howdy

welcome to my monkees sideblog keep scrolling if you dare

before i begin… my proudest works are below

-> torksmith bible

-> torksmith silver springs edit

-> monkees as vines

-> head x little dark age

self promo central over here but i also edit on tiktok and instagram and youtube

& this post explains how i make my edits

I'm taking scene requests!!!! need any particular monkee related scenes in 4k im ur man. drop me an ask or a message, idm! :)

hello my name is Maz (or Maisie, i don’t mind) (i also use she/they)

i’m 21, from england and currently in 3rd year of uni studying archaeology.

my dad introduced me to the monkees when i was 10, he showed me a few songs (my fave was sweet young thing) and then found Monkees on the Line on youtube.

and chat, that was it for me.

i watched that episode over and over and over again. to the point where now it doesn’t even feel real. i can probably recite the entire script.

i could only ever watch the episodes on youtube, which were like 240p and about 15 out of the 58.

i kinda lost touch with them during my teen years (dark, dark times). i remember seeing on the news when peter passed and it hit me like a brick. same with mike. and then in 2023 they had a mild resurgence in my music listening habits.

anyway i’m trying to expand my record collection so for xmas last year i asked for a monkees one just for old times sake. and chat,

mary, mary started playing and suddenly i felt alive. i was like, i seriously need to start getting back into these guys. so i checked to see how much of an online presence there was and omg.

then i found the google link the show so i could finally after 10 years watch all the episodes.

suffice it to say they have taken over my life now.

peter was always my favourite i fully just latched onto him when i was a kid and i feel like that makes sense looking at me now.

if you have gotten to the end of this post, then wow. if u wanna follow my personal instagram it’s @maisienicoll (i would love it if u did i love having new friends)

peace out

attached below is a drawing i did circa july 2015 when i was 10, what can i say.

happy pride month to peter halsten thorkelson!

[torksmithtruther]

pride month has come back around and so has this edit but i also want to lore dump on everyone about the actual impact this edit has had on me STAY WITH ME HERE

so, around april last year, i noticed someone’s comment under my edit on instagram and i stalked their account for a while and then moved on (i do this with everyone) but this person did linger in my mind…

anyway fast forward to early june last year, i yearn to make a peter pride edit but cannot think of a song to use, so i put a question box on my story and this same person responded (didnt use your rec soz babe) and i was like ok don’t pussy out just message her. so i diiiiiid.

anyway this person is @nezluvr and we have been speaking practically everyday since and met up irl in march this year (again in july!). she quite literally means the world to me and i couldn’t imagine life without her.

so BASICALLY… happy pride month and thankyou peter for being so bisexual or my life may have not turned out this way.
