For anyone who may be curious:
Some years ago I wrote a Jade and Neeta* fanfiction that turned into a novella. I changed the names, Jade to Amber, and Neeta to Nichole, just to cover my ass in case Watchtower came knocking with a cease and desist, and published it.
Nothing really happened to it for a while. I had it up for free on a few eBook sites and forgot about it.
Earlier this year I learned Amazon had been selling and promoting it, without giving me a dime in royalties since I had it as a free eBook. Every single sale of that book went right to Amazon.
I believe it's now off Amazon for good, as I've requested it removed from all eBook platforms to prevent this from happening again. The book is now available, in full and for free, on my website. Anyone can read it regardless of their status as a JW, I know many younger ones without independent bank accounts were concerned with PIMI** parents questioning the purchase of Jehovah's Forbidden Love Story, so I hope anyone who had concerns about that when finding the book on Amazon can now read it here.
Love ya guys ❤️ and happy holidays
*characters from a Jehovah's Witness series on recruiting cult members
**PIMI, meaning Physically In, Mentally In (currently practicing and believes in the religion.) Variations are PIMO, Physically In, Mentally Out (practicing the religion for the sake of maintaining familial relationships or other reasons, but doesn't believe in the religion anymore.) POMI Physically Out, Mentally In ( not practicing either by choice or by force through disfellowshipping, but still believes in the religion.) And POMO, Physically Out, Mentally Out (no longer practicing, has successfully left the cult behind.)

Thinking back to the time I was interviewed on an EXJW channel where I discussed the anti-watchtower comic book I wrote and mentioned my bisexuality and how difficult it was growing up in a homophobic religion, only for the comments section to be so filled with homophobic harassment the creator took the interview down.
I just can't comprehend how you'd leave a cult then openly harass others who have also left the same cult just because they're bisexual? Like how do you come to the conclusion that Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult but you still believe everything they told you about LGBT people being evil?

once upon a time, when I was in the process of calculating death stats, I was chatting with a friend about it and they asked me who the most innocent player in 3rd life was. an interesting question, but first we had to define what "innocence" was.
in the end, we decided that "innocence" was, more or less, "goodness." it was primarily based on whoever had the fewest kills, but to narrow things down further, other factors would be considered. did they ever try to kill people? were they loyal to their allies? did they steal? cheat? grief? who truly didn't deserve what happened to them?
according to that definition, the most innocent player in 3rd life was Jimmy. as you all know, he was also the first one out.
on to last life. Jimmy is out first again, yes, but someone actually narrowly beats him for the Most Innocent Player award.
it's Tango.
and then, in double life, the two of them are soulmates. it's as if the universe took the two players who would not play its game viciously enough, brutally enough, cruelly enough, and doomed them by giving them each other. it cursed them for their innocence because the life series is not meant to be a game of kindness and mercy. it is not a game of making vows with your ally. it is not a game of giving your life away to save others. it is a death match. and so, for their goodness, they will die first. together.

Your Honor, I miss them. A lot. (Not a ship post. I just really like their dynamic and would love to see them interact more)
(Close ups + a lyric analysis of a song I think fits their dynamic below)
They got that matching pfp potential 👀
Lyrics:
“This is just some trip that we are on. When the trip is over, we will think of this as someplace that we once belonged. When I find no comfort here, I’ll look again to find it in your arms. That is where I’ll dream a dream where I am you and you are me, and that’s where I know love.”
Song: “Endless Dream” by Conjure One
Tango and Jimmy barely knew each other before DL, but being soulbound, even if it was for shorter of a time than any other pair, connected them in a way that was so incredibly fulfilling for the both of them. Tango got to have a partner he could trust to not betray him, and Jimmy got to have a partner he could trust to trust him. And unlike a lot of the other pairs, they continue to refer to each other as “my rancher” and have a lot of affection based on DL that they refer back to. They each felt seen by the other, and even though they have their own friends in their own separate lives, they put a lot of value on that brief yet powerful mutual understanding.
Idk, man. I really like these two and would love to see more interactions with them.

No you don't get it I'm so unwell after this video. I feel like we just got a glimpse into their life together and I'm so happy and proud of them and that they feel comfortable enough to share even a little bit of their joy with us. They're just so happy and relaxed, just look at them, and it just feels so good to see queer joy especially in people I've followed and seen through so many stages of life. Like they were there for me at my worst and brought me so much joy and I'm so glad they found that too. They deserve the world. I hope they know how much we love them.
