So I told myself at the beginning of watching Psych that I wasn’t going to put on my slash goggles and start shipping gay lovin’ and I lasted for a whole year before I cracked like an egg thrown from a ten story building.
I have no idea what triggered it, but I think good fanfiction has something to do with it. Nothing kills a pairing like a lack of quality stories but I managed to be lucky and found some Shawn/Lassiter that blew my mind because of how in-character it was and now I am officially on the Shassie boat. It’s really unfortunate, because for a good while I was okay with Shawn/Juliet and I thought it was adorable and now I’ve gotten all protective of Shawn and have gone hardcore slash shipper on this show. I would ask myself WHYYYY because shipping canon ships would have been so much easier, but then again, this way is so much more fun.
I really want to make a Shawn/Lassiter manifesto of my own alongside some fanfiction based on a) constant need for touchiness and manhandling b) general boy-girl-elementary-school-crush behavior c) Lassiter’s following through on all of Shawn’s hunches even if he doesn’t believe he’s a psychic d) the scene where he rescues his motorcycle for the impound and e) pretty much the entire episode Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark.
Shassie minions, I am one of you now.
