#Mary Ann McGarrett

[brinleyparke]

Just to clear up any confusion about canon on Hawaii Five-0, I will list the facts here:

Steve's eyes are blue hazel. (Alex calls them "hazelly blue.")

Steve's parents are John and Doris.

Danny's parents are Eddie and Clara. His siblings are Matt, Stella (Eric's mother), and Bridgett.

In April 1992 (Steve was 16 and Mary was 10), Doris faked her death.

John told Mary and Steve that she was killed by a drunk driver.

Steve doesn't find out that his mother's "death" was actually murder until 1x11. Mary doesn't find out until somewhere between 1x11 and 1x13. She finds the pictures of the car bomb in 1x11, and in 1x13, we find out she was kidnapped because she had started asking questions about their mom's death.

After Doris' "death," Mary was sent to live with their Aunt Deb. Steve was sent to the Army and Navy Academy (ANA) in Carlsbad, California. Joe White (aka "Uncle Joe") helped get Steve into the school.

After graduating from ANA, Steve went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, for 4 years.

After graduating from Annapolis, Steve was with Naval Intelligence for 5 years, and then he joined the SEALs for 6 years.

It is implied a few times throughout the series that Steve was a sniper.

When Steve came back to Hawaii after his father's murder, he transferred to the Reserves.

Steve is fluent in Mandarin and Hawaiian, and he can speak conversational Korean and Japanese. He understands Pashto, but he says he is rusty.

STEVE IS NOT STUPID. He is actually very smart. Plus, he was in Naval Intelligence. Intelligence is in the name.

Kono has met John McGarrett before.

Even after Chin was accused of being a dirty cop by IA, John McGarrett stayed his friend.

Both of Kono's parents are still alive, but her mom had an aneurysm, so she can't walk or talk.

Meri, would you like to play that Tumblr game? If no - ok! 🙂 If yes, then: Mary 🙂

Sexuality Headcanon: High libido pansexual. This has a lot to do with the McGarrett family dynamic that happens. Mary is the baby and she was young when Doris "died". John being a product of that time really wasn't the best dad in a lot of ways but at least with Steve...he was a man. With Mary? Her puberty probably scared him the most and any talks if there were any probably had the opposite effect he wanted. The McGarretts are...emotionally guarded...even among themselves. They wanted to be strong for each other but that built walls even within the home. When Mary needed attention, as any child would and does, she didn't get any...unless she was acting out. How would she then get her dads and her big brother's attention? Wrong crowds and stuff and add it with the typical teenage hormones...I feel she explored that. With a variety of colorful characters. She was lonely and even if the relationships weren't strong enough to last before being sent away she searched for them because she wasn't getting the attention she wanted at home. Gender Headcanon: She/They. She grew up in a masculine dominated house hold. I think she was a tomboy that kept up with Steve and his friends well enough...and as she got older she also embraced her femininity but sometimes struggled with feeling womanly enough. In those moments they/them fits and carries her.

A ship I have with said character: Through talks and chats with @cowandcalf I see her with Kawika. It's really just based on the talks we've had. A BROTP I have with said character: Obviously I adore episodes with her and Steve. Getting an insight to their dynamic and how they rebonded after the gap and despite always being siblings becoming friends again. I do think she and Eric would have a fun friendship and they just hang out and get wasted sharing McGarrett and Williams family secrets.

A NOTP I have with said character: I really don't have one but that's really just because of how limited time we see her. A random headcanon: She sent Steve care packages while he was deployed. Maybe they didn't talk as much and he mostly went to see her physically when he needed to bail her out but I feel like they were trauma bonded enough that even if it's just a jar of Steve's favorite peanut butter or snack he'd share with her on those stressful nights as kids when their dad was out for a case and should have been home but wasn't and they were both silently worried about being orphans and he tried to cheer her up by sharing with her his favorite snack he'd been waiting to eat. Was their relationship strained? Sure, but I hate thinking of them as strangers so I like to believe he sent her post cards from every place he was deployed and she sent him care packages that reminded him he wasn't alone. General Opinion over said character: I think she's really fun. I wish we'd had more of her. Even if she couldn't be on screen, Steve mentioning any updates Mary would send him about Joanie and herself would have been so great...she did have the 'little sister' vibe amped up to 11 so as an older sibling myself could see the 'annoying' part but it's for the plot so...I wish we had a lot more of her. One of my favorite bit of McDanno fanart is Mary leaving a copy of the gay Kamasutra as a present to Steve because she's tired of him fussing about and not being with Danny already.

McDanno + 9 please

#9. meeting online au

Oooh, good suggestion, Anon! Here you go:

“What’s got you typing away over there?” Mary Ann asked her big brother.

Steve turned his laptop further away from her and said, “Nothing. Mind your own business.”

