#Integra is a good character

Mina's incredible (and underrated) detective prowess would be very useful I bet. Put her on the helm Integra, Van Helsing praised her brains as being above everyone's including himself for a reason.
I honestly can't guess what the chemistry between Integra and Mina would be. Integra doesn't really click with me as a classically heroic character, for all that she does focus on saving humanity from the undead via Alucard and her forces, being the Boss Lady etc etc. She's miles away from being as insidious as an Amanda Waller, but...
The hotel. The fucking hotel will never leave me.
Yes, the order went directly against 'soldiers of the enemy,' but those soldiers had been lied to about who and what they were charging into. Which was obvious even without being a fly on the wall to know their higher-ups had fed them some BS to march them into death and win their own power grab from Millennium. She didn't tell Alucard to 'make it quick' or even just to 'neutralize.' She told him to search and destroy. Folding to Alucard's egging and negging to seem like a Worthy War Commander in the grand scheme~ of the plot
She's not heartless, exactly, but she is arctic and surprisingly quick to breeze past the loss of lives that aren't under her direct care/command. While she might respect Mina's abilities and investigative skills--I wouldn't be surprised if Mina could intuit Millennium's endgame well before the climax could happen--Integra inherited none of her ancestor's warm regard, supposing Abraham van Hel(l)sing had any of the original's tenderness in him (50/50 considering this takes place in aggro horror territory). We can't even say if this universe's Mina played any big role in cornering Dracula; she might just have been a targeted damsel.
All that said, I think Integra would see Mina as another time-displaced bleeding heart with a few useful skills, same as Jonathan. Someone to be an ally at best, a liability at worst. So I don't see her handing over any reins or offering to be co-girlbosses any time soon :c
#Integra is a good character#but not my favorite#Hirano let her look cool a lot and stand imposingly and smoke cigars#she got to shoot a few bad guys including the Major himself!#but the lion's share of development and interesting actions were all Alucard's and occasionally Seras'#I think the story kind of fumbled a lot of her potential to be more than Boss Lady who has cooler/more powerful people do stuff AROUND her#rather than let her really do anything herself without somebody else being the driving muscle/energy#Mina by contrast is ACTIVE#even working within the constraints of being a young woman in the Victorian era#she is hauling ass and making connections and paving the road to victory against Dracula himself#all while having a massively open heart that takes in so many people#like the rest of the original Drac Attack Pack it isn't just the loss of Lucy that drives them#she and Jonathan and Van Helsing and the Suitors all lock down on Thwarting Dracula#because if they just sit back and do nothing then He Wins and Humanity Loses--they became the OG Vampire Hunter Gang out of necessity#and goodwill#whereas Integra kind of just inherits Hellsing and its mission with the same vibe as someone inheriting Dad's job#maybe if we'd gotten scenes where it shows how she's handling the toll of running things; the sacrifices made in blood and its effects#I'd see more chemistry in potentia between her and someone as dynamic as Mina#but as it stands#I think Mina would just be another new accessory#anyway#integra hellsing#mina harker#dracula#hellsing

The Madam's Order
Tumblr media
DISCLAIMER: suicide, mental illness, and questionable dynamics
It was going on another hour of the two that had already passed. 
The garden had been tended to in detail. As usual, Amulya had asked Walter to stay with her for the entirety instead of working on whatever the organization had sent his way. Somehow it felt different. Her pacing was off. There was no eye on efficiency. Her conversation was kept centered around him. Not that he never got how she was feeling well and appreciated the weather; Today, she was very keen on expressing her gratitude for him. As warm as it was to hear such praise from her, it weighed on him. 
The heaviness was becoming unbearable. Growing dread scurried around as he stood outside of her bedroom. In his profession, he knew this feeling wasn’t good to ignore; maybe it would be the same in a domestic situation.
A gentle knock was repeated on the door a few times. No answer. 
