Gift vid for thingswithwings (Psych)

[fv_poster]

Title of vid: Don't Walk Away
Vidder: Franzeska
Recipient: thingswithwings
Fandom: Psych (TV)
Music: "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds
Summary: As a normal person who understands things like the work week and personal boundaries, I sympathize with Gus and his desire to occasionally have a life away from Shawn. As a marshmallow-y tv viewer and Psych addict, however, I can't help but notice how much Shawn NEEDS Gus. Look! Look at his FACE!

This is super, I especially loved all the bit with the younger them, cut with the grown up them, such a happy ending, and obviously a perfect song, and yes. Fabulous:)

[lamardeuse]

Oh, love this to bits! :)

[themadlurker]

Eeee! This is so great! I think I squeaked at every fist-bump and Gus bringing Shawn in out of the cold. ♥ I love the plotiness of this, with Gus moving on and Shawn's tiny little angsty face about it. I also love that this highlights Gus' romances, when it sometimes feels like Shawn gets all the play in the series. And I love the way you used clips like Shawn-as-bender's fist pump and the whole 80's feel to the vid, which works really well for this show. Great job!

Love it!

Shawn! ::snuggles!:: I love watching him all jealous and angsty when he's not getting all of Gus' attention.

This is one of my fav. shows ever and 99.9% of it is the Shawn & Gus relationship and ::snuggles vid liek woah:: This is so adorable. Shawn gets blamed a lot (by the other characters) for being a bad influence on Gus so I just adore the way you showed him still being an utter goof with or without him (Gus with the models? Haha, awesome!)

And, of course, fist bumps! FTW. And the pineapple! Bwah! It's just not a Psych vid without honorable mention of :)

♥ ♥ ♥ So, so fantastic.

N'AWWWWWW SHAWN AND GUS <3

I love how this vid points out that Gus is actually kind of a player. And NEEDY SHAWN!!! <3 So amazing.

[china_shop]

Shawn, Gus and a BUNNY! Especially Gus!

So much love!

[scaramouche]

Epic friendship! I may have laughed way too hard at Shawn's puppy dog face of anguish towards Gus.

[thingswithwings]

OH MY GOODNESS ANON you are so great! I loled with utter joy when I heard the opening strains, because, YES! Gus/Shawn to eighties nostalgia! Could not be more perfect. You do such a great job of showcasing Shawn's neediness and love and aaaannnnnggggsssst here - which you take seriously, but not TOO seriously, which is great. I think it's completely true that Shawn's need for Gus is just completely out of control, and the source of many of his antics . . . that's just a great concept. I especially adore your fistbump choices, and then the ending with little Shawn and Gus! just made my heart go pitter-pat.

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ALLCAPS FOR THIS! It made my face do this: :D :D :D :D :D :D Now I just want to squish Shawn and Gus. And you. Especially you. *squish*

[red_eft]

Awww, Shawn! This was so good.

[aris_tgd]

YES, SHAWN'S LITTLE FAAAACE! N'aww, BOYS! This is adorable!

[starlady]

Look at his FACE indeed. This is so, well, adorable, and just right on the level of angst. <3

[bethctg]

HUGE GRIN. Very happy-making! :)

[tieleen]

Aw, this vid! I love Shawn-and-Gus almost as much as Shawn does (...well, okay, I would have if that was possible for mere mortals), and this vid made me sad and happy and squishy-feeling. Wonderful song choice, and lovely lovely vid.

[minxy]

Awwww, superfriends!

[franzeska]

Hee. He totally is a player, at least when he avoids Shawn long enough that Shawn can't completely sabotage his relationships.

THANK YOU for luring my MV-obsessed ass into watching Psych.

[franzeska]

The bunny is a must! How cute are they, I mean really!

[franzeska]

Don't worry: I'm right there laughing with you. On the one hand, you want to go "Oh, Shawn" and give him a big hug. On the other, HA HA HA HA HA.

[franzeska]

:D :D :D :D :D

I've only just started watching, but how could I resist? I mean, Shawn! GUS!

[franzeska]

Thanks!

[franzeska]

I know, this whole vid was pretty much inspired by thinking "HIS FAAAAAACE" in allcaps. :D

[franzeska]

:D

[franzeska]

Aww, thanks!

[franzeska]

It is kind of a super-human level of love, isn't it? :D

[franzeska]

I'll bet Shawn was more of a Thundercats kid than a Superfriends one... What? What? ;)

[franzeska]

Aww, thanks! Yeah, I had to end it happily. I mean, come on!

[franzeska]

Aww, your icon! ♥

[franzeska]

It grew a plot on me! I don't know where that came from. :D

I love Gus so much. He deserves 2134134131 more vids.

[franzeska]

:D

[franzeska]

I know! It's so cute. He's so frantic it pretty much tops any amount of caramel-eating on Gus's part.

I think Gus loves having Shawn around because it gives him an excuse to do wacky things while still claiming he's Mr. Responsible. :D But, really, he could get into plenty of trouble all on his own.

Yes, the pineapple is... like... a symbol man. The pineapple IS SHAWN. (It's deep.)

[nakedbee]

Awesome!

[franzeska]

:D
