As burnout edges nearer, Erin survives by magically discarding her unwanted emotions. When her boyfriend plans a future that feels suffocating, Erin fakes delight. But if she can embrace her feelings and her autism, she might find a life she loves enough to live without a mask. #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

A photo collage with the theme of white. The photos are: a closed door set in white walls, a white marble hand that has been stuck together with gold lines in the kintsugi style, a woman in a while jumper knitting, fresh white blossom on a tree, a small plant growing up through a cracked white pavement, a woman in nature writing on a fresh page of a book, a statue of a woman in white marble whois using her hands to pull her chest open to reveal fresh plant growth within.

Humans grow protective exoskeletons in response to negative emotions.
Hers grows internally; crushing her organs. His is terrifyingly over-reactive.
Believing they're freaks who should be shunned is easy. Loving themselves seems impossible, but a chance meeting might change that… #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

A photo collage with a theme of red. The photos are of: an explosive volcano, a beautiful gold and red venetian mask, red velvet cupcakes with heart sprinkles, a woman bleeding and trying to stem the wound, a love letter, two people holding hands silhouetted against the sunset, and a old piece of armour.

Erin’s mask is flawlessly maintained through magically discarding her emotions to blend in with everyone else. When burnout stops her powers from working, she discovers her world is not accepting of any necessary accommodations. But perhaps there’s a place out there that would be… #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

Isn't it just? One of my favourite scenes is when she's trying to push through burnout and then she realises that actually it's okay to cancel even important things if you have to 🥹

Aubrey's protective exoskeleton is killing her. Unlike everyone else's, hers grows internally. Her doctor says she's one stressor away from a spike piercing her heart.If she's going to survive, she'll need to learn to accept herself and the love of others before it's too late. #DVPit #ND #R #SFF

I am far more worried about the rise of fascism than the rise of autism. Can we look into the causes of that?
