Danny’s relationship with Amberlissa really grosses me out.

They start “dating” right when Danny is just starting to realise that his beloved little girl is growing up, and he’s about to go through the difficult teenage years in which she doesn’t think her dad is cool anymore, and she might even have relationships with boys.

Literally right after going through this angst, Danny starts dating someone who is practically a teenager himself. She’s like half his age. It is so gross. It’s also OOC as Danny’s been pretty dad-like in response to other very young women in the past including being upset at grown men sexualising very young women or teenage girls in the past.

Mega age differences make me incredibly grossed out, but much more so when the massive age difference relationship is literally started in response to being upset at his daughter growing up. *tries not to think of the implications*

gross gross gross gross gross

Just date Steve, Danny - he’s at least age appropriate for you...

shudders

remember that one time when

I just have so much love for this scene.

Steve in his element, comical but not grotesque. The girls going ‘ooohh’ softly. Danny’s miserable face. The deadass seriousness on grandpa’s face when he’s talking about wild man eating boars roaming around them at the moment as Danny is dreaming about flower pillows. The fact that Steve’s unwilling to change the topic solely because he knows he’s earning these little gals’ attention and makes them go ooohhh hahahahaha.

- I once saw a boar kill a tiger… in INDIA

- ooOOOooOOoOOHHhh

I love this whole scene. You bet your ass I’d be sitting there on a log, among these eleven year olds, with my knees up to my ears, going ooohh as he throws the knife into the tree lmao

he brings in the joy of learning and cuteness of a grown man tending children together, and spices it up with brutality of stabbing a boar in between its shoulder blades

The fact that McGarrett is determined to teach little girls how to kill a beast is comedy gold, also, Lucy is one of the best female characters on the show. l o v e i t

Perfection.

I just love how Steve sometimes goes all out to impress kids and be the “cool uncle”. Danny gets the most interaction with kids in the series (not just his own, either - he usually steps in with child crime victims) and he has the most experience, but Steve just clearly shows here that he really loves the opportunity to spend time with kids and have their rapt attention.

It’s so lovable.

[mcdannomoment]

anyone else sometimes get to scenes where Steve goes mega-americana, super patriotic hand over heart saluting the flag and just think “that’s an australian”

[mcdannomoment]

Up to s4 in my rewatch.

If I had more brain I would write more about this, but I’ll just say: I’m really noticing that Steve’s default move is to lock Danny out whenever Steve gets stressed.

Sometimes it’s about personal things, like Danny asks what’s wrong and Steve insists nothing is happening even though really he’s worried and upset about his mother. But he does it for every form of stress. In the s3 finale Danny goes off at Steve after Steve shuts down and refuses to tell Danny what the plan is while Steve is literally driving Danny towards a potential firefight and he is going to make him help in freeing some known terrorists - without even telling him! Steve only actually tells Danny the plan that Danny is already involved in after Danny goes off at him, shouting and insisting (rightly) that he at least be informed where he’s being taken and what he’s being asked to do.

I think it’s a stress response from Steve to shut down like this. It does sort of link in to my “finale feelings” post - I see Steve as being very self-absorbed and viewing Danny as a prop part in Steve’s life. I do not think this is a “bad thing” which is what most people think when they hear “X is self absorbed”. It just is a trait Steve gravitates towards and needs to monitor. Danny helps him open up and that is why Danny is included more and more in Steve’s life as time goes on, but when Steve gets stressed, he reverts to type and shuts down. And he can forget the needs of others and the value of including others. Steve feels the need to control the situation. If he doesn’t tell Danny what is going on, Danny can’t argue, which gives Steve more control, which is what he craves when he is stressed.

I really love their relationship. Danny is great for Steve in that he pushes him to consider others more and include other people in his life and in his decisions. Steve is great for Danny in that he pushes Danny to expand his horizons a little and helps Danny try new things - Danny has a tendency to avoid new experiences and when he does try new things, it’s always because someone else pushed him (Steve is the most obvious example, but you also see it with Grace - Danny is more than willing to try new things if they will make Grace happy).

Both of them help the other have a healthier, more well rounded life.

so I’m now up to 4x09, in which Steve discovers that his beloved Aunt Deb is dying. For the first time, he directly seeks out Danny, explains the problem to him without being prodded, and asks Danny for his advice. That’s huge - it’s just an indication of how Steve is starting to open up and let Danny into his life properly.

He does ask advice in a very “Steve” way though! He asks Danny how he can make Deb change her mind - Steve thinks she should pursue any treatment available, and Deb just wants to live out her remaining days in peace. Steve being Steve still wants to retain control of the situation and make others do what he wants.

Danny gives Steve the advice he may not want, but the advice he needs. He tells Steve his advice is “you don’t change her mind” - Danny thinks Steve should let Deb handle the situation the way she has chosen, and Steve should accept that, accept what is coming and his lack of control in the situation, and move on.

It’s a big episode for Steve’s character development. And it goes to solidify how important Danny is for him.

[mcdannomoment]

It makes me irrationally annoyed that Steve and Mary call her “Aunt Deb” and not “Auntie Deb”.

Like... they’re meant to be Hawaiian, no?

(I did not grow up in Hawaii but did spend some time growing up on a similar Pacific island that had a similar cultural approach to calling elders Uncle and Auntie. “Aunt” sounds so foreign and weird to me and idk why they say it in this show...)

