9 Best Soso & Poussey Moments On 'Orange Is The New Black'

Meet Lynchfield Penitentiary's It Couple

SoSo (Kimiko Glenn) and Poussey (Samira Wiley) gave us life during their time on Orange is the New Black.

It's almost impossible to pinpoint everything we love so much about them, but here are 9 times these two melted our hearts, and the reasons why.

1. Their overall cuteness

Look at them. Look at those pretty little faces. Those eyes, glistening with REAL, TRUE LOVE. The moment it started, we were on board.

2. All of that sweetness over Poussey’s Judy King obsession

Soso *definitely* messed up with that one. But the intention was so sweet. We’re not quite ready to forgive and forget, but we’ll definitely swoon at their heart eyes.

3. That time Poussey called Soso out for being, well, racist

Interracial couples really have to discuss race. There’s no way to avoid it. It’s different to be queer, and to be a queer person of color, and to be a white-passing QPOC.

4. The boombox scene. *SWOON*

Considering that this major Say Anything scene remains a top pop culture reference for the realest (and most romantic) of apologies, we would have had a hard time not listening to Soso and letting her apologize too, Poussey. And TG for the open and honest conversation that followed.

5. Every time the pair hooked up

If you didn’t burst into a series of tingles when our resident queer icon made Soso giggle (and, well, you know), you better go rewatch that scene and fangirl with us. Like, OMG. Is anything hotter — excluding, of course, season one Piper and Alex — than watching these beauties make sparks fly?

6. SoSo + Poussey’s friends = magic

They may not love Soso, but Poussey’s crew definitely supported her relationship, leading to some serious comedic moments. They're not afraid to call Soso out, and make sure she knows what dynamics exist. They have Poussey's back no matter what, and we're down with that.

7. When Poussey was what every new queer girl needs in a partner

Sexual fluidity, confusion over “how queer” we are, and self doubt are so real, and seeing Poussey comfort her pillow princess was a major shout out to how important it is that we be more open about these issues in our community, rather than shoving these women aside.

The library has always been Poussey’s spot, and though it hurts to watch her connection with Taystee fade out and be replaced by her romance with Soso, we couldn’t stop fawning over how cute the duo looked lazing around the library and just being in love.

9. When they said "I love you" for the first time

I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING. Yes, I cried, and yes I'm so into the idea of these sweet, thoughtful women learning more about themselves and each other through love. It's so beautiful, and our world is short on beauty.
