Embers: Difference between revisions

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5398503/1/Embers Embers]'' is a popular, though [[Love It or Hate It|controversial]], ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' fic by [[Vathara]] that [[Deconstructor Fleet|deconstructs]] the standard story of a [[Five-Man Band|group]] of [[Idiot Hero|kids]] [[Black and White Morality|saving]] the world from [[The Empire]], with copious amounts of [[Fridge Logic]] and [[Fridge Horror]]. Moving the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] universe on the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] (characters had ''better'' not even try to invoke [[Hero Insurance]], for example), causes the good guys to [[Hanlon's Razor|seem]] less good and the bad guys to range from [[Anti-Hero]] to [[Complete Monster]]. It also explores things that the TV show had to gloss over for kids, like [[Child by Rape|the horrors of war]], [[Eldritch Abomination|dangerous]] spirits and [[Mind Rape|Azula]].

 

 

 

What at first seems like a fairly simple [[Alternate Continuity]], ''Embers'' is deepened by [[Vathara]]'s worldbuilding. She draws on her extensive research into psychology and real-world history and philosophy (she includes some partial [[Shown Their Work|bibliographies]]) to explain how the ''Avatar'' world could be the way it is and what that would imply about what the viewer does not see. Eventually, it grew into a full-fledged [[Alternate Universe]]. The varying interpretations of people and groups that can result from the different historical & ethical perspective is the main source of controversy. See the [[Embers/Headscratchers|Headscratchers]] and discussion pages for further details.

Little fragments of the show's [[Fridge Logic]] are expertly explained—in ways that later become [[Chekhov's Armory]].

 

 

During their travels in the Earth Kingdom, Zuko learns that Ursa was able to use fire to heal, and learns himself with Iroh's help. Yue becomes involved, {{spoiler|revealing a centuries-long conspiracy to wipe out all healing benders, cripple the Avatar by eliminating the yaoren, who were meant to train him in dealing with spirits & combining elements in the same way that his other teachers taught him about the four forms of normal bending, and, eventually wipe out the human race.}} Oh, and there are dragons too.

 

 

* [[Walking the Earth|The Walking The Earth Kingdom]] Arc - After the confrontation in Theft Absolute, Iroh talks Zuko into wandering the Earth Kingdom posing as a healer. Along the way they {{spoiler|fight a plague spirit, acquire a team pet in the form of a cranky, attack-happy ostrich-horse,}} and Zuko learns how to fake waterbending with very hot water. Iroh makes the mistake of praying to Yue, and Zuko and Katara work together to save Iroh after Azula's attack, causing the Gaang to question what they know about Zuko, Iroh, and firebending. Chapters 1-7.

* Exodus from Ba Sing Se arc - Zuko, Iroh and {{spoiler|Shirong lead Earth Kingdom citizens out of Ba Sing Se via escape by amphibious train. Azula and Ty Lee are headed back to the Fire Nation for reinforcements which include getting the Fire Sages to take care of the restless spirits of Ba Sing Se and thus making her its ruler. Kuei is in hiding with Bon and Quan. While trekking a forest, Jet and his Freedom Fighters attack Zuko and his people, only to be countered by Langxue and Shidan, Zuko's dragon grandfather/Kuzon's dragon friend}}. And now, a tense gathering takes place between Zuko, Iroh and {{spoiler|Shidan...}} Ch. 37-46

* The Fire Nation arc - As of Ch. 47 {{spoiler|Aang has left for the Fire Nation}} with the Gaang in pursuit and {{spoiler|Makoto}} has finally appeared. She attacked {{spoiler|Azula}}, who fought her off, which may have only furthered her [[Plan]]. Sokka and Aang spend time having a "manly" talk, while Azula gets some sorely needed healing from Shidan. {{spoiler|The Fire Lord is less than amused when he learns that Azula has had contact with her grandfather, and Azula's loyalties are tested once she meets her father.}} Katara meets the Painted Lady {{spoiler|where she and the rest of the Gaang learn to tread lightly with spirits}}, who points out Shu Jing to them. This is where the gAang ends up next, home of the retired Fire Army major, Piandao {{spoiler|and Kuzon's ghost mate, Temul, who teaches them about ground fires and how Sky bison treading on their fields means BAD for farmers}}. In the Earth Kingdom, Kuei learns more about the Touzaikaze and how they survived in the desert {{spoiler|both airbenders and sandbenders living underground}}. Zuko, Shirong and Langxue go off to find Asagitatsu to stop the volcano from erupting {{spoiler|by fighting off Makoto and Koh. They win}}. While here, Aang finally learns of the tragic fate that befell his good friend, Kuzon {{spoiler|who was killed by airbenders, trained by none other than Aang's own Temple mate, Ja Aku}}. Currently, the Southern Water Tribe fleet has caught up to Zuko and his crew, and are now in the Northern Air Temple...Ch. 47-55

