MELISSA WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT HER LIKE THAT
That’s not just “I’m listening to you”
That’s I’m hanging on your every word
Every movement, every expression
Because I love you

How are y'all feeling about the work wives? Normal and calm? Cool, yeah me too...
[Image ID: A digital painting of Melissa Schemmenti and Barbara Howard from Abbott Elementary. They are sitting at their usual table in the teacher's lounge with a few items on the table (coffee, a bowl and a pepper shaker). They are leaning towards each other with their shoulders touching. They are holding hands on the table, their fingers interlaced. Their gazes are fixed on each other and they're giving each other soft smiles. There is a warm light coming from the left that is adding a gentle glow to Barbara's face and Melissa's back. The painting is a bit sketchy, with some lines and rough edges visible. End ID]

I will spend this entire week (month? Forever??) thinking about Barbara’s speech to ava about her relationship to church and choir in 03x05
And right now that’s thinking about how Barbara is friends with abbott’s more colourful teachers
Now call me a member of the alphabet mafia but when I hear colourful I think gay
And when I think gay I think jacob and melissa
Jacob her work son, her gardening buddy, who she’s taken under her wing, who despite homophobia from the other church sisters she would never share in that. Sometimes she has old school values (see the mom with the bitch tattoo) but not with this.
Melissa her work wife, though not canonically queer (yet), her closest colleague and if we’re talking people Barbara is friends with at Abbott well Melissa is number one.
And of course colourful could mean shady, not of the lord if you will. And well Melissa does plenty that could be side eyed by those women. But not Barb. Despite the importance of her faith, despite up until now it seeming as though she were perfect saint barbara woman of God. Despite that she still lets in, bonds with, forms a partnership with this woman who doesn’t align with her values, who she’s judged for befriending. But it doesn’t matter, because Melissa matters more.
One of the things that really gets me about their partnering, about their relationship, a reason I love barlissa so much, is that on paper they shouldn’t work. They shouldn’t get along, Barb should be wary or judgey towards Melissa. Mel should find Barbara boring and too prim and proper. But that’s not who they are, they’re not on paper, they’re nuanced and real, with emotions and experiences that shape who they are including their relationships. It’s two people who shouldn’t get on but who actually care for each other earnestly and have done so for a long time.
