funniest scene transition in the show history

Happy pride 🌈 to this friendly bear who totally clocked Steve and Danny↓

Steve checks in with Danny, as usual

Danny doesn't see the need to deny the obvious and the next shot is

two bros chilling 5 feet apart with an empty stripper poll between them cause they are gay.

(is it just me or is the lighting literally just the colours of the gay/mlm pride flag? I'm guessing the bus driver chooses the mood lighting/colour scheme and changed it from pink/red of the bachelorette party to the blue/green in honour of the two gayest cops in Hawai'i, this makes as much sense as anything on this show tbh 😂)

junior definitely finds out about danny and steve being together at some point (after all, he's living with steve), but they make him keep it secret for a while, and for a period of time, junior reigns runs around o'ahu sweating and covering for his idiot bosses while they figure things out (just like joey did for chandler and monica in friends)

Is Buck's playing football in high school canon or fanon?

Cause the Eddie tackle was personal, but also very VERY american football.

THE BOY WENT FOR IT.

(reminded me of Steve Mcgarrett from Hawaii Five-O when he didn't know how to play basketball, so just improvised and played foot-basketball with the inmates in prison).

Michael Bublé - Close your eyes

When I heard that song for the first time, I immediately knew: it's Danny singing about Steve!

Now we're celebrating Steve's birthday (and in Poland March 10th is National Men Day and this year is my 12th year of loving Steve McGarrett) so I thought that I'll give him this - err... Danny's photo album? Danny's diary? Just some pics saying "Thank you" and "I love you"? (choose what you want, babes)

And of course Danny singing it for Steve (Danny making the first step, yes, love confession 🥰) is still an option. It's still in my head (Michael's voice is Danny's voice) so I'm sharing both: pictures and headcanon.

@mayberrycryptid - Babe, thank you for this event, thank you for your kindest heart, thank you for being so lovely, open-hearted, gentle and friendly to literally everyone in our h50 Ohana (you are our Care Bear, you know? 😘), thank you for everything what you do for us all, thank you for your McDanno love and all McDanno posts that you share with us. I love you very much ♥️

It's for you, May. And for our Ohana here. Love and hugs ♥️

I sorta kinda have a tiny headcannon that Steve helps raise Freddie's daughter. Idk her name, but for some reason, Emma keeps coming to mind. The only reason why I'd think she wasn't in the show sooner is cause the writers didn't plan that far ahead because there's no way Steve would not have not taken care of or at least kept in touch with Freddie's family. I like to think that the daughter calls Steve Papa and that she did at one point call him Daddy until he and Freddie's wife both explained that steve wasn't her daddy, her real daddy was an angel and that steve wasn't a replacement, just a second Daddy, a Papa. I think that it would have taken her while to understand and make the switch, which would have hurt steves heart every time, but I'm an asshole who loves angst. I also like to think that he kept it from the team because either it hurt to bring up or her mother didn't want her to really be in that circle of danger if someone found out that steve practically adopted a little girl honestly, any reason is good.

Harry Langford is a fun character.

I enjoy the dynamic between him, Steve, and Danny.

I headcanon him as trying to open our boys eyes to their feelings for each other. He talks to them separately as he has a hard time with fools. He respects their intelligence but he recognizes their complete stupidity about their relationship.

He was a spy so they can hide to themselves all they want. Harry knows the truth.

It would have been fun scenes to watch if tptb weren't cowards.

A huge thanks to @lukeclvez for initiating the great post and for writing an awesome comment about Steve’s Bone Frog tattoo. And a huge thanks also to @sloanza for another fabulous comment about this headcanon. Read the post here:

And now, because of you guys there’s a new, fantastic headcanon in my mind driving my muse into a mad inspiration state. I never thought about it until now and that important detail would have fitted perfectly into the show. On the search to get pics for said Bone Frog tattoo I stumbled over the Bone Frog Open and I’m hooked with this trope!!!

And in my mind Steve participates every year since the Bone Frog Open got founded. And it makes sense now why he started with golf lessons in the first place. I’m all in now, guys. GAH!!!