== A-C ==

* [[Abduction Is Love]] - In the historical form of bride capture. Played straight by the Water Tribes according to Sokka, and by the Earth Kingdom according to the Dai Li (when it comes to spiritually strong 'desert witches' for the Earth King's bloodline), but inverted in the Fire Nation, where it's a woman that ambushes the man with 'three cups of wine and a [[Red String of Fate|red cord]].' In both cases, it's implied to ideally be ceremonial, basically part of the marriage process or a proposal (Iroh's wife proposed in this fashion), but Teruko [[Black Comedy Rape|jokes]] about doing it to [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|Sokka]], since he's prime stock, and given the Northern Water Tribe's feuding traditions and all three groups' cultures, it's probably been nonconsensual often enough.

*** Referencing the above notes about dragons, [[Word of God]] is given in the footnote to [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5398503/43/Embers Chapter 43].

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] - Aang

* [[Cain and Abel]] - [[Vathara]] notes in author's notes that there's a definite theme of this in Fire Nation Royalty: Zuko and Azula, Ozai vs. Iroh and Ursa, and adds to it by making {{spoiler|Ilah, Azulon's wife, Roku's daughter.}}

** And what about the similarity in names between {{spoiler|Xiangchen and Yangchen?}}

{{quote|Zuko: "''I know already!''"}}

* [[Canon Discontinuity]] - The creators of Avatar might have declared that The Great Divide didn't happen after realizing all the [[Unfortunate Implications]]. [[Vathara]] isn't letting them get away with it that easy.

* [[Chaste Hero]] - {{spoiler|Dragons don't start looking for mates until they have claimed a territory to bring them home to,}} which tallies with canon Zuko being in a relationship with Mai as soon as he was accepted back as heir, and then leaving her behind when he lost that position instead of taking her with him to join Aang.

* [[Chekhov's Armory]] - Not just [[Chekhov's Gun]] but [[Chekhov's Armory]]. The [[Stealth Pun|Plot Hooks]] in chapter three, for example. Two that have been referenced several times but not come into play yet are {{spoiler|Iroh's ability to see spirits when no one else can and Amaya's meeting with the lion turtle.}}

** In chapter 22, Iroh hints that the White Lotus has, centuries ago, had to deal with an Avatar that went bad. {{spoiler|It has been revealed in chapter 57 that Avatar was Kesuk, from the Northern Water Tribe. In the records the White Lotus kept, she was never really strong, and when her spirit beast was killed, she snapped. She set out to take over the world, but thanks to Asagitatsu and lots of help from both the Fire Isles and Air Nomads, they stopped her.}}

* [[Chekhov's Skill]] - Didn't you think it was '''weird''' in the series that the Dai Li, sworn to protect Ba Sing Se, ''left'' their city to follow Azula around? Embers explains that certain Firebenders can bend the inner flame, which affects loyalty. Suddenly it all makes sense: Azula presented herself as someone better and more worthy to follow, and used her Inner Fire so they'd follow her. But then, who else has it? What about the other elements? [[Vathara]] takes things to their logical extremes.

