Psych is the perfect example of how the Homestuck relationship quadrants play out irl
Shawn and Gus are moirails. Like, perfect definition.
Shawn and Jules are matesprits. (Duh)
Shawn and Lassie are kismessitudes. With Gus, Jules, and even arguably Chief Vick stepping in as auspistices as needed.
I could write an essay on this, as both a Homestuck and Psych autistic. Argue with the wall, you know I’m right and y’all have just been too afraid to say it
OMG. This is incredible!!! I think you may have read my mind.
quick little drabble based on @famkoe's prompt: the chief has reluctantly approved an undercover mission starring lassiter. Lassiter is determend to show how great he is at this. Shawn is Just confused about why lassie Just walked into his favourite gay bar.(shassie)
Sean was two drinks in on the dance floor. His shirt had mysteriously unbuttoned itself and the DJ was halfway through [music]. And the edges of his world were starting to get fuzzy just the way he likes them.
gus had refused to come tonight on account of "there are never any girls at that place"to which Sean pointed out
"Gus, don't be a limp piece of confetti in the morning after a birthday party. that's the point buddy. no girls just men. And some boys. A fair few lads as well. Come on. We see girls all the time. "
unfortunately, Sean had lost that argument, and so it was forced to face the gay club alone. :(. he was working to rectify that situation, settling up to a taller man With an umbrella in his cup, when something caught Sean's eye.
He tilted his head and squinted – inwardly smiling at what Gus's reaction would've been – and focused on the shoes he could just make out from behind a throng of people across the bar.
he recognized those dark brown men's casual loafers from somewhere. Flipping for his memory, he realized they were the same shoes Lassie have been wearing that day at the police station.
Sean abruptly left the conversation he had been half paying attention to holding up a finger in the direction of tight pants. he hurried over to the crowd of people and yes. It was detective Carlton Lassiter.
well, Carlton Lassiter yes. Detective? Sean had never seen a detective wearing nothing but a tight green mesh top and Jean shorts with a bandanna in both back pockets. Lassie's back was pressed up against a bar, overwhelmed by the five men all crowding around him, trying to buy him drinks. Sean grabbed his elbow and said loudly "come on Ted. Let's get you home. " And turn it to the nearest bathroom.
when they reached the men's room shawn pulled carlton through the door as 2 other men stumbled out, far more inebriated that shawn was.
"spencer what the hell are you doing here? i won't have you blowing my cover just because the chief wouldn't put you on the bone street case." lassie hissed at him while checking under the stall doors for eves-droppers
"bone street? blow your cover? lassie i was just dancing when i saw those horrible shoes, i mean, seriously man, who wears boat shoes to a night out? don't answer that i have a better question, how did it work?? those twinks were crawling all over you maybe i should dress like it's my uncle's wedding next time"
"they're not boat shoes spencer they're men's casual shoes. they go with any outfit even..." lassiter looked down and looped a finger around a black and gold string of his shirt "this thing" he finished
shawn looked down at the taller man's shirt, unable to stop staring at the waves of salt and pepper hair tangled in the tight garment
"shawn!" he yelled. shawn looked up, getting the feeling his name had been said several times.
just then a knock came at the door and the two made eye contact, lassiter determined and shawn mischievous.
before the detective could say anything shawn said
"lassie do you trust me?"
"no."
"well, you can't be hiding a gun in those shorts and we're on my turf so just follow my lead" he said quickly as the door handle turned
"i- what? sha-" lassiter spluttered as shawn stood on his tiptoes to meet his lips
as their mouths touched shawn pushed him to the wall, one hand up by his face, pinning him in and the other slipped underneath the waistband of the jean shorts by carlton's hip.
shawn broke the kiss for a split second as the door was opening to hiss "hands on my ass big boy"
carlton complied, not entirely sure if he liked being called a big boy but the zing that went through his body as he awkwardly grabbed shawn's but was undeniable.
through the rushing in his ears lassiter could hear a quiet chuckle from the door way and a man say "i'll just use the ladies' then" before the door closed
expecting shawn to stop he put his hands down, but instead shawn's teeth moved lower to meet his ear. in a moment he would deny later, carlton closed his eyes, waiting for shawn to kiss his neck, but instead shawn whispered in a jovial and seductive tone "by the way, ted, the guy in the with the orange shirt who was trying to buy you a whiskey killed that girl two weeks ago. you might want to bring him in for questioning" before walking out the door and back onto the dance floor, leaving carlton reeling
Having gay sex would have solved half their issues i think
If I had to describe psych to someone, I'd tell them that it's a show about a dude, who's just a guy, that happens to be scamming his local police department, meanwhile having sexual tension with everyone around him; namely, one Carlton Lassiter
So real.
