I'm not really bothered by davejadekat but I do think there's a more elegant answer to having davejade, which is...javepeta. Since Davesprite and Jade have a comic-long romantic subplot that incorporates both of their characters and issues, and I think it's pretty sad that thoroughline has gone mostly ignored. I'll submit what I wrote about them @ you if only because I really think it's worth considering this angle insofar as thinking about Jade's arc in canon and why it went the way it went.

That’s a good ship too.