** {{spoiler|Vathara named them after the [[The Four Gods|Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations]]. The Black Tortoise (Kurokame) and Vermillion Bird (Akitori) volcanoes threaten to go every 6000 and 3000 years respectively; they are thusly guarded by dragons who are both completely disinterested in and out of reach of humans. Shirotora (White Tiger, every 500 years) and Asagitatsu (Azure Dragon, every 1000 years) are not.}}

*** {{spoiler|To be more precise, Shirotora is guarded and pacified by the Lords of Byakko and their heirs. Its schedule of eruption every 500 years and the threat inherent should there be none of Clan Byakko living to appease him is pretty much THE only thing that's stopped the Fire Lords from executing the entire family.}}

* [[Crazy Cultural Comparison]] - All over the place.

* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: While it wasn't obvious in her conversations with Zuko (she has no reason to make things easy for the son of her enemy, after all), during the scene where {{spoiler|Yue teaches Katara how to control her empathic powers, despite Yue's best efforts, the gap between human and spirit is enough that Katara has to work to figure out what she's saying}} and, in a subversion, succeeds.

** In the Water Tribes, a truce is decided upon by the women, who get together and decide that their men have wasted enough time and effort fighting, or are needed back home. Once they've determined that the men are rested and recovered, the truce is revoked and they go to war again.

** In the Earth Kingdom, the local King (or the Earth King, if it's a big enough deal), will declare a truce only as a final ceasefire, when either they or the enemy is thoroughly crushed. Truces aren't temporary... they ''end'' the war, and breaking the truce starts a new one.

** In the Fire Nation, the ranking officer can call for a truce at any time, but they will ''hold'' that truce without fail. They ''will not'' break a truce, but will revoke it and inform their enemy of the revocation before they attack.

** The Air Nomads don't ''have'' truces. They may stop fighting, or work together with an enemy for a while against a common foe, but there's nothing binding about it. They can change their minds whenever they want, without informing anyone. This has led to them being generally liked but not trusted, and in ''Embers'', has led to '''HUGE''' problems between the nations.

** "Fair" is also a concept that trips people up:

*** Earth has the closest to the sense of fairness held by most readers, with debts balancing in the manner of equal weights or stones leaning on each other for mutual support.

** [[It Got Worse]] for the Fire Nation. Their prisons for benders are designed to starve them of their element, wounding their spirits. ''Every single survivor'' of one of those prisons, like the Earthbenders Katara rescued (and ''Hama'') has the potential to become a yaoren. Who obviously won't have much reason to like the Fire Nation.

* [[Discontinuity Nod]] - Also for The Great Divide. May be considered a [[Mythology Gag]] by the author, in which the episode did not happen, but the characterization being solid. It is uncertain if [[Vathara]] considers The Great Divide to be [[Canon]] or not.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]] - Chin Village doesn't just go after Aang on Avatar Day. Kyoshi Island folks are advised that if it's a choice between Chin Village and racist, potentially war criminal Fire Nation troops, head for the troops.

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]] - The Fire Nation: Iroh specifically says this is one of the reasons they don't talk about {{spoiler|Kyoshi or loyalty sickness.}} Zuko also says that Katara would try to rip his heart out if he ever dared pity her, and [[In Love with Your Carnage|it kind of sounds like a compliment.]]

** {{spoiler|There are also "evil dragons"-- [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] as a characteristic. Non-evil dragons just get pissed and hear monkey-jabber for speech. }}

** Though actually 'eyes of gold' are kind of a norm for Fire Nation, like blue in the Water and (apparently) grey for Air. Though blacks and browns also appear. It's Zuko's particular pale shade that are associated with dragon blood and Sozin.

** Even {{spoiler|Professor Wen, who married a woman from the fire nation, is discomforted by the fact his wife 'isn't human.'}}

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]] - Ty Lee tells Azula {{spoiler|what happened to the Air Nomads who could not get away from Xiangchen's followers.}}

* [[Shown Their Work]] - Water benders being blessed by the spirits is a plot point, but not an invented one: [http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Writing_in_the_World_of_Avatar#Bending the Canon pinyin for the bending arts] translate so that Earth and Fire are "abilities," while Air and Water are divine.

