i picked you, didn't i?

-the first time we see steve actually smile it’s because of chin ho kelly, and i just think that’s really sweet

-soft danny with grace!!!! adorable!!!!

-when steve and danny meet they go from screaming to soft voice in about 0.1 seconds (”i’m not putting my gun down” // “neither am i”) and yes they go back to yelling v soon but like?? it’s cute

-when steve calls the governor to tell her he found something that changed his mind he’s looking directly at danny and not the box and you can’t tell me that doesn’t mean anything

-danny’s clearly mixed feelings about steve, see: the smirk on his face when steve just lets himself into his house vs. his very much annoyed face when steve goes “we’re gonna get along great”

-”you are the backup.” // “i’m the backup. i hate him. i hate him so much.”

-the “get your finger out of my face” and THE punch!!!! iconic

-FIRST CARGUMENT

-a very rare sight, steve mcgarrett paying with his own wallet!!!

-chin laughing at steve and danny in kamekona’s t-shirts

-“i take it you have the perfect guy in mind?” // “oh yeah” *cuts to kono surfing, the guys saying she’s talented, and then we see kono punch a guy*

-kono being a badass in general (amazing)

-chin and kono being the absolute sweetest

-steve and danny have known each other for like, 2 seconds, but they’re already hanging out and drinking beers together!! also, steve saying “you’re a good father” to danny?? SOFT

-“what kind of cops are you?” // “the new kind” asahfdjfk steve you don’t gotta always be so dramatic my dude

-the first “book’em, danno” + VERY fond steve smile

-steve buying those hotel tickets for danny and grace??? i cry

-the ohana feeling already at the end of the very first episode, so lovely

danny: grr grr your island culture is strange and unusual

“Hey, it’s snowing outside.”

“God, you’re shivering so much— just take my jacket.”

“Don’t you dare throw that snowball.”

“Let’s cuddle to stay warm.”

“I made you hot chocolate, with marshmallows, of course.”

“I got you a present.”

“You’ve never seen snow before?”

“I swear I didn’t plan this, but… we’re under the mistletoe right now.”

“Come sit by the fireplace with me.”

“Help me wrap up these presents.”

“Let’s bake cookies!”

“If I freeze to death, I’m blaming you.”

“Just hold my hand, I won’t let you slip.”

“I guess we’re stuck here until the snow dies down.”

“So, are you going to be my New Year’s kiss?”

“My snowman looks better than yours.”

“If you play one more Christmas song, I’m going to smash my head through the wall.”

“We need to go buy a Christmas tree.”

“I’m not telling you what your gift is, you’re going to have to wait until Christmas!”

“Do I smell burning?”

“By the way, I might’ve told everyone that you’re my date because I didn’t want to go to this Christmas party alone.”

“Oh, we definitely have to go ice skating now that I know you’ve never done it before!”

“Come decorate the Christmas tree!”

“Oh no, we need to go emergency gift shopping right now!”

“I’ve never seen such an ugly sweater before. I love it.”

“Uh, surprise! I’m your Secret Santa.”

“You’re going to be home for the holidays, right?”

“Our gingerbread house is falling apart!”

“Oh, I need a lot more wine to get me through this dinner.”

“Ugh, I’ve caught a cold.”

“I have about thirty more Christmas cards to write and I’m nowhere near finished.”

“You can’t go outside in this weather.”

“I swear, I’ve never met anyone as festive as you.”

“God, is our first kiss really going to be under the mistletoe?”

“Dinner is supposed to start in twenty minutes and I’ve burned half the food and don’t have time to cook the rest.”

“I’m freezing my ass off.”

“I promise you, my parents are delighted to have you over for the holidays, and they’re so excited to meet you.”

“I need another blanket.”

“Your hands are so cold.”

“Our gingerbread men look like gingerbread blobs.” 

“Exactly how many candy canes have you eaten?”

“You’re lucky I love you, or else I would kill you for spilling hot chocolate all over my favorite sweater.”

“Surprise! I’m your Christmas gift.”

“Do you want some tea?”

“Is that my scarf?”

“You’ve had some brilliant ideas in the past, but driving through a snowstorm only to get stuck on the road has truly been your best idea.”

“Let’s frost the cookies!”

“I hate the cold so much.”

“Do we really need another box of sparkly, glittery ornaments?”

“Best Christmas ever.”

“Who knew you were actually a decent baker?”

“I didn’t think it was possible for someone to suck so badly at gift wrapping, but here you are.”

“You can’t tell them Santa’s not real!”

