#psych Gus

[jooniely]

Doing a rewatch of the entire series and i found 1 more instance of shawn losing his mind over gus.

In the episode "there's something about mira" Shawn is freaking out cuz gus is alone with a murderer at the vineyard. He's freaking out and HE ASKS FOR A GUN. TWICE. now I'm still doing my entire series rewatch so someone can correct me if I'm wrong but has shawn ever asked for a gun? This man always walks into dangerous situations unarmed. But the second gus is in danger and he's too far away he YELLS at juliet and lassie to give him a gun or drive faster.

Again, it's not hard to imagine what would happen if something bad had happened to gus.

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

Shawn is flirting with the drive thru worker and I truly do believe that

Another from the list of polls I've been wanting to start, this time about your favorite "Watson" or sidekick character in a detective or mystery related piece of media! They can be an adaptation of John Watson or an entirely different character who fills that role, so long as they have a Sherlock-type partner they work with to complete that dynamic.

I can't possibly cover every Watson type character, especially since Tumblr polls only give me 12 options, so I've filled out some on the top of my mind or ones that are more famous, and then there's the "Other" option to support any favorites not on the list.

There's several John Watson adaptations where he's pretty close to the book canon, so I haven't listed all separately here, mostly just ones where there's a more distinct change (modernization, etc.) or he has more focus.

So without further ado:

Please reblog for a larger sample size :)

This looks like something Shawn would buy for him and Gus.

[fleur-alise]

possibly my favorite thing about Gus and Shawn's dynamic is at first you kind of feel bad for Gus, like wow this normal and mature adult is still saddled with his disaster, immature, maybe a little selfish best friend. but then you realize. wait a minute. Gus is just as much of a dumbass as Shawn. more often than not, he rolls with the alias nicknames without hesitation, sometimes better than Shawn, bullshits just as hard as Shawn, and has his fair share of wildly stupid moments

case in point:

These 2 are the type of people to still threaten each other with birthday invitations to get what they want

Okay yall- idea

DPD x Psych crossover??? Lmk what yall think because I've been binging that show while making some art

Psych is a TV show where Shawn (The main charecter) pretends to be a psychic to solve crime :)) you can watch it on prime video,

I also might make some art later??? We will see what the future holds for me
