They're. just standing there.

queer people in my tv show??? real.

i think what makes the psych movies so good despite the fact that this franchise has been running for so long is that they still fundamentally understand their characters. of course shawn doesn't want to have kids. of course gus is still silly and weird. of course carlton keeps a gun in his recovery room. wait post derailed i don't remember much for juliet why did they never make her as weird as the boys and why did the fandom never give her more of a personality

She loves, she loves me not, she loves me, oops he’s dead

Just a few notes for this one.

Why did the guys have to be naked??? Does it seem like more of an abduction if they don’t have clothes??? Cause thats not what i would jump to if i woke up with no memory in a field without clothes…

Juliet ships Shassie

Shawn remembers everywhere he’s been? He narrowed a field down based on the fact that it smelled like lavender and had barbed wire, and he only drove past it twice. What is his mind like?? What does a map look like to him in his brain?? Im imagining something like this ;)

I love that Juliet makes him smile like this! Its so sweet. I always loved how Shules was handled. I’ll go into it more later, but it’s nice to see that they enjoy each others company and it isn’t just lustful attraction or even strictly romantic interest. I think it helps establish that their relationship is rooted in friendship first. I tend to be more ace-like so, for me at least, it feels like a much deeper connection.

The whole Henry thing- i think in this case it had less to do with Shawns view of masculinity and more to do with the fact that it was Henry. I mean, Shawn was about 8 when he told Gus Henry never told him he loved him because “they’re guys.” I’d be kind of pissy too if i found out my dad was fronting the whole time. But also, i wonder why Henry felt the need to project that view of masculinity on his son when he apparently was taking baths the whole time. Was this something passed down from his dad? Did he want Shawn to be a “better” man? Was he shameful of this? And if so why? Is there a certain level of homophobia happening?

Anyways, it seems like seeing Henry’s more “feminine” side gave him permission to accept his own as he’s much more at ease with himself in later seasons.

Dulé Hill as Burton Guster in PSYCH (2006—2014)

The reason Psych is the Important Show of All Time is because it said "friendship is the MOST important thing." Like, yes, the romances were good but the show spends even more time emphasizing and developing the friendships and that's why it rocks. Lassiter and Juliet love and support each other unconditionally without even the slightest whiff of romance and it is SO. REFRESHING. When Juliet almost dies, Lassie sacrifices his favorite gun to save her without any hesitation. He's the one there to hold her while she cries. She's his confidant. She leaves everything she knows behind so he can chase his dream of being chief without reprocussion. That's a deep, wholesome kind of platonic love. They also never had Shawn be jealous of how close Jules and Lassie are - instead, in the final episode, we see Shawn thanking Lassie for loving and supporting Juliet. We simply don't do that jealousy crap here. Lassie and Jules are best friends and that's an excellent thing. And then there's Shawn and Gus. Those characters are narratively and physically inseperable. The show makes it VERY clear that, without the other, neither one is complete. They balance each other and exacerbate each other's hijinks at the same time. They're closer than close and everyone around them just accepts it. It's just the way those two dumb boys are and no one is going to try to get between that. And then, of course, SO many friendships develop over the course of the show. Lassie and Shawn form a begrudging friendship eventually. Juliet and Karen end up bonding more than I think either expected. Friendship is the beating heart of this series and it's presented in a way that is unique and fun and I just don't see a lot of other shows that do it like Psych did.

Shawn and Gus happy dances

I created this and felt the need to share

my favorite moments in every psych episode 6/124

S01E06 - Weekend Warriors

the only right timeline

will never forget the psych episode where shawn & juliet are about to leave for a couples retreat and gus came to see them off (bc ofc he did) and juliet asks “are you guys going to be ok going to days without each other?”, shawn throws up the call me sign, and all by myself plays while gus stands alone in the parking lot. spoiler — they could NOT go two (2) whole days without each other
