Hi! I’d like to start writing ATLA fanfiction, and I would like medicine to feature prominently. Your post on Chinese medicine was helpful, but there are still some questions I have and don’t know where to start looking.
I’m stumped on what to call pain-killers that “knock you out”. My mind keeps going to “milk of the poppy” from ASOIAF/GOT, but idk if that would be anachronistic? As a westerner, opiates naturally come to mind but I wonder if anything similar/ different was used across Asia. I’m also aware of the very damaging history of opiates in China by European imperialists, so idk if it’s inclusion in ATLA storytelling would be in bad taste? There’s also naming to consider…. Well, it’s just been on my mind!
Do you have any thoughts on this, or suggestions of things I could look into?
Thanks!!!
Yeah, I think it would be in poor taste to bring up opium-as-medicine in an Asian-inspired world.
As far as traditional Asian painkillers go, there's mafeisan (麻沸散). About 1800 years ago, there was a Chinese physician named Hua Tuo (華佗). His claim to fame was being the first person in China to use an anesthetic during surgery. The concoction he came up with was rice wine boiled with mafeisan, literally meaning "hemp boiling powder". Despite its name, the exact ingredients of mafeisan are unknown and the recipe for it basically died with Hua Tuo. Being a nearly 2000 year old drug composed of mysterious herbs, mafeisan has a mythic quality that (I think) fits the ATLA-world nicely.
A few ingredients that some TCM specialists believe made up mafeisan include hashish, datura flower, aconite root, rhododendron flower (Chinese azalea), and/or jasmine root.
In any case, I can imagine Iroh being familiar with mafeisan. Given how much time he spent in the military, he likely learned a few things from the battlefield physicians. Perhaps his fascination with tea stems from his skills in boiling mafeisan and other tea-like medicines.
Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as a moral statement: lame
“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as in they have a crazy fast abomination metabolism so alcohol doesn’t affect them: better
“Justice doesn’t let me drink” as in Justice just thinks alcohol is yucky: best

Yeah so turns out my unreasonable alcohol tolerance extends to weed. I've taken three times the brownies my friend took. He's having the time of his life and I'm feeling just like. Kinda nothing.

Characterization note mostly to myself: Liz does not do ‘classy smug-superior’ or faux-polite passive aggressive mockery. She is blunt and she is obnoxious and if she wants to make fun of someone it will be with a falsetto voice and over-the-top pantomime

Voices of Resilience: Championing Social Justice Through Art and Activism
‘Unlike cinema on digital screens, street theatre is interactive and multi-dimensional, allowing for a deeper connection with the audience.’ An Interview with Dheeraj Bismil By Aman Zutshi JAMMU: Sitting in a small tea-stall in Jammu, Dheeraj Bismil, excitedly recounted the day of June 23. “I was asleep when I got a call from Sahitya Akademi and was informed that I had won the Sahitya Akademi…

I think if someone were to ask what kind of alcohol I liked I could accurately paint them a picture by telling them about a month ago when I tried a taste of absinthe at a brewery, which felt like a brutal punch to the face made of pure anise and licorice, and was so absolutely fascinated by it I proceeded to buy a $50 bottle of it with no hesitation

No but YOU don't understand. Peeta, who's never been anyone's priority being Katniss’ first choice in all three books is something very important to me.
In The Hunger Games, when Peeta's name was called in the reaping, no one volunteered for him including his older brother who is not only old enough to participate but also a better wrestler than him. Even in the arena, Haymitch chose to keep Katniss alive over him. And the only person who prioritised him was Katniss herself. She chose to keep him alive when he was dying. She chose to die with him by eating the poisonous berries. She chose to go as far as defying the Capitol and President Snow to protect him.
In Catching Fire, once again, we heard his family would mourn if he died but they'll eventually move on. Other victors only keep him alive to form an alliance with Katniss. And Peeta still got captured by the Capitol in the end. But Katniss’ first priority was keeping Peeta alive. She made a pact with Haymitch to protect him. She was ready to kill Finnick or anyone on the spot if they dared to hurt him. She clawed Haymitch for not rescuing him over her. She became suicidal when he was captured.
In Mockingjay, Peeta lost his family. Then President Coin and other rebels didn't want to keep him (and other captured tributes) alive. And the only person who was visibly devastated over his capturing and hijacking was Katniss, again. And in the end, she finally chose him over Gale. And ultimately chose to be with him for the rest of her life. She gave him the family he lost and he became the family she lost.
“No one really needs me,” he says, and there's no self pity in his voice. It's true his family doesn't need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realise only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.
“I do,” I say. “I need you.”
— Catching Fire