* [[Fridge Horror]] - {{spoiler|While Xiangchen kept Yangchen shut away from the world, this allowed Skylord Subodei, his son Yisugei, and his son Subodei (and let's not mention the rest of the White Wind clan) to conquer, rape and pillage all around the world. The White Wind being the equivalent to the Mongols, think about what Genghis Khan had done. This is most likely why there are still traces of airbender blood in people who are NOT Air Nomads.}}

*** There's even a few cases of this in-series. Two of the more common ones are when people discover just what it was that Kyoshi did to the Fire Nation and when they discover just what Aang did at the Siege of the North Pole. Death at the hands of a spirit? Death without any possible attempt to fight back or while full of strong negative emotions? Improper burial (those who drowned at the North Pole would have been irretrievable, and even if they could be retrieved, Northern Water Tribesmen either wouldn't know or wouldn't believe that Fire Nation dead need to be buried or given a funeral light)? Any of these can cause a soul to be restless. The Siege of the North caused a whole ''army'' to experience ''all three fates''. That means there's an army of demons and restless souls wandering southward along the bottom of the sea... not to mention that the angry Ocean spirit is going to keep spitting up monsters of its own to express its rage at their presence.

* [[Genocide Backfire]] - {{spoiler|Zuko's apology to Katara}} reveals that by Fire Nation law and custom, Aang is obligated to kill his father's murderer. Since Aang doesn't know who his father is? The entire Fire Nation is convinced that he's going to wipe them out (even the ones who 'like' Aang think he'll let his allies do it) since they acknowledge that it's 'the right thing for him to do' according to their moral system. Azula's inner monologue shows how useful she and Ozai find this as a means to get the Fire Nation to continue the war, since obviously even the ones who don't want to fight can't stop, because that means the Avatar can kill their families unopposed {{spoiler|, not to mention the firebenders among them will drop dead if they tell Ozai no.}} Aang is not just a [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|naive little boy]]. His ideals are the only ones that can stop the war.

* [[Ghost Shipping]]: Ping and Lu Ten seem to be on rather good terms, although it doesn't seem to be anything more than flirting. On a related note, Toph mentions that in the Earth Kingdom people sometimes arrange marriages between ghosts to get families to stop fighting.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]] - Or rather, spirits aren't. Yue {{spoiler|makes Zuko a waterbender without asking consent, and may or may not have known what this would do to the Fire Nation.}} As for {{spoiler|Wan Shi Tong's kitsune agent and the haima-jiao...}}

* [[Gray Eyes]] - Airbenders, like Aang {{spoiler|and Ty Lee}}. Spiritual, check. Ideas above people, {{spoiler|like putting aside vengeance, or surrendering to Ozai because that would make things so much easier on everyone,}} check. Innocence, check.

 

 

* [[Honor Before Reason]] - Or rather, honor for very good reasons. Is it death before dishonor if {{spoiler|a firebender betraying their lord caused their inner fire to go out, killing them?}} Of course, {{spoiler|it's not 100% fatal.}} The same thing applies to Earthbenders who break contracts, Waterbenders who abandon the tribe, and likely Airbenders who abandon their teachings.

* [[Hot for Teacher]] - In Chapter 33, Toph briefly considers Aang/Katara as an example of this trope. {{spoiler|Then in Chapter 37, she breaks Sokka's brain by mentioning it.}}

* [[How Do I Shot Web?]] - {{spoiler|Zuko with Waterbending, Shirong and Jinhai with Firebending, and}} Especially Aang with shamanism :

** Aang's inability to sense or discern the intention of dangerous spirit activity and ingorance of each nations' supernatural bonds has gotten him flack from all sides( thanks to freezing himself before Gyatso could fill him in on the powers & expectations of the Bridge Between Worlds).

** And then he has to deal with the totally ''inhuman''. Some of which make Hei Bai's ''angry'' form look like the peaceful panda.

** In addition to that, this is the reason that some of the spirits want to {{spoiler|wipe out humanity}}. Others are in it for power or personal vendettas.

* [[Humans Are Special]] - {{spoiler|When spirits want to wipe out humanity, do they pick a fight with us? No, they try to trick us into destroying ''ourselves,'' slowly destroying our capability to fight them and turning the strengths of the various nations into weaknesses.}} The fact that humanity can and ''should'' stop relying on the Avatar to solve all its problems and regain its own strength and agency is a theme in the fic, culminating in a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|CMOH]] when Sokka tells Aang that he doesn't believe in the Avatar's ability to save the world, but that of Aang himself: the person, not the powerful spirit.

