You know, we all make jokes about Sol/Frederick and Jack-O'/Aria being married (myself included), but they never actually refer to Aria as Frederick's wife in Begin (or anywhere else, afaik) and definitely not with Jack-O' anywhere.

I think the closest they got with Aria has been 恋人 (koibito; lover/boyfriend/girlfriend), which was kinda tricky to render in English when it was used gender neutrally. I ended up translating it as "partner" at least once for the Begin translation.

#textpost #I don't think saying they're married is bad just that it's an interesting point I haven't seen anyone mention before #It makes me wonder if maybe they would've gotten married if the Gear cell research thing didn't go sideways #But since Aria was apparently terminally ill maybe they decided not to?#We also don't know very much about how the culture of the world changed post-Dawn of Revival #Since they were in America maybe it would've been just a simple court marriage instead of a big elaborate one #I can't see either of them being into something that flamboyant haha Especially not Frederick #But I don't think we know how long they had been dating either? I'd have to double check that #Frederick got torn tf up for like 100+ years over what happened to Aria though so I'm gonna assume they were together for a while #I'm very interested in that period of GG lore between the years 2000 to 2016 (Dawn of Revival and the events of Begin)#What's the other thing you can do in the US besides marriage? A civil partnership? Maybe they had something like that #Since Frederick/Sol is based on Freddie Mercury so much maybe if Sol is also Parsi then maybe their marriage would've been-#-something related to that culture or perhaps blended with Aria's?#I don't know very much about Parsi culture but must cultures have something similar to a marriage or partnership bonding ceremony-#-so I'm sure it does too #Anyway it's kind of fun to think about!!#Ah typos in the tags... I'm on mobile and can't edit them. RIP
