Which of the Shelby brothers would be the most into causing his s/o pain for his own pleasure? 😈
I miss read the question first and was close to write a whole thing just about Michael, but he is their cousin and not a Shelby, but a Grey XD
Now I will include just Arthur, Tommy, John and Finn in this ranking. Dom scale goes up to 5.
Arthur hates violence so much and he hates himself for being the person to hurt others... So I doubt he would cause his s/o pain fo his own pleasure. He would feel so ashamed and guilty just for hurting his soulmate on accident. I give him a 0 on the dom scale.
Tommy doesn't seem like the person to actually hit his s/o, because there are many scenes were others, mostly women, hit him and punch him and slap him and he barely slaps back.... Because he knows he is an asshole and he thinks he deserves it. It he would be at least a little sadistic, he would use the opportunity. He might be in for spanking or something but for me... he is more on the sub kind of the bdsm spectrum.... which doesn't mean he is a twink. He just doesn't enjoy violence (not like Michael does) I give him a 2 on the dom scale.
Finn is insecure, but we all started somewhere, eh? I think he could enjoy choking or slapping his soulmate for his own pleasure, but he would have to get used to it. After a while, he would be much more comfortable with that. Also he pretty much loses his cinnamon bun vibe in season 5 and seems more bratty, more cocky over all. And sometimes the meanst doms are the person you would expect the least. With the right partner, he could develope a passion for the devine pain! 3 on the dom scale.
Now... I might have picked John to "win" this thing, because I have way too many headcanons about him being a good dom and switcher. Outside of the bedroom, he is a total softie. His soulmate is his best friend and he loves to spend time with the person and they would discuss everything and anything. Even if it's just who is bathing the baby. But when it comes to sex, John loves games and he loves somebody to play with. Just being dom would be to boring for him, but when he is the one in charge... oh my god, he shows... no mercy, that cocky bastard. Deep, deep in his mind he loves to see his soulmate bruised, crying, with hair and make-up undone and to know he is the reason why... is just the cherry on top. Of course, he would hate to see his soulmate being fucked up by somebody else. It's his play toy and he doesn't share and is protective and possessive as fuck. At first he was scared, he would go too far one day, but being so good at communication with his partner makes it easy for him to say within a safe realm. However, the sounds S/o make, when he is stricking with a cane... that's heaven. 4 on the dom scale, because he is a switcher and still has a soft part and safe words are important to him.
The only person in pb even more fucked up than him, has got to be dear Michael. He is the 5 on dom scale, but like I said right at the beginning, he is not a shelby brother.
Soooo. John, he is the shelby brother who would enjoy his s/o pain for his own pleasure the most.
If somebody wants me to elaborate on Michael being a dom, send in another ask 🌹