“Madam Hellsing,” Walter called out and knocked once more. He leaned his head on the door, pressing his ear against it to see if any sound had been hidden by the well-constructed walls. There was nothing but suffocating silence. A sigh escaped him as if he was preparing to do something terrible.
A click of the doorknob was made as he slowly turned the knob, ready for her to call out for him to wait. Yet he was able to turn it completely and so he pushed the door open to the bedroom. The aroma of Arthur’s cologne mixed with Amulya’s reminded him of the territory he was stepping into. It was just as pristine as it was made to be by maids this morning. Clothes for Amulya had been left out by a maid that weren’t taken with her. He pressed the door closed behind him in case anything were to happen before he began his investigation, starting with the bathroom door that was closed.
“Madam Hellsing,” Walter addressed as he did outside. His pupils flickered to the top of the door. No steam so the shower hadn’t been running for some time. 
“Wa..Walter?” Amulya’s voice hoarsely responded in question. A faint tap and rattle of an object piqued his interest further. 
“Madam Hellsing, is everything alright?” He grabbed the doorknob as he mustered up for the next question as she didn’t answer the first one. “Are you clothed?”
“Not yet, could you please wait outside?” 
Her avoidance of the first question pained his senses. As much as he wanted to listen to her, he couldn’t. Walter hadn’t heard anything break or a fall. he held his breath. He could barter and question her later. 
The door swung open, revealing a frozen Amulya in just a robe. He could barely see what she was holding. Whatever it was, it was hastily shoved into her mouth. He shot forward to pin her to the counter. Amulya whimpered as she was pressed up against the edge of the marbling. Her mouth barely opened for the pressed powder capsule to fall out. The hand that she had used attempted to cover it but was met with an instantaneous grab. By now, her saliva had caused the bitter aftertaste of the pills to fill her mouth, making it almost impossible to go through with it. Despite this, she tried to push Walter off any way she could. Her arms were incapacitated so she resorted to trying to kick him off. No words were exchanged, just a mix of grunts of equal frustration. 
For such a small girl, she was proving to be ferocious. He turned her around in his grasp only for her to try to move forward. Walter responded in pulling her back with everything he had. She must have gone dead weight on him as when she brought him back, he fell against the wall and ended up with her on his lap, sitting up from the ground. Amulya coughed, wheezed, and gagged. The hand that had grabbed one of her hands came off to wrap around her but offered a place for her to spit out what she was housing in her mouth.
With it being the only way to rid herself of the bitter taste, she reluctantly let out the contents in his hands. She coughed a few more times before shivering a little. The Saliva covered half-dissolved tablets were dropped to the side of him. A few wipes of his hand to his pants were made before he wrapped the arm around her. She gave in, leaning back into his embrace. He coiled and tightened around her till there was barely any room for her to adjust herself. He panted with the young lady; his never relaxed as much as hers.
“Did you swallow anything?” 
She shook her head. A sigh billowed from him. His head went back while his eyes closed for a few seconds of blissful relief.
Soon enough he was brought back. But there was nothing to say. Nothing to do. The pleasure and satisfaction of having her in his arms with the bleak reality of what had just occurred created a cocktail that bit him for each thought he had about her. 
Fortunately, Amulya did not move. She didn’t push him away. Instead, she allowed them to stay this way. It was only an hour and a half later that she was able to muster up words with a parched throat. 
“You’re going to suffocate me…” she roused Walter from his trance.
She was right. It had never occurred to him how tightly he had bound her to himself. For her comfort, he loosened his arms enough for her to move, not to leave. Millions of questions swarmed his mind and yet he couldn’t make anything else. If one came up, more piled on. It would have made any incomprehensible if he ever tried to express anything to her. Suddenly she started to pull away. Not far, but enough for Walter to reach out for her to sit back down. It didn’t feel pathetic. Not after what he could have lost. Begging her to stay was all he wanted from her. His wish wasn’t ignored, Amulya had turned to face him. Even if he had caught her doing something so shameful, not even a single tear had formed. Yet when she saw him, her eyes seemed to gloss over with an incomprehensible amount of pity. 
