I hate how much Nina and Maggie mirror Aziraohalw and Crowley
Not the way it seems, though. Nina, sarcastic as she is, doesn't equal Crowley, and Maggie isn't like Aziraphale. It's the opposite.
The hopeless romantic whose fawning over someone their unable to have, who plays songs that remind them of their love (who they're convinced hates them). The one who promises to wait, to stay, just in case.
And the one trapped in a vicious, controlling relationship. The one who desperately wants to get out, even though they don't know it. The one hesitant to spend time with their love, for the fear of it. And, the one who is trying so hard to change.
Nina and Maggie did it. Crowley and Aziraphale can do it too.
Also how horney are Az and Crowley in Job's era like jesus, get a room.

I keep running this over in my head, and I can’t get rid of it so…….
Aziraphale seems upset when Maggie talks about packing up and leaving the record shop due to her owing him many months of rent. He takes the responsibility off her and puts it onto himself saying, “it’s my fault for not collecting the rent.”
Maggie’s great-grandmother had the first record shop in the corner of Aziraphales “grandfathers” shop.
Maggie tells Nina she “wasn’t that type of teenager,” when Nina is talking about how they used to party and now go to bed at 10pm.
Maggie refuses alcohol, stating she “didn’t like the taste.” And tells Nina “no judgment” when she drinks the wine.
This is where my head keeps saying……..”What?”
When Aziraphale is in Maggie’s record shop and we hear the trumpets sound because of the Archangels coming, Aziraphale says “oh no, that’s not good at all, they’re here, can’t you feel them?”
I never thought much about these things until I realized Aziraphale is asking a HUMAN (?) “can’t you feel them?”
Why would Aziraphale ask a HUMAN if they could feel them? Who is Maggie’s great-grandmother? We KNOW Aziraphale is the grandfather, just like when Shadwell tells Crowley he looks just like his father and Crowley says, “so I’ve been told.”
Questions, questions. I have questions.

I hope it turns out that Maggie is "just" a human. I hope it turns out that there is absolutely nothing supernatural or occult or celestial or whatnot about her, fuck, I hope it turns out it's NINA instead.
Fuck, I'm trying very hard not to be frustrated and upset, but I am. I am because it's been over a month and people are still taking Maggie's clearly neurodivergent, and more specifically autistic, behaviour and twist it into "oh look no normal human is like this she's so creepy she must be a demon or an angel" like are you LISTENING to yourselves?
YES she talks differently sometimes, yes she's emotional, yes she did ONE FUCKING SPELLING MISTAKE while she was literally sobbing her eyes out. People are like that, you know. People that don't drink and that didn't go to parties and don't socialize well exist. I'm that person.
I had absolutely ZERO thoughts about Maggie being a celestial because to me, she isn't weird. There is nothing off about her. She's like me, I felt SEEN, I felt recognized and acknowledged.
The worst part is that people LOVE headcanoning Muriel or Aziraphale or Crowley as autistic but as soon as it's not something people can either infantilize or twist into something else, they hate it. Muriel gets praised for the same traits that have people calling Maggie a villain.
Can we stop doing that? Can we stop taking people who are weird or visibly disabled or different and shoving them into the non-human box? Do you have any idea how dehumanizing that is for people who are like those characters?
We had canonically non-binary characters this season that are human, so why, and please fucking tell me WHY, is it impossible in your minds to have disabled humans around? Why does anyone slightly weird have to be a supernatural being?
Just because Maggie's behaviour isn't played off as a joke? Because she is allowed to be a middle-aged, lesbian autistic woman? Because you cannot infantilize her like you can with Muriel?
Please tell me because I don't fucking know.
