it seems pretty widely accepted that jack-o is basically sol's girlfriend now and i know she said she loved him in strive but is there any direct evidence that he reciprocates that, i know he said he wants her to stick around but that doesn't strictly mean he's in love with her right?

To be honest, I think it's still too soon to really say just how much of her love Sol reciprocates. They're definitely at least living together at the end of Strive's main story, and Sol was 100% willing to let I-No blow up the fabric of reality itself to save Jack-O', but Sol risking utter destruction to save someone isn't anything new haha. The lyrics for Talk About You (from Strive's end credits) are very probably about Sol's feelings towards Aria/Jack-O' though, and that gives a lot of weight for them being in an equal romantic relationship. Though, I think the lyrics for this song could apply pretty well to Axl and Megumi/I-No too, which is really neat story telling, imo, writing a song that could potentially work for 4 different characters at once.

Other than it being too soon, I'm hesitant to say they're definitely "dating" despite the evidence because Guilty Gear's lore is wild and unpredictable and anything could happen next time we get lore for these two lmfao

Lyrics for Talk About You below the readmore (via the wiki)

Your hand touching me / What do you want to know? / It's just beautiful / Your eyes reflecting me / What do you wish for? / 'Cause I want to know you / So let's talk about you / Your arms holding me / What have you lost? / It's just beautiful / Your voice comes to me / Like crystal clear water / I never want to forget you / Ah, in the mists of time / I hope / If I could only stop one thing / Ah, I want to burn all of you / In my heart / So let's talk about you / Your smile's one-of-a-kind / And belongs to everyone! / It's just beautiful / Even in the cold rain / You dazzle and make me smile / It's just beautiful! / At long last / I figured it out / I live inside of you / The world with you / You forgive me / It's a world where I can be / Ah, in the mists of time / I hope / If I could only stop one thing / Ah, I want to burn all of you / In my heart / Talk about you! / Ah, in these fading feelings / I believe / If you can find one thing to hold on to / Ah, the world is right beside you / The world inside of little you is spreading endlessly / Your feet start to walk / What are you looking at? / It's just beautiful

#asks #queenofthepassion #GG's sappy songs like Talk About You and Blank are so good UGH #Tbh I don't mind if Sol and Jack-O' hook up but I really really really REALLY don't want the lore to suddenly be like #'They need to have a child now to continue the series since Sol isn't a Gear anymore' #I'll be so upsetti spaghetti. That's like my absolute least favorite trope of all time. It's NEVER done well #I literally cannot think of a single piece of media that does that where it doesn't get boring af #Every time that happens it's like the series wants you to instantly like the protag's kid just because they're related but in reality #It just like wipes the slate of all the lore that made the original protag interesting and has to build it all up again #Boooorrrriiiinnngggggg #I believe in GG though. It's had some rough patches in the lore but it's usually rough from being underdeveloped- #-and not from hackneyed or boring tropes imo
