The first topic (#1) shows a "post favorite picture of the person above", but there is NOT a topic above from which to choose a favorite picture, because this topic is the FIRST topic at the TOP of the topic page.
The second topic below the first (#2) shows a "post favorite .... etc." referring to the post that asks the same for which there is no possibility for there to be a beginning, since BOTH ARE the beginning, ... hence the conundrum.
Rose asked: How can you do the favorite of the person "below" as you don't know who that person will be if they haven't posted yet? Confuzeled!
ANSWER: It makes about as much sense as doing the favorite person "above", when there is NOT such a person above, because the topic asking IS the first, where NOTHING else can possibly be above it.
