The Running Bit Of Shawn Being An Excellent Shot But Entering Every Single Very Dangerous Situation Completely

the running bit of shawn being an excellent shot but entering every single Very Dangerous Situation completely unarmed is so fun because it just contains so many multitudes within it. practical interpretation? has a criminal record & california gun laws are relatively strict. personality wise? silly little pacifist with no sense of self preservation. meta narratively? the main character and he knows it. archetypally? sets him apart from the cops. funniest interpretation? cosmic forces at play in the universe think shawn and his fraudulent psychic schtick are deeply funny. hes actually just too touched by god to ever need a weapon to survive; a spiritually unkillable guy.

uh, well, uh-

I think Shawn and Gus really set the standard for me of what being a best friend should look like in media.

Is your best friend really your best friend if they don’t unabashedly help you with your shenanigans?

Is your best friend really your best friend if yall are not codependent to the point that people think you’re married and know you come as a package deal?

Are yall really best friends if you can’t call each other in the middle of the night to help cover up your presence at a crime screen?? Would they try to run into a bank to get you during a bank robbery? These are the questions you should be asking yourself.

The universe is indifferent. We ought not to be.

Remember in Psych when Gus kept having nightmares about Shawn leaving him and then the whole last episode of the series was about Shawn and Gus having to go their separate ways and then Gus was like "actually you're my best friend why would I live anywhere you aren't??" Bc I think about it all the time and how having friends who you love and who love you is the whole point of everything and the best friendship bw Shawn and Gus is one of if not THEE most beautiful and important relationships I've ever watched in media

my favorite thing the simpsons ever did was make lisa a polyamorous lesbian
