Omg, who said people in their 30s or 40s can’t stan GLs? Because GIRL… what exactly do you call me then? 😂😭
And honestly, maybe this is exactly why LingOrm means so much to some of us older fans. And if you don’t stan LingOrm, that’s okay too, whoever your GL ship is, whoever makes you happy, this applies to you too. 💜
You’re all so lucky to be growing up in a time when you can watch women loving women and actually see them given the space to be the love story. To watch their chemistry, tenderness, longing, silly moments, and happiness without wondering if the story will suddenly push them aside for a heterosexual romance.
Because back in our time? GIRL. 😭 Most shows were overwhelmingly heterosexual, and finding a genuinely good girl × girl storyline felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. You took whatever little crumbs you could find and treasured them because you never knew when, or if you’d see anything like it again.
And that’s why people sometimes underestimate what not being seen actually felt like.
It wasn’t always someone saying, “Your love doesn’t belong here.”
Sometimes it was quieter.
It was watching romance after romance and rarely seeing two women get to be the center of the story.
It was rarely seeing women fall in love with women and simply being allowed all the things heterosexual couples were given on screen, the butterflies, flirting, awkwardness, jealousy, tenderness, domestic moments, heartbreak, and happy endings.
You learned to take the smallest moments and make them enough.
And then along comes LingOrm.
Two women who get the whole story.
They get the longing. The romance. The ridiculous moments. The heartbreak. The softness. The happiness.
They get to be the main characters.
And maybe that’s why I can look at Ling and Orm and feel more than, “Oh my God, they’re adorable.” 😂 There’s history behind that reaction.
There are years of searching. Years of watching from the sidelines. Years of accepting whatever tiny moment happened to come along.
So when I see LingOrm now, I don’t just see two beautiful women with incredible chemistry.
I see how far we’ve come.
And if LingOrm isn’t your ship, I hope you can feel that same joy with whoever your girls are. Because this isn’t about one pairing. It’s about finally having more stories where women loving women can exist openly, beautifully, and unapologetically.
So please don’t tell me I’m too old to stan GL. 😂 I’m already I am old you donhave to repeat it. I lived through the era when finding these stories was a struggle. I know exactly how special it is to have them now.
And don’t blame us if we see the connection between our favorite pairings too. We have eyes, feelings, and enough life experience to recognize when something makes our hearts go, ohhhhh, there it is. 😂
And let’s be VERY honest about the other advantage of being an adult fan:
ADULT MONEY. 💸🤣
If I had discovered LingOrm as a teenager, I would’ve been sitting in my room crying because I couldn’t afford half the things they endorse or sell.
Now? I have bills, responsibilities, questionable financial decisions, and apparently a bank account dedicated to supporting LingOrm. 😂
So yes.
I’m old.
I stan GL.
I adore LingOrm.
I will scream about them on the internet.
And yes, I will happily spend my hard-earned adult money supporting them.
We spent years looking for ourselves in the margins. Now we get to watch LingOrm, or whichever women make your heart happy, take up the whole frame.
And after all those years?
Yeah. We’re going to enjoy every damn second of it. 🥹💜
