THE PUPPET x READER HCs
A/N: there is no spirit haunting the puppet here

GENERAL HEADCANONS:
Puppet gets along better with kids, teens, and young adults, and will go back in his box if someone over 25 tries to interact with him
I have always seen this piece of art as his human form (he only uses it when the pizzeria closes down or when he's allowed to go backstage with the other animatronics)
I HC puppet as bigenderfluid (identifying with male and agender), using he/it pronouns
Puppet sometimes annoys rude customers by forcing them to call him 'the puppet' instead of 'puppet'. He will correct them each time. Management cannot stop the sass (i'm tired that's the best sentence you're getting).
Puppet is one of the strongest animatronics, having telekinesis, telepathy, levitation, filukinesis, the ability to summon in anything inside a gift box, the ability to stop ones' organs, the ability to explode ones' head, and the ability to rip someone's soul out of their body
He doesn't really handle threats in the pizzeria because he considers doing so "overkill".
^ Management stopped pestering him the first time they had to clean up one of the nightguards. There was blood everywhere.
^ Now his job is to just alert the others in case of a minor threat
He is tall as hell, at 9"0; if he wasn't an animatronic, he'd have back issues with the amount of times he's had to crouch down to talk to teens (he has to sit on the ground to talk to kids) (yknow considering he's like hallway ceiling height i'm pretty sure he'd have back issues regardless)
He is 6"8 in human form
Puppet sees every animatronic in the location as family, being the closest to Mangle and Withered Golden Freddy, seeing them as siblings
His hands are barely functional, so he tends to use his strings to grab things and his telekinesis to lift things
DATING HEADCANONS:
Reader was a regular of Toy Freddy's Pizzeria who decided to become a nightguard
Due to being a regular, Toy Chica is chill with you
Since the puppet is highly respected (and feared) among all the other animatronics, none of them really try to mess with you (also add the fact that Withered Golden Freddy is one of Puppet's closest friends, and messing with you practically becomes a death wish)
His love languages are gift giving, quality time, and words of affirmation
Puppet likes dancing with you
He likes talking about music with you
He can be overprotective at times
He likes tying you up sometimes (in a romantically flirty way not a sexual way) (i mean if you want this HC to be NSFW go ahead, im just ace asf)
Puppet is very empathetic, and will be there for you when you need him
He sometimes breaks out of the pizzeria to come visit you (management can't stop him, and he knows it)
He likes listening to you talk about whatever
Puppet loves when you fall asleep against him
He doesn't like when you're not honest with him
