Yeah, well, I know that you start early on Thursdays so I thought I’d bring you some coffee.
Here are five of the gayest moments shared between Dani and Jamie in The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Number one: Dani trying to woo Jamie with terrible coffee.
Making coffee for someone isn’t usually a big deal…
unless you get up at 6am just hoping to run into them in the kitchen.
This is exactly what au pair Dani does for gardener Jamie when she starts to fall for her.
You might like it.
Cheers.
I’m not the best at coffee either.
While Dani’s coffee doesn’t have the desired effect, her adorable attempts at flirting do.
I like you. But I also like my life the way it is.
Nice and boring.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to disrupt that.
Got to keep things proper boring, haven’t we?
My heart is positively melting.
Number two: Dani and Jamie’s first kiss.
It’s no secret that Dani deals with her fair share of ghosts on the show.
During a very poignant scene, she opens up about being haunted by her fiancee’s death -
which happened just after she called off their wedding
because she realised that she’s a lesbian.
We were engaged, and he died.
He died, and I, uh…
I, sometimes, I… it’s like…
I see him.
Jamie listens intently, even cracking a joke to get Dani to smile.
Oi, dead boyfriend!
Give it up mate, it’s over!
Then Dani gives in to her desires, and the two share a passionate kiss.
I know what it feels like.
It feels like you can’t find your–
It’s heartwarming and emotional,
and impossible not to feel the love that’s already blooming between the two women.
Number three: the moonflower scene.
Jamie takes Dani out to her favourite spot in the gardens of Bly - the moonflower bushes.
In three weeks, this entire plant will be dead.
And in the spring, I’ll have to plant a whole new moonflower.
That’s a lot of work for a flower that only blooms once.
That’s what people feel like to me.
Exhaustive effort, very little to show for it.
It’s the first real chance we get to see beneath the gardener’s tough exterior,
and Dani is visibly touched by Jamie’s openness.
Sometimes, once in a blue goddamn moon, I guess...
Someone, like this moonflower, just might be worth the effort.
Number four: Jamie tells Dani she’s in love with her.
One year after leaving Bly, Dani and Jamie are now living together and have opened a flower shop.
Is that a moonflower?
Yeah.
They’re really rare, you know.
Jamie then makes things even gayer with an adorable speech
where she professes her love for Dani.
I’ve got a problem.
Or, rather, we’ve got a problem, Poppins.
Oh, no.
You see, I’m not sick of you.
At all.
I’m actually pretty in love with you, it turns out.
Number five: Dani proposes to Jamie.
Our list wouldn’t be complete without this beautiful moment.
What happened there, then?
Found it on the street. Wanted to save it.
Well, there’s your problem. Your roots have been...
As fans of the show will know, this scene is one of the most heart-wrenching
because Dani doesn’t know how long she has left until the ghost that’s possessing her will take over her body.
But, however long she does have left, she wants to spend that time with Jamie as her wife.
Dani, why is there a–
Here’s the thing.
You are my best friend, and the love of my life.
And I don’t know much time we have left,
but however much it is, I want to spend it with you.
So, if this doesn’t make you want to watch The Haunting of Bly Manor, I don’t know what will.
After all, it is perfectly splendid.
