bathroom scene, but edited (by yours truly)
robin: have you.. ever been in love?
steve: yes. but i wish i wasn't, because this girl, the one i was in love with, she hurt me. and, long story short, she didn't feel the same way i did.
robin: are you still in love with this girl?
steve: no.
robin: why?
steve: because i think i found someone who's a little bit better for me. it's crazy, like it's someone who i didn't even talk to in school, maybe it's because tommy h. would have made fun of me, or i wouldn't be prom king. and, i don't know why, because this guy, the one that i like-
robin: HOLD ON, WHAT?
steve: oh. oh god. um. im sorry.
robin: no, it's okay, steve. im uh... im only into girls.
steve: wait, really?
robin: yeah. you know um tammy thompson?
steve: the one who sounds like a muppet?
robin: she does not!
steve: have you heard her? apparently she wants to move to nashville and become a singer or some shit.
robin: she has dreams!
steve: come on. i mean, she's cute and all, but no.
robin: she's kind, and funny-
steve: she has dad jokes, rob! dad jokes.
robin: but they're cute! she would never notice me, though. she's like the definition of straight.
steve: apparently you thought i was too.
robin: yeah, well, that's different.
steve: im bi. so like half straight i guess.
robin: makes sense.
steve: but tammy thompson?
robin: shut up, dingus. you probably like that record store guy. what was his name? eddie? the one with the long hair.
steve:
robin: OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON RECORD STORE GUY!
steve: it'll go away.
robin: OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON RECORD STORE GUY! IS IT HIS HAIR?
steve: I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE HAS SUCH PERFECT HAIR
robin: im sensing some jealousy. oh, an envious crush? enemies to lovers?
steve: robin, i swear-
robin: i could see him liking you, steve.
steve: really?
robin: pfft yeah. plus i hope he does, because if i have to watch you attempt to flirt with another customer, i might throw up again.
steve: well, i don't think we'll be seeing much of starcourt anymore. once people find out that there's a super top secret russian base under scoops, they'll be like 'AHHH'
robin:
steve:
they burst out into laughter
dustin, pushing the door open: where have you two BEEN?
erica: they look like they're on drugs.
dustin: yeah, no shit.
robin: oh, i think i got something on my uniform. is that blood or puke?
steve: maybe both?
robin: OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO RIGHT!
steve: WOAH THE LIGHTS, ROBIN LOOK AT THE LIGHTS
robin: woahh

ok but holy shit the snake imagery in deadloch was so fucking GOOD IT WAS SO GOOD
(Spoilers for Deadloch ahead be warned if ur gonna watch it, I encourage you to scroll bc it’s really really good watching it unfold without spoilers)
Margaret Carruthers being represented as a snake (and as the devil at certain points but that’s less of the focus here) throughout the series was so SO good
Like we hear her say early on that the snakes have “taken over” the island (which is why she claims she won’t let anyone on it), then of course Fay and the kids refer to her and her family as Snakes
then as the story is building, the snakes stay a central theme within that storyline. No one can see the graveyard because it’s “been overrun with snakes”, which are an obvious parallel to her and her family colonizing the town. (It’s impossible to get rid of them, they make breeding with their cousins work, etc)
when Abbey is on the island too far up, she appears behind her and tells her not to go there “or else she’ll get bit”, in a really ominous threatening way, which makes sense because *spoiler warning* she fully killed her brother because he wanted to open up the island to the aboriginal people. It sounds like a threat because it is a threat. She is the snake.
AND OF COURSE she then dies while trying to dig up her brothers body, because she (a white colonist) didn’t understand the land of wildlife enough to properly deal with the snakes, and so got bitten.
it’s so poetic and terrifying like there’s other stuff too I couldn’t describe all of it
She was also imo the scariest part of the show by far
