History Fanfic / IntoTheWild

%%* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Jade's CatchPhrase becomes "I hate this planet."

* BizarreAlienBiology: Marty assumes that Jade has a neural link as well, and asks her where it is because he can't see it in her hair. HilarityEnsues.

* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler:Jade really wishes it were so.]]
* ArmiesAreEvil: Inverted. Jade and her [[BigBrotherInstinct brother]] Michael are arguably the most moral characters.
* ApologizesALot: Marty.
* BodyPaint: [[spoiler:Rather [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolically]] gets washed off Marty when he takes Jade's body to the Tree of Souls.]]

* BreakTheCutie:... but then [[spoiler:Marty kills the only person who ever cared about him.]]

* CrapsackWorld: In Jade's words 'Crowded, poor, crap food and it smells bad.'
* CharacterDevelopment: Basically the whole point of the first half. Overlaps with PaintingTheMedium (see below).

* DeathWorld: Lampshaded by Jade at the start, but in fact she and the Na'Vi are only inconvenienced by the fauna once.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Jade's CatchPhrase becomes "I hate this planet."
* {{Expy}}: Jade is basically Kate from FanFic/TwoWeeksNotice (another fic by the same author) and it looks like [[Literature/{{Nation}} Mau]] wandered onto the set and turned into a smurfy-cat.

* GasMaskMooks: Jade averts this by taking off her mask in front of Marty twice. [[spoiler:Averted again when she is dying and Marty takes it off so she can feel the rain on her face.]]
* GrudgingThankYou: Michael gives one to Marty.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: Averted. Jade is a competent fighter, but her fights with Na'Vi go [[CurbStompBattle just about as expected]].

* HumansAreBastards: Marty seems a firm believer in this, until Jade shows him otherwise.
* ImmuneToBullets: Perhaps, but not to [[KillItWithFire grenades]].
* IronicEcho: [[HappyRain It's]] [[SubvertedTrope raining]] and "A Na'Vi admitting wrongdoing. Isn't that a sight."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jade is actually a nice person once she starts to trust Marty.

* KnightInSourArmour: Jade.
* Kuudere: Jade.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Inverted]]. Jade symbolizes immortality and resurrection. [[spoiler:She dies.]] Marty carries an infamous perfectionist name. [[spoiler:He is the most flawed character in the story, and is responsible for Jade's death.]]
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:So Marty says goodbye once he lays Jade next to the Tree of Souls.]]
* OddFriendship: [[TheMovie The Fanfic.]]
* OnlyAFleshWound / InstantDeathBullet: [[spoiler:When Jade gets hit in the stomach with an arrow, she survives long enough for the neurotoxin to kill her. [[TearJerker She's babbling deliriously the whole time]].]]

* ScienceIsBad: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with.]] Marty seems to think this, but Jade explains to him that the RDA could essentially heal the world with the Unobtanium from the mining expedition.

* TearJerker: The ending.

* DynamicCharacter: By the end Jade is a little bit nicer on the whole and Marty is more self-confident. [[spoiler:Pity he accidentally kills her.]]

* FanNickname: Some of the popular ones are used like [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Papa Smurf]] and [[Website/ChannelAwesome Smurfy-Cat]].

* AngstWhatAngst: Jade refuses to acknowledge the existence of her [[spoiler:failed marriage.]]
* {{Anvilicious}}: Jade mocks the RDA's cartoonish villainry in what seems like EvenEvilHasStandards.

* IronicEcho: [[HappyRain It's]] [[SubvertedTrope raining]] and [[MarySue "A Na'Vi admitting wrongdoing. Isn't that a sight."]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Inverted]]. Jade symbolizes immortality and resurrection. [[spoiler: She dies.]] Marty is short for Marty Stu, the male equivalent of MarySue. [[spoiler:He is the most flawed character in the story, and is responsible for Jade's death.]]

* FanNickname: Some of the popular ones are used like [[TheSmurfs Papa Smurf]] and [[Website/ChannelAwesome Smurfy-Cat]].

[[IThoughtItMeant It has absolutely nothing to do with]] the [[IntoTheWild book or film of the same name]] made about the life of Christopher [=McCandless=].

* TearJerker: The ending.
* UnfortunateImplications: Just about all the ones from the movies are lampooned, such as being [[EvolutionaryLevels biologically better than humans]] the [[RapeIsLove tentacle braids]] and general Sueishness.

* {{Expy}}: Jade is basically Kate from FanFic/TwoWeeksNotice (another fic by the same author) and it looks like [[{{Nation}} Mau]] wandered onto the set and turned into a smurfy-cat.

* CharacterDevelopment: Basically the whole point of the first half. Overlaps with PaintingTheFourthWall (see below).

* PaintingTheFourthWall: The story is third person, but from Jade's perspective. At first Marty is only referred to as 'it'. Then as 'he'. Eventually she gives him the name Marty and he's referred to by that name for the rest of the story. [[spoiler:The narrative partly shifts to him as their respective sides gear up for war, completely transferring to his side when Jade dies.]]

* CallASmeerpARabbit: Every animal on Pandora is called by their RDA-assigned names. Probably not [[DidNotDoTheResearch accidental]] considering [[ShownTheirWork the rest of the details]].

* CurbStompBattle: Jade tries to knife-fight a full-grown Na'Vi warrior. [[{{Understatement}} It doesn't end well.]]

* {{Expy}}: Jade is basically Kate from TwoWeeksNotice (another fic by the same author) and it looks like [[{{Nation}} Mau]] wandered onto the set and turned into a smurfy-cat.
