Endometriosis V2

I have endometriosis and my biggest problem is blotting- like extremely horrible blotting…I feel if you made the main body of the bunny more round. 😅 I don't often leave comments on things like this….but the constant struggle to find pants that fit me due to having endometriosis is a constant battle. So any way to show the Endo Tummy, would be greatly appreciated by me.😊

I agree with some of the other things that have been said. I like the color of the design and the hat is a cute touch, however it just doesn’t feel angry enough. It feels too soft and feminine (as others have said) and it would be nice to center other aspects of endo, not just the surgery scar (which is from a largely outdated procedure). I agree that there should not be a mood aspect since we already have disorders in the making like pmdd where that is center stage, and mood turbulence is not necessarily a part of the disorder. Instead we should center the pain, the heart problems, the blood pressure drops, the migraines, the gi issues, the organ failure, the fatigue, and even just having a representation for endometriosis itself, like Frankenstein’s monster-esque stitches and/or a tie dyed pattern. And I think most of us would appreciate using a different alchemy symbol to make the design applicable to everyone with the disorder. Otherwise, I think the heating pad is a wonderful idea and I hope it is feasible because I would love to see it!

Yeah! I love your idea of the frankensteins monster. This bunny shouldn’t be cute, it should look a lot like some of the earlier designs like bpd. It isn’t a cute disorder, it’s one of the most painful disorders one can be diagnosed with (and often one of the most stigmatized) and the design should represent that. I want a bunny that represents my pain, not a bunny that minimizes my experiences. Button eyes or dissociation eyes would also be really cool for this bun, for dissociating through the pain and masking.

To add onto that, it is also possible for cis men to get endo as well! Endo affects everyone, not just cis women. The lightning bolt through the Venus symbol can also be read as someone is ‘less feminine’ or ‘less of a women’ for being infertile. There are a lot of other really cool alchemy symbols that can be used to represent everyone with the disorder :)

Hi, I just have a couple of suggestions that could add to the overall design. The first one, as many others have stated, is that the hearts seem unnecessary. Replacing the imagery with briars could indicate the sharp pain as well as the ability for endo to overgrow and choke out organs. Or change the hearts in size and effect of stitching to represent heart issues and chest pain caused by endo. Past that, changing the colors to purple and lower paws to blue to represent numbness/tingling from endo growth and poor vascular flow. As well as adding something under the hat to represent symptoms like excruciating headaches, as endo can grow on the brain. Much like the migraine bunny. Or add stitches to eyes in shapes of stars, as endo can grow in eyes and would be cool. This one thing affects many areas. To the point it makes the individual feel like they are made of mismatched parts. The bunny should almost feel like Frankenstein’s monster. Make the belly distended, paws discolored from poor blood flow, eyes mismatched in focus; stitch the lip corners as they often are torn from bitting due to anxiety, ragged spotted fur for both overgrowth and loss of hair, swap the blush for round dig marks to show acne or picking, and add oddly placed scars for multiple surgical interventions. This is an easy bunny to play with in terms of symbolic design choices, as all organs can be impacted but not seen. Circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, endocrine, gastrointestinal, and many others. It can mimic many other disorders and has many comorbidities.