[mvnces]

and if I suggest that sobieski cradles the back of people's head when he hugs them? what then??

Random Hawaii Five-0 Headcanon: Danno is undefeated in these games ->

- Scrabble

- Poker (His poker face is better than Steves)

- Jeopardy and other trivia games. (No expected that one)

Steve will ask the most obscure trivia questions and Danny would always have an answer.

[trickster-archangel]

I decided to post on AO3 two of my headcanon/meta, those I'm most fond about:

At least my dashboard is not so empty anymore.

[teruel-a-witch]

one of the things i love about steve and danny is that their appreciation for each other is so genuine they subvert dismissive/no homo memes

~~~~~

steve: you look pretty tonight

danny: what?

steve: i said you look pretty tonight

danny: aren't you supposed to say i look shitty?

steve: why would i say something so blatantly untrue?

danny: *flustered* it's how you are supposed to do this bit

steve: what bit?

*****

danny: you look hot i wanna kiss you

steve: let me guess, it's that bit where i ask 'what?' and you say 'if you were dead i wouldn't miss you'?

danny: what?? no, wtf, i would miss you very much if you died, i would never joke about that

steve: oh

~~~~~

there's no twist, they just love each other

[ptrckjcne]

for some kind of cases, steve will need a little extra help getting into the right headspace, and he'll sit back and listen to classical music (divertimento in d major by mozart, to be exact), and one day he lets it slip while in the car with danny, who has an absolute field day with this new information

Headcanon about Baghera and 102 H50's lore

Text : @solaneceae and me

[ellena-asg]

I've got new McDanno headcanon so let me do my babbling 😉

What I learnt about children in my ex work or just by observing my familiar kiddos (and by being a child years ago ^^) is that they (many of them) perfectly know adults. They may not know everything but they have great eyes, great ears and great understanding of emotions. And many of them are like little Sherlocks. Also, they can be painfully honest but... Sometimes they don't talk about everything. Sometimes they're too insecure to talk, they don't wanna disturb anything or have many other reasons to hide their "I'm not as unaware as you adults think I am". And... Sometimes instead of talking they express their emotions in other way. And sometimes they hope that their adults will see their sign. What I mean by "in other way"? F.e. drawing. And what I'm talking about? Well...

Let's look at Gracie in the Sarin episode (1x23):

Steve took her from school, told her about Danny and Sarin and now they're in the hospital together. Gracie is drawing. Then doctor comes and Steve says to her "let's go to Danno".

She gives him this look. Can I name it? Okay: cat's look. She's totally focused on Steve. She is looking at him and it looks like she's also deeply thinking about something. Something very Steve-related. Then she:

smiles to him. Cat's smile. She looks like "Yeah". She knows, she's got things to do, she doesn't say anything but in her head thoughts are very loud. Steve has no idea. Danny has no idea.

But she knows.

She sees what Steve always does for Danny. For her. And now, when Danny's life is in danger, when Steve came for her, when Steve is so close, when Steve is there (and Rachel is not), when Steve holds her hand and when Danny is so happy to see them both... She understands even more. How much Danny needs them - them, just them. How much Steve needs Danny (and her). How much she loves Steve for everything. How much she loves Danno. She almost lost him and... She needs to take care of him.

Danno can't take care of himself, Gracie thinks. He's strong, he's her hero. He's a fighter at work and in life. But she has eyes. And ears. And she feels. Yeah, physically he will be fine soon. But Danno's head won't.

Grace knows that Danno always cares more about her and others. That he wants her to be happy but he... He isn't happy. He's rarely happy. She understands. She feels his anxiety, she feels that something is often wrong. It's not that he loves ranting, that he is "just annoying gremlin" like some people joke. She knows her dad, she knows that when he's really happy then he's very different. She doesn't know all his problems, she just feels that he is angry at Rachel (but never at her, she knows well). And that... he is in love with uncle Steve.

