''[http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/ And Shine Heaven Now]'' is a ''[[Hellsing]]'' [[Fan Web Comics|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 [[Fan Girl|fangirls]], and [[Scooby Doo|those meddling kids]].
Line 6:
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 [[And Shine Heaven Now (Webcomic)/WMG|Wild Mass Guessing]] page.
 
The artist's latest comic, [[But I'm a Cat Person]], 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.
Line 13:

=== {{tropelist|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.
** The 'lost storyline' was a plot conceived in the early days of Shine, back when it was still gag-a-day format and Pip had yet to arrive on the scene. It had been supplanted by another plot and never picked up again. Some plot elements from this would be revived during the 'Getting Sick of Fangirls' plot.
** During the rerun of Eagle of Hermes, Erin tells of a few plots that, for one reason or another, never got off the ground, suck as Reseda meeting Helena or the [[Sherlock Holmes]]-[[Pet Shop of Horrors]] crossover.
Line 20:
* [[Art Evolution]]: So very much. Any strip which summarizes earlier events reveals this.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: meta-example: Xuanwu of ''[[Strange Candy]]'' 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 [[Bugs Bunny|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 [[Doctor Who (TV)|Jackie and Rose Tyler's]] guardian angel}}.
** Ditto for Yumiko and Heinkel, who have gotten several long storylines fleshing out their characterization in ways [[Red Shirt|their manga versions]] never did.
* [[Author Appeal]]: ''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:
Line 36:
** Also played straight with a strip or two each year after Otakon.
* <s> [[Cool Plane]]</s> [[Cool Plane|Incredibly Awesome Plane]]
{{quote| '''Soldier:''' A plane like this, it can call itself whatever it wants!}}
* [[Dark -Skinned Blond]]: Timothy
** Uh, Integra? Hello?
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The captain manages this despite being [[The Voiceless]]
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Of the Limited Palette variety: The fangirl arc with [[Jeeves and Wooster (Literaturenovel)|Jeeves and Bertie]] in it were portrayed in this style, with only the red of vampire eyes showing...and then the fangirls.
{{quote| '''Alucard:''' What ''is'' this thing, and why does it get to be in color?}}
** 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.
*** [[Word of God]] 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.
Line 53:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: {{spoiler|1=iJeeves, for the Jeeves I-Jin}}
* [[Filk Song]]: The Hell''Sing'' fillers
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]
* [[Flash Step]]: {{spoiler|1=iJeeves}}
* [[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 Flip]]: for the entire Millennium cast, followed by just {{spoiler|Schroedinger and the kidnapped [[Horny Devil|succubus]] Nina}}.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: '''M'''arian '''A'''methyst '''R'''aven '''Y'''umi '''S'''appho '''U'''rania '''E'''lizabeth.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: 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.}}
* [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]]: 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.
* [[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.
** And now Enrico has Bad Angel and [[The Sandman (Comic Book)|Delirium]], who filled in for Enrico's good angel while he was lost in her domain. {{spoiler|This, natually, is taking place when Enrico goes batshit insane with power.}}
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Has Two Mommies]]: Turns out D just ''thinks'' Alucard is his father; he's actually Integra and ''Seras's'' child, and no, neither of them will say how.}}
* <s> [[Hermaphrodite]]</s> [[Hermaphrodite|Intersex]]: {{spoiler|Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Yumiko, after {{spoiler|Heinkel releases her other nine personalities and as they sort themselves out}}
Line 70:
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: In a flashback arc, after Jeeves refused to teach Walter a complicated technique with their weapon of choice, monofilament, Walter nicks the piano wires from Bertie's piano to practice on his own, and later uses it to hold back a vampire while the others escaped.
* [[Insult Backfire]]:
{{quote| '''Fangirl:''' ...wait, Jeeves hates my clothing! JEEVES HATES MY CLOTHING EVERYBODY! MY EXISTENCE HAS BEEN VALIDATED!}}
** Later...
{{quote| '''Jeeves:''' All of you are clad in the most garish, unappealing costumes ever to have been assembled from colors not found in nature.<br />
'''Fangirls:''' [[Squee|WHEEEEEEEE OMG!]]<br />
'''Alucard:''' [[Insult Misfire|Hey!]] }}
* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: Weaves together plot points from all the major series included, plus a bunch of original twists
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Oh holy shit yes.
* [[Mega Crossover]]: Far too many crossovers and cameos to even begin mentioning. But let's try! There's ''[[Read or Die (Anime)|Read or Die]]'', ''[[Victorian Romance Emma]]'', ''[[Madeline]]'', ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'', ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru (Light Novel)|Marimite]]'', ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]'', and ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]''. And [[Cameo]] of other series, such as [[Good Omens (Literature)|the Four]] [[The Sandman (Comic Book)|Horsemen]] as well as a slightly older-looking [[Calvin and Hobbes|Calvin, Susie and Candice]] in a recent strip. And in the current arc, [[Doctor Who (TV)|Ace]]<ref>Killing a vampire with [[Blatant Lies|so-totally-not-Nitro 9]].</ref>, [[Doctor Who (TV)|Jackie and a young Rose Tyler]] have appeared. Also, one of the Doctors has appeared in an older storyline<ref>The Sixth Doctor, if memory serves.</ref> with H.G. Wells.
** In a sentence: Shine crosses Hellsing with everything you'd expect and a few things you didn't.
* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Kill]]: 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.}}
Line 85:
** Then when that got a bit old, it was exchanged for [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|fish-slapping]].
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Lampshaded in regards to Enrico telling how he met Integra.
{{quote| "Yes, but the story changes every time he tells it."}}
* [[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
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: 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. [[Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip)|Little Orphan Annie]] is AWESOME!
* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: [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
* [[Original Character]]: the vampires Reseda and Marian, most notably, along with some supporting cast in Heaven and Hell
Line 108 ⟶ 106:
* [[Shown Their Work]]: And how! Ranges from footnotes under her comics to [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20060917.html an entire comic dedicated to it.]
* [[Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness]]: it can be broken for comedy value, as [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20070805.html Integra explains]
* [[So Beautiful ItsIt's a Curse]]: [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Seras on her figure]]; Pip insists that he can respect her as a person ''and'' enjoy her chest
* [[Split Personality]]: 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 [[Author Appeal]], given some of Erin's [[United States of Tara|other fandoms]].
* [[Squee]]: One can hear a fangirl coming a mile away because they do this. The best way to get fangirls to let go is to make them do this so much they faint from sheer joy. Examples:
Line 115 ⟶ 113:
** Year 4: Giving the fans autographs (and in the case of the Jackal fangirl, a bullet)
** Year 6: An epic battle between Alucard and Nina
** Year 7: The [[Genre Savvy]] Major giving a fanboy version of his infamous 'I Love War' [[Rousing Speech]].
** Year 8: [[Jeeves and Wooster (Literaturenovel)|Jeeves]] insulting everyone's clothes. Apparently it was just so Jeeves everyone fangasmed.
* [[Sunday Strip]]: Sometimes plot-relevant, but generally used to present non-storyline features, including Q&As, parodies, filk, and one-shots
* [[Take That]]: Fangirls were what caused ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'''s version of vampires to sparkle in the first place.
* [[The Power of Love]]: Subverted.
{{quote| '''Marian:''' It's not unlikely at all. You're an enemy of Integra. So there's no way you can beat me. Because I have the most powerful thing in the universe on my side-the power of true love!<br />
''' {{spoiler|1=iJeeves}}:''' Indeed. {{spoiler|[slices Marian in to pieces}}] As a tactic, it leaves something to be desired. }}
* [[Time Travel]]
* [[Took a Level Inin 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
** [[Little Orphan Annie (Comic Strip)|Annie Warbucks]], who inherited her adopted father's arms dealing business
** The Yellow Kid, along with [[Peanuts|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.
Line 133 ⟶ 131:
* [[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 [[Retcon]], 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). It has also been lampshaded a few times by the characters, such as [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20101101.html here]
* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|Jeeves is working with Millennium. }}
** {{spoiler|Then it turns out it's an i-Jin of Jeeves.}}
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Timothy {{spoiler|after becoming the [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Rose Bride]]}}
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: ''Shine'' explores some possible ones, and has given rise to other ones, notably the WMG that Schrodinger {{spoiler|is an I-jin.}} He is in ''Shine'' canon.
* [[Yet Another Christmas Carol]]: The 2009 Christmas storyline, directed at Enrico Maxwell. {{spoiler|Original character Lisa the Angel fills in as the Ghost of Iscariot Past, and [[Sailor Moon|Helios]] substitutes as the Ghost of Iscariot Present. [[The Sandman (Comic Book)|Death]] substitutes as the Ghost of Iscariot Future.}}

