Lassiter As A Kid Definitely Would Get Unhealthy Excited Over Ponies/horses Compared To Almost Anything

Lassiter as a kid definitely would get unhealthy excited over ponies/horses compared to almost anything else. I can imagine him out with his dad at some stage before he passed away, and just shouting to his dad as if he got hurt or something, and his dad comes over all concerned thinking his son is hurt. Then he just finds Lassie literally just pointing and jumping up and down excitedly, then going over to a horse behind a fence trying to pet it. He's probably try and be fairly gentle. If its a big horse, or just, a horse and not a pony, he'd probably ask his dad to pick him up to pet it. There is even the chance bb lassie would shake his hands excitedly. From the clips i've seen of smaller Lassiter in the films ( i haven't watched them yet so this could be entirely inaccurate) , he hasn't got his cold, closed off exterior yet. Plus i mean, he's a kid also. Idk i think that would gen just be so so cute.

Stress relief oc thing. They are siblings :)

Frr! Ur so right, man. Shawn struggles a lot more socially than he lets on and I didn't really think as deeply about the fact he literally doesn't ever have any other close childhood friends other than gus, but ur so right. I think as a kind of social introvert myself, I can see a lot of my own behaviours in him that I can't quite describe, but they indicate that he isn't as extroverted as he let's on. I don't think he's completely an introvert , but he's deffo more so than he would admit. Its kind of sad because he only ever has close friends from them basically being fourced into knowing him. Gus and him have known each other since they were babies, so we can assume maybe their parents knew each other really well to make it so the two interacted more, maybe ? I remember gus saying that they knew each other when they were 3. Then obviously, juliet , lassie , vick and everyone else was sort of fourced to talk to him. He is sort of capable of making friends, but something about him stops that from happening a lot, and I don't think its just him being loud.

Also tyy again for ur lil post and I'm glad I helped to put into words what u mean :D

Okay, so, I have thoughts. Shawn is actually, very (and I’m not sure if this is the right word, but I don’t have anything else), anti-social. Like, for his entire life basically, his only real friend and connection was Gus. Besides that, we’ve never seen or heard of any other friends— and it’s not even because it’s a T.V show either, because we’ve seen Gus’s old college friends, his friend from his childhood summer camp, as well as his ex wife. Even Lassiter and Juliet got time with other people, Like Lassiter had his old police academy rivalry, (I’m not even going to get into his ex-wife) and And Juliet got an episode where she reunited with an old boyfriend. Even Henry got to reunite with his old cop buddies (okay, sure they were corrupt, but the point still stands). And there’s probably more that I’m forgetting, but that’s all I can remember from the top of my head. And Shawn’s literally the main character!! And he got nothing!! And, like, yes, Lassiter and Juliet are his friends, and I know that it’s just a TV show and I’m thinking wayy too much into it and projecting (I am) but they literally spend like, zero time together outside of work/cases (not counting Juliet and Shawn becoming a couple). And even then that took them like, almost a decade lmao. I think that he gets it from his mom, and I know that we know literally next to nothing about her, but from what we do know, she’s a lot like Shawn in the way that they both just.. Left. Parallels idk.

Anyways, this post was sort of based off of @grapebritain ‘s post about Shawn, because their post allowed me to take some thoughts that I already had and put them into ~words~ so, yeah! Go check that out too. 100%

It's so cool how ppl see episodes differently. I do agree that Jules is great. I love Jules. Honestly, she's such a cool, strong female character. Good point tho on the whole Lassiter acting diffrent than usual. He is a bit of a lovey dovey person as well to be fair , eventho he pretends he's not smh

Hopefully i don't get eaten alive for this psych opinion, but does anyone else get really uncomfy by 'this episode sucks'...?Marlowe really both annoys me and creeps me out. Same with Lassiter (sorry buddy).

I find it really weird that they try and make it romantic that she literally stalks him. First off she calls him his first name somehow which is really creepy if you think about it. Imagine someone just sat next to you , you've never met before and starts using your first name. Second, she admits she literally just sat there, silently waiting and watching for him to come out. Literally observing his every move and that is somehow meant to be romantic...?

Lassie annoys me this entire episode too, he acts extremely irresponsible imo and down right infuriating. He ends up trusting her over his literal closest friends he has known for YEARS, even though they clearly just care about him and want to make sure he's safe.

The touchyness of him and Marlowe that happens almost immediately is also scary, and the fact he isn't insanely creeped out by the crap she does. I hate how they touch each other constantly only a day after they have met each other. It's so out of character for Lassiter considering he's a little introvert half the time and seems like he HATES being touched, or people in his personal space. He's usually sceptical of literally everyone , so the fact he trusts her so blindly is odd to say the least.

idk this episode just freaks me out and annoys me. Not to mention the fact gus and shawn go after ..vampires..? Even though shawn doesn't believe in all that kind of crap. He acs so childish but there isn't any smart charm to it. He's just stupid.

Something cool i haven't seen anyone point out yet. Lassiters middle name 'Jebediah' literally means 'beloved friend'. No idea if this was intentional by the writers but i think it's really sweet.

I think there is something really special about Lassiter and O'haras relationship. It's so refreshing to see opposite sex characters just being friends and romance not being put into the mix. Bonus, they also have a very close relationship with each other, which is made very clear when Lassiter jumps in to save her when she was put in danger on the clocktower. Of course, he also hugs her too , comforting her when she needs it, and it is completely platonic and wholsome. They kind of give me little sister, big brother vibes, and I love that. Lassiter is the grumpy , protective big brother, while jules is the fierce but bubbly little sister.