I love you.
hi unpopular opinion, feel free to roast me, but i hate juliet x gus so much actually. i either love or am indifferent to like every other ship in this show (((and im only 6 seasons in so maybe something happens later on that'll change my mind))) but it just feels like theres nothing there and it's just like "oh who's left over after shassie"
plus bonus shassie bc I love them (image from this post):
carlton lassiter definitely has a sign at his house that says “trespassers will be shot. survivors will be shot again.”
it is also specifically addressed to a certain psychic detective who keeps showing up uninvited, bearing gifts of pineapples, despite the increasingly growing number of signs which don’t seem to do anything.
So adorable 🥰
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?! OMGGG T_T
I love this. Made my shitty day much less shitty <3 My lovely boys. Forehead kiss is pure love. And James’s adorable smile at the end. And that hand on his chest. Gods.
God I love shassie
Shassie kitchen cuddle outtake.
I have not much new to liveblog (tho i did make a psych side blog, @lassiesloveoflarping ) but I gotta know: is the fact that the episode titles are Like That because Shawn names them canon/word of god, or do we simply know because of how cool and sexy we all are?
We as Psych fans (Psychos) know how cool and sexy we all are. The Psych fandom is so fucking hilarious and wholesome all at once. I remember when I first watched Psych and thought “Omg, I’m like Shawn & Lassie as one entity” because I’m chaotic like Shawn, I say movie & TV show references on the daily, make dumb ass jokes at times where everyone is probably like “really?..” and I’m just like “but the joke was pretty funny, right?” Then I’m like Lassie in the sense of being totally over it, having a resting bitch face, sticking to facts alone, being emotionally constipated, but also pathetic in a sexy & endearing way. Lmaoo. I love the Psych fandom so much that it’s insane.
When Shawn started rambling off Lassie & his ship names I started laughing so hard when I first saw it because he literally has no shame. Lassie being in pure horror and dread just made it even funnier. Shawn flirting with Lassie & basically any person who walks this planet is just a mood and I love it. Lol.
Lassie secretly does love Shawn though. Like, all of the characters who are so over Shawn’s BS all secretly love him and his chaotic nature. It’s honestly very sweet. The creators of the show did such an amazing job giving them such an amazing dynamic.
Like in the episode where Shawn was shot (Season 4 Episode 9: Shawn Takes A Shot In The Dark) and Lassie, the one who is known to dislike Shawn and just looking at him makes Lassie wanna lay in the street, mainly referred to Shawn by his first name, genuinely wanted to find him, was very persistent on finding him firsthand, even though he didn’t want Henry involved, still allowed Henry to join him because he understood that that was Shawn’s dad & was indeed a good cop in his day, called Shawn “Detective” as a way of complimenting his bravery, survival skills, deductive skills, and firearm aim, etc.
Then we have Shawn, who we know makes fun of Lassiter and mocks him at any given time to annoy him, immediately tried phoning him after he couldn’t get through to Gus when this were getting serious, when he was being choked by the kidnappers while Lassie & Henry were outside, he tried saying Lassie’s actual first name “Carlton” but it was blocked because of him getting choked, trusted that he would be found by Lassiter, his dad, and the rest of his friends, etc. It showed that even though Shawn gives Lassie shit, he genuinely trusts Lassie, knows he good at his job, knew that if something was wrong and if Gus didn’t pick up, to get ahold of Lassiter.
They both give each other so much shit but they both do genuinely care for each other. It’s very much seen as the show continues. It’s also very much shown in the second Psych movie “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home” when Shawn holds Lassie’s hand as he was sleeping. The actor (James Roday Rodriguez) did that for a different reason as well because Timothy Omundson (Lassie) had just recovered from a major stroke that could’ve ended his life. So, it was a welcome back sort of thing and a way of comforting him. I literally adore basically every single character & episode within the Psych series and I adore the cast even more. They’re all so sweet. I know they all want to make more Psych movies together buttttt they’re all busy people.
