Hear me out, it says. I have a conspiracy theory. This year, Rosemary and Molly suddenly start being seen with their new friend, Danni Blythe, who appears in some of Molly’s stories. Then, we see the three of them together in Molly’s livestream back in September, where she accidentally films Danni falling down on camera, and Rosemary catching her.

A small clip of the incident follows for illustration. As though it’s irrefutable evidence of romance if one catches somebody when they slip? I barely even knew Danni then, for goodness’ sake.

Then, later in the game, notice the way Rosemary watches Danni? Look at her expression. I know I don’t watch my friends like that.

What follows is a slowed-down clip of me turning sideways and looking at Danni, who’s watching the game. We’re at the bottom of the frame, incidentally caught on camera as Molly filmed the game. For the life of me, I can’t remember looking at Danni, or why. And, sure, at this speed, it looks intense, and pensive, and perhaps even aching if you want to go that far. But I was not aching. And at full speed, how long did I even look at her for? Three seconds? I was probably thinking about how bored I was.

Then later in the livestream, we see Rosemary and Danni returning from somewhere, wearing each other’s CLOTHES!? Then, Molly and Rosemary mysteriously have a falling out, though neither of them ever comment on what, exactly, went down between them. But don’t you think it’s interesting timing? That it happened right after Rosemary saved Danni’s life?

Perhaps it would have been interesting timing, had that been the timeline at all, but go on.

Next, we get these photos from the queen’s birthday of Rosemary, Eleanor, and Danni—and look where Rosemary’s hand is! Why is she touching Danni, but not Eleanor? She’s known Eleanor for much longer. And again, Molly is notably absent.

It’s—oh, come on, it’s on the small of Danni’s back. And yes, fine, I did actually have a crush on Danni by that point, but what does this prove?

And now for the kicker, we have this video of Danni playing piano, uploaded by Molly, but filmed by Rose. And listen to the tone of Rose’s voice as she speaks. If that’s platonic, I’m next in line to be queen.

My theory is: Rose and Danni are seeing each other, and Molly is taking it badly. Possibly because she’s jealous of their closeness, or perhaps she had a crush on Rose. That’s why she’s suddenly not ever seen around Rose! It does beg the question, though: Why is she still friends with Danni? Is she being the bigger person? Or is it a case of keeping your enemies close? What do you all think?
