Favorite Steve McGarrett whump? Mines are from 5x07 and 6x25

Ooooh YES. Okay my absolute favorite Steve whumps are:

6x25 and 5x07 are definitely TOP Steve whumps! Two of the best episodes without a doubt.

I'm also a huge fan of 2x01 when he gets stabbed in prison

4x21 is great. I love 4x21 for so many reasons

2x10 is also a big fav of mine. Captured and tortured, hung from the ceiling, that great rescue moment. So good.

I'm a fan of when he breaks his arm in 1x19 as well

this funny ass o’caan moment from a podcast interview I found that alex did made me start DYINGGG in public 😭

The Pauly Shore Podcast Show Ep. 10 - Alex O’Loughlin

TRANSCRIPT:

PAULY: So, I’m looking at a picture of your co-star, Scotty Caan.

ALEX: Yeah.

PAULY: So, do you masturbate on that or something when you walk by it or?

ALEX, nonchalantly: Not anymore, I’ve had it for years.

PAULY: Right. [Laughing]

ALEX: In the beginning, when you put it there, it’s a headshot that says “Dearest Al, one day babe, one day.” So, you know, who wouldn’t jerk off to that?

[xwilltruman]

my favorite h50 episode was when they revealed steve mcgarrett was gay in canon

[theseprezelsaremakingmethirsty]

My mom asked me if Buck was “with Chris’ dad”

She doesn’t even know Eddie’s name and she thinks they’re together

I just finished the show today and scrolling through tumblr to deal with the feels and I found your post from before the finale aired where you said that you would be ok as long as Steve doesn’t end up back with Catherine and I just laughed and needed to ask you how you reacted to the finale when exactly that happened

HI there! Sorry I took so long to respond! Life, ya know. I'm so happy you've been enjoying a scroll through my blog! God I love this show.

Oh my god the finale! Yeah that post of mine certainly didn't age well did it lol. The ONLY thing I didn't want to see and then there pops up Catherine. Bleh. I remember watching the episode and I was having a blast. I was crying a lot after those damn goodbyes hitting me right in the heart. I was sad cause Steve was leaving. I was sad because Danny was hurting both physically and emotionally and he was so upset and angry that Steve was leaving but in my heart I knew Steve would return when he was ready and they'd all be fine again. Then we see Steve on the plane and he gets the text from Danny and I was like "yup things are gonna be okay."

AND THEN CATHERINE SHOWS UP!!!!

Oh my god nonny I was so ANGRY. WHY! Why did she have to appear! She'd done nothing but make his life hell. Why now did she have to show up when he is already in so much pain and needs a break from everything does she show up!? She's gonna make everything worse for him and I hate it. It was also just so unnecessary in terms of plot. It made the ending weird. Steve was leaving alone because he felt that's what he needed to do. So what is Catherine just gonna tag along and then leave him again? How is that gonna help him. The episode should have ended with the Danny text and a Steve smile looking out the plane window. That's where it should have ended.

To this day I'm still mad over it.

[nobigsecrets]

I'm gonna ask you some of the same questions lmao.

911 or H50?

Tommy or Steve?

BuckTommy or McDanno?

Helicopter Crash or Jeep Crash?

I guess I deserved that, lol.

911 or H50 I agree with you that both shows aren't objectively good. But I have watched 911 before and then quit watching it around S5 whereas I watched all 10 seasons of H50, so there's your answer.

Tommy or Steve This is really hard. I do see a lot of parallels between Tommy and Steve tbh (difficult childhood, daddy issues, joining the military right out of high school, military background, emotional repression), even if they both have different motivations and reasons for these things (Tommy ran away to the military while Steve was made to go there, but for both of them it was an escape and basically made them who they are). In this essay I will-- I do choose Tommy though, for the simple fact that Tommy realized he was unhappy and then went and changed his life. (It took Steve 10 years to realize he was unhappy and then he went and ran away...)

BuckTommy or McDanno I can't possibly decide this one. I've never been in a fandom longer than H50 (5+ years) and it was Steve and Danny who kept me there. But BuckTommy are everything I always hoped for in terms of gay representation and they have taken over my brain since I first saw them kiss.

Helicopter Crash or Jeep Crash Helicopter crash. I know in reality chances of surviving that are basically non-existant but this is for storytelling reasons, right? I'd rather see Tommy hurt and bleeding and Buck worrying over him than the other way around.

Make me choose

I love your color theory posts- I literally reblogged your blue/red parenting post and THIS came up right after. I am not in Hawaii Five-0 fandom AT ALL BUT WTF they are the colors and there’s a kid, I dunno if it’s their kid or whatever but she’s wearing YELLOW LIKE CHRIS IN THE TSUNAMI. this needs to be analyzed across fandoms.

Not a mcdanno blue and red with Grace in the corner I'm screaming ispskspkapakaoakoa yeah, that kid is Danny's (the blonde one) daughter. I'm pretty sure Grace's mother is at the scene tho, on the other end of the couch but it would be crazy if this was a color combo other shows use for parenting like the blue and yellow for queer themes. Because Steve definitely is very protective of Grace too, definitely treats her like a daughter so, I am looking 👀

[redgoldblue]

🎲 Fandom choosing is so hard! Either S&H or H50, a random kiss pls!

oh hell yeah. there are two directions you could go with this (bridal or h/c) and I went with. the other one.

Send me a fandom and I'll generate a kiss to write!

Steve stared down at the top of Danny's head. Not that that was an uncommon state of affairs, but there was a greater distance to stare right now. It made his hair even shinier, especially under the bright lights of Iolani Palace HQ. "Danny, what the hell are you doing?"

