i'm rewatching e malama pono (the one with the bomb in the truck in the jungle. but that's not the part this post is about) and steve and danny keep coming back to the list danny wrote of Things I Like and which steve maybe snooped at or maybe just happened to glance at and then read in detail in a really normal regular kind of way while looking for a pen in danny's office. and then at one point danny asks why steve is so obsessed with this list and keeps bringing it up, and steve, to my delight, says, "i don't have an obsession, i have a mild curiosity" which is already fun because it's just good, ridiculous phrasing in a nonsense argument (and we love that around here), but then the best part comes because he uses this as introduction for, "that you would a) write a list like that in the first place, and b) be so hypersensitive about it", and at this point the eagle-eared (or -eyed, if you have subtitles on. or are currently reading this post) observer might notice !!! that that's a list. steve is now writing a list about why he has an all day all consuming extremely determined mild curiosity about danny's list of Things I Like. so to complete the circle, let me now write a list about why i like steve's list about danny's list: a) it's a list. b) hehehehe they are so weird about each other. <3
7.18 & 8.09: “I know what you’re gonna say. I feel the same way.”
Or: a gifset I’m filing under Dammit Guys Please Let The Other Person Talk For A Minute And You Might Both Benefit Once You Realize You’re Still Alive Afterwards, Ugh, You Idiots.
As a longtime Hawaii Five-0 fan, I’m a little mad that Scott Caan is coming back to CBS to lead NCIS NY and not as Danny.
As a longtime Hawaii Five-0 fan, I laugh every time a news outlet uses a photo of the H50/NCIS LA crossover episode of the two of them together. Because why did they create a new character when they literally canonically had Scott playing a character with ties to New Jersey/New York and the Navy???
one thing that will always get me about danny freaking williams is how much he cares. god, the way he looks out for others always gets me choked up.
i was rewatching season 2, episode 6 and when danny realises that school had already ended and the victim's son was gonna be home soon, there was nothing else on his mind. the kid was the only thing that mattered. or the episode in which meka was killed. danny was ready to turn the whole hpd against him, not caring about the fact that every officer and steve doubted him. he believed in meka's innocence and was gonna prove it or die trying.
that’s just who danny is. he shows up for his kids, for his friends, the people he considers family. he'd go to the ends of the earth for them. and he has. he moved to hawai'i in the first place to be closer to his daughter and then continued to cross oceans, fight like hell and refuse to stop until he brought steve back home.
To this day it blows my mind that steady soldier Steve McGarrett came back to the Islands with one mission: to bury his father, hunt down the man that murdered him, and then go right back to his station with the SEALs. Steve was in his military prime, a promise of a long career ahead of him, not a single thing left in Hawaii to keep him tethered there. He only took the 5-0 job to regain control of his revenge as quickly as possible.
And then he met Danny Williams.
And somewhere in the course of about an hour, he flipped his entire life on its head and decided to actually stay, and rebuild an entire life from the ground up with that man instead.
Why McDanno from Hawaii 5-0 is an incredible and insane ship :
• Always calling each other babe (which yeah, for danny why not? He calls everyone babe (mostly Steve though)). But Steve he only calls Danny babe
• Constantly going on dates (like it's rarely justified as case related, sometimes the ep just starts and they're just hiking or fishing or whatever for no specific reason)
• The CONSTANT touching (I think there are multiple compilations on tumblr of just them touching each other, like them cuddling on the couch or Steve caressing Danny's neck, or Danny slapping Steve’s ass, or the regular bicep grab or torso slap)
• The I Love You's (which are only justified as platonic with I Love You, bro or I Love You man (sometimes not even that))
• The spanish "Te amo" instead of "Te quiero" translation
• "You're my Danno" (like what?)
• The whole fact that the show starts on the premis that 2.5 min after meeting Danny, Steve just changes his whole life trajectory and accepts to run a task force he didn't even want in the first place
• The usual "Basically raising a kid together" thing (Well 2 kids in their case)
• Steve mentioning that he loves Danny very much and is kind of married to him whilst he's on date with a woman
• The Carguments (they literally coined the term (I think?))
• The sharing organs thing (There was no hesitation just "here take a piece of my liver!")
• The Couple's Therapy (literal couple's therapy, Steve "misread" the pamphlet or whatever (which had a couple piggyback riding on it))
• The constant clocking of the characters ("are you talking to your wife"; "they in love again"; "I don't understand, I thought they weren't together?"; "How long have you two been married?"; "ok you two lovebirds" etc etc..)
• The buying a restaurant together (but it being a clear metaphor for marriage and the characters constantly comparing it to a marriage or referencing it like it's a marriage)
• The always entering each other's houses without knocking
• The eye fucking
• "I would have gone with the gay thing.. to you know keep our covers"
• "I'll give you a hug, I'll give you a kiss, pick a base"
• Steve caressing Danny's hand and arm
• "What are you wearing?" said over the phone
• Steve remembering exactly when they met to the minute
• "If I didn't put my finger inside of you, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now!"
• Them dancing together at Kono's wedding (+"you don't have to dance with me tonight" at Max's goodbye party)
• Danny comparing himself being worried about Steve to Tani being worried about Junior when it is heavily implied that Tani & Junior are in love
• Steve being more interested in watching a movie than making out with his girlfriend (+Plus always getting interrupted by Danny and ending up cuddling with him)
• Steve comparing himself to Danny's ex wife (After getting offended that Danny didn't consider him when making retirement plans because he just assumed it was agreed that they would spend the rest of their lives together)
• Just vibes atp
From here on out, it's mostly the actors doing things, but..
• The almost kissing blooper
• The "You've got the best ass and it's hanging out of a truck" blooper
• The fact that the actors were both on board (if I was told correctly) but that the showrunner was an absolute dick
smth about Steve always telling Danny he loves him when things get really serious and Danny always telling Steve he loves him when he's relieved, so they never urge to say it at the same time.
