From memes to detailed math and physics calculations, every social media site and media outlet has been reeling into this rom-com-coded situation that is only serving as a hype machine for the much anticipated game (and reunion). Even though most of the people are rooting for this couple to have their moment, there are a few vocal detractors that are using this conversation to congregate around conspiracy theories about the celebrities.

Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing.” showing everyone why he’s simply the best.
