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 40:
** 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.
Line 58:
* [[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.
Line 77:
* [[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|Ace]]<ref>Killing a vampire with [[Blatant Lies|so-totally-not-Nitro 9]].</ref>, [[Doctor Who|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 89:
* [[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 116:
** 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 />
Line 125:
* [[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
** [[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 150:

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 164:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In-universe example:
{{quote| '''Bobby:''' You've been a vampire for ''nine years'' and you never read ''Dracula''?}}
* [[Everything'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]].
