"friends dont look at friends that way" i DO look at my friends that way but im a special kind of freak so whats YOUR excuse
Nina and Maggie; Go Easy on Them PLEASE- FOR ME!!
It's always a bit bittersweet for me when I see people really go in on Nina and Maggies relationship, (as in the connection between two people, not as in a romanic pairing) complaining about their lack of chemistry and how they're bored of them and all that (Those opinions are valid of course if that is how you feel). I've screamed "Yes! That's the point!" in my bathroom, going absolutely feral on a day where the reigns Good Omens has on me was tighter than usual. Nina and Maggie aren't MEANT to have Chemistry (at least how I see it). They're not meant to be a couple, at least not right now! They've barely interacted all too much! To me, they're there to show a lesson to Aziraphale and Crowley: COMMUNICATION IS ALWAYS KEY! ALWAYS. Aziraphale and Crowley have known each other for THOUSANDS of years. Most of their interactions are not necessarily romantic, but their chemistry is suffocating. A good chunk of their lives had been spent on opposite sides, clashing against eachother, even though there's a 6000 year friendship simmering and ready to explode. But even after Eden, after the Globe Theatre, after Edinburgh, after Armegedidnt, they still don't TALK. They don't COMMUNICATE, just as Nina and Maggie said!!
Nina and Maggie barely knew eachother. Most of their interactions we see have been micromanaged and swayed by Aziraphale and Crowley, or just centered around the potential of them being a pair. Maggie bringing Nina the LP, The fucking "trapped together" trope happening when they're locked inside the coffee shop, The raining + canopy, the dancing, fighting demons together. But you can't even find their chemistry with a magnifying glass. It's not MEANT to be there! Again, the BARELY know eachother! But despite all that, they still found some time to talk between themeselves and PROPERLY communicate with eachother. They were able to iron out the wrinkles and now they have a wonderful foundation to build a friendship, and maybe something more! They're not meant to parallel Aziraphale and Crowley in the sense of "Oh, this is Aziracrow but lesbians!" no no no! That's not it my dear. They're meant to almost mirror them and show "even Nina and Maggie were able to come to an understanding after simply TALKING ONCE! Aziracrow could finally SEE and HEAR eachother if they actually sat down and properly spoke instead of wittering on all day about wines and such" (They almost did really! They were so close! They were right there!But then but then but THEN- *sobs* the final fifteen minutes...)
Anyways, THATS the lesson Nina and Maggie are meant to teach us (I believe)! They pretty much tell us this themselves but people seem to really not like them at all for lacking what they're not mean to have. Which is their exact purpose. Which I find funny! It feels like hating a car for having wheels instead of horse legs. Anyways! That's my two cents! I hope this didn't feel mean or whiney- BYE BYEEE MMMWAAH!
