(A cover will come eventually. I'm drawing several different things rn.)

Ivan Smithson's got a lot on his plate. First off, he's come out as FTM trans to his family, friends, and every random stranger who refers to him as a lady on the street. Second off, his trans-ness doesn't fit the narrative of most trans people that he's seen in media, so he's probably got some explaining to do on why he still feels okay (and just as manly) when he's on stage rehearsing as Gertrude McFuzz in his local theater's production of "Suessical Jr." as he does in a full tux with a top hat. Third, is he's also recently found out that he has the power to manipulate water. Not just being able to splash people in the local pool, but physically summon the moisture from the air around him and spray high-pressure beams of water from his fingertips like some sort of weird death-whale.

Okay, perhaps there should be some sort of priority on the death-whale thing, but the rest of his problems are still as valid as that one. My entry into @lgbt 's #WattPride contest/showcase/donation thingy, 'cause a trans-man can be just as much of a hero as Superman.

ROTWOTA: Book 3 - Resistance, Rebellion, and Revenge by BenGamer2496
21 parts Complete Mature
I recommend reading the first two parts before this! After only two weeks into the anthro takeover, things have gone right and wrong on both sides. Emma, Cody, Eric, and many more human and engine survivors have fought to escape to a safe haven within the Biltmore estate and village in North Carolina. However, with tension between new and old faces slowly arising, everyone will inevitably have to face the war in order to survive, or at least make it out while staying themselves, physically and mentally. Meanwhile, on the opposite side, June and her friends and family just fighting to stay alive slowly begin to realize they're more important than they think. As not long after, they're forced back into battle to help continue their part in bringing about the end of the human race. However, many don't realize at first that they have more in common than they think. All they know is that many of those they've been acquainted with will likely make it out alive or as themselves. Now it's up to them to partner with their new and old friends and equate one another as allies against powerful forces in order to protect themselves, and all they ever cared about before it's too late. Inspired by the works of: TidmouthThunderbolt/_Frogz Shanks Sodor Fallout Studios Lucat_here ChloeTgTf Truck_of_Tar ThomasProductions2019 Tines Sensathe PATBP The Duffer Brothers (And many more YouTube and Wattpad creators, this list is longer than I remember and I don't want to let it take up the description, please forgive me I ran out of allowed characters) Warning: This story contains mature themes such as swearing, death, themes of war, gore depictions, highly racist actions and symbolism, and more. I recommend you be 13 years or older to read this story. ALSO, DO NOT STEAL ANY OF THE OC CHARACTERS (but I do confess that there are some characters that I don't own and I'd like to apologize to those owners that I didn't credit you all😬). Enjoy the third part of the ROTPOTA series!

I'm a Mermaid, Not a Merman

29 parts Complete

Danny has always felt like a weird guy. Like he just didn't fit. He always felt like he was a geek who was interested in strange things. He'd never felt comfortable in his own skin. And his own skin is fighting against him, as his body develops in an uncomfortable way. All this comes to a head when Danny decides to finally indulge in his love of mermaids, and change his life forever... Highest rankings: #1 in girly #1 in feminine #11 in trans #11 in transgender #2 in transgirl #11 in mtf I allow fanfiction based on my work, and in fact encourage it! Simply give credit to me as the original creator of the characters. Note however, that being the original creator, I might not like the direction said characters were taken in your work.
