we need to talk about maggie.

ive thought on this slightly before, but im essentially erasing that post and going to go gung-ho into the depths of speculation on whether there may be more to maggie than meets the eye... because - well, something doesn't seem right, does it? and no, i don't think she's a demon. in fact, i think she's the opposite.

right - im just going to put it out there. i think maggie used to be an angel, and took the same kind of route that gabriel did. i think muriel may have been her mirror, where they similarly got Got by metatron, but the demotion-punishment threatened to gabriel actually worked. bear with me on this, and ill explain (in no particular order):

trapped in the coffeeshop

one of the major indicators to me is where nina and maggie are trapped in the coffeeshop. because even if it's close to closing time, it was light outside, and there were plenty of people still on the street. banging on the windows would have made someone notice. in fact, even when it's dark out, and that one passerby happens to go past, they actually acknowledge nina and maggie, but do nothing.

maggie also remarks that she can see her shop has its door open, and that anyone could go in and rob it; in fact, seems strange that noone does. however, the thing that is eerie to me is the following:

a scenario that potentially seems a bit familiar...

however, i don't think maggie is consciously doing it. and tbh, i don't think aziraphale is consciously doing it either. both scenarios have massive implications for agency and free will, setting up scenarios where they are essentially in a curated environment where they can instigate a romantic interaction with the subject of their affections... and things get out of hand. but it does seem that aziraphale's power channelled through this motive is amplified, and it's potentially the same for maggie.

one thing i will remark is that aziraphale's magic certainly seems to at least affect maggie, but she does seem halfway compos mentis throughout it - acknowledging the oddity of it, but not thinking much further. now, if maggie has the same kind of ability, could aziraphale be similarly afflicted in kind? say, falsely recollects maggie's great-grandmother, or indeed anything else that maggie might hypothetically falsely recollect, a story she might have had implanted or spun subconsciously for herself? (a stretch, i know, but work with me here)

simple thing #1 - earrings

not each of these reasons are going to be insightful, so here; have a look at her earrings (i tried to get the best screencap possible, promise):

(they look like angel wings) and again seem to echo the wing-theme in other gold jewellery we've seen:

"say that to my face!"

im going to practically lift this directly off of my original maggie speculation post, but: there seems to be a theme of both the bookshop and the bentley now needing direct permission from either of aziraphale or crowley for other angels or demons to enter - the bentley one is explicit by means of shax needing aziraphale's permission to enter in ep4, but he also implies in ep2 that crowley likewise has the power of permission for the bookshop, even if crowley doesn't quite cotton on until maybe ep6.

regardless - the issue appears to be that the way that this is put across is that the bookshop in particular is theirs, and it's their permission that matters. but maggie slips up, invited in the demons in ep5, and so on it goes. now this could be easily explained by her own shop still being within the boundary line of the sanctuary, as her shop was originally carved out from a backroom of the bookshop.

but in which case, why would her power hold sway anyway, if she's a human? crowley couldn't give permission (or so he thought) for shax to enter the bookshop, so why would she be able to, if she were human? if she's not an angel, why would her permission to enter the sanctuary - specifically through the bookshop doorway and regardless of her shop being in the boundary - have any weight in the angel vs demon dynamic? it might be because she herself is under aziraphale's protection, but that seems a bit... unlikely? (she says, whilst speculating that maggie is in fact essentially a renegade angel)

simple thing #2 - drinking

miscellaneous items

as i remarked in this LWA response, she seems to be the closest aziraphale has yet gotten to any human; something-something about crowley's line on angels and beehives

the misspelling of "urgency" seems like a rather in-your-face red herring pointing towards her being a demon. put simply, wouldn't be surprised if it were to essentially suggest the exact opposite instead

gabriel was originally sentenced to be memory-wiped and demoted to 38th scrivener, which people have speculated on as being potentially what happened to muriel, in their being 37th. gabriel however opts to leg it out of heaven, and gets wiped en route. could something similar have happened to maggie? after all-

there are other bits and pieces that just vaguely don't seem right about maggie, which im sure i'll come back to at some stage. it might be that she was actually fully yeeted out of the BOL and so she's essentially now a human where the angel element of her 'never existed', but something went a bit screwy and she's still capable of some angelic power. it also - and i fully believe this too - might be that she is just genuinely reflective of certain pivotal moments that occur in s2, a walking embodiment of foreshadowing! but at the same time - i think there possibly might be some truth in others saying that there is something not quite right about maggie.

