Thanks for adding in something for neuropathic pains 💙
I personally really like the colors.

I agree with Mariia as well, I think the tired eyes and possibly eyebrows to emphasize would be great. I'm also not sure how I feel about that color, but maybe you can eventually offer this plushie in various colors like you have with Anxiety Bun?

As someone who experiences everything listed, I love love the design! I do agree that it feels too bright, maybe have a more worn out look to the bun? Maybe have a dark purple base color (the ribbon color) and pale green in the ears with maybe bright yellow zig zags (as a contrasting ‘sharp’ pain). It would also be cool if you added silver tinsel in the paws and limbs to represent tingling and other weird and unbearable sensations that can come with chronic pain. I also agree with the tired eyes.

I concur with the softer colors and tired eyes statements. Even this color but a few shades lighter or muted would be nice. Lighter blue-green shades make me think about how I’m always striving for tranquility, and sometimes I seem like that on the outside, but that’s also because of and acknowledged by the walls! I think coloring in the castle walls, or maybe outlining their shape would make them stand out more, or adding a tower to show the isolation you feel having your walls up all the time. I also love the idea of a little bandaid on the back to acknowledge chronic back pain! This is so cute though, I love the heart/planet stitch and the spiked bracelets, might be cool to do something on the bottom of the feet or back of the legs too, for lower extremity neuropathy. Awesome!

A different prospective; my pain is generally orthopedic and I promise that it is not any shade of pastel or soft. It is slap you down and tackle you to stop you in your tracks if you provoke it. It lives on its own and only lets you live if you do everything it wants to appease it. Always tired, definitely. It does leave you feeling pretty much a nauseating green with no appetite. Having to always use wheelchairs or crutches even just to get to the restroom does begin to p*ss you off, and the pain monster is always just below the surface, so some red pupils/ stitching in the eyes might be good. The zig zag suggestion sounds right, the lightning does strike.

i think this bun would look absolutely perfect with a light/pastel purple as the main colour. the bright teal doesn't fit quite well. and yes, droopy eyes to show fatigue is a great idea!

I LOVE THE SPIKED WRISTBANDS!!! i tend to get sharp pains in my joints and that makes me feel very represented. i agree though with the tired eyes. sometimes chronic pain can tie in with chronic fatigue due to pain insomnia.

pleaaseee change the colour pallete… i've always envisioned chronic pain to be mostly dull colours like black or grey with bright red to symbolise the difficulty to not focus
Alex•
I love the idea of tired eyes! I would maybe put a lightening bolt down the back to symbolize back pain. I also think the colors being more dark muted and blurry.
Rebecca•
Could we add some orange to the design to represent fire for burning neuropathy pains or an orange fire symbol somewhere? Or an electric yellow symbol to represent static electricity pains
