So in S5E14 'The Polarizing Express' Henry says 'I can't help but wonder what it would have been like if you hadn't come back to Santa Barbara at all 5 years ago' (not a direct quote, can't be bothered to go back to get the exact one but this is pretty close) to Shawn, which does seem to indicate he left SB for a substantial amount of time pre-cannon. Idk if he kept in touch but he was not in SB for a while.

Loooove that everyone else is Psych gets the 'normal in comparison' treatment because of Shawn.

Juliet? Goes undercover so well she wears her outfits to the precinct. Broke some girl's nose undercover. Threw a surprise party for Lassie and invited only criminals.

Lassiter? Keeps an adress book of past arrests to 'check up on them'. Massive gun nerd. Keeps a board of criminals pasted up in his house. His hobbies outside of work are guns and civil war reenactment (so basically the same stuff he does at work).

Chief Vick? Made Shawn get her a babysitter and told him he couldn't work any cases until he did. Hired a psychic to work for the police. Is that even legal? Had the most childish fight with her sister in front of her subordinates.

Gus? Never wants to let anyone use his work phone even when they are actively in mortal danger. Put Shawn on his insurance plan. Never gets over anything ever. He's a sympathetic crier. He doesn't see his friend for like almost a decade and immediately jumps into lying to the police with him.

Okay I know I just started to watch Psych but for some random reason I want to put all these characters together in the same room.

The only thing I disagree with is that he wouldn’t get caught or maybe he wouldn’t but I think he’d confess

He’d want everyone to know he did it

If somebody took Gus from him Shawn would end them & then tell the world so they know why & see how justified he was lol

I’m sad just thinking about it but if Gus was murdered I’m imagining Shawn exacting revenge & killing whoever killed Gus

Henry would have seven different plans to get Shawn to safety (because even though he loves being a cop & the law he loves Shawn more, he loved Gus as a son too) I feel like Juliet & Chief Vick would want to look the other way but Shawn would go directly to Lassiter tell him he’s not a psychic he never was as a way to give Lassie want he’s always wanted & confess to killing whoever killed Gus

Holy shit I’m making myself so sad over this

Lassiter wouldn’t want to arrest him but he would I think because he’d have the obligation

Maybe Hornstock would represent him & he’d be found innocent or justified or something

The worst part about not being psychic means that he can’t even communicate with Gus from the beyond like he pretended to for all those years

Shawn without Gus without any hope of ever having Gus again is the absolute worst outcome for Shawn I think

Losing anyone he loves would hurt but Shawn & Gus’ bond is next level something else type of special

Even ignoring my they’re the real loves of each others lives shipping thoughts when Shawn was travelling he & Gus were clearly still in touch

Shawn never let his relationship with Gus fall to the wayside because without Gus in his life or at least the possibility of Gus in his life I don’t think Shawn knows who he is anymore

& like damn the way I have fully bummed myself out over this is extraordinary lol & all self inflicted

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

Shassie shippers, what in your opinion is the most shassie coded/ shassie centric episode??

[goofalicousgooberface]

very big fan of when shows put wigs on actors and say ‘yeah. That’s him when he was younger fuck you’. No anti aging ai, no teen actor hired. Just. The same guy with a fuckass wig

[draculasfavoritewife]

(and if they were looking for a third? just saying 👀)

I have a new ship to introduce: Shawn Spencer/The guy from "Shawn and Gus in Drag (Racing)"

No because Shawn was 100% crushing on him and their chemistry???

Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)

Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!

I'm sensing... I'm sensing that you're a little bitch. The spirits recommend that you shut the fuck up.
