if anyone hasn’t read Davy’s book he talks about Micky here I’m assuming this was in the 80s cause it would make sense at that point that they had been distant in life due to their falling out idk how many years prior im pretty sure by the 90s/00s they were close again but I could be wrong
where big time rush goes wrong is that they focus too much on the music. where the monkees went right is that you could turn on the television and see four guys in a band never play music but somehow take down an entire foreign spy operation. that’s what it’s really about
Anyway I've had so much fun drawing the boys. Peter was fucking DIFFICULT though. I think it's because in my brain he's this soft squishy little jello but irl he's actually got sharp features, lol. BUT ANYWAYYYY Nez was easily the most relaxing to draw. Something about those eyes. Mm.
This clip from The Monkees will always fucking kill me
There's just... so much going on
• Mike's undies saying hello as he starts off the struggle cycle by getting his leg caught and then trying to transform into a bat until Davy helps him stand up properly (and for a brief second he's rocking a crop top)
• Peter just giving up halfway and letting gravity take over (also rocking a crop top) before he grabs the ladder again and does a split in the air before getting down
• Micky going down the ladder like it's a fireman's pole and landing on top of Peter while he's still struggling to get his head out of the ladder
• Davy carrying Micky bridal style to help him down while Peter still fumbles with his shirt