Imagine if Jin Zixuan DID yeet his brother from another mother (🥲) down the stairs.

Meng Yao: I'm your brother. Happy birthday! 🥰

Jin Zixuan: There can only be one. YEET

I am truly sad he didn't; think of the 'No Doubles' memes that we could have had...

#ask #Convoluted edit...my apologies...but do you see my vision?#Original text is: 'jesus was kin with god and was executed because the roman emperor said no doubles.'#I sort of recall CQL/The Untamed having JZX kicking Meng Yao but I could be imagining it #My memory is bad. As I keep reminding everyone. Do not ask me to recall things. I have brain damage. And an attention disorder.#I'm a big fan of the theory of Jin Zixuan and Meng Yao being born same day AND year. Adds to the drama. Tragic not-really-twins #Also sitting here right now and realizing that their arcs go in the reverse direction of each other.#Parallels in the way your mirror image is the opposite reflection of you.#Every empty space one leaves is filled by the other. Every gain one makes the other diverts in the opposite direction.#Oh no I think its time to write another essay.

"hyacinth, i do not think penelope can breathe" → "i cannot breathe" + the clock chiming after penelope passes out, ergo.... she does indeed actually stop breathing.

*pokes at my conspiracy board*

okay hear me out. there's a mysterious HG sibling that step is apparently the spitting image of but that "died" in juvenile detention. step themself thinks maybe said sibling could have been a source for the dna used to create them.

in retri sidestep repeatedly alludes to being a pet project of the scientists at the farm. yes, of course, that could be referring to the gates/whatever precisely happened after heartbreak, but i think it goes deeper than that. why waste resources on this one individual that keeps running away and fucking with you if you have the source dna and can start over, or if you have other test tube babies from the same batch, or whatever?

so like. do we know. for sure. that sidestep is a re-gene. do we know for sure that they weren't tattooed later in life, experimented on, and piles of trauma/farm scientist fuckery just knocked out their memories of their childhood?

anyway. *turns back to my conspiracy board*

#is this me wanting to be able to say i was right all along? yes. but also. somethings going on here. and this might as well be it.#is this potentially what half the fandom is already thinking? yeah maybe idk #do i 100% believe its true and would bet money on it? no.#am i putting it out there so i can reblog this post and say I TOLD YOU SO! if i turn out to be right? yes.#i have another conspiracy theory but. it starts getting into the territory of #it might be supremely embarrassing to share bc i dont know the state of theorycrafting #bc i am so new to this fandom #so it could be smth that is already explained by other theories or even like alluded to in the demo for rev and i just have no idea #bc ive been avoiding patreon/revelations stuff #fhr #fhr pt #kellan.txt

i got two replies out , woo . now i'm going to sleep .

#⚡ ⸺ ❝ moghome .

I had an awful thought so yk the theory that. MK is gonna lose an eye. And the exchange theme. Can you fucking imagine if MK doesn’t lose his eye in a typical warrior way like Macaque no no imagine he fucking loses it protecting somebody I’d fucking lose it

So instead of taking your loved one's eye you instead give up your eye for them. I like that

#*puts on clown wig* okay and here's my crack theory that I refuse to put in the main post #(since it relies on so many hypotheticals)#ANYWAYS #MK being related to the curse/underworld right.#And the curse itself is associated with eyes #So. After MK learns about his identity. He's supposed to ''gain'' eyes in a sense right #But if instead. He chooses to LOSE an eye.#Do you get where I'm going with this #It's like. Having all that power and yet still choosing to sacrifice for the people you care about #Because despite whatever MK is he's still a person and still loves and still cares.#It's that conflict of what fate says he is v.s. what he wants to be #The curse is one thing and he is another #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk MK #eamk theory #asks #solarartzz

i watched the chestnut man, deadwind, the valhalla murders and possibly one more i'm forgetting and the last semi similar show i'd seen mentioned was black spot. and i kept putting it off cause it was in french. no further comment.

but i finally sat down and watched it and honestly? i liked it more than i thought i would. i mean they introduced a gay man with a guinea pig that's nicknamed teddy bear. you got me sold there. but also people just kept dying. and surprise, it was murder. that was also murder. also murder happened here. look we'll kill someone on screen. oh boy, another murder! you're not going to believe this, murder. i liked that. they went in saying the crime rate was high in that town and they committed. y'all got a problem but damn. continue. tell me about the latest murder by all means.

