And Shine Heaven Now - Television Tropes & Idioms

And Shine Heaven Now is a Hellsing fan web comic created by Erin Ptah, hosted on Comic Genesis. 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 fangirls, and those meddling kids.

For some of the more convoluted theories about where all this is leading, check out the Wild Mass Guessing

page.

Besides many of the tropes found in Hellsing, Shine also provides examples of:

Aborted Arc: Set was supposed to be the main villain in a storyline where the villains killed in the Hellsing animated series would supposedly escape from Hell. It was dumped after Word Of God discontinued the animated series, and more than half the people that would appear in this pseudo-storyline ceased to exist.
Battle Royale With Cheese: Everything is leading toward Hellsing's big showdown, with a stack of crossovers thrown in
Better Than Canon: At least one troper thinks so
Bleached Underpants: Aside from the established Hellsing examples, three characters came from some of Kohta Hirano's hentai works:
- Nina, who was an unnamed demon in Doc's Story.
- Pip Bernadette, from Coyote, who was the prototype for the Hellsing version of Pip. In Shine, he's Pip's grandfather.
- Natalie, from Coyote as well. While she's seen chained up, that's the extent Shine goes to. She's revealed to be Pip's grandmother.
Cat Girl: Aside from the canon example of Schrodinger, fangirls turned Alucard into a catboy and Rip into a Cat Girl
Cerebus Syndrome: Arguably justified, as readers have known from the beginning that the gag storylines would lead to the dramatic plot of Hellsing eventually
Chekhovs Skill: Integra's ability to consecrate liquid in the Good Books backstory, later seen as an integral (er, no pun intended) weapon in the Let There Be Guns storyline.
Christmas Carol: The 2009 Christmas storyline, directed at Enrico Maxwell. Original character Lisa the Angel fills in as the Ghost of Iscariot Past, and Helios substitutes as the Ghost of Iscariot Present. Death substitutes as the Ghost of Iscariot Future.
Con Recap: Parodied in the Catholicon storyline, in which Enrico recounts a convention of religious fanatics
~~Cool Plane~~ Incredibly Awesome Plane
Soldier: A plane like this, it can call itself whatever it wants!
Crowning Moment Of Awesome: The Captain takes advantage of being in the Major's body to sing ''Stayin' Alive''
Dark Skinned Blond: Timothy
- Uh, Integra? Hello?
Deus Ex Machina: Alucard calls the Incredibly Awesome Plane this. Integra denies it is one.
Dis Continuity: Played with when Shine switches from anime continuity to manga continuity and Incognito is informed that he no longer exists
Fanfic Chop Suey: Hellsing and, say, Witch Hunter Robin 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:
Filk Song: The HellSing fillers
Fire And Brimstone Hell
For Science: "What's Up Doc?", a series of Sunday specials featuring Doc, Millennium's mad scientist
Fourth Wall Mail Slot: The Doujinshi-Ka's Inbox segment, usually an Author Guest Spot, though other characters often chime in
Freaky Friday: for the entire Millennium cast, followed by just Schroedinger and the kidnapped succubus Nina.
Genre Savvy: The Major, being a fanboy of War (in the figurative and literal sense), gives a fandom term laden version of his famous 'I Love War' speech to subdue the fangirls.
Good Angel Bad Angel: Integra and Timothy. Partially subverted in that Integra's angel and devil appeared in full-size versions during the visit-to-Hell storyline.
Guest Strip: Used as filler to keep up the update schedule, with the side effect that any Series Hiatus is limited by the number of strips the readership can be coerced to send in.
~~Hermaphrodite~~ Intersex: Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.
I Have Your Wife: Walter. Millennium has his daughter, Maggie.
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: Weaves together plot points from all the major series included, plus a bunch of original twists
Mega Crossover: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's Read Or Die, Emma, Madeline, Witch Hunter Robin, Marimite, Good Omens, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. And cameo of other series.
Most Common Card Game
Myth Arc: Was held off until Hellsing ended so as not to get Jossed, but is now starting to develop
Nice Hat: One fangirl absconded back to her world with Alucard's hat
Only A Flesh Wound: subverted; in spite of her bravado, the character is significantly weakened, and easily knocked out in the next strip
Original Character: the vampires Reseda and Marian, most notably, along with some supporting cast in Heaven and Hell
- How could you forget Timothy?
Overly Long Name: Marian Amethyst Raven Yumi Sappho Urania Elizabeth, who oddly enough is not a Mary Sue
Robbing The Crusoe
Rousing Speech: If you thought the 'I Love War' speech was awesome before, you should see the fandom version.
Running Gag: The three people that visit Enrico in the "Ghosts of Iscariot Past" storyline aren't technically ghosts. They all said they had some free time.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: Seras is definitely not interested in Pip. Nope.
Shipping: Not only do the many fangirls have couples they ship, but while clinging to a host they can enforce them
Sliding Scale Of Fourth Wall Hardness: it can be broken for comedy value, as Integra explains
So Beautiful Its A Curse: Seras on her figure; Pip insists that he can respect her as a person and enjoy her chest
Sunday Strip: Sometimes plot-relevant, but generally used to present non-storyline features, including Q&As, parodies, filk, and one-shots
That Night Felt Like Months: variation after the timeline reboot
Time Travel
Took A Level In Badass: Some of the more unconventional crossovers have the characters do this:
- Madeline, who's become a vampire hunter for the French branch of Iscariot
- Annie Warbucks, who inherited her adopted father's arms dealing business
- The Yellow Kid, along with Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who now work for Annie. Patty was even seen shooting at Allhambra.
Translation Convention: Usually used, although averted when a character is speaking/thinking in French
- Lampshaded here with "Translated from German with a heavy French accent".
Tsundere: Seras
Tuckerization: The fangirl storylines, as well as the Catholicon storyline, take this to extremes
Van Helsing Hate Crimes: especially when Integra and Enrico are debating the subject of vampires
Webcomic Time: Everything before the time travel storyline (published in 2006, taking place in 1997) has been hit by Ret Con, but after it things have started to advance. In 2008 the comic had made it into 1998, and Word Of God states that Hellsing's main plot will take place in 1999 (comic time).
Wild Mass Guessing: Shine explores some possible ones, and has given rise to other ones, notably the WMG that Schrodinger is an I-jin. He is in Shine canon.

In addition to Shine, Erin also has a Fusion Fic comic, Bishojo Kishi Sailor Hellsing

, which replaces the characters of Sailor Moon 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.

Sailor Hellsing contains examples of:

Gender Bender: Anderson and Pip have both been changed into teenage girls for this comic
Squick: When it's pointed out that Integra's pin used to belong to her father, Sailor Ghoul asks if he used to wear a sailor suit too. The others try hard not to think about this.
What Kind Of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway: Sailor Ghoul has the amazing ability to think, though sadly this does not change her status as The Ditz. Still, for a ghoul still having a functional mind is pretty amazing. For a ghoul.