Oh, he is very in love. Grace has never seen Danno being in love before. And really, it's so obvious that he's in love with uncle Steve (how can they be so blind, she wonders):

She's okay with that. She loves them deeply. She... needs to help them. They're so blind and unhappy that she needs to show them, needs to do something. They deserve to be happy. Her daddy deserves it. Danno... He almost died. He is alive and Grace... Grace is grateful. Grace now needs to do something for him. To finally do something for him. She owes him. She wants to protect him. Now it's her time to be a Care Bear.

So she gives Danno her drawing:

And she hopes that he will understand.

But Danno says that the pic is lovely and she's his Artist.

She still hopes that he will notice...

Come on, Danno. You're the greatest detective ever!

But naaah. He's as blind as he was before. She really tried...

Okay, let's look at her drawing.

There is her and Danny. And Hawaii.

Hawaii. No Jersey, no England, no "somewhere else". Just Hawaii. Ocean, beach, sun, palms... Their home. It's their home. It's Danno's real home. She knows. She wants the same. She is happy there and Danno is happy too. Hawaii can make Danno happy, she sees it. He wasn't happy in Jersey, he talks about Jersey but... he's different when he's in Hawaii.

Hawaii means home. It means Ohana. Means Danno and Grace being happy like never before. It means Steve.

There is no Rachel. Cause Grace knows. Rachel is her mother - but she isn't Danno's Ohana. Grace knows that Danny doesn't want Rachel in his life. He tries to talk to Rachel, he tries to be calm only for Grace. And Grace understands.

Grace only wants Danno to be happy. So she doesn't want Danny to be with her mother - cause when Danny is with Rachel he is (very) UNhappy. Yeah, it's great when parents are together and very in love - but Gracie knows that it's not her case. Her parents can't love each other. It's okay for her. And she is not going to change Danny's mind, she's not like "please, daddy, come back to mummy! pleeease" - she is not selfish. She is focused on what her daddy needs, what he wants. He can't sacrifice himself for her. Unhappy Danno = unhappy Grace.

So there's no Rachel in the picture. No people and no things that make Danno sad/anxious/mad. Grace needs to make him smile, she wants to help him, help to show him what he deserves. Hawaii. Grace. Ohana (team and other Ohana members aren't there but Hawaii may symbolize them too).

There's also no Steve. BUT. It's a different case than Rachel. Rachel isn't there cause she's not a part of Danny's life. She's not a wanted part. Steve isn't there BUT he can be there. There's a place for Steve. Gracie imagines him there in her head. She didn't draw him cause, I don't know... She didn't want to disturb Danny's (boys') feelings? She is gentle. She can't tell them what should they do. She doesn't know what to say, how to say? She wants to show them, give them a hint. Instead of saying "you dorks love each other" she shows the picture and hopes that at least one of them will notice the sign. Will realize.

"You can draw there uncle Steve", her eyes seem to say.

Oh yes, indeed:

She is looking at Steve. "Yes, Danno. Uncle is your everything! Hey, uncle, did you hear that?".

Boys of her life can't see and can't hear. She tries to do something else but then uncle Steve says his bye bye.

She stays with Danny, soon Kame comes. Grace is playing mobile game (Angry Birds? oh yeah, she's very sad and angry that boys couldn't see her sign, that she failed...).

And then, suddenly, Danny asks:

And Grace says:

Isn't it her way of telling "You, Danno, have no wings"?

Yes, Danno. You know well. You're like an angel, a bird without wings. You can fly - with Steve. You and Grace can fly - with Steve. And you're angry. You're sad. You're anxious. You suffer cause once you were hurt and now when you finally have the real pure love, when you and Grace have someone who loves you more than themselves... You don't see it. You are too afraid to see. To believe in Gracie's picture. In her happy end for you.

Poor Danno. Poor Grace. She's so sad. Her plan failed (maybe it would be better if she drew uncle Steve? maybe these boys need such a BOOM?!). Danno lost his detective skills and now... Oh, someone is calling.

It's Rachel. GOSH. Gracie's face when she sees the name on phone's screen! She's like "Not good". She's like "Nice that you're calling, mum but it's not a good moment".