Her palm was placed on his cheek. The contact made him relative how much moisture had formed on his skin. 
He had been crying. 
“Walter,” Amulya’s voice caressed him in ways he couldn’t describe. The mention of his name welled so much up in him that he could only let out a croak of recognition. What followed was a sob. Like he was a child, Amulya took his face and pushed him into her chest. Her arms cradled him with immense affection that only unraveled him further. Whatever sounds came out were muffled by the fabric he had been buried into. It was something to be grateful for. He had not been seen like this by a person, a woman, someone who cared for him for nearly a decade. But unlike those times, this grief was much more complex. 
Part of him felt foolish for letting his mask shatter in front of someone he wanted to see him as a pillar while the other was ecstatic to even be acknowledged in such a vulnerable position. A hand gripped onto the skirt of her robe, threatening the integrity of her maidenhood but she never budged. A peck was placed on the top of his head, making him whimper. A hand smoothed out his hair that had been left in disarray. Another kiss to his forehead was made, then another. He would have been melting with a shit-eating grin in any other case but only managed to barely hook up the corners of his mouth to face her. His eyes were still damp, making the light around her blur and appear as a halo. It was fitting for such a woman. Her expression still remained serious as their exchange lingered.
“I’m sorry for frightening you.” 
It was genuine but not something he’d forgive. He was happy to at least be able to feel her. He wrapped his arms around her waist. It was certainly an inappropriate position to be caught in if anyone dared to walk in. Walter felt more faith that they’d be left to their accord. It was later in the evening, most employees had gone to eat or left for home by now. 
“Are you okay?” She bothered once more. 
“I’m fine, are you?” To her surprise, he pulled her waist toward him with a tighter hold on her. She winced at this, making him quickly loosen. Though there was an obvious disappointment in having to do so. 
“I’m okay, just sore from earlier.” 
Ah. 
He had been using all of his strength on her earlier. She had to have been stricken from being handled in such a way.
“Apologies.”
“No worries,” she gave him a reassuring smile, “I know you’re just doing your job…I told you I like that about you.” Irritation spawned at this. 
She did say that. 
Numerous compliments and she had gushed over how he had always gone out of her way to protect her regardless of the threat. It could have been a car or a person, but her own being turned out to be the biggest danger to her. 
“Why did you do that?” Spawned from the exhausted butler. The question was blunt but laced with affection and concern. She didn’t answer for a strenuous amount of time. 
“I’m not sure,” she responded in a whisper. She spoke up a little louder after, “It felt right in the moment.”
“You could have told me.” Amulya frowned deeply at this. Walter was even surprised at how she condemned him at this. It was true. With wishful thinking, she had wanted him to forget the fact. The statement loaded her with more questions that she wanted answers to. 
“What should I have told you?” 
“That you weren’t feeling well, that you didn’t want to be alone.” 
Her lids lowered. 
“I did want to be alone,” she sliced him with this reply. “But,” she paused as she pulled away, leaving him with no fabric to press his face into. “I am glad you found me.” This nod to him saving her felt cold. What he said did feel self-centered. She didn’t seem as thrilled as the words entailed. He had seen this side of her before but it still felt like such a stark contrast. He had been given more than he ever could as her butler in this very moment and he still felt robbed.
Amulya saw someone who looked utterly distraught with what she was doing. Her reasoning was just as she said. Nothing more, nothing less. Sure, she had reasons that had piled into the decision. Being caught felt much worse.
“Are you going to tell Arthur?” She asked in a hushed voice. 
Not exactly. He didn’t want to. Even so, it wasn’t like the other times. Her being unable to leave the bedroom or having crying spells. Misguided thoughts that he reassured her weren’t what she wanted. It was so extreme and he wanted only to keep it between them.
“How would you like to proceed?” He had started to put on that same mask as her attendant while still keeping true to whatever desires they both held.
