#maggie's grandmother

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

A note from Neil on Maggie's record shop: The record shop was opened by Maggie's great-grandmother in the 1920s in a corner of Aziraphale's bookshop. (l think she was demorstrating the new-fangled gramophones, and he fell in love with the musical reproduction and realised he could listen to music without leaving his bookshop.) By the 1930s Aziraphale (who owns the buildings that his bookshop is above) offered her the shop next door because (a) it had come free and (b) too many people were corning into his bookshop to buy records. (The original 'Small Back Room' was in Aziraphale's shop.) The shop stayed in the family, and Maggie took it over when her father retired.

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.

Highway to Pail Day 2

[Day 1] [Next] @do-it-with-style-events

February 2: You can always trust someone who works at a music shop. They give sound advice.

Aziraphale had known dear Caroline for forty-five years, and he knew she was suspicious. Humans usually were, after about twenty or twenty-five years of acquaintance, and she was no mere acquaintance. To her credit and his relief, she kept her suspicions to herself, never so much as alluding to his corporation's failure to age a day while she herself grew from a confident young woman serving on the home front to a raucous grandmother and pillar of the community.

He also knew she was suspicious for another reason. A reason with beautiful red hair currently cut in an atrocious bowl cut, trying to get his long, delicate fingers on the only thing that could actually kill him. This was suspicion that he knew Caroline felt was well within her jurisdiction, as the unofficial denmother of Whickber Street. He was not really one of her charges, but as she had told him so many times, he was something close to family. And human families, he knew from millennia of living among them and hearing their stories, meddled in each others' romantic affairs.

Caroline and Crowley hadn't often met, but they'd pass each other on occasion, if Caroline closing up The Small Back Room coincided with Crowley coming round to the bookshop to collaborate on paperwork. Aziraphale had never introduced them, but Caroline had always been sharp as a tack. He'd been mentioning Crowley offhand to her for twenty years before they were reunited during the war, and the very first time she saw a red-haired man in a sharp suit enter the locked bookshop after curfew in 1943 and not come out again until morning, she'd cheekily gifted him a small cake and ribbed him gently about his night.

She referred to him as "your Crowley," when she spoke of him. It always made him feel a little warmer, even though it wasn't true. Crowley was Hell's, just as Aziraphale was Heaven's. What Crowley might want was irrelevant and what Aziraphale wanted was even less of a possible consideration.

Caroline had been the first person to ask him about Crowley's activities in Soho, a month ago. "Your Crowley," she had told him with raised eyebrows, "asked our Jenny if she knew anyone who could lever themselves down into a secure facility on a rope. She pointed him to the BDSM hall on Duck Lane." She rapped her knuckles on the desk. "What is he up to, Mr. Fell?"

He hadn't answered, but whatever look was on her face must have told her something, because she had just tsked at him a bit and said, "Whatever he's doing, Fell, he's going to get someone hurt. If this is about that fight you had that you talk about, the one before he left, it's best time to try to fix the root." She had winked. "And maybe that will keep him from leaving before dawn like he does. Everyone knows you've a flat upstairs; nobody needs to know there's only one bedroom in it."

Meddlesome old woman, his Caroline Service. Aziraphale adored her.

Aziraphale had asked around, of course; he knew already, but what he heard confirmed it. Crowley was planning to rob a church, get holy water.

Caroline was right. He had to get to the root of that fight in 1862, one hundred and five years before. Crowley had asked for the only weapon in Creation that could really hurt him. Did Aziraphale trust him with it?

Did Aziraphale trust Crowley with his life?

Well. That question had been answered in 1941, he had thought. But—

No, it hadn't been. Aziraphale trusted Crowley with Aziraphale's life, but that hadn't been the argument. The argument had been about whether Aziraphale trusted Crowley with Crowley's life.

He took his favorite flask, solid and leak-proof and decorated with his personal tartan, and headed to St. James' Park to gather some water from the duck pond to bless. If he was going to give Crowley a suicide pill, Aziraphale would at least make sure it was his own holiness that would kill Crowley, not the impersonal, clinical holiness of a Heaven that had already cast him out.

Another thing I adored about season 2 was the sort of mini tour around the local shops and businesses, the little community was so wonderful to see.

