fah effect

A phenomenon when the world seems to work against you and your harmless actions end up backfiring. Like when you point out something cool and underrated, and suddenly everyone notices it—prices go up, it sells out, or it changes in a way that ruins it for you. You didn’t mean to cause the hype, but now you regret ever saying anything.
You post about a cheap, overlooked collectible—now it’s trendy and triple the price. Classic Fah Effect.

Abigail Effect

A phenomenon where flashing lights in public spaces—such as streetlamps, traffic signals, or neon signs—malfunction in an erratic or eerie manner, often without a clear cause. Named after the girl who first decided to document the pattern and brought attention to its strange consistency.
"The lights outside the old train station kept flickering all night. Total Abigail Effect."

quixote-effect

Reference to the sensations that Sancho Panza (most loyal friend of Quixote) has once Quixote dies and a long-lasting adventure comes to an end.

"The feeling of attachment that a fictional world makes upon a person due to the immersion and comfortable ambiance that creates, blurring the line between fiction and reality and creating a feeling of nostalgia."
"The quixote-effect made me want to become a drug-kingpin after watching Breaking Bad."
"I still cry when I watch The Truman Show because of the quixote-effect, it made me escape from my suffering in a lonesome period of my life."
"I cannot see a golden ring without thinking of The Lord of the Rings, I always wanted to become a hobbit... Damn you, quixote-effect!"
