Surely this next six minutes of hitting the snooze button on my alarm will leave me feeling well rested. Surely this time.

I find myself thinking "god, I need a cigarette" way too often for someone who doesn't actually smoke. but what can I say. I've been needing a cigarette

hate when people are like "trust your gut! listen to your intuition!" like okay well my gut is telling me every person i lay eyes on is hunting me for sport and my intuition is saying i should find a secluded cave and live there forever so what do you suggest i do with that information

Jules: I left everyone instructions for while I'm gone.

Shawn: This just says "Shawn, no"

Jules: And I want you to apply that to every situation possible

How we feelin peoples?

I love how Shawn has had so many jobs. The show doesn’t use it nearly enough. Like. Oh, you’re air conditioning is broken? Guess who worked as an A/C repairman for a week and a half. Need the best seasoning to go on your steak? Shawn worked as a cook at a barbecue joint for three weeks. Need help with your makeup for a fancy dinner date? Guess which psychic was a makeup artists for three days.

So I was thinking about the psych episode scary sherry bianca's toast, where killer was avenging her best friend's death and asks Shawn what he would have done, if it was Gus. The moment after she says this, the tone changes slightly, it's tense and everyone is looking at shawn to see what his reaction is. Shawn kinda stops and stares and there's no humour or anything on his face, but then the moment breaks he realizes he left Gus in the "haunted" asylum.

We are meant to laugh at how he forgot Gus but Shawn doesn't actually answer. Verbally. We see through his actions.

In one of the yin yang eps where Gus is about to get the lethal injection, shawn threatens to kill the guy

And sure we can see this as him trying to stop the guy but we see that once his loved ones are actually hurt, Shawn kinda goes off the rails. Like the santabarbaratown eps where his dad gets shot, Shawn is unhinged, he doesn't care about anything, he's violent, he's intensely focused on getting revenge

Now psych usually puts comedy over continuity. It's meant to be a fun show so of course, but when they get serious, they get really serious and I think through these episodes we get our answer to what shawn would do if gus was murdered. And I don't think he would get caught either

(lights a cigarette) nobody even wants to play toys anymore. (puts the cigarette out on a play-dough ashtray) because of work.

Doctor: I’m so lonely! I wish I had a companion who was immortal too, or at least couldn’t die!

Jack: Hiiiii

Doctor: Not you.

The best way you convince people you're not lying to them is to tell them you are!

i really enjoy how pathetic shawn and gus are. they take turns screaming and crying and running away. ideal men tbh

[spacey-man]

very fun canon psych concept we dont talk about enough is henry being known as the human lie detector while his son shawn is the 68 lies per second guy

[spacey-man]

my favorite things about Shawn Spencer are that he:

✅️ can take a punch

❌️ can NOT fight at all

✅️ has unbelievable aim

❌️ does not own a gun

✅️ can track down criminals

❌️ has NO stamina and cannot run

shawn spencer really said 'i'm joining the hostage situation... on the side of the hostage-taker' and i haven't stopped thinking about it since

[spacey-man]

Nobody committed to the bit harder then Shawn Spencer. The fact that he could've just come out and told them about his photographic memory and deduction skills on the second day and they probs would've still hired him and taken him much more seriously, but the dumbass bi man chose to continue to pretend to be a psychic FOR 8 WHOLE YEARS is genuinely insane behavior. And don't even get me started on Gus keeping his besties secret for that long, he a real ride or die.
