i can die happy knowing i have the same nose as abby, now she just needs to give me a baby so i can pass on our genetics

i am so obsessed with this woman

Can we please stop comparing Abby's body to male bodies? It's kinda fucking gross. Thanks.

I hate this for her. I hate this for all my friends in the gym who face this daily.

Abby is a woman. Yes, a very muscular woman. But she has a vagina. She has feminine traits, too. She doesn't talk like a man. She doesn't act like a man. She does not, I repeat, does not look like a man.

The fact that this keeps happening is exactly why we need more muscular women in media.

Album dropping in 2025. 🤣

Growing tired of the toxic/abusive Abby headcanons

──

I truly don't think Abby has it in her. Not in any timeline, not in any version of herself.

Abby is strong, yes — physically intimidating even- but her strength is protective, never oppressive. She's hyper aware of the power she carries in her body and in her presence, and she's especially careful with the people she loves.

In fact, Abby's worst fear might be becoming a person who could hurt someone she loves. If she even thought she'd made you feel unsafe — emotionally or physically — it would wreck her. She'd spiral into shame, shut down, go quiet for days. She's the type to overcorrect into gentleness because she never wants her strength to feel like a weapon.

She might snap at someone if she's deeply overwhelmed or panicked, especially in a moment of fear or high emotion. But even then, it's reactive — never controlling, never cruel. And she always circles back to take accountability.

What Abby might do instead:

Withdraw. When she's upset, she shuts down. Goes quiet, distant. Not to punish— but because she doesn't know how to process it without accidentally hurting someone. This could feel like rejection if you didn't understand it, but it's self-protective, not abusive.

Internalize. She won't talk about what's wrong, even when she's hurting. She takes on too much, blames herself for things she can't control, and sometimes tries to "handle" things alone instead of leaning on others. This could cause tension — but again, it comes from love, not malice.

More than anything, Abby turns her intensity inward. She's her own harshest critic, especially if she thinks she's failed in her role, it devastates her.

In a relationship with her, built on deep emotional trust and so much care — there's no room for abuse. Disagreements? Of course. Miscommunications? Sometimes. But anything even resembling abuse would be the antithesis of who Abby is.

let’s unfuck the narrative please. ༝༚༝༚

Your humpday reminder: Abby could bench press Joel and still have room for more plates.

This woman could drag this snowmobile back to camp if she wanted. Strap some skids to her boots and she becomes the damn snowmobile.

But Abby Anderson would never, ever physically abuse you in an intimate relationship, and frankly, seeing so many fics like that makes my stomach churn. It's one of the reasons I don't scroll the works on here anymore. It's genuinely heartbreaking and triggering, as a survivor of domestic abuse.

Abby sees a painting of dogs playing cards and her neurons ignite like a Molotov cocktail.

If she had a catch phrase, it would literally be, "Will stop for shiny coins."

She'd be the only character in TLOU to leave you love notes in a bottle, floating in the bathroom sink that say adorably corny stuff like, I'm in the gym. Come kiss me at once.

Just because she's powerfully built, doesn't mean she wouldn't be gentle with you.

And I'm not saying that she can't be written into consensual kink play. I'm not talking about silly hyperbole. But I am saying it's not healthy to want Abby to harm you physically and emotionally, and to assume just because she's strong, she would.

You deserve safe love, sweet gays. Please remember that.

abby anderson they could never make me hate you

abby anderson’s music taste

aside from what people may assume, abby actually canonically is a really huge fan of classical music and jazz! combining that with her quiet, introspective personality and the emotional depth she hides beneath the surface, i think she’d be drawn to modern artists who feel soulful, instrumental, and emotionally grounded. music that sits with you rather than demands your attention, and probably a bit niche rather than mainstream.

here are some modern artists i think abby would like:

Laufey, Ólafur Arnalds / Nils Frahm, Hiatus Kaiyote, H.E.R, Daniel Caesar, Norah Jones, Jorja Smith, Faye Webster, Leon Bridges, Hozier, Frank Ocean, Cigarettes After Sex, The Neighbourhood, The Marías, Agnes Obel, Mitski, Brent Faiyaz, Florence + The Machine, Phoebe Bridgers, Yebba, Deftones, Chelsea Wolfe

Do you think Abby's mother had died or left them? what's your headcanon on that? Just curious :)

i love this question!! i think about it a lot.

i personally think she passed during childbirth or when abby was reallyyy young, like under the age of 2. i say that because there’s no photos of her with them and jerry + abby don’t talk about her at all. i would like to think that even if abby’s mom and jerry had some type of relationship issue she wouldn’t just up and leave abby’s life. if she was a firefly as well, she could have very easily been shot in combat, but being bit or getting sick is also a possibility! all i know is that abby and jerry have been attached at the hip for pretty much her whole life, he was her best friend. so that leads me to believe it’s been just them for a long time. i don’t have a definitive answer but that’s just my interpretation, i always love hearing other ideas too :)

i’m not sure if you’ve seen it already but in case anyone reading this hasn’t, i did an analysis on how abby growing up without a mom would have affected her and shaped her into the person she is 🫶🏼 linked here

This is for those who claim Abby couldn't achieve such muscle definition without steroids. Have you actually played the game? The WLF stadium features a large gym equipped with a variety of training equipment, along with ample access to protein. It's absolutely possible for her to attain that level of fitness! 💪🏻

I’ll be posting more photo modes soon!
