sticking to my heart like an adhesion but like without the agonizing pain of having my organs glued together
i got the first version of this rabbit back in 2023 after my laparoscopy for suspected (and subsequently diagnosed) endometriosis. recovery wasn’t a great time, and the cutesy nature of v1 was an appreciated distraction—it’s soft, sits upright on its own, and is robustly stuffed (very good for hugging!). it felt like the obvious choice to get the second design and it proved to be a good decision.
now for the meat of the actual product that needs to be reviewed: v2 is cute, but the updated design reflects a lot of more real parts of the condition. the slightly pained expression, temperature dysregulation color scheme on the paws, the little surgical scars on the abdomen…it isn’t as demure as v1 but it still feels comforting in a strange little way. it isn’t quite as chubby as v1 and can’t sit upright, but tbh that symbolically hits close to home. the fur has a different texture and feels really nice. the hat is a nice addition to the design and the quality of the knitwear is very good.
all in all, v2 is very sweet, i enjoy it a lot, and i like to keep the two of them close to each other so they aren’t alone.
