“Why can’t Eddie and Buck just be friends?”
Because, dear fandom, they have not been set up as just best friends. Intentional or not, the way they have been cinematically filmed and edited, the way they have been written, and the way they have been acted scream romantic/sexual chemistry.
You want to watch meaningful male friendships? Go watch Psych, a show that portrays a best friendship with no romantic or sexual elements and does so quite beautifully.
Go watch Shawn and Gus and then compare them to Buck and Eddie.
I can respect the Tevan shippers who prefer Tommy over Eddie. That’s a matter of opinion. What is a matter of fact is the queer, homoerotic subtext that has been injected into this show between Buck and Eddie.
If you watch this show and don’t see that, I fear media literacy is dead.

Okay, I've been having some THOUGHTS
Okay, does anyone know that scene in Psych where Shawn, Gus, and Henry have to buy a car for a case and there's this joke about Shawn not knowing how to haggle and spending all their money on the car?
Okay, so my question is Does Shawn know how to haggle? Either he genuinely doesn't know how to haggle OR he's playing dumb, as we all know he loves to do, and is wasting their money because it's funny to him.
Shawn is very smart but he plays dumb so well that even Gus and Henry often forget he's a genius
So I was thinking this through, rolling it over in my head and, Shawn travelled the world with nothing but the clothes on his back! OF COURSE he knows how to haggle, so why didn't he?
From where I see it, there's 2 options,
1. He didn't realize that cars are one of those things you have to haggle on
But then someone pointed out to me on discord, what about his motorcycle?
NO WAY he payed full price for that thing! And if he haggled for IT then why wouldn't he know to haggle foe a car despite never buying one?
So, this leads to option 2
2. Shawn KNEW he was supposed to haggle but doesn't care about money and likes pretending to be stupid so he wasted their money on purpose for the bit
Gus will wake up in a cold sweat in 10 years with the realization that Shawn did it on purpose and call him at 2am to yell at him about it.
But, what about secret option number 3?
That's right! There's a secret 3rd option:
3. Shawn relies on his OP charisma stat to get things for free when traveling the world, he manipulated and charmed his way into traveling the world, he's never had to actually haggle because his go to is charisma
What I'm getting at is Shawn went "Haha, I'm not doing that in front of my dad, I will pay full price."
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

That other thread is getting too long and it's starting to get annoying to scroll to the bottom of it, so here's a restart
Anywhoooo what mental illnesses do you think each character has in 🍍?
okay so lassie is probably on the autism spectrum, but i'd also say he has/had some substance abuse issues with alcohol and also struggles/struggled with depression. and from what we've seen he's got some childhood trauma
shawn very obviously has adhd. he's also got some unresolved childhood trauma and a bit of a hero complex. i wouldn't say he's a narcissist but he's very self centered and could be considered a pathological liar by some people
gus probably has an anxiety disorder, most likely generalized anxiety disorder(i would say maybe ocd but that's a bit extreme for his symptoms). i do think that he could potentially have add as well
jules is probably neurotypical though considering her line of work and what we know of her past(fairly standard childhood and whatnot), a future ptsd diagnosis wouldn't be entirely unexpected
honestly a future ptsd diagnosis wouldn't be fully unexpected for any of them tho

Psych incorrect quotes: a series (cont.🍝🦑🪥) (Warning: there will be Shassie)
—————
Juliet: Make her pussy wet not her eyes.
Lassiter: Make his dick hard not his life.
Shawn: Break her bed not her heart.
Gus: Play with her boobs not her feelings.
Chief Vick: Get on his dick not his nerves.
Woody: Always salt your pasta while boiling it.
———
Gus, watching the news: Some idiot started a fight with a squid at the aquarium.
Shawn, covered in ink: Maybe the squid was being a dick.
———
*after Shassie first kiss*
Shawn: *ranting to Gus about how amazing the kiss was*
Lassiter: *when Juliet asked* Ehh. It was fine. He'd brushed his teeth, at least. Anyways-

Weekend warriors is one of my fave episodes for a multitude of reasons
The way Shawn flirts with Sally Reynolds at the briefing was fantastic. Shes such a memorable one off character and she doesn’t really do much. I credit that to Clair Coffee and her dazzling smile.
One of the best moments of Shawn showing just how amazing his memory is, and the little montage was wonderfully set up. But Gus really shouldn’t be surprised by now. Out of everyone (except maybe his dad) he should be the least amazed by his gifts.
It has my favorite most stupidest joke i still laugh at to this day actually ive been promoted. Its Captain Crunch now.
I have a deep appreciation of this show for never shying away from the fact that Gus is black. It seems like a lot of 00’s shows simply avoided the topic altogether (if they even had a black main). Starting from the pilot when gus placed his hands on the dash when the cop pulled them over. It goes to show how important it is to collaborate with your actors, particularly if your writing room demographics don’t correlate with your acting talent.
The fuck are you talking about henry. It took him 4 months after he was born to smile at you and thats when you acknowledge him??? I mean, i think they both know thats crap, but still lol
Solid Juliet moment. I love that they showed she was scared, but was brave enough to continue. Too many shows try to do feminism by making their female characters not feel fear for some reason? Or like, they’re kind of crazy and seek it out. Idk. Its nice that shes allowed to be afraid and vulnerable. It makes her feel like a real person.
THIS!
Tumblr media
That end scene is the saddest fucking thing ive ever seen, and might be the most heartbreaking little shawn moment in the series. Im going to word for word this because i need ppl to share in my awwws
Shawn: Gus, when we grow up, think ill ever be as cool as you?
Gus: You’re better at kickball
Shawn: Not what I asked
Gus: We talking about your dad again?
Shawn: mm-hmm
Gus: Come on dude, the guy respects you
Shawn: Not like he does you
Gus: I’m not his son. I mean, he might like me okay, but he loves you
Shawn: Did he say that?
Gus: No.
Shawn: Well then how can you be sure?
Gus: You mean he’s never said it?
Shawn: Come on Gus, we’re guys.
SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE but i’m going to do that in my henry analysis ep. Theres just too much to say.

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.

Gus: YES!!! I just got a nat 20!
Shawn; A wha?
Gus: I rolled a perfect roll for my charisma check, Shawn.
Shawn: Oh
Shawn: Bet you wish that you could do that in real life.
Gus: Shawn-
Shawn: You probably could if you didn't yell out stuff about bat 20s or whatever you said.
Gus: It's NAT 20 and I bet you've never had a real life nat 20 charisma moment in your life, Shawn. Unlike me, the smoothest man alive.
Shawn, the most charismatic man in Santa Barbara, potentially the entire country: Uh-huh, keep telling yourself that, buddy
