Ok, so Psych is now AWESOME.
Well, I'm certain it has always been awesome, but it has recently been bumped up from, huh, if it's on I'll watch it to OMG PSYCH YAY NO I CAN'T GO OUT ON THURSDAY BECAUSE, DUDE, PSYCH! This is the same thing that happened to both House and Fake News, so expect large amounts of squee, and the hunting of the Psych actors through their careers.
Now, because it is new, it also has sproinged plot bunnies, and vid ideas, and fanmix ideas (yes, I post fanmixes, but generally on comms- my best is the "Stephen" mix- Give the Man a Hand- on fakenews_fanfic, for those who like TDS/TCR and rock music)
I will obviously be unable to pin one of these down on my own, so some help deciding would be cool- obviously, I can't do the vid, because I have no clips, although I know exactly which clips I would use.
vids-In Love With The Eighties by Relient K
Because, dude, the EIGHTIES in this fandom, I love it. And In Love With The Eighties is just so, so Shawn.
mixs-Watching The Detectives. General Psych love. Because it's awesome, and my playlists are made to match.
fic-Lassiter takes it upon himself to try and prove Shawn would never make it as a real detective. Shawn is all pfft, whatever, Lassie. Lassie pushes. Shawn does police-y things. There is awesomeness. Shawn proves he would be A KICKASS police man. Lassie is confused as to why he isn't. Shawn bunks off to go drink smoothies with Gus. All is made clear.
-For some unknown reason, Shawn goes undercover at a different police station, this time as a detective (yes, I know it makes no sense...work with me here, k?), with Lassiter as his partner. There are hijinks. There is protocol. There are paperwork cramps. There are many long suffering phone calls to Gus about said paper work cramps and protocol and Lassie being a prick. Case is solved, they return to Santa Barbara, and Shawn is overjoyed and runs off to go do Shawn-ish things like annoy Gus and harrass Jules and try to figure out how to bake pineapple upside down cake in the Easy Bake Oven without causing food poisoning.
-There are pineapples everywhere now that Lassiter associates with Shawn. Why? It used to be mangoes. A.K.A. cracktastic fruit ponderings while Lassie tries to fill in paper work.
And various snippets of Gus and Shawn and Lassie, because I love them, and unlike the girls, I think I could write them.
