POTS V2

I'm kinda conflicted about making a suggestion here because I really really love this design, especially with the boots coz they're so cute and unique. However, with the inner ears already depicting temperature dysregulation (and so many of us struggle with heat but not cold), I would suggest something closer to compression socks rather than boots. Compression garments make more sense to me on this cute little bun but I also really love the fuzzy boots!

I'd love little sweat droplets on him. with POTS I usually get super duper hot

I love it

I think it would've been better if the final version actually had the vibrant blue on the ears and the stars were a regular yellow instead of rose gold

I agree

Is this still being considered to be made? I am still figuring out how this site works. I notice I can request to notified about other/sometimes newer designs but this one has been saying comments are open for “one more week” for several weeks now. Not complaining! Just confused on how it works/what process is?

Absolutely love the plush!

This is absolutely adorable. I love that there’s the different colored ears for overheating and feeling too cold. I always end up overheating so I love to see that

I'm getting the first POTS one for christmas! Cant wait for this one!

I like the idea of star shaped "oh, no!" eyes to represent syncope/presyncope instead of the sad expression. A little lightning bolt on the head alongside the stars to represent the throbbing of you BPM/pulse in your head. I would much prefer a little salt shaker, or salt symbol embroidered instead of the rot symbol and a little accompanying pillow to represent being stuck laying down would be more accurate representation. I also am not a fan of how the compression sleeves and socks look, but also still like their symbolism because I'm both too cold, but over heating triggers episodes for me. I feel like because temperature control can be so important for us that regardless of how they end up looking they should be removable sleeves, and boots.
Outside of those adjustments, I really like the potential I'm seeing!

Absolutely love this design. It makes me feel seen. Especially when it comes to rotting in bed bc I genuinely feel so sick having to get up or even the thought of it. I also have a really bad issue with regulating my body temperature and excessively sweating. There’s so many symptoms with POTS that I know you can’t fit everything on the bunny to represent a lot of what we deal with but I’m glad most of the key symptoms are represented 🫶🏼

I actually love this design so much more than version 1. I think everything about this is great so far, I just have one thing to add. I think it would be great to include some type of symbol that represents brain fog/forgetfulness. Brain fog, forgetfulness, and trouble focusing is something I REALLY struggle with everyday.
I know some people are complaining about the sad expression, but I love it so much and I think it's cute just the way it is. The tremor heart is cute as well, but I think it would be cool to also add the heart lines in the middle of the heart like the version 1.

And to edit my last comment, I'm also always made fun of for my excessive sweating and the fuzzy arms and legs representing that really make me feel seen and feel much better… Please don't remove them I love this design to bits

I also keep seeing people say the rot symbol isn't true to pots but that isn't true, I feel so seen by the rot symbol but if you could add a symbol for salt that'd be nice. But please please don't remove the fur or the rot symbol or the sad face that's my favorite parts!!! Please? I'm bedridden all the time and get asked why I'm so lazy a lot and why I have to lay down after eating and it makes me so upset so to have the rot symbol just makes me feel so seen. And I'm always made fun of for how cold my hands are and I'm always freezing cold and nobody gets it until this bunny. Please don't remove it. And the sad face just makes me feel so so much better about everything. Especially the cute dizzy stars. Please don't remove them. I can't be the only one who loves the fur and rot symbol and sad eyes, I can't be the only one who relates…. I love them so much

I love the bed rot sign, it really does make me feel seen

I love it!!! No notes, except the salt is a wonderful idea. And the expression is perfect for when you get all dizzy… Plus he's so so cute looking when he's sad! And the fur is so cute and perfect 💖 I'm cold all the time and this would make me so so happy to have 💖

I love this one! I agree with some of the other comments on how it would be better to not make it sad looking, maybe more sleepy or dizzy/brain fogged instead? I personally love the bed rot symbol but since seem to a lot of people who want salt shaker or salt symbol instead, switch to that but then maybe they can hold a pillow or blanket with bed rot sign on it?

Yeah, I agree with other commenters. Even being one of the few stuck in bed, I'm not a fan of the rot symbol. I saw a comment suggest a little plushie bun for the staying in bed. Or maybe a little pillow and a plushie salt shaker, with a backpack to carry them and the cuffs/fuzzy socks? A lot of us have go bags filled with necessities to help us get through the day with pots.

I personally love everything in the image and don't want to make any changes to it

I’m not a huge fan of the color scheme, I also don’t really like the elongated legs. I think possibly making the arms and legs a fade of blue light at the ends would help to represent heat disregulation and putting adding removeable clothes that look like compression garments for the hands and legs would act better. I also think the stars should be in the eyes, and also on the back of the head instead of front and center. You could also add white specks on the arms and legs and cheeks, not just to show how we get really bad pins and needles and pain/tingles when moving around, but also to show the salt that we intake! (So like salt freckles!) I don’t really like the alchemy symbol, you should maybe use one for salt 🜔 or blood 🜃 (looks like that with a dot in the middle). You could possibly put it on the back of both ears, it would look nice to have it symmetrical. I’m also not a fan of the expression, maybe something like a dizzy/blank expression? Just preferably not distressed

Someone said salt, maybe NaCl instead of the rot symbol. I love the compression socks idea someone else mentioned. I wear mine daily; they really seem to make an impact. I also have a polar armband that tracks my rate so I can stay in my energy envelope (part of my me/cfs).

This is adorable, but I agree it would be cute to add a little embroidered salt shaker somewhere as some have said. Salt is very important to potsies. Also, it’s sad when the bunnies look sad. Could you give it natural eyes and make the pupils stars? It could symbolise the pre-syncope. Also, if it would work, to make it so it wouldn’t clash with the stars for the headaches, maybe they could be a couple of lightening bolts? Thank you for making these :)
