* DarkSkinnedBlond: Timothy and Integra.

* NiceHat: One fangirl absconded back to her world with Alucard's hat

* FilkSong: The [[http://shine.erinptah.com/storylines/sundays/fangirl-karaoke/ Hell''Sing'' fillers]]

* MegaCrossover: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'', ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'', ''Literature/GoodOmens'', and ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. And {{cameo}} of other series, such as [[Literature/GoodOmens the Four]] [[Comicbook/TheSandman Horsemen]] as well as a slightly older-looking [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin, Susie and Candice]], [[Series/DoctorWho Ace]][[note]]Killing a vampire with [[BlatantLies so-totally-not-Nitro 9]].[[/note]], [[Series/DoctorWho Jackie and a young Rose Tyler]] have appeared. Also, the Sixth Doctor appeared in an earlier storyline with H.G. Wells.

* MythArc: Was held off until ''Hellsing'' ended so as not to get {{Jossed}}, then started to develop.

* [[strike: {{Intersex}}: Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.

* [[strike: {{Hermaphrodite}}]] [[{{Hermaphrodite}} Intersex]]: Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Erin hinted [[http://sailorptah.deviantart.com/art/Integra-s-Family-Tree-171870994 in this picture]] that Arthur might have been the result of an affair between Mina and Abraham. If true, this would probably be seen as an example of 'good' adultery because...well, if we don't have Arthur, we don't have Integra.

* MegaCrossover: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'', ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'', ''Literature/GoodOmens'', and ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''.

[[quoteright:234:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dramatic_cigars.png]]

* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Lampshaded when Annie explains, per the canon explanation from the original comic, ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnniethat because she was born on February 29th, she ages at a quarter of the rate of a normal human (hence why she could have been alive in the 1940s but look no older than thirty).

* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Lampshaded when Annie claims that because she was born on February 29th, she ages at a quarter of the rate of a normal human (hence why she could have been alive in the 1940s but look no older than thirty). Course, she ''could'' be pulling Seras's leg.
** No, no, that's the canon explanation from the original comic. ComicStrip/LittleOrphanAnnie is AWESOME!

* AllThereInTheManual: ''Manga/PetShopOfHorrors'' is part of the Shineverse, but if the reader skips the author notes and non-story comics, they'd never know, since there's only a couple references to it in the series itself, notably, that D crossed paths with Sherlock Holmes, as mentioned above. [[spoiler:One of the non-story comics reveals that [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Hobbes]] also came from D's pet shop, and Calvin's parents were the rare people that ''never broke their contract''.]]

[[spoiler:One of the non-story comics reveals that [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Hobbes]] also came from D's pet shop.]]

** Also, [[hhttp://shine.erinptah.com/ashn/triptych-part-ii-30-35/ the Nail of Helena (no relation)]]. Well played, Anderson, well played.

* ParodySue: Marian, who ''thinks'' she has Sue-esque plot-bending powers... [[SubvertedTrope but really has nothing of the sort]].

** Also, [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20110324.html this strip]]. Well played, Anderson, well played.

* OnlyAFleshWound: [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20080411.html subverted]]; in spite of her bravado, the character is significantly weakened, and easily knocked out in the next strip

* RousingSpeech: If you thought the 'I Love War' speech was awesome before, [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20090629.html you should see the fandom version.]]

* SlidingScaleOfFourthWallHardness: it can be broken for comedy value, as [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20070805.html Integra explains]]

* SplitPersonality: Yumiko and Yumie, [[spoiler:and all [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20100307.html nine others]] identified in the system]], given much more backstory than in the original, where their splitting is just a plot device. May be a form of AuthorAppeal, given some of Erin's [[Series/UnitedStatesOfTara other fandoms]].

** Lampshaded here with "[[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20090927.html Translated from German with a heavy French accent]]".

* WebcomicTime: Everything before the time travel storyline (published in 2006, taking place in 1997) has been hit by {{Retcon}}, but after it things have started to advance. In 2008 the comic had made it into 1998, and WordOfGod states that Hellsing's main plot will take place in 1999 (comic time). It has also been lampshaded a few times by the characters, such as [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20101101.html here]]

* HeterosexualLifePartners: [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20111007.html Jon and Stephen]]. With a healthy dose of HoYay, much as Stephen [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday would like to deny it]].

* SplitPersonality: Yumiko and Yumie, [[spoiler:and all [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20100307.html nine others]] identified in the system]], given much more backstory than in the original, where their splitting is just a plot device. May be a form of AuthorAppeal, given some of Erin's [[UnitedStatesOfTara other fandoms]].

Several [[Expy AU versions]] of original characters created for the Shineverse appear in the artist's original comic, ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson''.

* ArtEvolution: So very much. Any strip which summarizes earlier events reveals this.
* AscendedExtra: meta-example: Xuanwu of ''Webcomic/StrangeCandy'' started out as one of Shine's many fans, then co-wrote the Shine or Die arc with Erin and has shown up several times since, including the Eurekon storyline and the What's Up, Doc? (not to be confused with [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny What's up, Doc?]]) Sunday strips.
** In-story wise, [[spoiler:Sir Shelby Penwood appears to be getting a bigger role than he did in the manga, seeing as how he's now [[Series/DoctorWho Jackie and Rose Tyler]]'s guardian angel]].

