Endometriosis V2

I want it to show my frustration and anger at how it takes on average 7 years to diagnose, how doctors dismissed me, how my periods and GI system are all over the place and totally unpredictable, how it’s invisible and no one really understands how much it hurts, how I have no idea if I’m infertile or not. The Frankensteins monster idea works.

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have said) and it would be nice to center other aspects of endo, not just the surgery scar (which is from a largely outdated procedure).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 :)
