace. His bad days and good days. His soul healing in Hawaii with Ohana. With Grace. With Steve. And photos. There were many photos of Ohana being together. And happy.

So, Grace tells Danny that everything will be all right. That NOW they're Super Team. They have to fight for the happiness. They're staying in Hawaii. They need to change Ohana's minds by showing them how wonderful this land is. How many people still need Five-0. How much they all love each other. Danny is amazed. Grace talks and talks. She has so many ideas. One of them is: Gracie will go to court with Danny and say she wanna be under Danny's sole custody (cause the situation and Gracie's feelings have changed so much). She says that the judge will listen to her and she doesn't need as much money as Rachel to win. Danny is speechless. Then Grace says: "We're staying here. Forever. We need to be more Hawaiian, daddy". She has a plan. Danny is very intrigued.

Danny and Grace, when they're with Ohana, pretend they are excited about Italy. Danny says he and Grace learn a lot about their "promised land" (nature, culture, whole history etc) and they also learn "language of love", "language of their Ohana" (Clara is happy and thinks about her mother 😂) with Captain Tanaka's help (his wife knows Italian and some other languages). Lou jokes that Tanaka helps Danny cause he never liked Danny much and that Tanaka is happy that Danny will leave this land. Danny laughs and only says "Maybe, maybe not". When they are like "So, maybe you'll show us your language skills?", Danny says "No, not now". And when they try to ask Mrs Tanaka about Danny's progress, she only joyfully says "He learns so fast, he's truly a brilliant mind, what a memory, what a voice, when he talks I can see all: the sun, the sea, sand, the wind... he melts my heart, he sounds... like his people. His level? He'll be native one day, I'm sure!". Rachel is happy. Steve is devastated.

One year later. Steve, Kono and so on organize the Farewell Party. With looooong tables, with a big stage and microphones (to say Aloha to all their people), with flowers and all that jazz. There are so many people there on the beach. All of them. Whole Ohana and their little Ohanas. All people who know Five-0: survivors (rescued - forever grateful - victims), Hawaiian people, Ruth, Dekker, Victoria models, guy from the gun store, aunt Deb and her Leonard, HPD, SWAT, Williamses, absolutely everyone. So, they all celebrate and then Amanda says "So, Daniel. Your language teacher claims you're a master now. It's time to prove it, right?". Rachel's face is like "Aww, Italy, we're coming. I only need Danny to like me hmmm how to change his mind...". Steve fights with his pain. Deb asks "Maybe some song for your Ohana?". Danny smiles. "For my Ohana, you say? Well, I did it all to save my Ohana so...". When he said "to save my Ohana" all eyes were on Rachel and Grace. Danny continues: "So yeah, I can sing for Ohana too. Come on, Monkey. We'll do it together".

So they all wait there to hear some Italian words but then, on stage, Gracie grabs something and... she starts playing on ukulele. Then Danny starts singing... in the absolutely Perfect and Beautiful Hawaiian. He's singing Hawai'i 78. Soon Gracie is singing with him. All people around are in damn shock 😂😂😂 Kawika, Mamo, Kono's mama, all native guys are like *we're sorry, our brains are now loading, please wait a while*. Chin, Kono, Danny's parents... Lou, Mary, Gerard, Odell, Kame, Sang Min 😂 They all CAN'T BELIEVE 😂 And Stevie... Gosh, he can't breathe. Somebody ventilate him, quickly! 😆 Rachel? She realizes that she lost.

When Danny and Grace sing "Cry for the gods, cry for the people, cry for the land that was taken away and then yet you'll find... Hawai'i" - Steve and their Ohana, they all have tears in their eyes.

Soon Danny and Grace sing (with sassy smiles on their faces) some other Hawaiian songs for Ohana and in the end they and Steve and all Ohana talk about their feelings, Gracie explains her and Danny's plan to save Ohana, Danny finally fights with his anxiety, insecurity and all other demons and asks all his sunshines to stay with him in Hawaii. He whispers Hawaiian "I love you" in Steve's ear. Ohana laughs, they ask if Danny is bewitched or what. He answers "By you guys, yeah".

Of course all will stay in their beloved land, Five-0 is safe, Ohana is safe, all are happy together. They cry and laugh. Rachel comes and starts ranting and shouting at Danny but then Gracie gives her a card and only says: "What? You'll take me away from Danno? Not this time. By the way, it's MY lawyer's number. Call him. Goodbye!". Steve needs some air again 😂 Clara and Eddie are soooo happy that Danny finally fights for himself SO MUCH. They understand all and Clara is like "Hmm, Eddie, maybe WE TOO will have a home here?" 😆 And Eddie is like "But they don't have Papa's Tomato Pies here, honey. And you know, I love our place in Jersey and... We can visit. They can visit. You know".

