[giandujakiss]

AKA, how I spent my Sunday....

Song: Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel
Fandom: Hawaii Five-0

Summary: Full immunity and means.

Spoilers: Through 1x18

Sizes: 30 MB (540 x 360 .divx), 14 MB (420 x 280 .wmv)

Download from Sendspace: The .divx file is here and the .wmv file is here.

Notes: Honestly, this vid is more catharsis for me than anything else. I can't help 'shipping Steve and Danny, but I really resent the show for making it impossible for me to love them guilt-free, and for making me feel so ashamed about liking the parts that I like. So I felt like I had to at least register my objections in some way, however weak the effort may be, in between all the devouring of Steve/Danny first-time fic. IDEK.

Back when I was watching SGA, I used to roll my eyes so hard at the "John is a sociopath!" people, but now I have some sympathy for them, because honestly that's how I feel about Steve half the time. Danny gets more of a pass from me, because at least he *says* the right things, but this vid makes it uncomfortably clear that he participates in the violence more than I'd remembered.

Good song choice. When I was hoping that someone would make a vid like this, I was imagining various punk classics like The Clash's "Know Your Rights" or the Au Pairs' "Armagh" -- they have choruses that are obviously appropriate to the topic, but the verses don't really fit. I like the slight indirectness of this better.

I'm glad you liked the song choice, thank you! And yeah, Danny doesn't get a pass from me - he participates quite a bit, and his protests are rather ineffectual.

When Danny drove the guy around on top of his car, Steve asked what Danny would have done if Steve tried something like this, and Danny said he would have arrested him. I am now absolutely longing to see that happen - so badly, I want Steve to go off on someone again - just in the ordinary way he does on the show - and for Danny to arrest him and throw him in a cell until he calms down. I can't stand how much I want to see that.
