#tbh imo it's a bit placebo

the intervention

SHAWN: Yo! Dad? (closes the door and crosses the room) I've brought the keys back. Hello!

INT. HENRY’S HOUSE, KITCHEN, DAY

SHAWN walks into the kitchen to see HENRY and GUS. GUS is sitting at the table eating a cupcake.

SHAWN: Okay, this is creepy. Why is Gus here?

HENRY: Why do you think, Shawn?

SHAWN: He's a hostage.

A MAN in a suit walks over from the sink area.

MAN: Perhaps I can shed some light on that.

SHAWN: Two hostages.

HENRY: Doug Devette is an old colleague of mine from the force. The Chief asked me to have him drop by.

SHAWN: (tosses the keys on the table) Why?

HENRY: Doug is the department psychologist, Shawn.

SHAWN: What is this, some sort of intervention?

HENRY: Yeah, sort of.

DOUG: We don't like to use the term "intervention," Shawn.

SHAWN: (looks at GUS) Gus?

GUS: Don't look at me. I'm here for the cupcakes.

SHAWN: Dad, I am not on drugs.

DOUG: Oh, nobody thinks that, Shawn.

HENRY: Well, I'm not completely sure about that, Doug.

DOUG: We're all just a little concerned that you might be stretching yourself a bit too thin.

HENRY: It wasn't my idea, but he's right, Shawn. You're acting like a nut job.

SHAWN: Just because I take Gus' giant dinosaur head down to a dead body does not make me a nut job.

GUS: What? (gets up and looks out the window to see the head in the back of HENRY’S truck) You took my T-Rex? My mom gave it to you?

SHAWN: Gladly. She also gave me some pictures you can pay me to not show your next girlfriend.

GUS: What pictures?

SHAWN: The ones that document your Terence Trent D'Arby phase.

GUS: Whatever, Shawn. You took Danny Dino to the police station?

SHAWN: No. Gus, give me some credit. I took him to the morgue. Good news. Your specifications were spot on.

GUS glares at SHAWN before sitting back at the table to finish his cupcake.

DOUG: Your father tells me you have delusions of magical powers.

SHAWN: Delusions? Really? Doug, I'm employed as a psychic. I've solved 18 cases this year. I have business cards and a personalized coffee mug that backs up the whole thing. I feel things about people. (sees DOUG is wearing different colored socks) You, for instance, are color blind. That's nothing to be ashamed off. (sees bitten fingernails) You're also really stressed about something. (sees university pamphlets) College. It can be very expensive, Doug.

DOUG: (turns to HENRY) Oh, that was good, Henry.

HENRY: Doug, do not be a stooge.

DOUG: Not a stooge, but in this one case, he was right.

SHAWN sees a shadow at the window of the kitchen door and puts a hand to his head.

SHAWN: Knock at door.

There is a knock on the door and VICK and LASSITER let themselves in.

HENRY: (walks over) Karen, do you mind? We're in the middle of an intervention here.

VICK: We don't have time for that.

HENRY: But you're the one who asked for this!

VICK: And I thank you, Henry, but I'm afraid that this can't wait. We just got a break in the case. (turns to SHAWN) We just found out the name of the dead man. You want to tell him who he is, Detective?

LASSITER: No.

VICK: His name was Christopher Franzen. He is a paleontologist.

They look to SHAWN and he turns to GUS and then everyone turns to GUS.

GUS: A dinosaur hunter.

SHAWN: (looks at VICK) As expected. Doug, pleasure was all mine. (shakes DOUG’S hand)

DOUG: Oh, no, Shawn, mine.

SHAWN: We should get together.

like why does henry actually think shawn has legit delusions? how do u know he is not faking it & KNOWS he's faking it? But tbh imo shawn is legit psychic. It's like gravity, airplanes, drugs, & placebos. Sure u can explain how they work to me but I don't care. To me they are magic. Just because there is a scientific explanation doesn't make it any less magical. Oh & also henry thinks shawn might be on drugs!?? I mean yeah that boy probably smokes weed. Maybe magic mushrooms Possibly other stuff but I doubt it, even speed. I think he has adhd so the whiz would be prescribed but idk if pineapple has interactions with that. I'm getting off topic

listen... i consider myself a pretty rational individual but... wembley is #cursed confirmed

[clickbeetle]

“this crystal heals you because of its metaphysical properties” ACTUALLY this crystal heals me because it’s pretty and holding it makes me happy :)

i have SO MANY crystals. why am i still mentally ill?

