Portwell Spin Hug

portwell spin hug

seriously manifesting a portwell spin hug after east high hopefully wins the menkies:

they're at the awards ceremony and it's down to just 2 schools: north high and east high. the actors are standing on stage when the judge walks out to the podium.

and the winner of the menkies is... EAST HIGH

all of the actors and the students who are sitting in the audience begin to cheer. the camera cuts to a close up of gina and ej as he takes her in his arms and spins her around while confetti rains down on them.

one can dream, right :D

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💜

JORDAN FRICKING FISHER IS PLAYING GINA’S BROTHER I LOVE IT

so close to writing a portwell au where gina is a poet who lives in a secluded english town and ej is a world famous singer escaping the media. does that make sense? it's totally random :D

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.
