At the beginning when the guys are just getting to know each other, Mike and Davy get into a fight (something silly and easily avoidable, but they don’t really know each other yet and they’re suddenly living in very close quarters, tensions are high). Mike loses his temper and starts yelling (he hasn’t learned to regulate his emotions yet and is used to yell or be yelled at). Davy (who’s the newest to the group and not used to being surrounded by this much testosterone (see: 3 sisters)) gets lowkey terrified since Mike is a lot bigger than him and is extremely scary when mad. Davy’s eyes start to water and he’s kinda frozen in fear and doesn’t know what to do (the others don’t step in because they’re also unsure and its the first big fight in the Pad) and begins to (unwantedly) regress. Mike notices this and is kinda like ‘oh shit’ and immediately calms down and is trying to apologise but it’s too late and Davy’s in tears. Mike has to comfort him and soothe him and from then on the rest is history.

AAAAH OH MY GOODNESS!!

#asks #the monkees #mike and davy gain so much trust and honestly they all do. they all learn.#i’m a big believer in the monkees strongly believing in consent. I cite this to the 90s special where micky says “’no thanks’ when he thinks #davy asks him for a kiss (i still think it’s crazy this was written by mike nesmith) but like micky can just say no thanks! and it’s all #cool and chill and groovy!#just from living with each other and learning from each other the boys learn how to navigate all of their individual limits #it’s a learning process that never stops but they all love each other so much and try so hard for a healthy relationship between the four #of them (be that relationship platonic familial or strictly professional music buddies take your pick but in all of those aspects they make #it work)#i love the monkees so much 😭 😭 😭#sweet davy poor thing #as mike gets older he learns more and more and gets so gentle and mellow #he’s the best to take a nap on top of on the couch #all three other monkees agree on this