“I hate Christma—” “Don’t you dare finish that sentence.”

“Let’s just stay in here, where it’s warm.”

“Please just come to this New Year’s party with me.”

“Look! Fireworks!”

“You look adorable covered in snow.”

“I bet I’m a faster ice skater than you.”

“I kind of got too drunk at this New Year’s party and I need you to pick me up.”

“That is the most hideous sweater I’ve ever seen, and yet, somehow, you’re pulling it off.”

“It’s our first holiday together.”

“I got matching sweaters for us and the cat!”

“I’m still mad at you, but I’m going to ignore our argument just for today since it’s Christmas.”

“How could you not tell me your parents are coming over today?!”

“I told you to wear a bigger jacket.”

“Hey, careful, you’re going to slip!”

“You just saved Christmas.”

“How did you manage to get tangled in the lights?”

“Please don’t tell me you’re going out wearing the tinsel like a scarf.”

“I’m glad I get to spend the holidays with you.”

“Fuck it, a new year is about to start, and I can’t go another year hiding this from you — I love you.”

“Hey, you were the one who insisted on throwing a Christmas party, even when I told you it’d be a nightmare to plan!”

“Can you help me put the star on top of the tree?”

“If I fall, I’m dragging you down with me.”

“Your snow angel looks deformed.”

“I suck at giving gifts, but… I hope you still like it.”

“We’re totally putting this picture on the Christmas cards.”

“Did you spike our hot chocolate?”

“It’s New Year’s. Of course I’m drunk.”

“I got us matching Christmas socks.”

“Please tell me you kept the dog in the other room, away from the presents.”

“Hey, you started this snowball fight, and now I have to finish it.”

“We need a bigger tree!”

“Yeah, I’ve never made a pie before, but how hard can it be?”

“How are you not cold?!”

“I know it’s cliché but… all I want for Christmas is you.”

“I usually hate the holiday season, but it’s a little more bearable with you.”

“Are you still mad because I ate the last cookie?”

“Winter is the best season.” “I beg to differ.”

“Please just dress up as Santa for the kids.”

“I’m telling you, going down this snowy hill on your makeshift sleigh is a bad idea.”

“I wish you could be here to celebrate with us.”

“Oh, you’re so warm, don’t ever let go of me.”

“It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year!”

“I refuse to go outside, it’s like the North Pole out there!”

“I was hoping I’d see you at this party.”

“Just step a little closer to me… to your left… woah! Would you look at that, we’re under the mistletoe, what a complete and utter coincidence!”

“I will treasure this gift forever.”

Mr. Pickles agrees - March 10th should be Hawaii Five-0 Day!!!

Which means we have roughly 100 days until we celebrate Steve’s birthday AND our awesome show! 🤙🍤❤️🤙🍤

I’m gonna throw out some ideas and see what the Hawaii Five-Ohana wants to do?

also, also - I’m either super organized or a complete mess (my disabilty comes with its own randomizer chart. yay!!!) so I will do my best to keep posting reminders—but y’all have been warned😂😂😂

I know other fandoms have re-watch parties. We could watch the pilot and one other episode? I have NO idea how other fandoms do this, so if anybody knows how this works…

I do have digital copies of all the episodes. I could put the pilot and the ‘top ten’ episodes in google drive. Then we could take a survey of what the second episode for the rewatch party will be? would that work?

if so, then I need a list of what y’all think the top ten episodes (besides the pilot) are!

Would y’all like to do a bingo card challenge? I could post bingo cards in January, so people have plenty of time to make stuff!

If so, then what about saying anything goes for the bingo challenge—fic, art, photos, vids, etc. What do y’all think?

Another thing that might be fun is all of us doing ‘3 recs and 10 things’ posts that day:

3 recs for cool H50 fan stuff (3 great fanvids, 3 favorite fanfics, etc)

10 things from show (10 funny moments, 10 whump moments, 10 ohana moments, etc)

again, what does the Hawaii Five-Ohana think? would that be a fun but easy way to celebrate 3-10?

things we really need: Some March 10th graphics and pix, cheerleaders and rebloggers, and enthusiasm! and maybe a Camaro😁

sadly, I can think of no way to gift every amazing person is this fandom their very own buttercream grenade-shaped cake. Although I guess we could pass the salt…

any other ideas or things or challenges? Something you think would be fun or cool to do?

Lets throw our fandom — and Steve —the biggest birthday ever!!!!🥳🎂🥳🎂🥳

I tagged as many H50 blogs both past and present as I could but tumblr only allows 50 blogs so…
