My Favourite Thing About Portwell Is How They Literally Found Themselves Through Finding Each Other.

my favourite thing about portwell is how they literally found themselves through finding each other.

so s1 ej was obviously very selfish and didn't care how his actions effected others. we saw him acknowledge his flaws and try to repent, but he was still only doing it to make himself feel better and to improve his image. as soon as he develops feelings for gina, we can see him find the joy in doing things for other people just because you want them to be happy. he discovers his huge heart and realises that he would embarrass himself, go out of his way and change his plans to help gina.

s1 gina was so closed off and cold because she refused to get attached to anything and risk leaving it behind. she also always put herself first and didn't care about others. ej being so kind to her, but never expecting anything in return, slowly allowed her to open up and trust people again. she is being shown unconditional love for the first time in her life and it's allowed to become her most authentic self. by the end of s2 gina is so much more confident and sure in who she is. she's learned that she does not have to perfect to be worthy of love and she doesn't have to compete for it either.

the way they treat each other has allowed them both to trust people again, and be comfortable enough to be fully themselves.

If you ever want to talk: My tumblr ask is always open.

what if they confess their feelings and then someone talks to gina and mentions ej leaving and she gets insecure and think she's gonna have to let him go because it's the right person wrong time trope but then ej tells her hes staying in utah

i can definitely see that happening since as of right now, ej has not decided which college he’s going to, so it’ll be a surprise for gina to hear he’s staying close by.

Same energy.

Because I am DESPERATE to get Alyson Reed as Grandma Caswell….. let EJ and Ashlyn’s grandma run the theater camp (since her Broadway dreams got cut short) and the Caswell Cousins invite the drama club to the camp. And Grandma Caswell wants to put on a SUMMER MUSICALE (said in ms darbus’s voice ofc)

TIM!!! IF YOU ARE LISTENING!!! ALYSON REED AKA MS DARBUS AS GRANDMA CASWELL! I BEG!!!

she just gives off theater camp owner vibes

risotto night

i'm not sure if they will actually show the portwell date happening in the show, but if they did, here's how i think it should go:

location: fancy italian restaurant (because i don't think salt lake slices has risotto lmao)

ash helps gina get ready and she looks absolutely gorgeous. as she finishes up, the doorbell rings. ash runs to get the door. it's ej all dressed up. she starts squealing with happiness and motions for him to come in and sit down. she tells him how happy she is for both of them and warns him not to hurt her. just then, gina comes into the room. ej's face lights up and he stands to go to her. he tells her how beautiful she looks and hugs her. gina smiles fondly, ash standing behind them looking like a proud mother with a daughter. she jokingly tells them to be home by 11. they go out to ej's car.

at the restaurant, they sit in a corner by the window. the lights are dim and the walls are covered with vines and exposed brick to add to the ambiance. they order 2 bowls of risotto.

as they wait for their food, gina and ej reminisce all of their little moments together and gina expresses once again how grateful she is to have him. ej responds by saying that having her in his life makes him so much happier than he could've ever imagined.

as they leave the restaurant and drive back to ash's house, they talk about what a magical night this was and gush over the food. as gina is about to head out of the car, she says something along the lines of:

i'm still in shock that you remembered risotto night at north high and gives him a soft kiss on the cheek.

with a smile, ej says: you know i would never miss risotto night

now picture this, but with the something there instrumental playing in the background. boom.