Oh, Gracie is looking at Danny like a worried guardian angel. She doesn't want to tell him who is calling (he needs to feel good and safe, especially NOW) but he will be curious and she can't lie to him.

She only hopes that Rachel is just calling, not coming there. And speaking about Danno... And Steve. And McDanno. Yeah, she will try again one day. She's Williams, she can't give up.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 🤍

thank you!! ❤ sooo @actingcamplibrarian also sent me this one, and i'm going to take this opportunity to cheat (shamelessly!) and just. give another five fics. because there are more than ten of them on ao3, and because i can.

so again (mhuahaha), from five different fandoms, in no particular order:

-

Silly wrong but vivid right [sga, john/rodney]

i adore this now, but i went through a weird thing while writing it where i really loved the first half, and then i had to end it somehow and i came up with something that i didn't like very much, and i ended up posting it anyway because i still liked the first half a lot and felt it deserved to see the light of day. which is interesting to me because when i reread it now it doesn't feel wildly out of balance at all, and it all fits just fine, and i just still really really like the idea of 1) gay john getting some freedom and actually taking it, 2) rodney on the sidelines having Weird Feelings about it and drawing a very wrong conclusion, and 3) both of them still being idiots, at the end of the day.

-

Tell me the sky is falling now [starsky/hutch]

i like the way i opened this! and the way it ended too, and nearly all of what's in the middle. most of all though i like starsky Finding Out and being confused and maybe trying to freak out but hutch is right there, and he loves hutch, and he doesn't want to freak hutch out, and then he comes to some other conclusions, because it's hutch, and he's starsky, and that's the important part. this is one of those fics that i keep sort of almost rewriting in the sense that i have very similar ideas for a story and then have to try to figure out how to bend that new idea into a shape that's at least slightly unique so i don't actually end up writing a pale imitation of this one.

-

Cause if we’re all gonna die (Now’s the time to be alive) [h50, steve/danny]

in terms of my h50 fic this is definitely on the older side, but i still firmly stand by the headcanon behind this, i like that it has a good dosis of team banter, and it has some lines that i think of fondly from time to time, like this: He tumbles until he’s kissing Danny, awkwardly boxing Danny and his soft heat in against the cold and rough wall, not quite sure yet if this big bang is a creation myth or a mass extinction event. and, of course, taking the sappiness a step further still: Everything that comes after this point in time will forever be witnessed by eyes that have to send images off to be processed in a brain that also stores the memory of this kiss, which logically and inescapably prevents anything from ever being experienced the same as before.

-

Coming Up Aces [911, eddie/buck]

i don't know if i'd call this one a favorite writing-wise (at least overall - there are definitely parts that i do really like), but it does rank on a list of favorite fics i've written in the sense that, just. the way people connect with fic like this means something to me. and one of the things it means is that there should be more ace rep in (mainstream) media so people don't have to have these huge epiphany-like moments only while reading fic, but another is just feelings, big and warm and human.

-

Abandon your sad history (and meet me in the fire) [top gun, iceman/maverick]

top gun is A Movie, for sure, and i'd been trying to write some fic for it for a while when this finally came together. i loved playing with identities here, and the extended metaphors pretty much wrote themselves (iceman!), and every time i reread it and come to the line that mentions iceman is drinking an old fashioned while trying to fend off maverick's very queer advances i give myself a little pat on the back for subtle jokes.

[lucy-hp]

They will never make me believe Danny stayed in his house while Honolulu is hit by a hurricane. Being a first responder is in his blood.

He would have handed his keys to Rachel so Charlie and her were safe. Danny would have been at the Palace helping the civilians if not for tptb. After 9 seasons, the writers still try to make this relationship works. It is not romantic, it is not healthy to hold on for so long. It is toxic.

The only good thing is Steve coming to check on Danno because you never know what might happen during a disaster "natural or otherwise".

Alex delivery while side eyeing Rachel is perfect. It says so much in such little action.