* BrickJoke: In the very first story line, Alucard and Walter already knew what a FanGirl was, and explained them to Integra and Seras. Seven years later, we find out how they knew. [[spoiler: They fought off fangirls during World War II]]

** To the point, Erin had told Millennium that the main plot would kick in once she knew the identity of the She.

* ConRecap: Parodied in [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20060731.html the Catholicon storyline]], in which Enrico recounts a convention of religious fanatics.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Of the Limited Palette variety: The fangirl arc with [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Jeeves and Bertie]] in it were portrayed in this style, with only the red of vampire eyes showing...and then the fangirls.

** The flashback arc that introduced Jeeves and Bertie could be considered a Desaturation example, with more sepia tones than normal arcs, but still with color.
*** WordOfGod is that both Jeeves-and-Wooster arcs have used the same palette. Ditto for the flashback involving Pip's grandparents, which takes place in the same era.

* FilkSong: The Hell''Sing'' fillers
* FireAndBrimstoneHell

* [[strike: {{Hermaphrodite}}]] [[{{Hermaphrodite}} Intersex]]: [[spoiler: Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.]]

* [[HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas How the Grinch Cancelled Christmas]]: The 2004 Christmas storyline.

* MegaCrossover: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'', ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'', ''Literature/GoodOmens'', and ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. And {{cameo}} of other series, such as [[Literature/GoodOmens the Four]] [[Comicbook/TheSandman Horsemen]] as well as a slightly older-looking [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin, Susie and Candice]] in a recent strip. And in the current arc, [[Series/DoctorWho Ace]][[note]]Killing a vampire with [[BlatantLies so-totally-not-Nitro 9]].[[/note]], [[Series/DoctorWho Jackie and a young Rose Tyler]] have appeared. Also, one of the Doctors has appeared in an older storyline[[note]]The Sixth Doctor, if memory serves[[/note]] with H.G. Wells.

* MostCommonCardGame: The artist has difficulty drawing cool-looking fight scenes, so extended dramatic battles are often represented as games of Go Fish.

* MultipleChoicePast: Lampshaded in regards to Enrico telling how he met Integra.

* {{Robinsonade}}

* ShownTheirWork: Ranges from footnotes under her comics to [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20060917.html an entire comic dedicated to it.]]

* TimeTravel

** Literature/{{Madeline}}, who's become a vampire hunter for the French branch of Iscariot

In addition to ''Shine'', Erin also has a FusionFic comic, [[http://shine.erinptah.com/manga/ Bishojo Kishi Sailor Hellsing]], which replaces the characters of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' with the cast and setting of ''Hellsing''.

* AllThereInTheManual: Erin had only intended to do this for one arc. She had, however, drawn out concepts for other ''Hellsing'' characters as Sailor Knights for potential future arcs.

''[[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/ And Shine Heaven Now]]'' is a ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' [[FanWebComics fan web comic]] created by Creator/ErinPtah, hosted on Website/ComicGenesis. More humorous than its source material, ''Shine'' follows the Hellsing organization and others as they tackle problems such as parties, monster attacks, romance, pay checks, extremely aggravating [[FanGirl fangirls]], and [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo those meddling kids]].

This page also contains tropes from Erin's related comics, ''[[http://sailorhellsing.comicgenesis.com/ Sailor Hellsing]]'' and ''[[http://eagleofhermes.deviantart.com/ The Eagle of Hermes]]''. Scroll down.

For some of the more convoluted theories about where all this is leading, check out the [[WMG/AndShineHeavenNow Wild Mass Guessing]] page.

The artist's latest comic, ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'', is a completely separate story taking place in its own universe... but since the Shineverse already had its fair share of original characters, keep an eye out for some familiar faces.

In addition to ''Shine'', Erin also has a FusionFic comic, [[http://sailorhellsing.comicgenesis.com/ Bishojo Kishi Sailor Hellsing]], which replaces the characters of ''Manga/SailorMoon'' with the cast and setting of ''Hellsing''. A young Integra finds herself leading battle against vampires when her father dies, leaving her leadership of the Hellsing organization, while a talking eight-eyed dog called Alunacard gives her a crucifix pin that changes her into Sailor Hellsing. With the aid of Sailors Regenerator, Ghoul, Human, Vampire, along with the help of the mysterious Masked Vampire, Sailor Hellsing leads the Sailor Knights in the fight against the vampire menace while searching for the Master of Monster.

In additional [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment addition]] to that, Erin has a third comic on Website/DeviantArt and rerunning on the main site, [[http://eagleofhermes.deviantart.com/ The Eagle of Hermes]], a ''Series/TheDailyShow'', ''Series/TheColbertReport'', and ''Hellsing'' crossover set in present day Shine-verse, with flashbacks to the Millennium invasion in 1999. It's a story that asks one thing: WhatIf Creator/StephenColbert was a vampire?