#black spot #IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER SIMILAR REC PLEASE LET ME KNOW #i normally don't care about gore or murder whatsoever #but there was one scene in season two that had me cringing #and they didn't even show it visually #i was out here like nope. can't sit through this #i am guessing there's no season 3 though by the release date of 2019 #which is sad #because i think they had a lot of potential for another season #questions left unanswered! i mean i can take a guess and build my theories #but it's not the same as the show going here is how it all fits together :)

#sometimes i feel like my brain is disintegrating in my head. coming apart like a lump of paper in a pool of water #it comes with this weird feeling of vertigo. like i turn my head and my thoughts are spinning too fast. they keep going despite my standing #still. its also a but when you start drinking something and when u stop your thoughts r hazy and ur breathing is heavy #maybe thats not a universal experience. sometimes when i stop i realize ive slipped half out of my body #and now im stumbling from day to day trying desperately to remember all the things im supposed to be managing #but there are these big holes in my brain. like im missing chunks of grey matter. the bits that would let me stop and start things #i dunno. when im taking measurements i have this image of myself on my knees holding the fragrance pieces of my life together as they #crumble thru my fingers and my insides shrivle away from the walls that contain them. i go hollow like a gord #and ppl say oh ur so passionate abt what u do. and i go brittle bc it doesnt feel like passion it feels like the symptom of an illness #i dont care. im just trying to burn the hours away. make time vanish. and for what? what am i building toward? i have an answer that i give #interviewers but i dunno i never thought id make it this far. but here we r. unhappy and lacking in purpose. its just that this last year #was so weird bc about a year ago i burned out so hard that i never recovered and it just got worse and worse. i feel now that ive stopped #the bleeding at least but the bitterness is still there. still infecting my words and curving my spine around the injury #and in theory i understand the path to healing but its hard when im just so. i dont even kno. angry? im not mad but the word feels right #but i dunno what id be angry about. maybe im just sick of empty tasks and not caring. i used to have passion and enthusiasm now i just feel #fragile and hurt. bracing for pain. and that makes me so sad. i wish i could go out into the woods and wander. just breathe #but no. instead ill start another day identical to 100 others and hope to keep my head above the surface bc im sick of swallowing sea water #anyway. itll b fine. hopefully this week i can commit to a program. hopefully. another program halfway across the country. this time #vertically. landing me still 2 time zones from home. but hopefully there i can breathe a little. maybe. hopefully. well see #unrelated

LOL #purrs #literally like no one shows up to this stuff either it’s just insane like we spend all this time preparing and then no one shows up #at some point i have to be honest and say this. i love my job in theory. right now i do not love it though. i might not even like it. i am #scared and miserable and stressed all the time. i just want us to have enough staff and i just want us to have a break #im fucking tired of going unrecognized im fucking tired of being made fun of and hushed about. like the rest of these people fucking suck #honestly and idc if im a bitch or a loose canon for saying that. we are working so ficking hard and we need the BASIC things that everyone #else seems to have and it doesn’t fucking seem to matter. i literaly haven’t even been able to finish my fucking onboarding yet because #ive had to take on the work of all the vacant positions and it doesn’t even seem tofucking matter outside of us like everyone just thinks im #a student and i even got sneered at easier today as a joke but it s like it’s not fucking funny i work here JUST LIKE YOU!!!!!!

unfortunately i look extremely approachable for some reason and paired with this i think way too slow to keep up w new social situations + this is like art school and i cant plan how to act for this yet and now 3 times back to back already i have gone through the mortifying ordeal of having art student girls introduce themselves to me -> i out of habit introduce myself w my old name -> they ask for my art instagram -> i give it to them without thinking and then have to explain why my name is rohan on there

#ME. A MORON: YEAH UH WELL YOU SEE #fumbles the bag in 4 million different ways and ends up saying im trans just for them to go 'oh ok!' ALL THAT FOR NOTHING #hate it here #every time someone finds out they get all apologetic but like i dont even really care x__x id care more if u knew and did it on purpose #i dont hate my old name and i stuck with it 4 a while bc i didnt like anything else that fit enough to change it to something i felt-#better represented me outside of just meaning but also in gender yknow. and i still have to use old name w most ppl so like whatever #but then well i do my idiot antics and then everyone feels awkward bc they think they are like hate criming me JKNFMNJNFDK #i dont know how to exist like this. i am used to giving everyone my insta i dont use and being done with it #partially also bc thats like me sorting people into 'people i can be acquaintances with' and 'people i can be friends with'#i.e. people who i cant come out to and people i can. the former being the vast vast majority.#like i have not. ever ever in my life met another queer or trans person irl until literally yesterday.#WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE LMAOOO #in theory if none of these girls ever speak to me again i can start over and start dodging everyone until they prove themselves lmaooo #but if they are all okay with it then maybe its fine. who knowsss. not chancing it w the other muslim kids tho lmao #the gamer speaks uwu

mmm my favorite feature bout myself is my lack of ability to comfortably share how I'm feeling and without beating myself up for it later

#personal stuff in the tags here #but oh my god i hate my birthday so much #and when people ask why i only tell them half of it bc thats all i can explain without getting looks of pity or apologies #its fun in theory but then ppl start wishing me happy birthday and spending their time and money on me and i have to fight to keep a #straight face. i dont know if its stress or anxiety or what but i will start crying #i know that ppl close to me do it because they care but i just cant believe it. if you tell a stranger its your birthday theyll tell you #happy birthday. its not something personal. ive seen strangers get a small birthday gift for another stranger before or give them a #birthday discount.#i dont know where im going with this but ranting about it makes me feel better.#birthdays are cool. just...not if its mine #shut up arlo thats personal #enchanted dumbassery

#insane how listening to this just feels like hearing people speaking my own theories aloud #i feel like you could almost get this entire story just from studying them in get back #i find it so strange how hard john is to read to others like he is just so transparently needy and afraid of abandonment to me #in exactly the way they're explaining it here #maybe it's just because I've had close friendships with people just like him that i find it obvious? idk #anyways a great listen that makes tons of emotional sense for what happened between them to me #i share the opinion i have seen around that he probably had undiagnosed bpd #i can definitely sympathize with paul both for loving him and not wanting to lose him #and also maybe finding it overwhelming or frightening or not reciprocating it totally?#paul is still the harder one to read to me in terms of what he really wanted with john #i feel like john just wanted complete enmeshment with paul but paul maybe was a lot more torn and possibly a bit more healthy about it #hhhh it's still heartwrenching to think about no matter what #and it's one thing to sit and armchair diagnose it and be like yeah maybe john was a bit unhealthy emotionally about it all #and another to actually imagine how awful and hard going through all of that was #it's the MOST like artistically culturally significant codependent besties collab of modern times #so it's not like crazy of john to treasure it that much or be possessive about maintaining and strengthening that bond #who wouldn't?#i also have the sense that paul could be a bit of a flirt on purpose with john at times because he knew it had an effect on john #even if it also could have been more like leading him on than like actually indicating a real interest?#i feel like possibly it started as a real interest for paul but i dont know if it stayed one??#ahh not sure not sure but if that was the case i could see how it might make john feel crazy and hurt too #like paul always giving him what feel like mixed signals #and john knowing paul well enough to know that he's probably not totally oblivious to what he's doing #and how it could be sincerely messing with his head...#AND THEN i could definitely also see paul being a bit genuinely naive to his affect on john #and not totally aware of how much he actually did mean to john in return? because john always throws up smokescreens to protect himself #and says things he doesn't really mean when he's starting to feel too exposed #p #1968 #mclennon
