I’m really frustrated by the misconceptions surrounding Abby’s character, particularly the claims that she would be aggressive or abusive, especially in bed. That’s so far from her true nature. Just because she has muscles doesn’t mean she’s aggressive or abusive. Abby is caring, considerate, and gentle. She would never harm her partner, not even in a million years.

Here’s my perspective on what I believe Abby would be like in bed:

I think Abby could get adventurous in bed if she wanted to and if her partner was into it, but for her, it’s all about intimacy. She values that closeness and connection, so even if things get a little wild, she’d make sure her partner feels comfortable and cared for. People often mislabel her as aggressive, but she’s the literal opposite of that. She’s much more about creating a deep bond and enjoying those intimate moments together.

I think Abby would typically prefer a slower, more gentle approach to sex. I get the sense that she favours using her fingers and mouth over toys because she wants to truly connect and feel her partner. That said, I’m not suggesting she wouldn’t be open to using toys; I just think that her focus would be on closeness and intimacy.

Abby embodies a warm and nurturing spirit, both in and out of the bedroom. Her strength lies not in aggression but in her ability to foster deep emotional connections and create an environment where both partners feel valued.

A glimpse into what Abby is like as a romantic partner.

⸻༺ ✿ ༻⸻༺ ✿ ༻⸻

♥︎ She never lets you overthink.

♥︎ She would never be the kind of partner to leave you lying awake at night, doubting your worthiness of love.

♥︎ Reassurance? You don’t have to ask for it. She instinctively offers you reassurance and support, especially when she senses you're being too hard on yourself. Having experienced the struggles of overthinking herself, she would never want you to endure that alone.

♥︎ Abby would move mountains just to see you happy. Her love is gentle, tender, and unwavering, always there to support you in both good times and bad. She listens with an open heart, understanding your struggles and celebrating your joys. Abby shows up for you.

♥︎ She understands your struggle with opening up all too well. When she senses you're facing an internal battle, she doesn’t pressure you to share. Instead, she gently reassures you that she’s there for you, that she’s got your back, and whenever you’re ready to talk, she’ll be there to listen.

♥︎ She never raises her voice in an argument, that’s simply not her way of doing things. She communicates calmly, and when you both find yourselves in a disagreement, she suggests taking a moment to breathe and gather your thoughts. The last thing she wants is to argue with the person she loves most.

♥︎ After an argument, she sits down with you to calmly resolve things. She makes it clear that even when you two bicker, it’s you against the problem, not against each other. Never against each other.

♥︎ Abby would never do anything to make you doubt her loyalty or love for you. She is deeply devoted to you, and her actions reflect that devotion. Being loved by her means you can rest easy at night, free from worries about not being good enough.

♥︎ She takes a genuine interest in your hobbies and passions. You could share the same topic with her a million times, and she listens with unwavering enthusiasm each time. Like I said, she’s hopelessly devoted to you.

♥︎ She’s your solid support, always protective and caring by nature. When she sees you’re having a tough time, her instinct to care kicks in even more. She’ll make it clear that she’s got your back, and even when you can’t find the words to express how you feel, she’ll just hold you close. With her arms around you, she creates a warm sense of home, letting you know that you’re never alone and that she’ll always be there to face anything together.

♥︎ Abby’s love is real, sincere, and loyal, the very bedrock of her being.

okay but like imagine laying between Abby’s thick, muscular thighs on the couch while she reads you a chapter from one of her favourite books, holding the book with one hand while using her other hand to gently run her fingers through your hair…

Stumbling upon a charming little bookstore in Hillcrest, instantly brought Abby to mind and her deep passion for reading. As I lingered there for a few moments, I found myself wondering if Abby had ever had the pleasure of exploring this hidden gem. I could easily picture her losing track of time, looking at all the different books waiting to be discovered, carefully selecting the perfect treasures to bring back with her to the stadium.

In the warm embrace of her favorite books, she finds a safe haven from the heavy world around her. Surrounded by feelings of loss and the weight of her world, these stories become her escape, taking her to places filled with hope and joy.

After a long day on patrol or completing the tasks assigned to her by Isaac, she turns to these pages to calm her mind and heart. On days when grief and sadness feel especially strong, the tales within help her forget her pain, offering comfort and peace. In the simple act of reading, she discovers not only a way to escape but also a joy that lifts her spirits and brightens her days.