Okay, I just wanted to say that my random headcanon is that Danny loves Hawaii more and more and one day he wants to be "one of these people totally" so he learns Hawaiian. Because he CAN. And because he is like One Big Surprise. He's booooorn to be wiiiiiild 😂 (and here he's free thanks to Gracie, he's determined and motivated and "I'll show you all!" 💪💪💪).

General Opinion over said character:

Danny? Danny is The Sunshine. The Warrior. The Protector. Care Bear Number One. He's anxious and strong. He's sassy and kind. He's sensitive and BAMF! He's wise. He's a lovely dork. He's the best parent, son and friend ever. He's Steve's everything. He is a great cop/detective. He CARES about people so much (and much more than about himself). His heart is golden. He's precious. Soo precious. Ohana loves him. Fandom loves him. He deserves absolutely the best! ♥️♥️♥️ We all can write looooong essays about him and his kindest heart, right? 😍

Thots on Ralsei/Susie/Kris?

As friendship: incredibly based, I want them to grow old as a squad and have tea parties at Ralsei’s and push through thick and thin

as romantic relationship… I dunno. I guess its Okay. I like Krusie, but I see them more as a brotp (though the fanarts are top tier tbh and they sell me on the idea)— ralsusie, well you know, and kris/ralsei is Complicated and you may have seen I kinda swerve around talking about it and Susie/Noelle cause the analysis gets long and I dont want discourse or unhinged shippers in my inbox/notes kek

As a mindless indulgent fluff/comedy i dig it

ohana

[dabard]

Look guys, I’m as big a fan of the whole “Go to war for each other” romance ships as much as the next guy, but I want more of that platonic ride or die love. Give me an old woman putting on her long forgotten armor to protect the neighborhood kids that help her with her tv. Give me princes of warring countries bonding over music and leading a rebellion against their parents and nations. Give me Chaotic Good Jocks who fight the local gang when their Soft Geek friends have a run in with them. Give me Found Families walking in to hell with holy water dripping off their baseball bats and righteous fury in their veins because ohana means family bitch.

I’ll read passionate romances all day long but I’d sell my soul for some sweet platonic relationships that live and die by each other’s side.

[nobigsecrets]

Junior Reigns for the character otp ask?

OTP for them: Tani!!!

BROTP for them: Steve

Other ships: I mean, Junior’s got quite the hero worship thing going on for Steve, so… (Please, someone tell me it’s not only me?)

What kind of fic I’d write about them: SEAL!Junior to the rescue.

A favorite canon moment: When he gave Tani the mermaid tail as a gift. That was very sweet.

Color that reminds me of them: Dark Greens

Song that reminds me of them: ?

A headcanon about them: He was a member of the Ballroom Dance team at High School.

A random AU I think up on the spot for them: Junior is a physical therapist, and because he’s very good at it, his reputation precedes him and one after the other, all members of Five-0 end up in his hands because of job-related accidents and incidents. Because he’s trustworthy and very discreet they all end up telling him things, from the latest office gossip to their current cases. Eventually he can’t not say anything and slips up—and while he’s afraid he will lose his most reliable clients, his good thinking acutally helps Five-0 solve the case. Tani speaks up for him and Steve invites him to their case-closed celebrations, and he’ll become part of the ohana.

Anything else: I love his loyalty. Oh, and his (mad) dancing skills! :)

To Ally — my sister from another mister. we share a brain & it’s awesome. the friendship we’ve formed - although it was formed long ago, we just didn’t realize it *coughmileyxdylancough* lmao - has quickly become something so important to me that i don’t know how i ever functioned without it. the only thing i love more than writing out precious children with you is our chats out of character. whenever i have a bad day or hell, even a whole bad weekend, i know that i can log on and that you’ll make me feel better instantly. i’m so glad i finally watched the fosters & that my need for more noah/maia interaction led me to you.   @hqmaia

To Vic — one of my oldest rp friends. you’ve seen me through thick and thin and i think the only thing more beautiful than our friendship is noah & cierra’s. i’ve gone to you with some of the craziest shit this weird brain of mine has come up with & never once did you laugh me out of the room or write me off. i don’t know if that says more about you or me but whichever it is, i’m beyond grateful for our friendship that just keeps getting better with age.  @cierrahq

