Do you mayhaps have any more Davy Baby thoughts to spare?🤲

Sorry this took a bit to get to! I’ve been busy and a little brain dead so thoughts haven’t been coming so easily but I guess I’ll talk about Davy when he gets a bit older!

In my personal little monkees universe davy loses his mom young like real davy did in real life. He starts flying out to England a lot from like ‘70-‘72 to visit his father who gets sick (his sister starts paying for his flights so it makes it easier). Of course all the boys are distraught when Davy’s over in England. Micky and Peter miss their friend and Mike makes himself sick worrying if Davy’s okay over there. The one who it’s the hardest for though is Davy who’s without his friends and helping out his father, who the whole family is worried might die. He gets judged pretty heavily by his oldest sister and extended family for being a long hair hippie kid, so he feels pretty isolated and just worried for his father all the time.

On top of that, England reminds him of being a kid, for better or for worse. He’s back in his childhood room, and he’s back with his family. There’s reasons why he left england in the first place (not like awful stuff, more just feeling stifled and wanting to “be free” (haha) (“I wanna be free” is the first song he writes on his own. mike is very surprised cause he didn’t really know davy had it in him to pull his weight in songwriting and secretly very proud), and just feeling judged by his family for not meeting their expectations. Young davy idolized americans and had dreams of being a star, but his father and grandfather were not happy about him leaving and pursuing “impractical” things, which is why he tries to prove to his grandfather he’s successful and alright and made the right choice going to california)

But davy feels stuck and alone, with no easy way to get back to his friends—who he’s definitely started to think of as home, more home than england—unless he wants to take a whole plane ride and have to make grand excuses to his whole family. So he just feels awful whenever he’s there for too long. The boys have each other to lean on. Peter misses and worries about davy but mike assures him davy’s alright. Davy’s stuck in his bedroom. So he calls Mike.

It starts as “call us when you get there so we know you’re alright” and he calls up most nights to see how everyone is and update them on what he’s doing, but it starts that, after Micky or peter inevitably hand the phone over to mike, and mike asks him how he’s doing, davy just breaks down. He feels really small and just lets it all out over the phone. Poor thing is crying and Mike feels awful because there’s really nothing he can do but say “you’ll come back soon and we’ll be okay” and “we love you davy” (every time davy comes home the boys all give him a giant hug in the airport with lots of jumping and yelling and picking up and spinning and maybe some kisses on the forehead and davy always clings to mike really hard for a few days afterward and mike doesn’t say anything about it but he doesn’t mind. just holds davy when he needs it and is there for him)

eventually davy’s dad does pass away and mike would never admit this but deep in him he’s kind of relieved it finally happened because davy being away all the time was stressful on all of them, both money-wise and finding gigs and establishing their image as a four-piece group, but also just because they were all always worried about each other or worried davy would get sucked back into his life in england, and davy was always stressed out about his father even when he came back to California. So it’s not a good thing that his father has passed, but they can have some peace of mind now.

But his dad’s passing hits davy like a brick because, well, there goes both of his parents. They all go off to england for the funeral with him and davy stays quiet for most of the early time. Just silent and big eyed and keeping up appearances and all. Mike sees him break little bits at a time and he lets davy sleep in his bed at night and mike holds him close and rubs his back and sings to him. It isn’t until they get back to the pad that davy just breaks down. inconsolable crying and panicking and all. He feels orphaned and upset and horrified that he could lose someone like that. He basically spends a long time in a very fragile state and mike starts taking very special care of him. He goes full mumma.

Davy has always been pretty baby, but now he’s gone from bratty, rebellious toddler, to very sad, weepy little boy. he’s always with mike and mike makes sure he’s eating and drinking water and gives him bubble baths and things and lets him sit on his lap and reads to him and sings him silly little songs and just lets davy be as little as he needs to be. Davy, still the little attention hog that he is does eat all of this up and is full on attached to mike, lovey dovey and snuggly. Peter also snuggles with davy a lot of the time because he’s just calm and warm and nice. (micky can be a lot. he’s very good with davy, but sometimes the baby is taking a nap (and drooling on mikes shoulder, but so it goes when you’re a long-suffering mother) and mike needs to just firmly tell micky that he needs to stop shaking the house and barking or something)