With a laugh, Mary Ann said, “What, are you sexting or something? I was just curious.”

Frowning at her, Steve insisted, “I’m not,” looking down at Joan sitting on the floor, Steve lowered his voice, “sexting.” In a normal tone, he told her, “There’s this car forum on here, and I was asking some questions about dad’s old Marquis.”

“Okay, that doesn’t explain the face.” She gave him a pointed look.

“What face?” Steve asked, still making the face. 

“You have a face.”

Groaning in frustration, Steve pointed at the screen and said, “There’s this one guy and he’s saying stuff that’s wrong!”

Mary Ann closed her eyes and took a calming breath. “A lot of people on the internet are wrong, Steve. What is it about this one?”

“He KEEPS ARGUING BACK!”

Needing to know what this argument was about, Mary Ann grabbed the computer and saw that Steve hadn’t been arguing with this guy via car forum. They’d been arguing via DM.

“Oh, my god, you like him!” Mary Ann cried, cackling when Steve ripped the computer out of her hands.

“I do not!” Steve insisted, closing the laptop. “He’s just wrong, and I have to tell him how wrong he is.”

“When’s the wedding?”

“Never,” Steve said, stomping up the stairs and slamming his bedroom door. 

Looking up from where she was coloring on the floor, Joan asked, “Mommy? Why is Uncle Steve so mad?”

“Sometimes, sweetie, grown ups are dumb,” she replied, smiling at her daughter. She leaned in and whispered, “Uncle Steve, especially.”

Joan grinned and went back to her art. Mary Ann snickered to herself and opened the shopping app on her phone. She put “The Joy of Gay Sex” into her shopping cart and hit the “check out now” button. Steve might just kill her when she gave it to him, but oh, the look on his face would be worth it.

LAST LINE OF WIP (or more):

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are words in the line.

Tagged by : @cowandcalf (Thanks for the tag babe!)

So there was a concept that started forever ago in an rp. My partner in that thread went on hiatus but I loved the concept so I turned it into a fic. It’s...complicated. To say the least. 

It’s a Hawaii 5-0/Three River’s crossover. Steve and Andy are twins that were separated at birth. Years later, Steve’s son ends up in Andy’s ER and secrets are revealed and so many questions raised. But now Andy, who had a goal and desire to be a father one day, was now in custody of a child who by genetic reasoning was his. Wanting to give the child time to recover from being in foster care and the streets they don’t rush into alerting the McGarrett’s...Thre River plot points later force Andy to bring Steve’s son to Hawaii. 

Steve’s struggling to adjust as fatherhood is thrust onto him along with so many new insane family secrets, a twin, and an uncle that could only be classified as evil. 

My intention is that this is pre-McDanno with Steve forcing Danny into his life because he needs help being a dad. And Danny is in the middle of this chaos, befriending both brothers in different ways, understanding both sides, and while trying to improve his life to be a better dad to Grace himself in a new environment, make sure that ultimately, Steve’s son, Jack, isn’t facing harm. 

TL:DR I gave the McGarrett family a BIG can of worms and it was opened and now Danny’s gotta help them deal with emotions. 

“I’m sorry.” 

Mary looks away from the window to look at Steve who was still watching Andy and Jack until their car was long out of sight. Despite being told the insane shit storm their family’s found themselves in, it didn’t feel real until she met them herself. Even if they were her family too, it was so much more different for Steve. Still, she was confused by his apology. “For what?” 

“Somewhere along the way I did stop being your brother. A good one, anyway. Feeling like a failure as a son isn’t new. There’s plenty I served with who were just like it, so it just seemed like part of the course. I ignored it, like everyone else does. But now it’s fucking me over...I don’t know how to be a son. I’ve proven not to know how to be a good brother...and there’s someone else with my face being a better father to my son.” 

“Hey...don’t do that. You helped me when I needed it! I didn’t need a friend when I fucked up, I needed someone who loved me...someone who would look out for me! And you did! I’m sorry too. For...not being good at being a sister to you either. But you know what? I know it’s hard...but you’re trying. And that’s already more than what dad did for us.”

“Mmm...”

“Look. Siblings are their own species. We’ll figure out a plan of a attack together about what to do about Andy. As for Jack...well, you got a secret weapon. He may wear ties in Hawaii for some reason but that DILF you scored to be your partner is the perfect model you need to know what kind of dad your son deserves.”

Things I’ve learnt while binge watching Hawaii Five 0 during lockdown...part 4

17.  Until this COVID19 enforced Hawaii Five-0 binge watching, I had only vaguely known Alex O'Loughlin as Holly Valance’s boyfriend

Forgive me - but I didn’t really make the link between this fairly standard shaggy haired Aussie male circa the early 2000′s....