{{quote|Sokka: I believe in the kid who was smart enough to trick Katara into penguin-sledding. Who was crazy enough to ride the Unagi. Who had the guts to save Zuko - man, I can't believe you saved Zuko! - instead of letting Zhao grab him. That's what's really going to save the world. Sure, we need plans and weapons and benders strong enough to stop the Fire Lord. We need to fight. And it's not going to be pretty. But after that? We need ''you''.}}

** As of chapter 46-47, {{spoiler|it's pretty much proven that Koh has become so frustrated with humans avoiding, averting, or defeating his attempts to destroy them all that he's decided to use a historically unstoppable super-volcano to do the job this time.}}

* [[It Runs in The Family]] - Most members of Fire Nation royal and Byakko family are highly paranoid and agressive. They are also prone to sociopathy. {{spoiler|Dragon blood tends to do this to people.}} It's hitned that it may be a case with many other Fire Nation clans.

* [[Idiot Ball]] - Detractors accuse [[Vathara]] of handing this to the Gaang.

** According to [[Word of God]] in review responses, Aang is absolutely right about something else too: {{spoiler|the air nomads as he knew them will cease to be as a consequence of at least one of his duties as Avatar.}} Is it really an idiot ball if carrying it is necessary to achieve your goals?

* [[In Love with Your Carnage]] - The Fire Nation. A fairly even-tempered Fire Nation officer sees Mai massacring spirits and immediately wants her as a member of his family, great names prefer wives who can deal with assassins, Teruko finds Toph threatening people in order to get her way absolutely adorable...

* [[My Own Grampa]] - As Zuko {{spoiler|is the reincarnation of Kuzon}}, and Zuko's mother, Ursa, {{spoiler|is the daughter of Shidan and Kuzon's daughter Kotone,}} Zuko is technically his own {{spoiler|great grandfather}} in a strange spiritual way.

* [[Nakama]] - A major theme in all of [[Vathara]]'s works is that people need people: we're fundamentally a pack/tribe species, and if we don't have people we trust enough to be honest with even about our flaws, people we know would be willing to die to protect us, and vice versa, we subconsciously find that terrifying and start to go quietly insane. {{spoiler|This is the reason for the huge disconnect in the fic between how Katara is described and shown in her inner monologue, a nice person who wants to help others and will do the honorable thing, and how she treats Zuko.}}

*** Nope. Loneliness causes psychological pain, and pain over time drives people nuts. (Chinese Water Torture, anyone?) A lot of cultures have ''weaponized'' this in the forms of shunning and solitary confinement in order to force people to comply (for instance, this is one of the many reasons people born Amish are probably going to stay trapped in the Age Before Internet). As a waterbender, Katara is even more vulnerable to this form of torture {{spoiler|and has been constantly suffering it since her mother died.}} On the other hand, being surrounded by people you can't get along with (alone among enemies, and trapped underground) is even worse for tribal humans, so an actual loner, one who withdrew with society, would be a lot saner than someone who spent their life alone in a crowd, trying to please people who didn't care about them. So, loners are generally choosing the less painful of two evils. And one of Embers' themes is that the lesser of two evils is still an evil.

**** She of course realizes that [[This Loser Is You|insults]] a [[Otaku|significant number]] of her audience?

"Is it not?" }}

* [[Never Mess with Granny]] - EVERY Fire Nation woman learns to fight. And it is the older generation who teach the younger one.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Herod]] - Sozin's goal wasn't to wipe out the Air Nomads: it was to kill Roku's reincarnation. {{spoiler|He arranged for thousands of people to die in a way that implied the Air Nomads had acted callously, at best, and Aang was going to repeat Kyoshi's massacre, at worst. It's likely Plan A was for the Air Nomads to produce Aang so that he could be put on (show) trial. When they couldn't do that, well, that 'proved' either the Air Nomads has been callously negligent, at best, or Aang was going to repeat Kyoshi's Massacre, at worst.}} Admittedly the '''Fire Nation's''' goals, and propaganda, were for destroying Air Bending so another Avatar could never call down a hurricane again.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]] - {{spoiler|In chapter 51 Sokka realizes Zuko did this at the North Pole. If Zuko wasn't there Iroh might not have been there and Yue wouldn't have known she could save the Moon. That is debatable. What is not is this: If Zuko wasn't there no one would have dragged the meditating Aang across the ice, meaning ''he would have been there when Zhao showed up''.}}

* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]] - Kuzon {{spoiler|reborn as Zuko}} and how!