This kinda turned into a whole different rant but oh well- Lmaoo. 💛🍍💛
Another Cowboy Psych mini comic! I love drawing these three so much. I may draw a fantasy AU. I’m in a burnout phase of my art so it may take me a bit to draw some stuff.
Anyways, enjoy the comic!! 💛💛
Here’s the dialogue in case people cannot read my shit print (I’m used to writing in cursive, sorry- Lol.)
Lassie: What are you doing, Spencer?.. *he is looking down from his horse.*
Shawn: *laying on ground on a flat rock. Basking in the sun* Soakin’ up some rays, Lassie. You should try it. All the koalas do it and look at the coats on those little guys.
Gus: *also on his horse* that’s amphibians and reptiles, Shawn.. and you’re not a lizard.
Shawn: I’ve heard it both ways.
Gus: No, no you haven’t.
Shawn: Gus, don’t be the sand in shorts on a hot summer day. It’s not sexy.
Gus: *huffs & sighs* You’re lying on sand right now, Shawn…
Shawn: There’s no need for technicalities, Gus, but if we must do them, I’m technically on a rock, not sand. So, better luck next time, buddy.
Gus: *scoffs* Yeah, a rock made of SANDstone and we are in a desert, Shawn, so-
Lassie: *rolls his eyes* If you two are done, some of us have actual police work to do..
Shawn: is that what that is? I thought this was you taking on an opportunity to show off that sweet & sexy, salt & pepper bush.
Lassie: *scoffs and looks away flustered*
Gus: Gross, Shawn..
I hope everyone liked this. I don’t really draw horses or stuff like that so I’m sorry to all of the horse riders out there. Have mercy on me. 😭😭
Again, I was thinking of making a fantasy Psych AU, maybe even some more House MD/Ethical Omens MD art? I’ll have to seen. My burnout phase sucks rn. I’m very exhausted. TvT
(My image quality is trash btw. Tumblr never lets me put the full quality images on here. 😭)
Again, I hope you lot enjoy the comic!!! 💛💛💛
Cowboy Psych is my beloved. Happy Pride!! ⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
(OMG I FORGOT LASSIE’S GLOVES AND STRAP BELT IN ONE OF THE PANELS, AAAAA. Curse sleepy me for doing art at 4AM. Shhhhh, he just took them off because it got hot- ignore that- you saw nothing. 😭😭😭)
Okay so thanks to you I started watching Psych and at first I didn't like Lassie and I also thought that the reason people shipped Shawn with Lassie rather than Gus was gonna be the typical one, but then Shawn started flirting with Lassie and fucking sat on his lap while Lassie made That Face? This reeks of slutty bisexual seducing most repressed man in the universe and that's right up my alley (and not just because it's a power fantasy for me, a slutty bisexual who is really bad at seduction xD) and also I just finished the larp episode and I like Lassie now, actually. He's so weird and pathetic <3
Lassiter does start off as horse’s ass but I really love his character. I adore when characters start off with this distastefulness about them and then go on an arc of learning and understanding from the people around them.
Right?! I thought the same thing at first too. I was like “Okay.. what’s the hype here?” I thought the reason people didn’t want to ship Shawn & Gus was for the same reason too.
Then when I saw those scenes I was like “OH-“
Literally the tension is so bad- Lmaoo.
Lassie is so weird and pathetic in the best ways possible. His little obsessions with random shit. The way he secretly has movie references just like the rest of them.
Like when actually becomes friends with all of them, his demeanour is so adorable. Like he’s still the grouch (who also kinda looks like Sam The Eagle from The Muppets) and his still our Lassie but he also has this new found softness and understanding of others. Plus, his arc when it came to his two mum’s was so sweet. I loved that.
Also ngl, he seems neurodivergent as hell.
I could rant about Lassiter’s character arc/development for literally hours- Lol.
Also I will be uploading some more Cowboy shassie (and some Gus) fanart. I may even do a fantasy arc too of them. I’m trying to think of AU ideas to draw them in.
