Another evening another collection of thoughts about agere Davy Jones that definitely aren’t just me projecting on him (they are)

Davy will spend his spare time watching Sesame Street and Mr Roger’s Neighborhood and then quote the characters in every day conversations when he wants to prove a point. Davy will put on one of his kids shows and try and convince his friends to watch it with him but he can usually only convince Peter.

Peter I feel like is probably the most willing to be convinced to do silly childish things with Davy (like build pillow forts and climb jungle gyms and stuff) cause he also finds it therapeutic in a way, letting go of inhibition and just going along with the kiddish stuff for his friends benefit. Peter probably tells Davy a lot of stories about things he did when he was a kid and Davys like “!! That’s sounds like fun!!” And Peter can tell Davy wants to try it but he’s too embarrassed so he’s like “it is, you wanna give it a try?” Like he’s probably the one helping Davy take the step to actually do the really childish thing he wants to do but is too embarrassed to try. Mike and Micky probably really appreciate Peter for being so willing to get dragged around to look at stuff and even engaging with Davy when he’s acting young and excitable. Though he’s probably not the go to when Davy’s having a breakdown.

I feel like depending on the reason Davy gets upset it’s either Mike comforting him and helping him to the root of the problem or Micky distracting him with jokes and goofy faces.

When Davy’s sleepy he acts very little too. He’ll get even smaller than he already is and curl up on whichever friend’s lap will stroke his hair gently as he falls asleep.

Speaking of falling asleep it’s beddy bye time for me I big eepy 💛 I hope you enjoyed this

Omg I can imagine him using phrases from kids shows and cartoons in all his arguments and then he gives a smug little nod of his head like ‘got him there’ 😭. Mike will be like “Davy can you do the dishes?” And Davy puts up his hand and is like “if you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” and Mike is like 🧍🏻

Peter loves hanging out with Davy when he’s small. It’s good for them both to express themselves. Peters also a little embarrassed but because Davy’s more embarrassed he’s more willing to step up. They’re helping each other overcome the hurdles <3. Peters more than happy to be dragged around and push Davy on swings or listen to him ramble about things. He loves spending time with his friends and it’s great to be able to engage in childlike things and not be alone doing so. He also feels very accomplished and responsible because hanging out with Davy is basically like babysitting but getting to have the same amount of fun as the kid.

Micky has emergency finger puppets and the second Davy’s lip wobbles he’s got them performing. Micky used to keep them in an ‘in case of emergency break glass’ box but Mike got fed up cleaning up glass every time Micky wanted the puppets. Micky convinces Mike to help him with the puppet show and its even more amusing for Davy to see Mike going from all awkward and ‘the things I do for this kid’ to actually enjoying himself and getting into the plot.

Mike is best in a real emergency though. According to Monkee Mother he has a bunch of little siblings so he always knows what needs to be done. Whether that’s giving out to someone, trying to get Davy to share, kissing a boo boo, or just holding Davy.

And yes! The second Davy gets tired he goes full baby mode. He refuses to go to bed because FOMO so he’ll always fall asleep on someone and have to be carried to bed (of course sometimes he pretends to be asleep to get carried). Though one time he fell asleep draped across all three of them and it was an awkward manoeuvre to not wake him up.
