Listen. We need to talk about Maybelle Fox for a moment.
Maybelle, who clocked Jo as queer from jump, literally heard Jo confirm that she was her “type” and still didn’t hesitate to continue rooming with her all season bc Maybelle knew that Jo was still a safe person.
Maybelle who is definitely from a rural and more conservative part of the world (she talks about showing hogs at the Hee-Haw county fair), who tells Shirl to just accept people as they are.
Maybelle who is the hardest partying member of the team bc she’s a mother of multiple children and this probably the closest thing she’s had to a vacation for most, if not all, of her adult life.
Maybelle, whose pep talk is about her tits and how they’re the best.
Maybelle, who as a straight woman apparently has a better gaydar than Lupe.
And most importantly, for this moment:
Shirl: [Greta’s] probably queer too.
Maybelle: 👀👀👀 Well….
Maybelle Fox is just a gleeful ally/den mother who is out here drinking it up and knitting in the background, knowing full well she is not the main character and happy as a duck in water about it.