Line 143 ⟶ 141:

=== Sailor Hellsing contains examples of: ===
* [[All There in the Manual]]: 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.
* [[Gender Bender]]: Anderson and Pip have both been changed into teenage girls for this comic
* [[Squick]]: When [http://sailorhellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20090916.html it's pointed out] that Integra's pin used to belong to her father, Sailor Ghoul asks if he used to [[Wholesome Crossdresser|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.
 
-----
In additional [[Department of Redundancy Department|addition]] to that, Erin has a third comic on [[Deviant ART]] and rerunning on the main site, [http://eagleofhermes.deviantart.com/ The Eagle of Hermes], a ''[[The Daily Show (TV)|The Daily Show]]'', ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', 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: [[What If]] [[Stephen Colbert]] was a vampire?
 
-----
Line 163 ⟶ 162:
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: 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.])
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In-universe example:
{{quote| '''Bobby:''' You've been a vampire for ''nine years'' and you never read ''Dracula''?}}
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Bob|Everything's Better With Bobby]]
* [[Gangsta Style]]: Heinkel holds the pistol this way when changing targets from Stephen to Jon.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20111007.html Jon and Stephen]. With a healthy dose of [[Ho Yay]], much as Stephen [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|would like to deny it]].
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Stephen, usually a bit of a stubborn ass, but has his Woobie-ish moments, particularly when he was found post-turning, and where his [[Morality Pet]] Jon is concerned.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Integra is now an in-universe example.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Jon seems to be this for Stephen.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Alas, poor Bobby...
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Stephen to Jon
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Seras, she's been seen a couple of times in public, but other than that the public knows little about her, and sees her as more of a symbol than a real person.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Sister Kim for Yumiko.