Davy starts, jokingly at first, calling mike “mum” at this point, and micky pokes fun at him saying he’s Davy’s mama, but eventually davy starts calling him “mumma” when he’s really all soft (and mike internally melts because davy starts saying mumma when he’s all sleepy curled up on mikes lap and he’s just so darn precious to mike with his big eyes and button nose chewing on his thumb and trying not to suck on it and clutching onto mikes shirt) and, yknow, mike just asks davy one time, (because mikes growing out a beard at this point because it’s the 70s and he looks very much not like someone’s mother) if maybe he’d like to say “papa” or something. Davy is like “no, you’re mumma” and mikes like, “okay so i just have to deal with this now” and accepts that he is a mom now (he thinks of himself as “mama”, but starts to realize to Davy he’s “mumma” and mike thinks about that for a time and decides that that’s sweet as all hell)

But yes, mike is mumma and davy is slowly healing. Davy’s definitely being babied for maybe longer than he “should have” been (and pushing his luck with mike and being a little shit again because he’s so so spoiled) but it really does help him out. and he gets pampered and coddled and pulled around in a red wagon for a bit because he’s just that damn spoiled.

I’m sorry this is going on for so long and got pretty sad honestly but I have a BIT more!!

So davy starts to go back to business as normal (even though at the pad he’s so totally all baby for like the better part of the early 70s) but he does start to tell Mike to let him be more independent and that he’d like to just try to move on. So mike lets him (inside he’s pretty hurt. he misses his baby!!) and they do still cuddle and stay very close and Davy still chills in his lap and takes naps on him and holds onto Mike’s shirt very tightly, but some things ease up slowly. Davy goes out with micky and they look for chicks and things and mike stops reading bedtime stories to Davy. (he dearly misses that and it makes him pretty sad. he reads to peter a lot though so he’s not completely without someone to take care of) davy doesn’t call him mumma much anymore unless he’s feeling particularly vulnerable.

So flash forward to the 80s and davy is a full middle aged man. they all are. Mike is going gray in his beard (which is quite distinguished he thinks), and has finally cut off his long hair cause it’s just easier to manage with it short, and davy is in the process of growing out a mullet of all things because he thinks it’ll help the group look more “trendy” (micky laughs his ass off the first time davy comes home with the haircut and davy sulks with mike, who just chuckles and rubs his back, and Davy refuses to talk to mick for like two days. don’t worry, davy will get back at him when he has that hideous 90s ponytail)

But, yeah, davy isn’t really such a little guy anymore, but mike has softened up quite a bit and is more open with his feelings and all, he’s just softened generally (Generally meaning he’s a big softie and cries happy tears over little things and they all start giving each other platonic kisses that become commonplace in their household), and though he’s a big boy now, davy is still mikes little one because he became davy’s mumma with his heart and soul and Davy is his baby for always, and so sometimes mike just has to slip in a baby voice when he’s talking to davy and watch davy slip a bit back into their old dynamic because davy cannot resist attention and he misses his mumma too, he just wanted to grow up a bit.

Okay so that’s a mammoth of a post. I’m sorry if it’s way too much or not what you were thinking, but this kept coming to me so here it all is. I didn’t get into all the specifics about davy when he’s all baby, but he’s VERY spoiled by his mum and his big brothers. they try not to spoil him but he’s just so damn cute when he gets all pouty. He pouts A LOT, but he’s can also be very giggly and sweet. He’s very ticklish too, but DO NOT TELL MICKY !! Micky thinks davys adorable, he kind of co-parents with mike at points because once davy gets comfortable, there’s only so much toddler energy and “mumma mumma mumma mummamummamumma” mike can take.

Anyway, I guess that’s where I’ll leave it. Davybaby forever ✌️

[salientseraph]

do you have any monkees headcanons? i’d love to hear them if you do!

I actually don't really have many! I'm very new to the fandom side of the Monkees, mostly because I didn't actually know there WAS a Monkees fandom (or at least a modern day Tumblr community). I've been a HUGE fan of the music and show since I was really little, so it never occurred to me other people on the Internet may also like it (lol)

The only thing I could really think of currently is I definitely hc showverse Nesmith and Tork as autistic (bc I'm autistic and I said so) because they both for sure exhibit different traits. Two sides to the same coin, you might say.

And then showverse Micky is 100% an ADHD king and you can't convince me otherwise (again because I have adhd and I say so)

Mmmm what else. Well I guess I could talk about the modern au hcs I've been developing lightly!! I remember seeing this lovely post about how the boys would use social media in the present day (if the show was set in the present day) I can't remember who had posted it but once I do I will be sure to credit them.

Anyway, I loved the idea of Davy being a TikTok star and Micky being a science YouTuber, and of course Peter being a tumblr girlblogger, but in my heart of hearts I feel like Nez would be an avid Tumblr user too, more in the sense of having a small but loyal community. Posting about whatever he's writing or whatever crazy stuff he's had to deal with in the pad.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now, as I have only really begun my journey into the fandom, but if I have any more I will be sure to let you know!

