EJ deserved so much better.

#i’m saying this as a rina shipper #he lost his girlfriend twice #he wasn’t truly integrated into the wildcats friend group #he tried so hard to make everyone happy in s3 and lost everything but val #his dad couldnt even say he was proud of him #and then hes kicked to the curb in s4 because hes in college now #hell he and gina didnt even get to stay friends despite the strong friendship they had before #i appreciate how they expanded on his and rickys friendship in s4 #but its just for the sake of rickys development and thats such an injustice to his character #hsmtmts s5 #hsmtmts #ej caswell #gina porter #ricky bowen #rina #portwell

i know there's friends to lovers and enemies to lovers but dang it if i don't love exes to lovers.

#it's my jam #the angst #the history #robin x marian #mikita #michael x nikita #nikita x michael #portwell #hehe bring them back #idk i'm always a sucker for that depth #kalijah #datherine #who else am i missing? #marcel x rebekah #sally x poseidon #omg how could i forget #persuasion #anne x wentworth #captain wentworth #it's the longing #it's the pining #its the regret #it's the familiarity #and the intimacy and vulnerability that feels wrong

ej says to val "i'm only doing this right now because you're leaving early" when he calls his dad. he says "i need some moral support."

so you're telling me he had to make the call prematurely because he didn't feel there was a single other person who could morally support him through this? not his cousin who he's had these kind of conversations with before, not his ex girlfriend who was shown to be a source of strength and support for him, not a single one of his friends from school would be willing or able?

he had to squeeze such an important call in before she left because she was the only one really on his side.

tl;dr ej deserves so much better.

HSMTMTS S3E7 Rant

RANT Ahead!

Why are we treating Kourtney’s anxiety and EJ’s anxiety SO differently?

Kourtney’s worried about bombing on stage, she gets a literal chorus of supportive sisters to help her climb the literal and metaphorical wall.

EJ is worried about his ENTIRE LIFE imploding, and he gets snarky comments from Ricky about how everyone knows he’s stressed, Carlos (who knows the stress of putting on a show) telling him to “just do it at night,” and literally NO ONE just taking the damn script away at the prom. Gina knew exactly where to find him after the last dance, why didn’t she go look for him DURING it? Where is the close relationship he and Ashlyn have had for years? Why is his arc just about “wow, he’s fucking up everywhere”? 

YES, EJ made mistakes. YES, he’s terrible at reaching out and asking for help. So was Kourtney. But she got support, and EJ didn’t. And I think Kourtney DESERVED the help! But why didn’t EJ?

To be clear, this isn’t about the Portwell breakup. I think Gina has some very valid points about them being in different places and feeling unsure about the future, and all those feelings are incredibly valid and real. I think they came a bit out of nowhere and wish we’d been actually addressing those issues all season instead of these GIGANTIC external factors that they keep dropping onto this couple, so it felt a bit unearned, but that part isn’t the problematic part for me.

I CAN’T get behind the way the narrative has treated EJ and diminished what HIS experience of anxiety has been time and time again.

It feels like a very gendered lens on mental health, honestly, and I’m not here for it.

Why would you ever ship EJ with Val? I legitimately just don't understand it...

I mean instead you could be shipping him with Ricky

Or shipping him with Gina

Or shipping him with Ricky

Or shipping him with an OC played by Kit Connor

Or, and you'll be shocked by this one, shipping him with Ricky.

Just a thought...and also maybe some foreshadowing for a WIP.

take me back to season 2 portwell bc let me remind you all of this absolutely adorable moment:

the way she’s looking at ej from the stage and he’s looking back at her in such awe too he looks so proud of her stop they were so in love oh my god they make me go insane

#hsmtmts #portwell #gina porter #ej caswell #extremely ​unpopular opinion but s2 is my comfort season #not just bc of pw but bc of it’s vibe in general and it was also when i started watching hsmtmts so it mean a lot to me #however i would love it even more if maddox jet & emmy were in it

[starrrbakerrr]

Because this moment's really all we have.