To Kingsley — i’m so glad that you worked up the courage to im me first (bc we both know full well that i was never going to be the one to bother you) because charmila is eVeRyThInG. and we shant forget the time that we /really/ bonded over a certain twitter video(s) which instantly sent our friendship up like 5 million levels. i don’t want to talk about it for fear of getting a lil hot n bothered but know that it was /quite/ the friendship former and i am so glad that you & i will forever share that experience. we saw things, man. it changed us. for the better...i think?   @jfcmelton

To Charlie — another one of my age old friends. at the risk of sounding FIVE THOUSAND years old, i literally watched you grow up. i cherish our friendship so so much and it makes my heart so happy to see you out there killing the game, chasing your dreams, and owning it. i can always count on you for an ego boost and a kind word or two.   @emilybettrickrds

To Bonnie — my bonbon. you are truly one of the sweetest humans i’ve never met. i mean, who tf sends a handmade christmas card all the way to hawaii along with the sweetest note i’ve ever read? things like that really make an impact on me & i hope you know how much i value the friendship we’ve built. your influence on me and my writing is something that i will forever be grateful for. and getting the chance to ship with you? priceless.   @hyfdanielle

To Becca — another one of my lifers. despite all the unnecessary and idiotic bullshit that seems to come your way, you have never been anything but kind, understanding, and wonderful in all the years i’ve known you. you put your heart and soul into every one of your muses and it is absolutely inspiring. the dedication you’ve shown is something that i look to as an example and the creativity that you have is something of an aspiration to me. thank you for teaching me how fulfilling hard work in the name of a passion can be.   @liliisms

To Rose — we’re connected!!! irl!!! who knew that would /ever/ be something that could possibly happen. out of aaaall the people in this big, wide world...the fact that we managed to find a mutual connection is nothing short of a miracle & a sign that we were always meant to be friends. even though i’m old enough to be your grandma (it’s fine, it’s cool, i’m fine...). i adore you & your writing & your muses, each and every one of ‘em. keep shining, you star.   @joekcery

To KJ — you are literally the reason i came back to writing. i was nervous in the aftermath of things but a few simple texts from you & any hesitation was out the window. i couldn’t pass up the chance to round out the riv gang and i knew, if you were happy here, i would be happy here as well. our personalities just click and have since day one; it’s a true gift that i’ll always be thankful for. also, our love for ryan guzman’s face will forever bond us (have you /seen/ the new season of 911? HOT. DANG.). love you long time, honey.   @kjapayo

To Emily — thank you for helping me keep track of our threads because anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that i’m a super mega scatter brain who is very bad at juggling multiple things & would lose her head if it wasn’t attached to her body. that said, i absolutely adore our cami/troian friendship to bits. they’re the cutest thing since newborn puppies & i’m very grateful for each and every chance i have to interact with you.   @itstbellisario

To Sadie — i will never have a bigger brotp than nat & gi. they were cute af fam! not only are you an incredible writer who puts incredible amounts of effort into all her muses, you’re a fantastic admin & i’m so grateful to have you (and the rest of the admin team) at the helm of this machine. each chance i have to write against you makes me a better writer so thank you.   @ohlizzo

To the rest of this lovely, little ohana — for those who don’t know, i took a few months off from writing in a group setting on tumblr over the summer. partially due to a bit of drama in the tumblr rp sphere but mostly due to a stressful solo teaching job that took every second of my life to successfully accomplish (6th, 7th, and 8th graders are no joke, y’all). but once the dust settled and i returned to my normal, far less stressful autumnal job, i came back in search of a new place to call home. thankfully, i heard whisperings of a safe space that had been set up by a few names that were familiar to me and i knew i had to throw my name into the ring. so to those i’ve known for a while from past places, i’ve enjoyed every minute back in your ranks. to those newer who found a home here in this place, i’m so glad you did. i’m glad you found us. to everyone, thanks for being here. happy six months, hollywoodland!

au in the friends verse but like SPECIFICALLY for emily & grey

@babykillcr

FRIENDS VERSE HEADCANONS FOR THE BROTP

1. they often have sleepovers (that’s what emily calls it) where she basically invites herself over to his apartment with pizza rolls, tater tots, and ice cream. they’ll either watch netflix all night or she’ll watch him play video games – sometimes they don’t say anything at all and some nights they talk about literally anything and everything that could be bothering them. those are her favorite nights.

