Status: OUT! IT'S OUT NOW! RAHHHHHH GO READ IT PLEASE! IT'S JUST STARTING!!!
Knives and targets, blood and tears. A Shadow, a chameleon in the crowds of the nobles, a hundred identities, a hundred faces. But he knows only one name as his own, Puppet. That’s what she calls him. The woman who owns his every thought. Lady Eilene Hallon. Her wish is his movement, her life is his breath. Not a person, but a possession. 026. The Northwing Facility’s newest weapon. And as long as 026 can remember, that’s all he’s ever been. A life lived in a ditch, the constant taste of blood and lingering agony of Eilene's rage. Pulling himself back to his feet, alone.
Raised since childhood for the scope of a gun, 026 should know better than to feel remorse for his prey. After all, that's all they are. Prey. But the blood on the walls and the screams for mercy haunt him, his only semblance of freedom found in high nights and Dreary mornings. Everything slowly goes from bad, to worse as 026 begins to lose his grip on everything that kept him sane. Until he fails. His target leaves alive. And Eilene is furious.
Tortured for half the evening and left to die, 026 accepted that he would, ready to meet the darkness with one last sigh, anything would be better than this. Until he wakes up, temporarily blind with a couple dozen broken bones in a place he doesn't recognize and people he doesn't trust.
Eve, the farmer's daughter who fished him out of the alleyway and hauled him home. Cole, the easily-excitable little boy with a lot of questions and an empty space in his life for a protector. Iris, the matriarch and the watcher who waits for 026 to prove himself to her. Lucian, the friendly church book-keeper and retired Therapist. And the Watchful eyes of a God 026 never believed in, whispering that his life has a purpose, and it's not his time to die just yet.

Small Sev is cute. Also, you can braid thread around his radius and ulna and around his tibia and fibula and then attach the long trailing ends of the thread on either side (elbow/wrist and knee/ankle) to one of those puppet cross thingies*, and then you have a Sev puppet! You can make him dance, or wave. Actually for the waving you might want to thread a thread through his metacarpals as well.
Small Sev gets cold easily. But if you summon a single palmful of fire it’s the equivalent of a full-sized hearth, so you can let him relax by the fireside when he’s tired.
Small Sev can be carried even more easily than normal-sized Sev! A proper little doll. <3
A bathtub is large enough for small Sev to go swimming in. Yay! It’s also large enough to hold him under very easily. Therefore, do not let Jiri around small Sev and a bathtub unsupervised.
Give small Sev big treats. A single fig is the size of his head, so cut it into little fine slices and put it on a little plate for him. Why? Because it’s cute.
Be careful with small Sev. He doesn’t have a lot of blood and tools leave larger injuries.
Small Sev can sit on your shoulder. If you’re worried about taking him outside that way, put a little harness on him to make sure he doesn’t fall off or get stolen. Then you can take small Sev to the marketplace with you.
Small Sev has a fast metabolism. This means he needs food and drink more regularly. He also heals faster.
Do not give small Sev to dogs. They might recognise him for the chewtoy he is.
*I have now learnt that it’s called a control bar.
Only this time, I'm thinking about supernatural puppet whump.
It doesn't really matter what Whumper is, demon, deity, whatever it may be. They are manipulating Whumpee's limbs without their input. Just completely stripping them of their own autonomy. It doesn't matter if they're sore or tired- Whumper wants them moving.
Think of all the things you can force a Whumpee to do, only this time, they are physically incapable of resisting, while still being fully conscious and aware.
Whumper could make them hurt themself. Watch them panic as their arm move in its own to boiling water or an open fire. Twisting themself into a stress position and popping their own joints out of the socket. Completely helpless to stop.
Alternatively, make them hurt Caretaker. Crying and apologizing as they unwillingly drill a knife into their loved one's stomach. Quiet reassurances that it's okay through repressed groans.
Whumper finding a fairy in their house, so with the help of a fly trap they capture them.Instead of either killing them or selling them, whumper decides to keep them.
They tie string around their limbs and tear off their wings, turning them into a living puppet. When they’re not being played with, they’re kept in a jar somewhere on the shelf.
They only do this to be cruel.
Due to neglecting that whumpee is even a living being, slowly whumpee starves to death. But with the last of their magic they place a curse on whumper: That the next time they fell asleep and woke up, they would turn into a fairy.

As fun as mind control is, I'm thinking more literal. Turn your whumpee into a marinette.
Tie (or sew) strings around their wrists and ankles.
Paralyze them. Break every bone in their body. Or just beat them to the point where every little movement is agony. No matter the method, immobilize them.
Then tug on their strings.
Force them to stand on broken bones.
Manipulate their arms and legs any way you want.
And oh the sheer humiliation and dehumanization of it.
Force the whumpee to "preform"
In front of the caretaker, perhaps?
If the whumpee is defiant, they'll struggle, move in the opposite direction the strings beckon them. Will they be able to break free ? That's up to you.
If they're broken- whumpee might go limp. Just let whatever the whumper is about do happen.
Maybe the whumpee willingly moves their body the way the whumper wants, just because the tugging is less than pleasant
