Something I love about Abbott Elementary that you don’t see very often in other shows, is that the kids act like kids, but they’re not villainized for it.

Of course the younger kids are treated well, that’s to be expected. But the middle schoolers are often disrespectful, talk back to their teachers, don’t take things seriously, they rebel, etc. They act like middle schoolers. And they’re not shamed for it. They’re not the ones expected to change, the teachers are.

Middle schoolers are almost always villainized as being annoying and insufferable, so I appreciate that Abbott Elementary let them be annoying and insufferable without having to face any sort of consequences for a natural part of being human and growing up.

I found Janine and Gregory's fight so fascinating - and completely in character for them both.

Janine has always had issues with her relationship to money; her mom was almost certainly financially irresponsible and neglectful throughout her entire childhood, and now that Janine is an adult, her mom routinely uses money as a form of emotional manipulation. Then there's Tariq, her first (only?) relationship before Gregory, where Janine bore the entire financial burden of supporting him even as a grown man.

Gregory grew up in a very strict household where money was probably regarded as something not to be "wasted" on frivolous things.

It makes perfect sense that their first big fight, the one they can't easily reconcile, is over money.

They probably never even talked finances before they moved in. Because why would they? Everything else between them has been so easy, they've been in agreement about nearly everything, and the few things they haven't have been small things they've been able to talk about.

But this is so much bigger, and it's something they clearly can't talk about without both sides getting emotional. It's clear neither of them can see the other's side right now, and when they try to compromise, they fail.

Janine's version of compromise is "let me take on the burden without asking you" and Gregory's is "here are two options that I want, and if you don't want to do either, than we just won't do anything" - echoing both their childhoods, maybe?

It's obvious they're going to find their way back from this - they're the main couple of the show, how could they not? - and I'm excited to watch them grow as people.

Do you ever look at a gif from @branzinos and think "dang, that lighting is so beautiful, like a pulp novel cover" and then your brain won't let you rest until you make a thing?

I hope this inspires you to drop everything and read Surface Protocol, the Cold War navy wives Barlissa AU by @katiehoughton!

The whole story is well-written, but this was the moment that grabbed me like THIS IS A COMIC PAGE AND YOU MUST DRAW IT.

Thanks to @branzinos for posting gifs of young Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lisa Ann Walter :)
