Psych 03x04 - The Greatest Adventure In the History of Basic Cable
i emerge from the depths with doodles + terrible phone camera lighting + santa barbaras most beloved barbie, to whom the denizens of tumblr dot com dont give nearly enough love
Made an edit .3
I love them so much
This is the most accurate statement I've heard this month!!!
@ilovethistoomuch
rewatching psych and i totally forgot how much i loved juliet and her relationship with lassie.
in the beginnig he is this no nonsense, grudgy, bitter guy right in the middle of his divorce who is all work and no fun and has this barrier up against anyone. and then juliet comes in and is just so kind.
but she is not a push over either. in that scene where he says she should keep her opinions to herself and she just smiles and says: "that was a joke, right?" she gives him an out. he doesn't have to be mean, he can take that suggestuon without losing face.
it is such a good way to establish a boundary without making the other person uncomfortable. it was such a great scene and i am surprised i cannot find it here as gifs.
just to have this kind, gracious female character who gets through to this bitter, lonely colleague, being nice without being too nice/weak and showing him that things can be different.
i guess after seeing so many "tough" women in police shows it's just so nice to see her being this kind, caring person, who can make others better people just by leading as an example.
i don't know what i'm trying to say just that i am falling in love again with season 1 juliet and i think she is a great character.
I think there is something really special about Lassiter and O'haras relationship. It's so refreshing to see opposite sex characters just being friends and romance not being put into the mix. Bonus, they also have a very close relationship with each other, which is made very clear when Lassiter jumps in to save her when she was put in danger on the clocktower. Of course, he also hugs her too , comforting her when she needs it, and it is completely platonic and wholsome. They kind of give me little sister, big brother vibes, and I love that. Lassiter is the grumpy , protective big brother, while jules is the fierce but bubbly little sister.
The Song "alarm call" screams psych to me , but the really dramatic episodes like the yang episodes or shawn takes a shot in the dark and I am dying to do an aniamtic at some point lol. Probably a bit of shassie sliced in there too
FRRRR , I was thinking very similar things! I'm so glad someone else can see that now other than me, LOL. This idea has been living rent-free in my head for a while now, and I've been dying to do something or say something about it. The sorta entire vibe as well in general of the music in terms of tune as well fits really nicely. Love this song , and I love how well it can fit with psych. TYSM for ur input also abt it all :D I love reading all the lil comments and ideas Abt posts I make or psych in general <3

LOLL EVEN LASSITER KNOWS THAT'S NOT A GOOD SUBJECT TO BRING UP TOO SHAWN. The fact the man literally sinks down trying to disappear 😭😭
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%
Pretty much everything Shawn does can be pinpointed back to his childhood, and it's sad too see because most of his toxic traits could have been mended if his parents just had a bit of stability, or just where a little less controlling when he was younger.
His relationship with henry for example is one of the most obvious pointers to why Shawn is the way he is.
Shawn HATES losing, he hates not being on top and he hates not being the centre of attention. Even though some of this is ego, a lot of this is to do with self worth issues as well which is why he gets so irritable when people 'beat' him.
One time this behaviour really stuck out to me like a sore thumb was an episode or two after "from earth to starbucks". In the episode itself , shawn helps lassie with his mental health. he gets it so he feels as though he can solve cases again, and as a result of his confidence boast Lassiter really DOES start solving cases on his own much better than he was before. Evethough Shawn clearly was happy for him at first, and does care a whole lot about Lassiter than he would say out loud, a few episodes after when Lassie starts getting TOO good, Shawn starts acting pretty toxic about him and competitive. Which is a little paradoxical when originally he wanted him to be better, and do better than he was before. I'm pretty sure he does anyway cuz i remember watched a few eps after being like "why is he doing that, i thought he wanted him to do better?".
Regardless, Shawn starts getting hostile to people "better" than him because his dad basically engraved into him that if you are anything other than a winner , you are a loser and you see this all the way from episode 1. When shawn wants cake, he has to get all the hats in the room perfect otherwise he won't get anything. This same thing comes up again when he goes to his dad much older now to ask for help. he has to "win" the hat game in order to get anything out of his father. No matter if his dad had good intentions or not with it, mostly only rewarding shawn when he wins and being so intense about being 'the perfect cop' MADE shawn hate being anything other than the top of the top. the best of the best. Especially when it came to police work.
It's why he gets hostile over any form of competition, and even gets more hostile when people in his life show more interest in anyone but him. He does it with Jules, he does it with Lassiter, and i think he may even do it to gus at some stage. Jules it was her boyfriends, because he viewed himself as the 'best' to be with her. He was on top, so he should be the one to be her boyfriend right..? Then with Lassiter, there are two guys that are somewhat similar to shawn,are good at police work and Lassie clearly admires a lot which makes Shawn pretty heated and sulky that Lassie is no longer looking to him. With gus he got annoyed because Lassiter started spending time with him and 'took away' his best friend from him when be believed gus was HIS friend, not Lassies.
life doesn't work as black and white as 'winner and loser' .People don't have to be the 'best of the best 'to 'earn' love and appreciation, which seems to confuse and aggravate Shawn. It sort of makes him insecure. If people like them more, they...must be better than him because the 'best' are only deserving of appreciation. Well, in his eyes anyway. I think some part of him knows thats insanity as he only has this mentality with his own self worth, but because it was programmed into him at such a young age, it isn't something he can easily brush aside.
To him, having someone be admired more than him, to be 'better' than him for even a second basically diminished his value as a person and makes him less deserving. That and he still feels as though hes the best so people should be looking at him (bro has a HUGE ego). A lot of his anger issues have roots in insecurity , especially this one, and i think it's why for a comedy show there is something so....almost tragic about Shawn despite all the jokes and references he makes.
Aw no problemo man! 💜 that makes two or us obsessed with psych and discussing shawn spencer smh. He's just a little mentally ill guy ,and he's just so interesting to look at because he copes so differently with struggles compared to what is typical , or what you see typically in shows. Tysm for the replys too 💜 I adore interacting with people (^∇^)

I love Jules and Lassies relationship so much I'm going to implode. He's like a big brother to her , and it will never not make me happy. I like to imagine what it would be like if they became friends as kids ,and how cute a little au of that would be. Just Jules being nice to little Lassie, and Lassie just getting majorly protective when anyone spoke a bad word about her after becoming friends because he seemed like such a lonely kid won't lie (particularly bc of that one wild west kinda ep). Bonus that if anyone did to her face, even little jules would act like the queen she is and would basically not care at all or have pure sas on her. RAH. my fav, sweet , opposite sex duo probably aside from doctor whos 10 and donna
"yes my partner and best friend is accused of murder and my boss told me to stop being distracted and work with some guy, but you're really funny and i maybe have a little crush on you"
"on the one hand, my life has been in lassie's hands more times than i can count and him maybe shooting that guy makes me feel defensive and lost all at the same time, but on the other you've been hitting on me for 2 years and there was that time we almost kissed and that time you took me skating and we almost held hands so i can't help but giggle a little"

I recently started psych and It's okay but what I can't understand is how Lassiter still dislikes Shawn no offense but I think it's getting old. 🥱
Psych 4x08
I completely agree also the fascinatination with Guster's head
pysch is a cool show with comedy and mystery and whatnot but the real mystery/plot/point of interest is the pineapples. I’m just here for the pineapples really.
(Respectfully) move over Burton Guster with your lunatic sidekick Spencer Shawn or something I just wanna see the pineapples