With this guy....weird, right?  Amazing what a decent haircut will do.

Also - unlike say a Hemsworth, Bana or Crowe - his American accent is pretty decent.

18. The gag reels are to DIE For.

As with any great love affair/obsessive compulsive behaviour the research spiral is long and deep...this is my favourite combo of gag reels simply because it’s McDanno centric and for the ‘what’s the line, what’s the line, WHAT’S the line’ at 1:22, the commentary on the seatbelts at 2:45 and ‘Is there anybody out there? We’re going from the top yeah’ at 3:33.  Yeah, welcome to the rabbit hole.

There’s more here:

https://www.alexoloughlinonline.com/hawaii-five-o-blooper-and-gag-reels/

19. The show is 7 kinds of problematic - but I can’t stop watching it.

ASIDE:  My mother watches this show - and now, thanks to COVID19, I’ve turned into my mother.  

How problematic is this show? So many dumb plots...

I have to defuse this nuclear device to save the world - babe, strap a car battery to my chest for protection.

A freakin Soviet submarine rocked up in HNL bay and only I can solve the crime and save international relations.

I solved the unsolvable case from 1941 in a dream - and I was my grandfather????

I rescued my Smol and friends by picking up the whole house with my helo.

But then, so many good episodes, that covered some important themes...

Japanese Internment Camps during WW2

Veteran’s return

Hawaiian sovereignty

Sex trafficking

So many stoopid characters...

The follicly challenged recurring Sang Min - stoopid but enjoyable

Kono leaves but this guy gets to see Season 10???? WTF Hirsch???

These two - WHHHHHY???  So unnecessary and so poorly handled.

This guy - ugh - JOE “I know all the secrets AND I’m not telling you for your own safety but I will say enough that you end up not trusting me and then I will tell you everything and die in your arms because your whole freakin life hasn’t been traumatic enough!’ WHITE. Ugh - the worst!!

And then not enough of these awesome characters....

Can I have a whole show about Mary & Joan and how they come back to Hawaii and live with Uncle Steve and turn his life upside down?

I kinda need the whole Navy dad and Nahele storyline like I need air to breathe - amiright? 

If we are having Mary & Joan then we need Bridget as well - and I love Missy Peregrym!  Are all Danno’s siblings taller than him?

Steve should have got an Eddie in Season one!

Danny stifled a chuckle, shaking his head a little. “Where is he sending you?”

“Who?”

“Your dad, dumbass,” Danny rolled his eyes. “Where is he sending you?”

or

In which Steve decides that two months before he's being sent away is a good time to tell Danny what he feels.

Rewatching H50 s1 is an exercise in continuity... What the hell happened to Mary?

She gets to the island and is office-bound with babysitters until she slips out, then she’s still living at the house when Catherine finally comes ashore, then she’s just gone. No mention of “oh can’t do drinks Friday, Mary’s making dinner” or even “yeah Mary got a rental house to give me privacy” or w/e else excuse they could’ve come up with. She’s literally disappeared until she’s kidnapped, or did I miss something? Lol.

Hawaii Five-0 Fic Ideas/Prompts Masterlist

Steve gets a CornerShot for the armory.

Career day at Grace's or Charlie's school (Grace or Charlie asks Steve to come)

Veteran's day at Grace's or Charlie's school:

Grace or Charlie have to write a letter to a soldier. Grace or Charlie writes one to Steve.

One of Grace's teachers asks her if her Uncle Steve could come and talk about what it means to serve your country and about the meaning of sacrifice.

Nahele tells Steve he wants to join the Navy

Grace tells Danny that she wants to join the Navy bc she wants to be like Auntie Catherine. (McRollins)

Charlie tells Danny that he wants to join the Navy bc he wants to be like Uncle Steve. (Gen, McKono, or McRollins)

Early season 1 – Steve's thoughts on fireworks

After seeing how he reacted when he thought he heard real gunfire (when it was really coming from a video game) in 4x07, I thought about how he'd react to fireworks (especially in season 1), which they seem to have pretty often in Hawaii. Also based on the song "A Soldier's Memoir" by Joe Bachman

Spn x-over: (gen or McKono or McRollins) Maybe John Winchester knew Joe or John McGarrett. While on a case in Hawaii, Sam and Dean notice the name in their dad's journal. Even if Joe never met John W., he knew about him from John M. telling him about him. When Steve and Danny arrest Dean and maybe Sam, too, Joe tells them to let them go.

Spn x-over: Steve is open-minded and trusts his gut and believes Sam and Dean are good guys.

Spn x-over: Maybe Steve's house is haunted, or maybe there's a case that's weird. He remembers seeing something in his dad's stuff. He finds what he's looking for. It's a piece of paper or a sticky note or something that says "John Winchester" with a phone number and says, "Call this number if anything weird happens," or something along those lines.