** Kuzon trying to save the airbenders. Most of Kuzon's family die. He makes an oath that requires him to frequently desert what's left of his family to pursue what turns out to be a hopeless quest. He is betrayed by people he trusts. He is killed in revenge for some of the decisions he made at the time.

*** Debatable: The show doesn't ever make a noticeable distinction between 'died as a result of dumb physics' (which would include natural disasters) and 'killed by enemy action'. It's the ''dying'' that seems to matter, though they don't ever go into it explicitly. It may be different in ''Embers'', but if so, Vathara has yet to directly state it. (And it would be tricky to work out why ''killing'' has one result that ''dying'' doesn't. It makes sense if there's no distinction -the spirit in charge of the body being dragged into death, maybe -but if the process has to determine that something was done with malicious intent to work, it's a bit iffy.)

* [[Posthumous Character]] - Canon characters include Gyatso, Sozin, Kya, and past Avatars like Roku, while Emberverse characters have Kuzon (who's given more background), some of Zuko's and Azula's grandparents, Hirata (the Fire Nation Avatar before Yangchen), Xiangchen, Subodei, and several Air Nomad groups.

{{quote|Teruko: "Sir.... He's the Avatar. We're Fire Nation. He's not going to treat us honorably. No matter what."}}

* [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]] - Subverted. While the narrative often seems to favor the protagonists, its mainly because the POVs are often [[Unreliable Narrator|characters]] that already follow (as with Teruko), like (Toph and Amaya), or have a good impression of them (Xiu). Dissenting point of views are narrated much later in the story, when they chip in to the momentum of the plot.

* [[Rage Against the Mentor]] - We can only hope Pakku gets the beatdown he so richly deserves. In addition, Zuko isn't likely to appreciate being [[Locked Out of the Loop]] on several important plot points: {{spoiler|his descent from Avatar Roku, his draconic ancestry, what being Kuzon's reincarnation is doing to his head (it may be making him dislike Aang as well as like him: it's one thing to be hurt by an enemy, another by a best friend).}} Also subverted by {{spoiler|Yue and Katara: instead of being frustrated by the [[Cryptic Conversation]], Katara realizes that Yue is doing her best and keeps trying to figure out what she means, enabling the real meaning to come through, instead of blaming her and giving up as per the trope.}}

*** Though, as of chapter 37, Zuko is no longer locked out of the loops.

* [[There Are No Therapists]] - Polar summers and winters are not good for the human psyche (the show references midnight sun madness). The Fire Nation killed all of the Southern Water Tribe's waterbending healer/therapists {{spoiler|and untrained Katara blamed herself for not being able to do that job and save those lives, while getting no therapy or consoling for her own mother's loss.}}

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Villified]] - Played with. While Embers calls for the complete destruction of the Fire Nation government, Zuko acknowledges that {{spoiler|by creating a hidden refuge he's basically going to be sitting back and allowing the rest of the Fire Nation to be massacred, if not egging it on}}, although he and Iroh both agree that it deserves it for a certain value of deserves. On the other hand, it's implied that that the Avatar's actions at the North Pole are deliberately being kept secret by Water Tribe elders and Earth Kingdom officials in order to prevent him from being seen as other than [[The Messiah]] (and prompting the Fire Nation to try it with a Fire Spirit) {{spoiler|even though the massed bad karma has already started to kill innocent bystanders; some kind of warning would certainly lower the body count.}}

** Earth King Kuei. Clearly, his majesty keeps getting [[Character Development|more and more awesome]] with each appearance he makes, especially {{spoiler|where he accepts Eshe, knowing where is duty as Earth King lies}}.

* [[Troperrific]] – Clearly. Became even more so once Vathara ''found out about'' this page.
