Feel like this is a dumb question but what's the difference between shigesato and Satoshige?? I'm assuming it's a dynamic thing but I don't know for sure and I've been seeing people talk about both
HI!! it's nice seeing you here too!! It's not a dumb question dw (I'm gonna turn this into a yap session),
ALOT of people don't know how the order of the ship name matter, but yes it is about dynamics and who's more assertive or not. Basically that top/bottom thing (in that order.). but it doesn't HAVE to be sexual.

Shigesato: It has Shigeru(Gary) being more "assertive/dominant/top" one in the relationship while Satoshi(Ash) is the "submissive/bottom." one. This is the more common one.
—I personally think this makes more sense FOR ME since Gary is like.. a confident, smug, arrogant and smart guy who prefers having/taking control and is more composed than Ash.. but he has his soft moments because he's not fully a dickhead
I imagine that in the relationship Gary likes all type of affection, he loves guiding Ash in a way and although rarely, he is the type to do BIG gifts. (Ash loves it but gets flustered at times. "You didn't have to do that." Type.)
——
While Ash is a more passive guy, he can be pouty, confident and competitive at times but he mostly doesn't care who's in control in the relationship. It just so happens that Gary prefers to be the assertive one so, Ash let's it be since he doesn't mind.
I imagine that he loves pyshical affection and he's very CASUAL bout it. (Gary loves how simple and easy it comes.)

Satoshige: It has Ash being the Assertive/dominant/top while Gary is the "Submissive/bottom."
—I personally don't like this ship as FOR ME, it mischaracterizes them quite a bit. Making a generalization here, but from what I've seen, alot of Satoshige shippers highlight or even exaggerate Gary's reserved softer side and Ash's loud and destructive side to the point it's... Ehhhh..
It's a good ship! But it could be portrayed much better and more character accurate.
Honeslty this also applies to Satgou or even Dekubaku aswell
I could explain this better but I'm busy rn so 💔💔💔😓
Never realized it at all 😐
I never thought r like different...
