Bisexual Shawn Spencer - Tumblr Posts
It still baffles me how shawn isn't cannonly Bisexual . Usually I don't mind if things like that aren't cannon , bc it can be subtle or just a little headcannon. Shawn tho really obviously displays intrest in both men and women , yet is still regarded as stright.
It is just kind of odd to me. That man isn't just comfy in his sexuality , because Gus is pretty comfy in his as a stright dude and I don't think of him as being gay/bi ect (u can think what u like tho and all are epic 💪).
Shawn acts very questionable a lot of the time. In season 1 he was borderline flirtatious (or full on) with Lassiter , and across the shows run there are several questionable comments he makes, or other characters make about his intrest in both men and women. Maybe I'm projecting on him too much or smth, idk , but some stuff he said man just raises eyebrows sometimes.
(to note, i haven't watched all of psych yet )
Like how i was speaking about in my last post, Shawn isn't just 'comfy in his sexuality' i don't think anyway. To me , it seems a lot more than that. Again, i could be projecting but I've seen a LOT of other people agree with the idea that Shawn spencer isn't 100 percent straight and i think ik why.
I think it's fine if straight guys make gay jokes ofc. ik i am technically bi myself, i do make a lot of gay jokes towards my friends and things and it is in no way romantically charged. Thing is, Shawn doesn't JUST make jokes in the show. sometimes he's 100 percent serious. To the viewer, the scene may be a joke, but the in world situation he isn't joking.
The main example i can think of is that one scene where Gus calls out the fact Shawn had a romantically charged dream about a fireman for example. Although it is, again a joke to us the viewer to giggle a little, you can see that Shawn starts getting very annoyed and serious about it , indicating that this dream he has was very likely a real thing that happened he didn't want Gus talking about everywhere which is just one of many questionable things i think that makes many viewers suspicious.
Also , bc i love me some Shassie, whenever Jules is romantically interested in someone else, Shawn starts acting a little bit flirtatious again towards Lassiter, like the episode where Gus is trapped in the bank he seems fairly glued to him most of the time when he can be.
I have nothing wrong at all with straight guys being comfy with their sexuality at all, but the way Shawn acts....idk there is something off with it that screams something else below the surface. I do think he likely has a female preference , bc obvs he is only ever seen dating women , but i don't think that makes him straight bc of it.
also just wanna add a final note that, i actually like how psych doesn't make sexuality the forefront of someone's personality for the most part, like Lassiter is pansexual but it isn't like....his ONLY trait, so i don't think i'd want the show 'more gay' or whatever. i just think it would be nice if they could confirm or smth that Shawn could be bi.