#good omens #crowley #aziraphale #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #it was so cute how aziraphale knew them all #and the way he knew Maggie’s grandmother but has to pretend it was his grandfather :’)

[awfuckward]

anyways idk if i believe the theory that maggie is like. being controlled/made up entirely by the metatron. but i do think the point about her misspelling urgency and not drinking were really pointedly made for like. nothing to be up w her.

and then the thing w her ‘grandma’ having the record shop and knowing aziraphale. im curious for sure.

#other stuff ive seen brought up about maggie i think its just. well maybe the writing/editting couldve been a bit tighter #but these. #i ALSO could see inviting the demons in being a thing but idk #good omens #.txt #i do think the nazi demons just got sucked back into hell. but what if………………………………….that was her grandmother. thats too much right. yeah. #i dont think the nazi zombies* are a loose thread but im just. hmmmm grandmother. probably just her not aging. But #she cant be an angel cos wouldnt they like sense that. idk. angel w memory wipe? idk

grrrrrrrrrr

#the homemade black salt i use thats my great grandmother's recipe and mom makes #its full of spices and is super tasty in itself i use it here because i can put it to any dish without using other spices #and the girl who takes away the maggi packets if you remember shamelessly just asked me for it #mom im scared #like i should've understood right when she asked me that day so its like a complete spice package right you can put it even in maggi #and i said so proudly yes!! you put it any dish i put it in maggi and it turns out tastiest #its just that im not going home anytime soon and the dabba is already less than 1/4 #:( #pair pe kulhaadi maar li lol #im scared when girls see your stuff and not only they ask you twice or thrice but make it a habit

that feel when something good finally happens after it rains shit for months...

#not fandom #holy hell #my grandmother paid off my credit card bill #which i ran up trying to save maggie #this is a huge weight off me #and i want to cry #i'm not used to my family helping me #though every once in a while #my grandmother helps out this way #that was a big ass bill #so i'm kind of in shock #i'm still devastated over maggie #so that bill was like adding insult to injury #but now it's gone #and i can breathe a little easier

Aether Chapter 19

I think once Maggie officially gets on board as a hero she should either decide to just not have a secret identity so she can wear her new/true face all the time without hiding behind her old scars, or she should craft a whole new identity for her personal life and let non-loved ones just assume her old self decided to become a hermit or has been put into a care home or something after the explosion or something. Just so she doesn't have to keep wearing her scars as a protective mask.

Maggie's grandparents are everyday heroes. No wonder Maggie is the kind of person to help however she can during an emergency even if its inconvenient for herself.

They are seriously awesome people and handled her whole "I have super powers and two job offers and a crush" conversation extremely well. Grandad in particular is a fucking champ for his "Red Coat didn't fail, he saved you" speech.

For all the bad things that have happened to her in her life, Maggie won the lottery on grandparents.

Hi! It might have already been asked, but I would like to know what you think about the "Maggie is a demon" theory.

I just found out that it's an actual theory, but have been suspecting it for some time. As we know, every little detail is important in the show. It was emphasized that demons are not good at spelling and the first scene we get in the show is Maggie misspelling the word "urgency". This is already suspicious.

Also, the fact that Maggie's great-grandmother knew Aziraphale's "grandfather". Coincidence? I don't think so.

What is your opinion on all of this?

Hiya! :) I don't think that Maggie is a demon as such. - um, I am not sure I understood the Also, the fact that Maggie's great-grandmother knew Aziraphale's "grandfather". Coincidence? - I mean, that is the lore, that Maggie's ancestor started her record shop in the corner of Aziraphale's bookshop and so met Aziraphale ('s grandfather) :).

However, while I don't think that Maggie herself has some dark secret, it would not suprise me if her great grandmother was a demon (running from Hell? falling in love with a human?)- and Aziraphale gave her asylum in his bookshop :).

Who knows :).

[forfuckssakejim]

okay but not like. in maggie's pov mr fell was really just the grandson of someone who new her great grandmother. and shes said she loved the shop since she was a baby, meaning she most likely grew up in the shop. but that also means that most likely, she known aziraphale her whole life????? And aziraphale has known her, her parents, her grandparents, and her great grandmother.

hell, he probably held her one day as he strolls into the record shop. She's only 3, and shes crying so loud Aziraphale can hear through the wall, so he goes to investigate. and there she is, in her mothers, (uhhhh lets call her jane) arms as she desperately attempts to rock and soothe her. and jane sees him come in, and begins apologizing profusely, that she has an ear infection and she couldn't leave her with the daycare center and Aziraphale is so sympathetic. and he just, asks if he can help her, that he's very good with children (not as good as crowley is, but good) and jane agrees, doesn't know what comes over her as she hands over maggie to him.

