EJ Asking Gina Out For Risotto Is SUCH A Fanfic Move And I L O V E It. Also The Not That I Know Of Line?

EJ asking Gina out for risotto is SUCH a fanfic move and I L O V E it. Also the not that I know of line? Like the writers went above and beyond with the parallels, tropes and references for portwell. And no one can convince me that it's not for a reason.

no, because same, for sure :D

if i wake up tomorrow and find out “something there”has nothing to do with portwell, all hell will break loose.

OMG, ok, here is how i picture the interaction between ej and jamie:

since i'm not sure if jamie knows about portwell, ej notices that gina is talking to him and then afterwards goes up and introduces himself.

jamie mentions that he is gina's brother and then ej starts gushing about how amazing she is at everything. jamie notices and says with a smile you like her don't you? ej blushes and says a lot.

he then tells ej how lucky gina is to have him and mentions what a good guy he is, patting him on the back.

bonus that i can't quite fit in the episode but hope happens anyways: jamie finds gina before leaving and tells her you did a good job with ej or something along the lines of that and she is just left staring at him in shock.

idk if this makes sense, but i just know that the scene between them with be adorable.

seize the day

one of my favorite things about portwell is the foreshadowing from the older episodes. i'm not sure if this makes any sense and it is a bit of a stretch but i've been thinking about the connection between the situation in 2x10 and the career day speech in 2x08.

this could all be a total coincidence but in 2x08, "seize the day" is mentioned twice:

1. when ej and gina were being adorable, he mentioned that during career day, the speakers usually tell them to seize the day, and then let it go and asked her what she thought it meant

2. after giving his son the duke sweatshirt and announcing that he got in, ej's father asked the class if they knew the meaning of the phrase seize the day

in 2x10, both ej and gina were nervous about falling in love because of past heartbreaks/misinterpretations, ej with nini and gina with ricky. despite his fears however, ej got the courage to ask her out.

another way to look at it would be like seizing the day. he realized that maybe it's time to take control and look past rejection. to make the most of it. similarly to what carlos said, whatever happened with a girl in the past doesn't mean that the future should be defined by it.

i have absolutely no idea when my life became watching portwell edits until past midnight and obsessing over a fictional ship but here we are. can’t say i’m mad about it.

It’s the cast’s observations of Portwell flirting for me (!!!)

Nini: “Did I see you and EJ giggling at the pizza place?”

Ashlyn: “I have some questions in the same general area.”

Kourtney: “Uh, you sure?” in reply to Gina downplaying it.

Carlos: “When he isn’t making eyes at my co-choreographer.” and “But does that mean you’re going to let the next girl go without even trying?”

THEY’RE IN LOVE, THEY’RE IN LOVE, AND THEY DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!!!!!
