I'm trying to bend this thingy around a curve, is that possible?
Like bending the stick thing around the circle?

you can’t bend things. You have to model them bent
I would love for Onshape to add tools to taper, flex, and otherwise distort geometry like this.

I have been working on geometry distortion tools, but alas there's a WoW patch dropping next week so development has really slowed down.
hahaha I am excited to see what you come up with. I do think there's a lot more power for deformations available with Parasolid, but not exposed yet to FeatureScript.

In the meantime, you can fake it.
You could use Konstantine's
Contour spiral feature to do it:
