Did Anyone Else Notice The Parallels Of Marlowe Speaking To Lassie And Shawn Speaking To Lassie, Bc I

Did anyone else notice the parallels of Marlowe speaking to lassie and shawn speaking to lassie, bc I did.

Lassiter: "shut up"

Shawn: " I didn't say anything"

Lassiter: "don't care. Shut up"

I think it's so interesting that Shawn isn't just a silly stupid character all the time and most certainly has an almost dark undertone to his character sometimes. I can't explain it but under all the smiles, the jokes, the teasing he seems to have a far more bitter and irritable personality. You can see it a lot i think if you rewatch the first episode compared to where i am rn for example in season 3/4 even.

Frr! Ur so right, man. Shawn struggles a lot more socially than he lets on and I didn't really think as deeply about the fact he literally doesn't ever have any other close childhood friends other than gus, but ur so right. I think as a kind of social introvert myself, I can see a lot of my own behaviours in him that I can't quite describe, but they indicate that he isn't as extroverted as he let's on. I don't think he's completely an introvert , but he's deffo more so than he would admit. Its kind of sad because he only ever has close friends from them basically being fourced into knowing him. Gus and him have known each other since they were babies, so we can assume maybe their parents knew each other really well to make it so the two interacted more, maybe ? I remember gus saying that they knew each other when they were 3. Then obviously, juliet , lassie , vick and everyone else was sort of fourced to talk to him. He is sort of capable of making friends, but something about him stops that from happening a lot, and I don't think its just him being loud.

Also tyy again for ur lil post and I'm glad I helped to put into words what u mean :D

Okay, so, I have thoughts. Shawn is actually, very (and I’m not sure if this is the right word, but I don’t have anything else), anti-social. Like, for his entire life basically, his only real friend and connection was Gus. Besides that, we’ve never seen or heard of any other friends— and it’s not even because it’s a T.V show either, because we’ve seen Gus’s old college friends, his friend from his childhood summer camp, as well as his ex wife. Even Lassiter and Juliet got time with other people, Like Lassiter had his old police academy rivalry, (I’m not even going to get into his ex-wife) and And Juliet got an episode where she reunited with an old boyfriend. Even Henry got to reunite with his old cop buddies (okay, sure they were corrupt, but the point still stands). And there’s probably more that I’m forgetting, but that’s all I can remember from the top of my head. And Shawn’s literally the main character!! And he got nothing!! And, like, yes, Lassiter and Juliet are his friends, and I know that it’s just a TV show and I’m thinking wayy too much into it and projecting (I am) but they literally spend like, zero time together outside of work/cases (not counting Juliet and Shawn becoming a couple). And even then that took them like, almost a decade lmao. I think that he gets it from his mom, and I know that we know literally next to nothing about her, but from what we do know, she’s a lot like Shawn in the way that they both just.. Left. Parallels idk.

Anyways, this post was sort of based off of @grapebritain ‘s post about Shawn, because their post allowed me to take some thoughts that I already had and put them into ~words~ so, yeah! Go check that out too. 100%

Lassiter as a kid definitely would get unhealthy excited over ponies/horses compared to almost anything else. I can imagine him out with his dad at some stage before he passed away, and just shouting to his dad as if he got hurt or something, and his dad comes over all concerned thinking his son is hurt. Then he just finds Lassie literally just pointing and jumping up and down excitedly, then going over to a horse behind a fence trying to pet it. He's probably try and be fairly gentle. If its a big horse, or just, a horse and not a pony, he'd probably ask his dad to pick him up to pet it. There is even the chance bb lassie would shake his hands excitedly. From the clips i've seen of smaller Lassiter in the films ( i haven't watched them yet so this could be entirely inaccurate) , he hasn't got his cold, closed off exterior yet. Plus i mean, he's a kid also. Idk i think that would gen just be so so cute.
