Maaan, I could go on a rant forever. I'll try to condense it. Seeing CPTSD in the title was a surprise. I was diagnosed a year or two ago, I don't even remember. Before I understood what the word trauma was, I was using Madness Returns as a way to cope with feelings I didn't understand. I am up at 5 A.M. unable to sleep remembering memories, emotions, experiences and words from years ago endlessly and uncontrollably running through my mind. Plushie Dreadfuls fill me with dread, seeing all of the things people just have to *deal* with. But it's true, at the same time, knowing I am represented, I am filled with a sense of warmth. Thank you for influencing me, inspiring me, empowering me, giving me a voice and an outlet, and more. If anything, thank you for creating art for people like us and for yourself. Maybe I'll replay Madness Returns for the first time in ten years.

Thank you for being a bright light in a dark world

Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate all your efforts to bring awareness towards mental health as well as other struggles that people have.

It sucks that you went through so much. It's nice to see and hear that you've found harmless creative outlets and a family who cares about you

Hello American McGee, I recently came across your Plushie series and fell in love with it. I was shocked to see some criticism of your dolls on the internet. When I first saw your dolls, I felt that there was something deep, dark, and real about them (especially things like Trauma Bunny). I wonder if those who didn't relate to this aspect are find the dolls provocative. I live in a country where the dollar exchange rate is high, so I can't buy your dolls often, but I'll try to purchase them whenever I can afford it. I will continue to support your projects in the future.

It does resonate with me. :)

Thank you for sharing your experience of trauma and how you have transformed it into amazing creations, both with the Alice games and the Plushie dreadfuls. The Alice games are so beautiful in all aspects and really do help me deal with my own shadow, my own chaos. They hold a very special place in my heart❤‍🔥 And as for the Plushie dreadfuls. I found out about them recently and I LOVE THEM! Using alchemical symbols to transform it into healing is a genius idea! Plus they are so soft and so floofin cute! I have about 7 of them, and I want to collect more. There are so many that I either relate to or adore the design and concepts of. And how each one has so much care and understanding weaved into it. They honestly do feel like my new little friends. Even bear-fisted bear! he's badass! would be awesome if he had a opponent called rabbit-fisted rabbit😹 So thank you to you and everybody involved in these beautiful creations🖤 And thank you American Mcgee for helping us to have a voice for my/our inner shadow/pain/chaos. And as a creative artist myself, you have really inspired me in alot of ways with my own journey of transforming my own shadow into my work, my creations. And you really do deeply understand CPTSD and mental health. Thank you for being an incredible alchemist, influence and chaos weaver🔥❤‍🔥

I’m so sorry what you’ve had to go through. Keep doing what you’re doing, spreading awareness and helping others who have also dealt with medical and mental challenges with your art! You are a great inspiration!

Keep up the great work, I also suffer with mental health problems as well as autism, I've been a fan of your Alice games since 2021 and I found comfort in them because they didn't portray mentally ill individuals as evil and wanting to hurt others for no reason, that is something many people (especially older generations) think when they find out I have mental health problems, I really related to a lot of Alice's struggles and her character development really inspired me As for your plushies I don't know much about them but they seem really cool and informative on mental health issues, I will definitely check them out

I am so sorry you had to go through that as a child that’s horrible I hope your dad goes to jail for it. I hope you are doing better and are safe

❤🌹

I'm wanting to buy your pansexual and nonbinary bunnies. Both to support your business and because it's Pride Month and those bunnies represent my newfound identity.

We need a new Alice game

Wishing the next alice will be back and it seems NOT 🥲. LOVED THE PLUSHIES ❤
