so like has anyone else noticed this lady making serious hearteyes for Abby during the first ghost bust because
god damn lady
@amtrak12 we were JUST discussing this!!
I love this moment this woman was so into Abby oh my gosh now I want fics where instead of thirsty af fangirls for Holtz everyone is there for Abby omg can you even imagine sweet oblivious abby being like oh there’s such an influx of activity and patty being like no abby these women just want you someone give it to me please
“Whoa.”
Abby stopped in place on the sidewalk and took in the crowd. It wasn’t uncommon for them to walk out of a bust to a flock of curious observers or even the police holding back lines if someone called them in to help, but this… this was different.
“Whoa, what?” Erin said from just a step behind. Then, she saw the crowd too. “Oh.”
Dozens of people had circled out front waiting for them to come out. They were cheering now and shouting their names – well, one name. The same name that was repeated across many of the signs being held up and shook in the air.
“Abby!” “Abby, we love you!” “Hi, Abby! Oh my god!”
Abby stared. “Ummmm….”
“Oh, yeah,” Holtz said stepping up to her other side. The ghost trap still smoked in her hand.
“Whoa,” Patty said as she came outside too. “Did we get a fan club?” Then, she corrected, “Did Abby get a fan club?”
The people in the crowd were all women. They were all different ages, but they were definitely all women. Abby felt some relief at that, but she was still utterly perplexed. “What are they doing?”
“They think you’re hot,” Holtz told her.
“They do not.”
“Yo,” Patty said, “that sign literally says ‘I think you’re hot.”
“Okay,” Abby huffed, as her cheeks grew warm. “Can we just load up the car, please?”
Erin still looked distracted by the screaming crowd but at least she and Holtz were following Abby to the car.
“That’s my friend!” Patty yelled back to the crowd. She finally walked over to the car and patted Abby on the back. “Get it, Abby!”
Abby’s blush grew hotter as she shrugged her off. “Okay, knock it off.”
Patty loaded her proton pack into the back and then climbed into the car still grinning and chuckling. Abby took one last look at the crowd before she climbed in too.
Nah. Patty was mistaken. This was just a new wave of enthusiasts discovering the joys of the paranormal sciences.
Yeah, Abby’s sure that’s what this was really about.
Ok but do you all realize how jarring and unsettling this would be for poor Abby? She’s a fat girl. And we fat girls are told our entire lives that there is no way we can be attractive. Sure….maybe we’ll be a kink for one or two people, and maybe someone will love our personality enough that they’re willing to ignore the fact that our body is repulsive….but no one will ever find us straight-up physically attractive.
So to Abby, a group of fans that finds her hot would just shut down her processing centers. It would be straight up “error 404: the-idea-that-people-find-me-hot not found”.
I’m speaking from experience here. That’s how it works.
