This is a lot nicer design! Im still not convinced on the hearts or venus symbol though. The electric bolt, softer yellow and differential colour paws are great contributions. Maybe have electric bolts on the ears? The constant pain is my biggest issue so to see that more visually represented would be good. The facial expression is exactly how I feel everyday.
I am about to go into hospital and not looking forward to the scars, similar to this little bunn. As surgery is considered the gold standard for diagnosis (as its not always visible on ultrasound and mri) the scars are an essential part of the design.

I feel the same about the scar, only because thats what im about to get ..

I agree with those who have mentioned the yellow needs to be less bright and cheery. Perhaps a dull yellow to pale yellow. The feeling of being washed out and tired.
I love all the references to temperature fluctuations. Mine were so severe I once stood outside my classroom door in a snowstorm because I felt so hot and needed to cool down. That is where you could use intense colors, the Plushie deep red, a dark blue or icy blue. I am assuming the green is for an average temperature, why not bring it out to an earthy green.
The look on the face is perfect.
I believe it could use more lightning bolts on the ears though, Endometriosis just causes so much pain, from increased pain during periods, to the pain of being bloated, period like cramps when you are not even having your cycle. The pain it causes in your relationship because you have to turn your partner away when they are interested in something physical, and you cannot engage because you know it will cause you physical pain if you do.

I love the expression of this design!
I do appreciate the cross through the female symbol rather than the female symbol itself. The colors are a bit bright and fun- I would recommend using a more muted yellow. Yellow is the right color, as that’s the awareness ribbon’s color, but the brightness on the plush doesn’t feel accurate to the experience of the condition. It’s muted and dull, in my opinion.
The color with it should be a dark red, similar to the old plushie’s color pallet, but with a darker red and a more muted yellow. These are all just my suggestions, however.
The hat, the details, everything else looks awesome. I can’t wait to see how the pouch works for heating if you decide to keep that feature. I love my carrot water bottle from the old design.
Edit: Also endo belly would be cool to see on this plush! But I understand if there are limits to adding that sort of shape to the plush

Another plushy that I absolutely adore and resonate with

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 :)
