What about this note indicates they were chill? Hussie has always had a sort of contempt for the idea of shipping. The whole ectosibling thing and how that developed was in part a way to make fun of shipping. And then even moreso when Karkat draws the square chart telling Jade and Dave and John and Rose to get with each other.
I'm not sure why Davejade hold outs still think that they were cheated out of some amazing potential relationship, especially in light of that. It all feels very childish, like in a story about coming of age and leaving a past you can't return to it wouldn't really be themely if Dave hooked up with his childhood friend six years later at the end and had a white picket fence life just because they were cute together in a few chatlogs. It just feels like latching onto the first male character you see and the first female character you see and going "now kithth".