[mcdannomoment]

Remember that utterly ridiculous plot in the finale when Steve had to break a code to free Danny and so he runs to “the greatest codebreaker that ever was or ever will be” and it’s Catherine, and we were all like, “hang on, she has literally never displayed any sort of codebreaking or related skill in the past ever.”

Well I’m rewatching 4x3 and they have a code that needs breaking, and Steve calls Catherine and asks her to “get the navy cryptography department on it.”

So it’s absolutely canon that Catherine has zero personal knowledge or expertise at codes. You can’t become a cryptography world master in the 6 years or so between 4x3 and the finale - especially when we know Catherine spent most of that time not studying cryptography and instead doing other jobs...

so I just thought of something I think is super cute

so Steve definitely knows how to sew - he would need to know so he could stitch up tears he gets in his clothes while off on missions in the middle of nowhere and so that he could do some emergency stitches if he or a teammate gets injured.

meanwhile Danny is a shorty who definitely needs pants taken up

so I just imagined Danny heading out the door with a bag of clothes, Steve asks him where he is going, and when Danny tells him Steve offers to do his hems for him <3

and Steve just lovingly does all Danny’s tailoring needs from then on <3

30 Days of Hawaii Five-0

18. Best OMG! scene. That’s a lie too, you love me.

[mcdannomoment]

The confidence on Steve’s face when he says that last line! He knows exactly how much Danno loves him <3

[mcdannomoment]

*tries not to think about how danny opened up to steve about how much he struggled with always predicting the worst things to come and steve said he loved him but that wasn’t a healthy way to live and the worst wouldn’t always happen and danny said he loved steve too*

*and then steve abandoned danny while he was still injured to run off with catherine*

*and how that moment probably shattered the last bit of trust danny ever had*

*and he didn’t even have grace there with him, he was left completely alone*

[mcdannomoment]

guess who’s back

back again

Anyway yeah I vanished off the face of the earth, this year has been crazy. I bought a house and that was super stressful so I haven’t done anything else in forever

But now I am working on giving every single H50 episode a letter grade for the McDanno featured ahahaha. Episodes are given high marks for believability of McDanno ship content and how cute they are, and low marks are for episodes where they don’t interact, or when they are trying to push another ship, or something like that.

I still have no clue what to grade the finale... like it should get an A for Steve’s reaction to “the most important person in the world to him” being hurt, but an F for how Steve abandons Danny in the end...

[mcdannomoment]

Oh my god, be a little more obvious why don’t you boys

This is kinda unreal... Danny doing that with his tongue... then giving Steve the most obvious fuck-me eyes I have ever seen... then Steve swallowing like he’s trying to wish away his sudden boner... wow.

There’s no way this isn’t on purpose...

Top 10 McDanno moments

oh dude, making an actual list like that would take me a day, because i’m Very Bad at picking favorites and also because there’s like, literally ten seasons’ worth of moments to choose from in the first place.

a few strong contenders off the top of my head, though, in no particular order:

d: “what’s the matter with you?” / s: “i love you.” for the fact that it’s a) still a totally insane sequence of words, b) one of their three mutual i love yous on screen, which is good anyway, and c) wonderful pining steve material, as well as just, potentially the most honest reflection on their relationship from steve’s side that we ever got

pretty much the entire episode where they transport that nuclear bomb through the jungle. steve’s snooping, the first scene where they have their relationship argument in front of an entire class of innocent academy students, the “are you comparing our relationship to my failed marriage?”, the bit where danny tells steve not to say anything and steve sneaks in an i love you anyway, the bit where steve calls danny a beloved curmudgeon, when they’re squeezed under the truck together, when steve asks danny to name his friggin’ restaurant for him and rambles about being together even when they’re not together (restaurants and boats, if you name them after a person people are absolutely going to assume it’s your spouse), That Look steve throws at danny through the window at the very end of the episode.

when danny tells steve he’s a half-baked cookie and goes “that’s why i love you, babe”, because it’s just. it’s a lot.

actually, the first time steve says he loves danny, when they’re trapped under that building! danny’s been nothing but incredibly negative and he builds this huge tension before telling steve he really really hates him and steve just laughs along and goes “i love you too” because he does and he knows danny, and then once they’re finally out steve waits until danny says it back.

“you don’t have to dance with me tonight” while they’re sitting unnecessarily close together during max’s going away party, purely for the fact that i was so convinced i must have heard that wrong the first time i watched it that i went back three times. it was still the same. i still don’t know how that made it into the episode.

when danny talks about coming into work one day and seeing your partner in a different light, and he goes “know what i mean?” and steve is all quiet and says “i do”. also when steve keeps offering to go everywhere with danny that episode while danny confides in him. the episode in which danny says he once fell for his partner after he had spent every day with her and she was the only person he confided in. that episode.

season 10, maybe just, uh, in its entirety. sunshine, emotional support friend, danny being the person everyone goes to if they’re worried about steve, bad guys knowing to target danny if they want to hit steve where it hurts, moving in, sharing beds, parent-teacher meetings, the extremely half-hearted attempts at dating other people, valentine’s day cuddles, “it’s kinda like his love language for me” - season 10 truly has it all.
