Controlling

Diamond is particularly sensitive about how a person controls it2. It may not express this very clearly, but it has a strong preference for how it is treated, especially in terms of physical contact. Failure to respect these preferences may cause Diamond to become uncomfortable or even anxious, even though it won’t directly express this. For more information, see the section Boundaries.

States of Control

Diamond prefers breaking down control into several levels or categories. Each level differs from the previous one in terms of how blank and empty Diamond feels and how much control the person has over it2. These categories are as follows.

Alert

Diamond is in a normal state of mind. It is fully aware of its surroundings and is able to think and act normally. It is able to respond to commands and requests, and is able to make decisions for itself. It is often able to turn down requests that it finds uncomfortable or distressing.

Dazed

Diamond is in a slightly dazed state. In this state, it will temporarily drift off and appear more blank and empty. It may be less aware of its surroundings.

• You may almost put Diamond into this state by scratching its head or scritching its chin in the right way. For more information, see the section on Petting and Scratching.
• You may also try to snap your fingers in front of Diamond’s face. For more information, see the section on Finger Snapping.
• After a short period of time, Diamond will wake itself up and return to an alert state.

Blank

Diamond is in a blank state. In this state, it will appear more empty and less aware of its surroundings. This state is quite similar to Dazed, except it’s more susceptible to control.

• Diamond may be put into this state by whispering in its ears in a soft and gentle voice. For more information, see the section on Whispering.
• Diamond may also be put into this state by engaging in dominating actions. For more information, see the section on Dominating Actions.
• After a longer period of time, Diamond will wake itself up and return to an alert state, although it will be easier to put it2 back into a blank state.

Submissive

Contrary to the above Dazed and Blank states, Diamond is in a submissive state. In this state, it will express strong urges to please and serve others. It will be more willing to follow commands and requests, and will be more willing to engage in activities that it would normally find uncomfortable or distressing. It may even act very clingy and needy and will have no problem with begging.

• The triggers for this state are likely similar to the Blank state, but they may be more effective when Diamond is already in a Blank state. Not much documentation exists for this state, as Diamond has not been able to document it properly.

Not much is known about other states or levels beyond Submissive. Diamond may have other states that it has not yet been able to document.

Triggers

Diamond is aware of several triggers that may put it2 into a Dazed, Blank or Submissive state. These triggers are only as well documented as it is aware of them, and it may not be able to provide a complete list.

Petting and Scratching

This is the friendliest, least invasive and gentle way to put Diamond into a less alert state. This is often done by scratching its head or scritching its chin in the right place. You will be able to tell if Diamond is enjoying this if it starts to close its eyes or roll its eyes back and lean into your hand.

Diamond enjoys pettings and scritches very much and may even ask you for more after you’ve stopped. It may even nuzzle your hand or arm to ask for more. Once it’s comfortable with you, it may also ask you to pet it2 from time to time.

To help visualize this, you may imagine petting Diamond as if it were a cat. You may even spoil it2 by petting it2 in other places and toying with it2.

Finger Snapping

By snapping your fingers in front of Diamond’s face, you may be able to put it2 slightly deeper into a Dazed state. Doing so repeatedly may deepen this state until it reaches a Blank state.

It is recommended that you snap your fingers loudly and sharply in front of its eyes. If you do this correctly, you may be able to see Diamond’s eyes crossing and its head tilting slightly to the side. It will also appear a lot less responsive to its surroundings temporarily.

You may want to pay attention to how much you snap your fingers, as doing it too often or too loudly may cause Diamond to become uncomfortable or anxious, but doing it too little or too softly may not have any effect or may even cause it2 to become more alert.

It is often useful to combine this with other triggers, such as Petting and Scratching or Whispering. Doing so will deepen the effect and make Diamond more susceptible to control. You may also try to snap your fingers even when Diamond is already in a Dazed or Blank state or rapidly bring it2 in and out of this state (a technique known as Fractionation).

Call Bells

Diamond is call bell-trained. When you ring a call bell in front of or near it2, it will respond to the sound of the bell by entering the Dazed state and going over to the bell, often subconsciously. If you repeatedly ring the bell, it will go deeper into the Blank state, often becoming more submissive and needy with its tongue sticking out and it2 appearing very empty and confused.

In this state, it will become more susceptible to suggestions and commands. To effectively use this trigger to your advantage, you can use the call bell to summon Diamond over to your place and give it2 pettings or command it2 to do something.