Aziraphale rocks her, whispering into her ear a small blessing that he totally over blesses (like the phone in edinburgh) her, she doesn't have more that a sore throat for the rest of her life. her ear ache goes away and she stops crying for the first time in days and jane is so thankful and Aziraphale just smiles and says it was no trouble at all.

And if he goes to leave and sees crowley smiling at him from the window then neither of them mention it.

There are so many posts about the weirdness around Nina and Maggie, but the thing that has always bothered me the most is that both of them know Aziraphale but neither one of them seems to know Crowley. Like, at ALL. Not even by sight. Which doesn’t make any sense. For the last four years, Crowley has basically been unemployed and homeless (this sentence made me so sad to type). He has had literally NOTHING to do except hang out at Aziraphale’s bookshop. And the vibe at the beginning of s2 is that he’s there a LOT. Like, multiple times per week (“we both get plenty of use out of it, don’t we”). When Aziraphale calls him in the first episode, he says “2 minutes” the way you tell your spouse how long until you’re home from the grocery store, especially if you were on your way home already.

The dialogue goes to great lengths to highlight that Nina and Maggie SHOULD know Crowley, which just heightens the weirdness of it. When they're at the pub, Crowley asks Aziraphale, “What’s wrong with the cafe?” (implying they usually go to the cafe), but Aziraphale made a point of introducing Crowley to Nina in the first episode. And Nina makes a point of saying to Maggie that she always remembers “the regulars," but she doesn't seem to remember Crowley. Of course, she immediately notices both Jim and Muriel outside the bookshop, so she's clearly paying attention to what's happening in the neighborhood and it seems like she couldn't have failed to spot him coming and going all the time.

And Maggie's situation is even weirder. Her whole back story is that she basically grew up IN the bookshop because her grandmother’s record store was essentially in a corner of the bookshop. And yet, when Maggie and Nina see Crowley on the street right before the lightning strike, Nina says, “Do you see that bloke? Six shots of espresso and he's smoking,” and Maggie responds, “I think that man was just struck by lightning.” Which is something you say about someone you’ve never laid eyes on before. She didn’t say, “Oh, that’s Mr. Fell’s friend,” or “I’ve seen him around. He stops by Mr. Fell’s shop a lot.” And then when he comes back, "It's him. The one who was just struck by lightning. The six shots of espresso." Again, no flash of recognition of anything before the current day. This happens immediately after she's just told Nina about knowing Aziraphale since she was little. It’s just weird. Why build a back story that would put her in extremely close proximity to Crowley LITERALLY her entire life and then write dialogue that makes it clear she's never laid eyes on him before?

You could maybe think, well they're just so used to having to hide...but then I asked myself: Does it make sense that the day that you find out there is an extremely dangerous, existence-threatening problem hiding out in your ineffable husband's bookshop is also the day that you would decide to STOP keeping a low profile and start wandering the streets with abandon, introducing yourself to all the local shopkeepers, and ferrying large plants into and out of said bookshop? No. No, it does not.

In any other show, you could assume that the writers just didn’t think about it very carefully. But, given the layers and layers of meaning and symbolism baked into every detail of this show, from the dialogue, to the costuming, the set design, lighting, blocking, etc., and the way that the story folds back on itself again and again, it just feels significant.

It has been a jam-packed summer so far and I want to catch you up. First and foremost, something very special happened in June. It was my Granny’s 90th birthday and she chose to spend it in Alberta with me. It was amazing to be able to get in some quality family time and make lifelong memories with her. She even got the royal treatment with a day on Heartland where she was a background performer at Maggie’s Diner. The day of her birthday we went on a beautiful ride – this is something we do every year when she visits – but this time was extra special because it was on the day of her 90th birthday. My horse Hawk, gentle as ever, took her gently through the grassy hills. We also had a very nice time at Spruce Meadows for a day of show jumping. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better time spent with her. Living so far away means we only see one another a couple times a year, but it also makes those times so meaningful.
