Soo, could Maggie be a demon?
Still can't get over that one scene where her wrong spelling is literally Pointed out.
You know. By Aziraphale. In the first scene post-prologue.
It is overshadowed heavily by this scene coming in right after the highly important pre-fall!Crowley bit, meaning the viewer is still distracted by it as to disregard this small piece of info.
But. You know that rule 'if a gun appears on screen, it will at some point fire'? Shows don't tend to use their limited and very expensive screentime to throw in random stuff?
Might be just a joke thrown in by Neil to confuse us, in which case, hi sir, good job *waves*. However, if you look at all we know about Maggie from the demon-theory view, there's a few more bits a pieces that seem to fit?
Aziraphale's miracle does not work on her - the most obvious one. Honestly dismissed it on the first few rewatches as 'I guess it's just the gae girl power of Spirit', however. I guess an angel would not be able to miracle-hypnotize a demon either?
The record shop originally used to be 'in a corner of Aziraphale's bookshop.' - which would mean she has already been 'invited in' and can walk into the store, unlike all the other demons.
Not that sort of a teenager - maybe she is just a human who was never a party girl. Maybe she's a demon who had a completely different sort of childhood and teenagehood experience?
'I had brothers.' - maybe just a normal fam? or maybe other demons or angels could be the 'brothers' she is referring to?
'I've spent my life being scared of things, I'm done being scared.' - may be just a shy girl living an antsy life, scared of making a move on the girl she fancies? Or. Might be a demon, hiding on Earth all this time, trying to live a life away from Hell and Heaven and choosing sides, just like Crowley. Having had enough of living her life in fear, just wanting to be herself, express her love for her crush freely, not having to spend every second worrying someone might come get her, now finally ready to face the other demons?
Anyway. Might have just a crazy theory here. Might be something more. We'll see in s03, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#good omens#maggie#either way looking forward to wherever this goes#maggie is such a cool character; human or not#doubt she would be some future evil leader of hell (although that would be fuuun; imagine finally having someone Competent for once#having been fooling aziraphale and crowley all these years; ready to make a move#pretending just like them in front of Shadwell that she is her own descendant#inviting the demons into the bookshop; disguising it as a human mistake)#would still rather bet it on her just being a shy demon though#(or a half demon? she says she 'loved the shop since she way a baby?' maybe it was the great grandma she mentions who was the full demon?#or having an affair with one?#or maybe she just went into hiding right after the fall and was lying about that bit)#she probably just never wanted to pick sides and be a pawn in the idiotic heaven-hell war#just living her own life; in hiding; in disguise as a human#crushing on her neighbour and all#finally having had Enough when the actual demons show up at her doorstep#ready to defend the life she built and her crush and her nice gae angelic landlord#also#there's this bit on her way to the ball; when the demons are following her#she almost looks as if she's about to turn around and confront them (makes kind of a weird facial expression there for a second)#but then Crowley comes in and interferes; and instead she just enters the bookshop#she might have been ready to go full demon face there#anyway#thank you for reading my essay about fictional things none of which will probably ever happen in the story but are still fun to think about#going to continue with my rewatches now because this season is just so much fun; I can't get enough of it#thank you mr. gaiman for messing with our minds; get ready for the next 4 years of more dumb theories