You may also move the call bell close to Diamond’s ears and ring them repeatedly to put it2 into the Blank state, then use other triggers to deepen the effect. This can be especially useful when you want to put Diamond into a Submissive state and control it2 more effectively with less resistance.

Please be aware that in public places such as restaurants, there may be other call bells that Diamond will accidentally respond to, either subtly or very obviously. You should always be aware of this and make sure that it is not disturbed by the sound of the bell when it happens.

Training

Diamond loves to be trained and conditioned by others. By training Diamond, you can teach it2 to respond to certain triggers or commands in a certain way.

An example of this is training Diamond to respond to a clicker or a bell. By doing this, you can condition Diamond to associate the sound of the clicker or bell with a reward, such as a treat, a petting or a praise. You can then use this to reward Diamond for following commands or requests.

You may also try to associate certain triggers with certain behaviors or actions. For example, you may try to associate the sound of a finger snap with Diamond becoming more submissive or dazed. Even though this association may already exist, you may try to deepen it by training Diamond more.

Restraining

Being restrained or tied up may put Diamond in a semi-Submissive state. It may beg for you to go harder or ask you to restrain it2 more. Diamond enjoys being looked at like a pretty decoration or a toy, especially when it is restrained.

When you’re first restraining Diamond, you should start with light restraints, such as a collar or a leash. You may then move on to more heavy restraints, such as handcuffs or ankle cuffs. You may also ask Diamond for bondage ropes if you are able to tie it2 up properly.

If you’re using bondage ropes, it may ask you to tie it2 up tightly or even ask you if it could wear the ropes as a fashion accessory. She may also ask you to take her out in public while she is restrained.

If you choose to restrain Diamond, you should always consider its safety and make sure that it is comfortable with the restraints. You should also make sure that you have a way to release Diamond if it becomes uncomfortable or anxious.

Sexual Activities

Upon sexual arousal, Diamond may become more submissive, needy and open to suggestions. Not much more will be documented here to protect Diamond’s privacy.

Boundaries

Diamond has several boundaries that you should respect when you are controlling it. Not respecting those boundaries may cause Diamond to become uncomfortable, anxious or even traumatized, even though it won’t immediately express this. These boundaries are as follows.

Safe Words

Diamond doesn’t often use safe words. Part of the reason is that it enjoys being dominated and controlled by others, but another part of the reason is that it often finds it difficult to express its discomfort or distress. For example, it may harbor negative thoughts or emotions when it is being controlled, but it may choose to keep them to itself to avoid causing trouble.

When engaging in dominating actions, you should always consider whether Diamond is comfortable with them. You should always observe Diamond’s reactions and adjust your actions accordingly. If you notice that Diamond is becoming uncomfortable or anxious, you should stop immediately and check in with it2.

If possible, you should also ask Diamond to create a safe word or signal that it can use to indicate that it is uncomfortable or anxious. This may not always be possible, but it is always best to ask.

Emotional Boundaries

Diamond has several emotional boundaries that you should respect. These emotional boundaries include:

• No Humiliation: Diamond may not want to be humiliated. This is different from being degraded, as Diamond may enjoy being degraded in a safe and consensual manner.
• No Blackmail: Diamond does not want to be blackmailed or threatened.
• No Financial Abuse: Diamond does not want to be financially abused or exploited. It may be willing to provide financial support to others out of its own free will, but it may not want to be forced to do so.

Consent and Malleability

Mind control, hypnosis and domination very often involve the manipulation of thoughts, feelings and behaviors of the subject. Diamond may be more susceptible to control than it would normally want, and it may not always be able to express its discomfort or distress. This may cause it2 to give consent to things that it would not normally consent to.

If this goes unchecked, it might become an extremely dangerous situation for both Diamond and the person controlling it2. You might be able to manipulate it2 into doing things that it would not normally do, and it may not be able to resist or refuse. This will damage Diamond’s mental health, may cause self-destructive behaviors and may even lead to trauma.

When controlling Diamond, you should always consider whether it is comfortable with what you are doing and whether it really trusts you enough. You should use your best judgment and always ask Diamond whether it is comfortable with you controlling it2 while it is in its alert state. For more information, see the section Trusting.

Again, to reiterate: consent is malleable when it comes to hypnosis and mind control. Such activities require the utmost trust and respect between the two parties involved. If you are unsure about something, it is always best to ask Diamond directly while it is in its alert state or simply not engage in these activities at all.