Shawn's drawing was rushed. So, it's not as put together as Lassie's. It's felt very stressed lately so I'm sorry his is so rushed. But enjoy some more Shassie art!! 💛💛💛
lassie is still my beloved.
(Totally am not working on more Cowboy shassie (maybe even Gus) to draw rn as we speak. Definitely not. I will also be sketching more House MD/Ethical Omens MD art. I’ve been all over the place. Lol.)
Early pride Shassie artt!! I am normal about them, I swear.
Dialogue in case you can't read it!
S: Sexy enough for ya, Lassie-face? *waves around pansexual-themed pan* L: What in the name of Sweet Justice are you wearing, Spencer?.. *mumbles to himself* does that pan have a face?..
*Lassie walks in and puts his coat up and walks toward Shawn.*
L: Where did you even get this? *looking at the pan*
S: Online. It was on sale. Pride exclusive.
L: It's hideous...
S: Hey! This pan has a face! It has feelings!
I wanted to give Shawn earrings like James Roday himself. I wish we could’ve gotten Shawn with some fun earrings. Lol.
The drawings are a bit messy in some areas. I've been very exhausted lately so stuff is messy. [,:
Anyways, enjoy more Shassie!!! 💛💛💛
I'm kind of obsessed with drawing them as cowboys. So, this was fun to do.
Enjoy more Shassie art!! 💛💛💛
(Aa. I forgot to add the watercolour paper texture to the drawing so I fixed it. [,:)
Lassie caught doin' gay shit with Shawn and we love him for it.
I will probably be posting some more ethical omens art soon. Maybe even doodle some T4T Hilson (House x Wilson) art. [:
Anyway, enjoy this Shassie art!! 💛💛💛
hnnng i'm not even done with house md yet but should i get into psych??
Absolutely! Psych is a very very good show. Even though it is a lighthearted show, it still has some serious moments and elements to it. Psych is the kind of show I can watch over and over again at any time because of how light and funny it is. The characters are absolutely loveable. The cast is so precious. Just everything about it is so perfect. Psych is eight seasons long. They also have three movies and a podcast together. The cast really wants to make more movies together.
I adore House MD, obviously, but it is more heavy than the show Psych is. Which sometimes I am not in the mood for. Psych has an episode for everyone. They have a musical episode, Bigfoot episode, cowboy episode, a Christmas episode, uhhh, they have an episode where they all had a late night out together and cannot remember anything that happened to them, a demon possession/“Exorcist” parody episode, a parody of Stephen King’s “The Shining”, a vampire episode, werewolf episode, etc.
There’s so many characters in the show that I just adore. Lassie is my favourite, Woody, Gus, Shawn, McNab, etc. There’s a character for everyone to enjoy. I just adore this show so much and the cast included.
It’s not mentioned in the show, but on Twitter a while back the creators of the show just randomly posted something along the lines of “Oh, yeah, lassie? Not straight. He’s actually pansexual-“ I do believe this was from the actual creators account. So, I thought that was cool.
Lassie and his partner detective Juliet O’Hara are such an amazing example of shows portraying male and female friendships properly. They actually make them friends and have it remain that way. I’m not saying that two people of the opposite sex cannot be together or anything, but it seems every time I watch a show they never make the guy and girl just be friends. There’s always tension and sex and then that’s all it becomes. They are just such an amazing duo and a perfect example of two people of the opposite sex just being besties without any weird tension or sex. I adore it.
I just so so highly recommend Psych to anyone. It’s one of my comfort shows. It’s so nice. Psych, the show and movies, is available on Peacock and Amazon Prime for free. Another show along the lines of Psych but is more serious is called The Mentalist. That show is also SO good. I highly recommend Psych and The Mentalist to anyone looking for something to watch. [:
(I will be making some more Psych and Shassie art in the future. They are one of my favourites to draw. Even the actors ship it. Which is hilarious. Lmao.)
Here have some more of my brain rot. Lassie is my beloved and I wanted a reason to draw him and his stern bush.
The boys are hiding from a criminal and Lassie saves them.
I may draw more art of them in the future!! Enjoy!! 💛💛💛
(I got some new brushes and canvas style and I am loving it. I may permanently use them. I'll have to see.)
