Oh, I think Jon started out a bottom. Took it to like a zen like place. I mean, I've met bottoms like Jon, they started so young, have seen it all, no kink trips them, and very few hard limits, though that doesn't necessarily mean they are fond of some things. Occasionally, though, they switch and take in another sub. Someone who is struggling and frenetic and maybe a little too green to entice a decent top and much too innocent to get wrapped up with someone not so decent. Someone who needs a little patience, polish. Jon-as-public-service top is what I am talking about. yeah.
I feel you on the craving experience, it fits. Also, and I didn't get this into my list, but I can see Brendon not just craving but amplifying his experiences with his willingness to embrace with his entirety whatever is being demanded of him. To wholesale donate his surrender at the first hint that it might be requested. He wants to feel things so fully, won't stand to let any part of himself be kept back.
Oh, I agree with you on Pete, I haven't really gotten into FOB in bandom, relatively new and sort of wrapped up in my chem and panic, so I've read no fic, and only seen them incidentally on tv or whatever, but even a casual observer, I think, would wonder if Pete isn't on a self-destructive path if his masochism isn't channeled productively. He makes me think of people I've know too, and how others in the scene stay the hell away because that is a train wreck if not handled properly, and there are other pursuits aplenty readily available and much more easily had. Still, I read the chat fic you linked, and I think that would be a fantastic piece - because oh, the measure of devotion already earned that would multiply if Patrick took the time to care and persevere through Pete's haphazardly assembled emotional walls. I'd picture lots of sensory deprivation and cocooning to calm him and then introducing acute physical stimuli (oh, sensation cremes, you little minxes you) to get him out of his head and into his body. Pete would be expecting intense pain, long sessions with bullwhips and canes, IDK, maybe knives, and that would work on the physical level, but it wouldn't even touch the mental needs, and Patrick would figure that out pretty quick.
Okay, so Spencer topping Ryan? I think could easily go to a place similar to what you wrote for the meme...which by the way f'in fantastic...except Ryan would be much more subtle and less fumbling than Brendon in his machinations, but oh, our cunning top hero Spencer would be SO on to him.
Re: Anyone/Brendon but probably Jon. Or Patrick.
