No Thoughts, Just They Way Ej And Gina Talk About Each Other:

no thoughts, just they way ej and gina talk about each other:

he was really sweet over the break, and he kind of saved me

yes, she is the best

you're gina porter. you don't need luck

i see one of the bravest people i know

when i think of you, i see the guy who bought me a plane ticket back to east high so i could be a part of the show. a guy whose birthday video for carlos made everybody cry

i see someone who tries really hard to do the right thing

well, you're glowing. remind me to hire you to throw me a birthday party.

the only people in the world

there are so many moments where it seems as though ej and gina are under a spotlight and everyone can see them but they don't care and just enjoy the moment:

- gina thanking ej for the plane ticket while the show continues on stage

- laughing shamelessly in class not caring about the other students and teacher

- gina giving ej dance tips before gaston

- ej staring at gina while mr. mazzara asked him a question

- putting their arms around each other while the north high guy stares

- ej's face when gina joins the video call

- talking about each other to their friends in the sweetest way

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.

portwell x something there

soo since i literally cannot wait to see if something there will be portwell related, i wanna connect the lyrics of the song to some of their moments. i'm like 99.9% sure that this has been done before and isn't a new thing so yea.

There's something sweet, and almost kind But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined And now he's dear, and so unsure I wonder why I didn't see it there before

since this verse is supposed to be from gina's perspective, it might refer to the change that she sees in ej from season 1 going into season 2. i think back to how ej was portrayed as a villain and used as an obstacle for both rini and nini. despite his struggles, he became much more open not only to himself, but also to his friends.

She glanced this way, I thought I saw And when we touched, she didn't shudder at my paw No, it can't be, I'll just ignore But then she's never looked at me that way before

the entire verse absolutely screams heart eyes. cue portwell lovingly staring at eachother:

1. carlos's quinceañero

2. north high lookout

3. during career day sitting close to eachother

4. the couch convo

5. airport scene

6. right after gina thanked him for the plane ticket

7. the videochat with the others and at the airport

i absolutely love the line she didn't shudder at my paw because it could be so easy for gina to just reject ej's sweet gestures (like a metaphorical paw) and see him only as the guy in season 1. instead, she's so warm towards him. that's not only called love, but also deep affection and care. i also feel like the line has the meaning that despite their differences (like belle being a human and the beast a mix of animals), they are willing to work together and understand eachother. ex. ej asking gina to describe moving around a lot and gina not not relating to ej having his life planned out.

New, and a bit alarming Who'd have ever thought that this could be? True, that he's no Prince Charming But there's something in him that I simply didn't see

while they have some nice moments in season 1, i feel as though ej and gina have only just now started to realize their feelings for each other and how immense they actually are. i love true, that he's no prince charming because it kinda goes back to the couch scene in 2x08 when gina acknowledges that although he fails a lot, ej keeps on trying to be better.

i also love how in 2x09, gina admits that things may be different between her and ej, something that she’s never seen before.

you: *makes that “everyday” portwell post*

me: i legally must follow

omg, that's so sweet thank you so much, you honestly made my day😭

i absolutely adore your blog and it just makes me so happy ever single time, i love it💜

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.