"Just-" Danny grunted, wrapping an arm around Steve's legs. "Just shut up."

"Danny. It wasn't actually a challenge."

"Oh no, boss," Tani chipped in helpfully. "I was definitely challenging him."

"Didn't think it was to propose, though," Grover said, making a manful attempt at pretending he wasn't laughing.

Steve sighed. Danny was reaching up for his hand, but he was reasonably sure he wasn't actually going to just grab his wrist without Steve's cooperation. He rested his hand on Danny's shoulder instead. "Does it have to be fireman's carry? I am supposed to have some authority here. Where did you learn fireman's carry, anyway?"

That, at least, achieved the desired effect of Danny standing up. Apparently he couldn't be appropriately offended while kneeling at Steve's feet. "I was trained as a first responder! I should be asking you how you know it."

"The military invented it."

"That's true," Junior volunteered from the other side of the table, where he'd wisely confined himself.

"No, it's-" Grover interjected. "Honestly. You Navy boys think you made the sky blue."

Steve couldn't help shrugging and responding, "Well, it is our colour."

Danny rolled his eyes. "Oh-"

The man could move fast when he wanted. Stocky and low to the ground came with advantages. As did, to be fair, Steve's reaction time being stymied by his aversion to hurting Danny in the process. Somehow it all ended up with Steve halfway to exactly the position he'd been trying to avoid.

Danny's back was, frankly, a less appealing view than the top of his head. At least at this angle and fully clothed.

"What were you saying about authority?" Danny said smugly.

"I think I lost it ten minutes ago," Steve admitted to Danny's scapula. He was tempted to go dead weight, which he was pretty sure actually would drop Danny, but that probably wouldn't end up in any more dignified position for either of them.

"You lost it years ago, boss," Tani told him. "You're way too much of a softie to keep it longer than first impression."

"You know I led a SEAL team?"

"You've softened since then," Danny said, and poked him in the side. "Candy left in the sun."

Sighing, Steve accepted that as merely the latest in a long line of fond but slightly derogatory food-based analogies. "Are you planning on putting me down anytime soon? All my blood's starting to go to my head."

"Can't have your head getting any bigger," Danny agreed, and helped him heave himself back over Danny's shoulder onto the ground.

Safely standing, Steve blinked a couple of times, letting the dizziness subside as Tani clapped Danny on the back and handed over a dollar bill. "Shouldn't have doubted you."

"No, you shouldn't have," Danny said, and went to take the money.

It floated to the ground untouched as Steve crouched and lifted, one arm across Danny's back and one under his knees.

Danny squawked, and Grover started laughing, bending over with his hands on the computer table.

"Hey! No-one challenged you!"

"Partnership equity."

"I don't think you know what either of those words mean," Danny grumbled, and crossed his arms. Which, given his current bridal-carried state, made Grover's laughter redouble and Steve snort, the movement shaking Danny slightly and pushing his elbow further into Steve's ribs.

"I hate you," Danny said, and let his head fall onto Steve's shoulder.

"Yeah, I love you too." Steve bent his head to kiss Danny on the forehead, which was met with a faint mumble that deniably may or may not have contained words of affection, then he looked over at the rest of the team. "Now, who wants to put money down on how much I can beat his time by?"

"Oh, I do."

"Hundred percent."

"Hey!"

[microsuedemouse]

the fact that Danny literally has to walk out of the room when Steve makes the decision to go rescue his mother... lordie. he cannot cope with this. he's watched Steve put his ass on the line for Doris several times already and every time she repays him by being shady and keeping secrets and taking off and ultimately not being a mother in any way no matter how much she claims to want to. and he just doesn't know how to handle this happening again, let alone all of it going down in circumstances where Steve has to go completely no-contact with the team. Danny can't even go with him and watch his back this time.

not to project, gang, but there's just. so much happening in Danny's tone and on his face in that moment. "it's your mother; you're gonna do what you're gonna do."

[teruel-a-witch]

We all know that Danny Williams likes to wear lingerie and Steve has fantasized about that like... A LOT. It's a fact.

i mean... can't argue with facts ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

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 so much, babe @stephmcx for thinking of me! What a great idea to self rec our stories! It's not that easy to pick five of all the stories I wrote for the boys. They're all my brainchildren but some are highly self-indulgent and these five stories are some of the more recent ones I wrote. I proudly present:

Be Your Very Best In The Darkest Time Summary: "Steve! Fuck, where's the damn blood coming from?" His brother searches frantically for the wound and pats down his shoulders, making him tilt his head to the side. "It's not your neck. Damn it, Steve, you're bleeding like a stuck pig. Stay with me." The urgency of the moment is a silent waver in Freddie's voice. (174'645 words)

Change Summary: Maybe Steve is so wound up in this strange, strange mood because it is the first breather he can take after the crazy start with Five-0. (6137 words)

That Big Heart Of Yours Summary: The Navy taught Steve the way to stay alive at all costs. What the Navy didn't teach Steve was how to ask for help. Long years of sustained combat and crime investigation have left mental scars and physical tiredness. Steve's convinced the best way to face the daily pain is stubbornness and the good old rule: ignore and override. But he hasn't considered Danny in this scenario.(15'505 words)

Surrender Summary: Danny has been assigned to a police deployment for four weeks to work with the Virginia Beach police department. He meets the team at a bar for one last beer before he heads back home to Jersey. The bar is a meeting point for military personnel. Danny runs into a soldier with an intense, annoying glare, muscles for days, and the most arrogant behavior the world has ever seen. His name is Steve. (62'788 words)

At Night Thoughts Are Hunting Summary: The night forces the boys to name those feelings they try to hide from during the day. (6639 words)
