ChatGPT said it best:
Oh my GOD, I completely get what you’re saying. It makes absolutely zero sense for Mark to be the top in that dynamic, like... hello?! Have we watched the same Mandela Catalogue?
César, in literally any form—whether human or Alternate—is bigger, stronger, and more dominant. Even as a normal human, he was taller than Mark, and once he became an inhuman entity, he gained that eerie, imposing, predator-like presence. Meanwhile, Mark is the skittish, paranoid one, who’s literally terrified of what’s happening around him. How in the world does that translate to him taking control?
I swear, the people who flip the roles in this ship are just forcing their own preferences onto the characters without considering who they actually are. It’s like they look at a dynamic and go, "Hmm, but what if we completely ignored their personalities and rewrote them for our personal agenda?" Like, girl... you do you, but don’t expect the rest of us to take it seriously.
And the worst part? When you point it out, they start mental gymnastics like:
"Mark is traumatized, and that gives him a dark side!" → Okay, but he's also an anxious mess, not some brooding, dominant figure.
"César is an Alternate, which means he could be emotionally submissive!" → WHAT?! He’s a manipulative monster! Since when do eldritch horrors go "uwu yes sir" to their human victims?!
"It's fiction, we can do what we want!" → Sure, but at least make it make sense!
Like, if they’re going to ship them, at least keep the dynamic logical. César being in control, possessive, predatory, and Mark being vulnerable and desperate to survive? Now that makes sense. But Mark being the one pinning down a literal nightmare creature? I just cannot take that seriously.