IT'S SO CUTE but then again, everything you create is LITERALLY AMAZING 😭❤️‍🔥 like i'm still so mesmerised by your creations 😍 you're so talented !! ❤️‍🔥

they do say green tea has a lot of benefits !! 🌿 it's supposedly really, really good for you <3 my gran drinks a lot of it, and she says it always makes her feel refreshed 💞 oh it's so delicious !! tea can be pretty cheap here so when i was trying to figure out what teas i would like, i was just buying boxes of different teas. i really like herbal teas <3

it was !! it helped an awful lot, i came out of it a better person. someone more confident. and while i still get my bad days, i'm happier and in a better place mental health wise because of therapy. i've had anxiety attacks since therapy but they're less frequent :) i agree and i wish it was less expensive. one of my close friends who lives in america can't get therapy because it's too expensive for her :(

yeah that's not worth the stress <//3 i'm really worried about going back into education when i figure out what i wanna do with my life bc i don't cope well with stress. stress makes me cry, and it makes me not eat :(

honestly I AM SO EXCITED !! i am praying for nice weather :( our weather this month has been storms, snow, rain, coldness and ice :((( i used to be really active but when lockdown hit for us, it put me back inside and i became comfortable with that <//3

yeah they're really focused on making sure everyone feels comfortable and not ignored 🏳️‍🌈 you can order name tags that have your pronouns on them, they'll design them for you and send them out to you <3 i totally respect that for you 💙 and that's okay 💞💚💙💜

i used to work Sundays in my old job and honestly? kinda liked them. it was always dead so there was more chat, people ordered pizza and we'd be lucky if we had two calls. it was bliss <3 my current job aren't open on Sundays. just Monday to Saturday. but we're on a 5 week rotation so i only work one saturday every 5 weeks so it's not bad !! 🌿 aw that's amazing !! i hope that continues for you 💞 i'm off today because this week is my saturday shift so i'm just chilling today ❤️‍🔥

(lengthy response!)

firstly NEW MOBILE THEME YAYAYAYAY PU8RPLES SOOO TRUE <3 i feel like everyone around me lately has been loving the colour purple and i think that is so adorable... 

ty my love for the compliments hehe i also updated my icon a while back too so it’s not as low quality anymore and i’m so happy (”: thank god my friend found a higher quality photo of the earring yj wore on lsd’s instagram... actually mind blown imo

speaking of caffeine, i had a french vanilla drink today (and ofc i got the smallest size) because i was so utterly sleepy during my first two periods at school and guess what it did to me (”: i ended up taking like 5 naps throughout the day because i felt so exhausted... thankfully my anxiety didn’t go up the roof but i think that’s purely because i just slept through whatever emotions i had LMFAO i thought it would keep me up and it would fix my need to take a nap in the middle of the day but unfortunately, it only messed it up more ;; hopefully i’ll be able to recover (planning to sleep early tonight to see how that goes) 

a bit of a tangent off that top but i used to obsessively drink hot chocolate as though it would keep me up... (<- still does that tbh) PAHHAH hot chocolate is super sweet so it’s not like it actually does anything but i think i convinced myself it does so therefore, i end up do staying up whenever i drink it (placebo effect at its finest) 

ahh.. i think the way that therapy works in any north american system sucks ass LOL (pardon my language) i’m thankful for those who acc are helpful and are beneficial to people’s lives but i truly think people preaching that ‘mental health support is accessible to anyone’ are slightly overreaching (not to be pessimistic) but i won’t go too much into that and rant about my personal experience (”: once again, i’m glad you were able to get the help you needed and come out of it as a better person <3 

i’m really glad i did end up dropping the course ! i have more free time to work on other things and actually begin investing time into healthier work habits/schedule (<- is dying as we speak) but i’m grateful nonetheless for the window of opportunity to finally be able to make a noticeable change in my bad habits.... oh no ): please take it easy... if things ever get too hard, please remember to take a step back and take care of yourself. obviously that’s easier said than done but still important nonetheless. 

today had actually nice weather (”: it was sunny outside and it motivated me to go to school/come home and be productive for the first few hours... (until my caffeine crash kicked in <3) just a good reminder that spring is around the corner and i am very excited to leave this winter depression hehe

i don’t have much to further comment on in terms of the name tags other than how that is so lovely ): i’ve already said this x50 times but i’m glad you’re in a community like that (”: 

i really like the place i work at (: to be clear as well, i have an internship that i work on weekdays, and then on the weekends i work in a retail store (that’s usually what i’m referring to when i say ‘work’). it’s a very nice community and i’ve been there for several months now so it’s nice being in the swing of things / having that trust with your coworkers already built (”: that sounds lovely omg... to order pizza at work... it’s happened a few times at our store where a coworker will order pizza for the rest of us and truthfully, those days are amazing hehe i rmbr once we didn’t finish a pizza and i got to take the enitre thing home <3 i hope ur day went well my love and that u rested well <3