2. emily didn’t even make grey WORK at her shop for most of the time, simply grateful that she had someone there to talk to. since her dad died, it was pretty lonely and the place became a somber one for her. but ever since he started working there, she associates the store with better things like new friendship and family – when he was “working”, it would mostly be him sitting at the register ringing people up while she told him plant facts. and yeah, she knew he didn’t care. but she figured if this was community service, he could deal with her nerding out.

3. she literally calls him her brother sometimes, forgets that they’re not related by blood. he’s in her phone as OHANA because they were the definition of a broken family that’s piecing itself together. emily, ever the romantic and ridiculous dreamer, is sure that one day when she’s gonna be a mom, he’ll even be the godfather to her kids~ yeah they’re fuckin ridiculous come at me

4. most of the pictures in her room feature him because of just how important he is to her. most people assume from the photos and the way they talk that they’re TOGETHER and she finds it hilarious, always makes the joke that he’s ruined her for other men bc how will she ever find someone better than grey???

5. sometimes she tries to cleanse his aura. because she’s ridiculous. and sometimes he lets her. because he is also ridiculous.

[sysba]

:( I don't want Keiki to still get shit for what her scumbag parents did, it's so unfair! and she has no one standing up for her!! blease send her to a school where her only struggle is cringing hard whenever other 15yo are drooling over her brother (because let's be honest, if you're a teenager & you see your classmate getting picked up at school by somebody who looks like bryce you will froth at the mouth a bit... respectfully...)

[sysba]

“Well, my arm’s asleep, but I’m glad you’re comfortable.” for bryce x mc please ! [i adore the way you write bryce btw ♡]

ohana

words: 500+

prompt: “Well, my arm’s asleep, but I’m glad you’re comfortable.”

🥺😭thank you so much for the compliment, it means a lot!!  ♡

“Ahh, this is the life...” Victoria sighed contentedly, eyes shutting close for a second as she savoured the moment. 

It had been raining non-stop for the past few days, and when she had reached Bryce’s apartment after work she was soaked and shivering. Except, when Bryce had opened the door to let her in with a wide smile, the smell of their favourite Thai take-out place filling the air and the news of a hot bubbly bath waiting for her, it had almost been worth it. 

Now she smelled like cinnamon and orange flowers, cuddled in the warmth of dry clothes and Bryce’s arms as she popped buttery popcorns into her mouth. The images on the flat screen lazily followed one another, no one really paying attention to the plot.

Bryce glanced down at her with a smirk. “Well, my arm’s asleep, but I’m glad you’re comfortable.”

Victoria shrugged. “I can move if you want.” She didn’t look like she was actually going to move, though. Not that it mattered, since Bryce only pulled her closer until she was in his lap.

“Never,” he husked, just before stealing a kiss and eliciting a delighted yelp from her.

“Gross!”

Keiki’s voice caused both of them to look at her, just in time to see the mock horror of her expression and burst into laughter. Her grimace turned into a mischievous grin, and for a moment she looked so much like Bryce that it made Victoria smile with affection. That was, until Keiki started throwing popcorns at Bryce, inevitably getting all over Victoria as well in the process.

Laughing as she dove to the other side of the sofa, as far as possible from Bryce, Vic watched as he protested and threw the nearest pillow at his sister. The popcorn was still flying around, the small living room reduced to a war zone. There was something both childish and liberating about the scene. 

When Keiki had appeared on Bryce’s doorstep a few months ago, none of them knew what to expect. And now, against any prediction, they were a family. A weird one, chaotic and loud most of the time, and definitely unconventional… But Victoria couldn’t imagine anything better than spending time with her cocky surgeon who lit up every room he walked into, and his deliciously sarcastic teenage sister who always managed to keep him grounded.

“Hey, quit that! You little-” hissed Bryce, the glint in his dark eyes betraying his amusement.

“Little what, Bryce? Please, finish the sentence,” taunted Keiki in return, raising her eyebrows in challenge.

Vic playfully narrowed her eyes in the attempt of looking menacing as she glared at Bryce. “Yeah, B, what were you gonna call your adorable little sister?”

Bryce looked between the two of them and scoffed, before relenting and raising his hands in surrender. “I liked it better when you two weren’t friends.”

Victoria and Keiki shared a glance, mouths melting into identical smirks. “Liar.” They spoke at the same time before losing themselves into a fit of giggles. 

And even though he groaned and rolled his eyes, Bryce felt his chest fill with happiness.

[sysba]

Bryce & MC: *flirt-talking*

Keiki:

[sysba]

okay but this was heartbreaking and Mr and Mrs Lahela are gonna catch these fists.

😭😭😭 he's trying very hard, okay? we're proud of you party boy ✊🏽
