Why I love Shassie
'Psych' is one of my comfort shows. I absolutely adore it and it is one of the fews show I have seen that I consider to be PERFECT. That being said, I still wish I could see a cut of the show where Shassie were the endgame pairing. I know why it never happened, I do like Shules well enough, but Shassie just has so much comedic and compelling potential in this show. They're a fascinating AU and What If scenario that I do sometimes wish I could have seen play out.
There wouldn't have been so much drama about the 'reveal' that Shawn isn't psychic. Jules was the only character in the show who 100% believed that Shawn was psychic. Everyone else ranged from actively helping the lie (Gus & Henry), sceptical but accepting of Shawn's methods (Vick) to flat out refusal to believe (Lassiter). If Shassie had gotten together, then I think that it would have been a fun quirk of their relationship. They both KNOW that Shawn isn't psychic, but Shawn won't tell him the truth (because it's less fun) and Lassiter wants to work it out by himself anyway. So it could have just been a "I won't tell you the truth but if you ever figure it out, I'll tell you if you're right" through-line. Plus then we wouldn't have had the awkwardness of Shawn having to maintain such a big lie in his relationship with Jules (even Abigail - his other main love interest - didn't seem to buy that he was really psychic) and the drama after Jules worked it out. (That stretch of episodes after Jules found out were some of my least favorites due to this plot point hanging over everything.)
The "Oh God, no. Why him????" realisation comedy - especially from Lassiter - when they realise they like each other. Lassiter is canonically pansexual but he's definitely 100% Spencerphobic. Lassiter would have zero qualms about liking dudes but liking Shawn is probably where he draws the line. Shawn would also probably have a similar reaction and the comedy would be GOLD.
Gus' reaction. If Shassie's reaction to liking each other would have been comedy gold, Gus' reaction to if the two started dating would have been comedy platinum. Henry also would have probably had a really funny reaction as well. To be honest, everyone would have, but Gus' reaction would have been spectacular.
It wouldn't have even really changed their dynamic. I can 100% see Shawn and Lassiter being EXACTLY the same with each other while working - because they're both competitive about case solving and bickering is their form of flirting honestly - but burning off all that at work and having an actual functioning relationship when they aren't working. It would probably confuse the hell out of everyone else but it would be a hilarious contrast to their working/home life.
The episodes where Lassiter and Shawn work together are some of the best in the show anyway and would have been great stepping stones to a Frenemies to Lovers kind of story. Seasons 3 & 4 are peak Shassie with 'Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing', 'The Head, The Tail, and the Whole Damn Episode', 'Gus Walks into a Bank', 'Shawn Gets the Yips' and 'Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark' being some of my favorites in the entire show. 'Last Night Gus' in S6 is also particularly standout for Shassie content.
Did I mention that the theme song 'I Know, You Know' is basically Shawn singing to Lassiter?
I know, you know, that I'm not telling the truth, I know, you know, they just don't have any proof, Embrace the deception, learn how to bend, Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end!
Lassiter is the one who learns how to bend and embrace the deception over the course of the show (he breaks that disk in the season finale because he's fully accepted it and doesn't need to know the answer.) And he is the only character NOT in on the lie who 100% doesn't believe Shawn and doesn't just embrace and accept what he's doing.
So, in conclusion, Psych is perfect, but Shassie is that one extra nugget of gold I wish could have been unearthed within it. If you haven't seen Psych, please do. It's such a fun show and one I revisit every once in a while. The entire cast is clearly having an absolute blast making it and the mysteries are always really fun to watch play out.

Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.

Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: Psych (TV 2006) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Carlton Lassiter/Shawn Spencer Characters: Shawn Spencer, Carlton Lassiter, Juliet O'Hara Additional Tags: Insecure Carlton Lassiter, Insecure Shawn Spencer, Jealousy, Jealous sex, Miscommunication, Misunderstandings, Hurt/Comfort, Other Additional Tags to Be Added Summary:
After several sexual encounters, with several degrees of intentionality and drunkenness, Shawn and Carlton find themselves in a surprisingly stable -tooootalyyyy not romantic- “arrangement”. All was relatively well until their ex-loves apparently become available again, and after a couple of misunderstandings, they become convinced they are going to get dumped for the other’s old flame.
Faced with this predicament, they both realise that they might be in deeper than they thought and that they might’ve missed their shot at a serious relationship with one another.
Aka. Two emotionally stunted, insecure, idiots have jealous sex because they rather be burnt at the stake that be the first to confess their feelings.

idk if anyone else has said this but Daisuke getting on the ship and immediately grabbing onto the railing and sighing has the exact same vibe as Cumulous Rocks crying over magical relics

naddpod’s great because when moonshine says to melora “I beg of you not for mercy because I know you do not give that out easily, but for kindness” you’d think it’s from a really significant emotional moment in the story, but it’s actually her asking melora to rain down coconut water on the burning Kongo Bongo Island right after brutally beating Funky Kong to death
