#eight is right though. jadus is unlike other sith he has no friends he's alone and he is looking for a tool

I think why Jadus and Eight's relationship compels me so much is this is the only iteration of anything mutual between two people who always tip the scales when it comes to power around others. They both looked at one another and went "I can manipulate this", "I can use him", and eventually, "he can stand by my side. more than a puppet ever will", when they've gone their entire lives sweeping the board with the amount of sway they have. Eight is too clever to be controlled by him. Jadus is too powerful to truly be used by anyone. They each have something the other wants that eventually turns into a powerful co-dependence that eliminates almost all cons for both parties. With anyone else, they would almost assuredly dominate the other.

They're also both system outliers that constantly break their bounds because they know the game so well that their only goal is to defy it and win- whether that means never truly being loyal to a side or committing straight treason.

Only they can see the future in each other's eyes, and it speaks of cataclysm.

#i can't fix him bc whatever is wrong with him is way funnier also I want to sic him like a dog on my enemies #the amount of balls you'd need to look at jadus and go i'm gonna curve him for my own ends. #eight is right though. jadus is unlike other sith he has no friends he's alone and he is looking for a tool #he is not expecting one who is not susceptible to his will #that back and forth game of trying to one up each other eventually turns into the realization that they can work together by choice #the idea of a non force user using their wits to best a force user unbelievably powerful is also very fun to me #is the empire not the bond between an imperial and their sith