Would any of my Monkees related followers like to be a part of a taglist for any Monkees related content I post (such as art/writing/etc)? I wanted to see if any of you would be interested in something like that, as I have seen taglists for things like that in the past.

peter gets this book read to him before bed sometimes ⬇️

usually it’s mike because he’s tired dad™️ but he thinks it’s sweet.

sometimes davy reads it cause he’s british and it’s more authentic with the accent

and Micky does silly voices when he reads it but peter’s sometimes too tired for those (sorry micky, you’ve got a lot of energy babe)

Okay now that I’ve hooked you with Davy Jones I want you to listen once again; transmasc Davy, super confident, on the arm of significantly taller not at all confident Transfem Mike.

Davy talks up his gf and himself and Mike is like “well you might be the sexiest man alive but I don’t think im even in the running for sexiest girl alive” and Davy is like “how DARE you talk about my girl like that, SHE is GORGEOUS!!” And Mike is just like 🥺👉👈 “if you say so sugar” 😳

wahhhh this is cute 🥹 t4t jonesmith it so fun Davy would do such a good job of boosting Mike's confidence and hyping her up!!! Mike would be so insecure when it comes to trying to do more feminine things (i dont really see Mike as the type to change too much of her outward appearance) but if she tried out a more traditionally feminine outfit Davy would throw so many compliments at her telling her how beautiful and breathtaking she is and hes so lucky to have such an amazing girlfriend.

normally i think about t4t jonesmith reverse with transfem davy and transmasc mike (bc he gives me insane gender envy and im projecting onto him) but now im thinking about it opposite and its cute.

Eddie's favorite songs are Holy Diver (Dio) and I'm A Believer (The Monkees). Obviously, Dio is his favorite band, and Rainbow in the Dark is an amazing song, but what shocks people is the Monkees song. It's nowhere near what his taste in music is (in all actuality, Eddie just likes music. Heavy metal is his favorite, but music as a whole is what brings him life), and so no one guesses it.

He likes I'm A Believer because Uncle Wayne plays that song when he's happy, and a happy Wayne is probably Eddie's second favorite thing (the first is a happy Steve).

Anyway! When Eddie gets upset, he listens to those two songs on repeat, so Steve learns how to play them both on Eddie's guitar: Eddie's acoustic, not his sweetheart, he doesn't want to DIE. The first time he plays them for Eddie during a bad day, Eddie cries for an hour about how Steve is an unfairly perfect angel among men, then demands Steve keep playing for him. As a result, Steve becomes a pretty decent guitarist- it's pretty easy, Steve's already an accomplished pianist (a secret he vows to take to his grave)

Have the monkeys from flower fruit mountain met the kids?

Yes, after the disappearance of the Monkey King, MK gave himself the task of watching and partially taking care of the monkeys of Flower Mountain and has maintained that custom even after having children.

So they have had the opportunity to meet them and play with them.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cool is just Davy being the baby of the group

The first thing he says is literally “please let me get a new set of maracas🥺” even though he’s paying with his own money. Like baby you don’t need permission.

Also him telling Mike about the man with the popsicle. He definitely just points out random things to Mike on their walks and Mike, with the patience of a saint, indulges him. Peter and Micky are laughing at him in that clip so they definitely make fun of him making basic observations so Mike is the one he’ll turn to.

Tv Peter headcannon

This is Tigey, Tigey is Peter’s stuffed animal and is also his favourite animal in general. Tigey was made by a toymaker and was given to him by his mum. Tigey is a comfort toy. The others know about Tigey. One time a robber stole Tigey among other things, that robber met the wrath of the monkees

MIKE HC!!

SO I'm making this cause @androcola 's work inspired me. I hc that Mike gets really REALLY heavy nose bleeds whether it was cause he was punched in the nose or he scratched a blood vessel while digging for gold. Either way gallons of blood will just, spill. It freaked out the others at first but Micky and Davy are used to it now, Peter still freaks out though.

ROLLING STONE | “75 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time” | (21/75)

The Monkees, “Daydream Believer” (1967)

"This 1967 single from the Monkees, all tinkling piano and swelling woodwinds, served as the TV-borne foursome’s final chart-topper. Written by former Kingston Trio member John Stewart and featuring orchestration by trumpeter and arranger Shorty Rogers, the Davy Jones-crooned “Believer” is one of the band’s most luscious tunes. It received a second life during the reunion of Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork in 1986, with a remix serving as the B-side to comeback single “That Was Then, This Is Now.”
