is that not only were the Shuggoths slaves of the Elder Things, but that they were like. designed to be Super Vulnerable to Telepathy, so that they could be commanded that way
which makes me really like the idea that like. fast forward 20 million years, the artic is iced over their masters are gone the deep ones don't really care about them, they're just vibing
anyway. Kujen is an Evil Wizard in the style of Joseph Curwen, only he's like a thousand years old and he's been doing body snatching since like the Tang dynasty
and Jedao One is somebody he has bound with magic for fun and evil magic experiments!!! and Jedao Two is a Shuggoth whom he has summoned or smth and uses for stuff!!! but J2 is sitting there like. absorbing J1's brainwaves of RESISTANCE and Kujen's knowledge of THIS IS HOW MAGIC WORKS
Jedao in canon, knowing shit is Weird and J1 died 400 years ago: I'm a clone, right? that makes sense. (that doesn't make any fucking sense clones are just twins. why do you remember his old school bff) please be a clone please just be a clone
okay the funniest thing in comics canon is maddie DOES get a few memories and mister mad science over here is just like, "that's how genetics work probably"
I was going to suggest "Jedao in Saiyuki", but Kira already said it best: Goku and Gojyo would be asking "can we keep him pleeeease?" while Hakkai and Sanzo go "no, now put it back where you found it".
sorry i had to