Reacher (TV show) x-over: Post 3x20 – Reacher decides to go to Hawaii because why not? He ends up getting framed for murder again because that's just his luck. Five-0 gets the case. Steve sees Reacher and looks like he's seen a ghost. Steve believes that Reacher didn't do it. The Five-0 team thinks Steve isn't thinking straight. It's up to Steve, Reacher, and Catherine to prove Reacher's innocence.

Steve goes to Jersey with Danny (gen)

Renee tries to convince Lou to give Steve a chance, to get to know Steve.

Alicia Brown/Steve

Steve has a son and names him Freddie.

Chin remembers Steve as a teenager.

Slight AU where Steve adopts Nahele.

Steve and kids from cases/crime scenes

Ellie tells Lynn about Steve.

Season 2: Kamekona notices Steve has lost weight.

Kelly (Freddie's widow) and her daughter come to Hawaii. Her daughter wants to know more about her father. Kelly knows Steve was a big part of Freddie's life, so she wants her daughter to know him, too.

Since they never said what her name was, I think maybe the daughter could be named Stephanie. Maybe Kelly did it as a way to show Steve she didn't blame him for what happened to Freddie.

Kelly (Freddie's widow) gets a new job somewhere and sees or finds something she shouldn't, so now she and her daughter are in danger. Being too scared to call the police and not knowing who else to call, she calls Steve. Steve tells her to get on the first flight to Hawaii. She and her daughter make it to Hawaii. Steve protects them.

NSFW: Steve has sensitive nips (gen, McKono, McRollins, Noelani/Steve, Alicia Brown/Steve, or Lynn/Steve)

NSFW: Steve/Kono/Adam

[commandersmoothdog]

Based on this post, which asks, “To the muse. Is there something you regret doing?”

Since I got a question involving Mary yesterday, seeing this made me want to add one of Steve’s regrets. 

Mary. 

Not reaching out to her more. If I’m honest with you guys, there were moments when I’m thinking about Danny’s family and even if canon fucked with Danny in later seasons, you know him to be a family man. Either as the world’s best father or as a brother to all his siblings...there are moments when I think ‘man, there’s some sibling stuff Steve can’t understand cos he’s an only ch-’ and then I remember that Steve isn’t an only child! 

So one of my many peeves with the show is how selective they are with choosing when McGarretts or topics of McGarretts are convenient. And look, I get that the actress who played Mary might not have been available for too many episode, but with the same gripe I have of less Grace in later seasons, even as she’s off to college...could they not have added them to the dialogue? 

Could they not have photoshopped a picture of Mary and Joan for Steve to be framing on the fridge or somewhere? Like...Joan’s in ballet or something and it’s her first big recital and Mary sent a picture of them after and Steve gets it via snail mail at the beginning of the episode and by the end of the episode Danny’s gotten him a frame for it? 

Like how hard is it to sprinkle in more Mary and Joan and more Grace into carguments between the boys? 

But anyway....My Steve regrets being so angry and bitter with John and the McGarrett legacy that’s in Hawaii that he pushes it all aside, including Mary. She lost their parents too. She was just as lost and yet possibly more neglected in some aspects. While Steve had the male soldier lime light shining on him...as the girl and second child and canon’s writing...Mary was all but written out of John and Doris’ minds. Same way they put more attention to Eddie’s ptsd than Steve’s, they had Doris put more effort near the end toward’s Joan than Mary. Like maybe there’ more legal action in there or maybe she knew that Mary burned her bridges with her and time was running out and she wanted some very last minute guilt cleansing....I dunno...Just... #JusticeForMaryMcGarrett. 

As much as my Steve loves Joan, whenever he looks at her he feels this deep rooted shame. 

The fact that his baby sister felt neglected enough to want to make her own family without waiting to find a partner breaks his heart. I know what you’re all thinking though, and no I’m not discrediting Aunt Deb. She’s the reason Mary didn’t end up with some low life and confusing abuse for love just to be part of a family. But Aunt Deb’s sheer amazingness as a human being could not protect Mary from the McGarrett childhood trauma’s completely...Mary began to make her own family even after her brother returned home because she didn’t trust to be part of his direct family because they are broken. 

Danny and Five-Oh let Mary see that Steve was breaking the cycle, and that he wasn’t going to go away or run from family anymore, and made them family again.  

(Which by the way is another fucking reason why the finale fucking sucks. If Mary heard Steve left Danny the way he did, it would bring back a shit ton of memories of Steve leaving her in a time that was pretty intense and changing and honestly Steve would lose so much with Mary because she would side with Danny. This is even worse because at least when Steve left her, it was their dad making it. This choice coming from Steve was like going back to the fucking McGarrett cycle of misery.)