* BrokenMasquerade: Bobby's death alerted Iscariot to Stephen's vampireness.

** And finally, the sequel/side story had Stephen reveal he's a vampire to the audience of the Rally to Restore Sanity.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Also of the Limited Palette variety, the recurring color here is red (with an odd exception of [[http://sailorptah.deviantart.com/art/Chapter-4-Page-03-172596561 this title page.]])

* AuthorAppeal: ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' and, say, ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'' have a lot thematically in common; but a lot of the series, from ''Marimite'' to ''Madeline'', are just there because the author likes them, and made to fit in out of sheer willpower:

* MegaCrossover: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', ''{{Madeline}}'', ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'', ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'', ''Literature/GoodOmens'', and ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. And {{cameo}} of other series, such as [[Literature/GoodOmens the Four]] [[Comicbook/TheSandman Horsemen]] as well as a slightly older-looking [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin, Susie and Candice]] in a recent strip.

Also, one of the Doctors has appeared in an older storyline[[note]]The Sixth Doctor, if memory serves[[/note]] with H.G. Wells.

** {{Madeline}}, who's become a vampire hunter for the French branch of Iscariot

''[[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/ And Shine Heaven Now]]'' is a ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' [[FanWebComics fan web comic]] created by Creator/ErinPtah, hosted on ComicGenesis. More humorous than its source material, ''Shine'' follows the Hellsing organization and others as they tackle problems such as parties, monster attacks, romance, pay checks, extremely aggravating [[FanGirl fangirls]], and [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo those meddling kids]].

** During the rerun of Eagle of Hermes, Erin tells of a few plots that, for one reason or another, never got off the ground, such as Reseda meeting Helena or the Franchise/SherlockHolmes-PetShopOfHorrors crossover.

** The Yellow Kid, along with [[{{Peanuts}} Peppermint Patty and Marcie]], who now work for Annie. Patty was even seen shooting at Allhambra.

* FanNickname: [[spoiler: [=iJeeves=], for the Jeeves I-Jin]]

* [[spoiler: MercyKill: Walter and Girlycard killed a mortally wounded Jeeves rather than let him fall into the Nazis' hands (and Jeeves refused to be turned into a vampire.]]

* MythArc: Was held off until ''Hellsing'' ended so as not to get {{Jossed}}, but is now starting to develop

* OneSceneWonder: [[spoiler: Integra's mother.]]

* ScheduleSlip: Oddly enough, when this happens, it's usually because something is up with the host site. When Erin needs a break for schoolwork or her computer being on the fritz (again), she posts guest comics, and more recently a feature on Integra fansites.
** Which has been pointed out by Jon Stewart [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20100607.html here]].
** Though there was one time she deliberately postponed the plot for more Integra spottings: she felt uncomfortable posting a story about a fictional London burning at the same time as the real life London riots were happening.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The 'Storylines that Weren't'
** How Reseda Met Helena: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Never got past the concept and the idea of drawing all those {{Pimped Out Dress}}es was too daunting.
** Madeline and Friends: Madeline's adventures in the Holy League. Never got past a cast of characters (Madeline, Pepito, and a Muslim girl codenamed Mitraille)
** Catholintegra: Enrico finds an I-Jin of Gregor Mendel and tries to create a Catholic version of Integra. Dropped cause Caterina Sforza of ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'' made a good Catholic Integra already, so it was retconned into an Iscariot in the far future being more successful in creating Catholintegra than Enrico was.
** Let The Flames Begin: A MirrorUniverse where instead of fangirls invading, flamers do.
** Everything's Better With Yuri: A GenderFlip of Pip.
** A Proper Lupin III Adventure: Hellsing is recruited to stop Franchise/LupinIII from stealing the Crown Jewels.
** Hellsing Heir Auditions: Integra seeks out someone to adopt as her heir. Dropped when the GrandFinale of ''Hellsing'' reveals [[spoiler: that the head of Hellsing will be a government-appointed position from now on, starting with Penwood's grandson.]]
** The Adventure of the Chinatown Pet Shop: Franchise/SherlockHolmes meets PetShopOfHorrors.
** Integra's Inferno: Integra does [[Literature/TheDivineComedy Dante's Inferno]]. Erin never worked out what she'd be searching for.
** '99 cameos: PippiLongstocking, SaintTail, Franchise/ScoobyDoo and the gang, and [[TheMagicSchoolBus Ms. Frizzle's (now college aged) class]] were considered for cameos.

* GenreSavvy: The Major, being a fanboy of War (in the figurative and [[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20090111.html literal sense]]), [[spoiler: gives a fandom term laden version of his famous 'I Love War' speech to subdue the fangirls.]]

** Year 7: The GenreSavvy Major giving a fanboy version of his infamous 'I Love War' RousingSpeech.

* AuthorAppeal: ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' and, say, ''Manga/WitchHunterRobin'' have a lot thematically in common; but a lot of the series, from ''Marimite'' to ''Madeline'', are just there because the author likes them, and made to fit in out of sheer willpower:
