#and also breaks out

[lensinski]

i'm only on season 2 of psych and i know they won't go with it, but i would have LOVED it if shawn's backstory was just that he was a criminal.  

his dad busted him as a teen, sure. but he ran away from home after that and all the jobs he claimed to have had were either part of a con he was pulling or invented to cover up the fact that the spent time in jail ("i spent a season with a dance group in buffalo" > "i spent half a year in jail in buffalo but my cellmate was good at doing the moonwalk"). that's the reason his dad doesn't talk to him anymore. he also blames himself for training shawn for being good at running from cops. 

we can see all the making in shawn's flashbacks - he could have easily gone down that road! he could have counted cards at poker and pull casino cons or use his perception to run from police and con people into trusting him. not to speak of gus' parents thinking he's a bad influence. he's way too good at blending in at any job spontaneously, almost as if he has experience doing that. also he has no qualms or guilt about it. he walks around breaking into houses and messing with the police because he's not scared of ending up in jail, he's been there a lot, he's very good at getting by and at this point he's simply used to it.  

his only downfall was his financial mismanagement and lack of organization. he was good at executing plans and impulsive ideas, but not good at planning or accounting for all the fallout. which means he fell out with partners a lot and had to skip town often when he got into trouble again. (spending all his money, messing with bosses, being disrespectful... basically being shawn) 

shawn comes back in town after freshly getting out of jail, done with always being on the run. when the police check his file in the pilot, they realize he's a serial con man with A LONG criminal record, so of course they are suspicious (in this version it was lassiter's partner working the case so that he doesn't immediately know about shawn's past. only the chief does, who keeps shawn's record buried from them so that he keeps working for the police without their suspicions).  

shawn realizes he can finally settle down and have a job that still satisfies his need for play and action while helping people and using his skills. his dad needs time to start trusting him again. he's so loose and fearless around cops and breaking their rules because as much as he loves this pi thing, he thinks he's still on buried time before he needs to go on the run again one way or another. so his development is starting actually settle down and let people back into his life. the secret he's hiding is not only that he's not psychic, but more importantly that he's a former criminal. and he knows if o'hara or lassiter knew it, they would never trust him again.

The most beautiful thing about Drawtectives is that you can choose any combination and you will be right. But no way I'm ignoring a beautiful garb next to York.

there's something so poetic about coyote vs acme being the thing that causes wb's 'the producers' ass scheme of shitcanning movies for tax breaks to blow up in their face and cause them to turn to the camera, blink twice, and dissolve into a little pile of ash that their eyes fall down into with a little bounce

Goodfellow is a warforged barbarian dnd character I want to use if I ever get to play someday. Figured I'd draw his backstory even if I never do 😊

Oh, Aang, you're really in it now...

This is Zu—I mean, Jian Li and Katara's second meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU. The first proper one, anyway.

Once they get through a minor difference of opinion or two (“I can carry my own basket!” “Never said you—” “I'm not weak!” “I didn't—” “Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean—” “Would you listen for once, woman?!” ) they'll become nearly inseparable.

For now Jian Li will carry Katara's basket all the way to the Kyoshi Warriors' dojo and, once there, they'll mercilessly tease Sokka when they see him in uniform.