She loves a wide range of books, from fantasy fiction that whisks her away to magical worlds, to historical fiction that brings the past to life, and even beautiful poems that touch her heart.

Oh, Abby, how deeply I wish I could gather every book in the world, all for you. I’d go to the ends of the earth just to see your sweet smile and know that you are happy.

Here’s a list of Abby’s books featured in the game:

[justanotherabbystan]

I haven’t seen many people talking about this, but it’s something I think about a lot. Remember Abby’s first day when Manny finds her asleep in the library? She’s reading ‘City of Thieves’ by David Benioff, and the main character in that book is named Lev. Then, later that same day, she meets Lev when he and Yara help her escape from the Seraphites. I can’t help but wonder if Abby ever thought about that little connection after meeting him. It’s such a wholesome little easter egg 😭

Episode two left me with so much to unpack, I'm not even sure where to start. I've been holding back my thoughts on the show for a while now, but this episode brought up some things that really bothered me. And while I understand this is an adaptation and not a direct remake, I still wanted to share my perspective.

• Why was Abby’s flashback cut short? I was hoping the show would have included the moment in Abby's flashback where she finds her father's body. In the game, that moment, especially her cries for him, is incredibly impactful and it shows the immense trauma she experienced. Including that scene in the show, I believe, would have deepened the audience's understanding of her tragedy.

• No Ellie and Dina smoking scene? The absence of that scene between Ellie and Dina feels like a missed opportunity in developing their personal connection. It's in that moment that Ellie finds the comfort and trust to reveal her bite mark to Dina. Even though Dina initially doubts her, this vulnerability shows the depth of Ellie's trust in Dina with such a big secret, something she's kept hidden from almost everyone.

• Why was Abby’s monologue so long in Joel’s death scene? Abby is a woman of few words; she shows, she doesn’t tell, and I’m sure that all of us die-hard Abby fans know that. I appreciate that she actually called out Joel for what he did, explicitly stating that he killed her father, which forces him to feel some degree of guilt, if he’s even capable of feeling guilt to begin with. It was about time someone held Joel accountable for his actions. In episode 1, Joel constantly acts as if he is innocent, pretending he didn’t murder hundreds of people in cold blood, and he maintains the facade of being a good man. I understand that he may have tried to redeem himself in his old age, but that doesn’t erase his past actions. I personally feel like it was very out of character for Abby to have so much dialogue in the tv show.

• Dina being sedated? What was that about? Yes, maybe they just wanted to highlight the fact that Mel is a medic, but was it really necessary for them to sedate her?

• Abby telling Mel, ‘if you don’t do it, I’m gonna smash her in the fuckin head’ ??? Umm, no. Abby wouldn’t say something like that. As I previously said, she is a woman of few words and never expressed a desire to hurt Ellie or Tommy in the game, in fact, she chose to let them live, so it was very out of character for tv show Abby to say that. That portrayal doesn’t sit right with me at all. Abby already faces so much unnecessary hate, let’s not make her seem like someone who finds joy in inflicting pain on others, yeah? Yes, Neil Druckmann and Craig Maizin, I’m talking about you.

• Please explain to me why Abby called Joel handsome TWICE. Once in the first episode, and another time in the second episode. What does that have to do with the story? It literally makes zero sense to me.

• This is what really made my blood boil. In the game, Abby is a strong, muscular woman who takes down infected and people with her bare fists. In the game, she kills Joel with a golf club, never even punching him once. But in the TV show, they portray Abby as a petite woman who starts punching Joel to death? It just doesn’t make sense. Neil has stated that Abby’s physique doesn’t play an important role in this version of the story, which is already infuriating considering that her muscularity in the game comes from years of training and pushing herself to her limits after her dad was killed. Then, they have TV show Abby punch Joel almost to death before stabbing him in the neck with a broken golf club. This doesn’t add up because, in the game, she never even broke the golf club despite her incredible strength. So how does TV show Abby manage to break it so easily?

• In the game, Abby is clearly conflicted after she kills Joel, and it’s evident that it doesn’t make her feel any better. Her nightmares continue, indicating that she doesn’t find solace in his death. It would have been nice to see the same remorse on Abby’s face in the TV show, emphasizing that she didn’t find joy in killing Joel, as many people claim she did.

These are just my opinions, and everyone has the right to their own.