“Without his knowledge,” she answered as soon as he finished. A spark of satisfaction came from this. It was a promise he could keep. “Those pills were his, you will secure him a new bottle.” Walter took all this in as easily as it had come out. Such a warm girl to be so cold and calculated amazed him. Not that anyone would become suspicious of him going to get more medicine for Arthur’s liver cirrhosis. Arthur wouldn’t notice unless he chose today to be perceptive. He wouldn't.
“I’ll handle it, Amulya,” This somehow made her smile. He was brought into her arms once more. Walter reciprocated and fell back into cuddling with her. She pushed her face into the crook of his neck. He couldn’t help but feel a little in danger but his brain was too stirred to put up that wall he had put up despite his wants. 
“You’re my favorite, you know that?” A familiar warm feeling rose to his cheeks.
“In what way?” He hated himself for asking. She giggled at this.
“Walter~” Fuck. “You’re my favorite butler.” Oh. It still felt nice regardless. She began to rub his back. Anything more would make him lose himself in her “I appreciate you always looking out for me,” she cooed in the tone she had used in the garden.
“Please don’t leave me like that,” slipped out of him. She stopped and her hand fell. Walter cursed himself for letting such a weak statement leave him. 
“I won’t.” Her speedy answer took him off guard. It sounded like something she’d say. It didn’t matter if it was fake. “I never want to see you cry like that…” 
Amulya broke so suddenly. She began to apologize but never amounted to anything comprehensible from being mixed in with her frequent gasps, shaking, and weeping. The thing he was able to make out was at the end of her attempt to amend what she put onto him was,
“Please don’t tell Arthur.”

I've already posted about this but people really do see a character in head to toe pink with full makeup take off the skirt and lace trim for 0.007 seconds and start claiming she's too butch. And I'm saying character but I've seen girls on tiktok saying they were sooo masculine for wearing pink jeans and a ruffled blouse with only three accessories, lipstick & mascara vs their usual full face 3 layered dresses handbag and 6 pieces jewelry on every available limb.

Hey, would you be able to do some Dad Alucard headcanons? He’s my parental comfort character and i love him for that.. 🖤
No idea if you wanted the reader included in this in any way so this is kept very vague-
TW: Alucard being fluffy and concerned he isn´t good enough of a father figure, mentions of Alucards sad past <;/3
------------------------------------------------------- Dad! Alucard
He? A father? You must be mistaken. He could never... not again... could he? Most likely he could. Most people forget that he had a son once! I doubt he ever forgets that he once had a family but that is whole other story
Very uncertain what the hell he is even supposed to do, tries his best to remember what it was all those years ago but it´s been a while
Besides back then he was a king, I sincerely doubt he had much time for his child even do I DO think he tried his best
Definitely is going to ask for help whoever he can find, no matter if Walter, Integra, Seras- HELL he would even ask Pip (even if he would have to be very desperate to ask HIM for advice, he is an arrogant man after all)
I think a tiny baby would overwhelm him the most but once the child grew a little and reached like the stage where they can start to run around and maybe even babble away? I think there he is slowly growing into it
He can definitely keep a child busy for HOURS on no end, even if some activities are a bit... dangerous
Someone take the gun away from the child
Of course it isn´t loaded! No bullets in there but it still is doomed to give someone a goddamn heartattack walking in on the child sitting on Alucards lap, playing with a gun
Also he´s a quick learner and a very intelligent man, you just need to give him some time and explain him the right things and BAM he´s gonna be very decent
Might be overwhelmed with strong emotional displays but only because he himself has no clue how to handle his own emotions
But he would never judge, he´s old, a shapeshifting vampire who did many questionable things- once the child hits puberty and starts to just experiment with their identity he´s just gonna be all supportive
Even if he doesn´t understand all terms or explanations he´s just going to make sure his child is safe (as safe as a child of Alucard can be anyway) and enjoys themselves, he doesn´t really care about anythingelse
Oh and if the child ever finds their heart being broken... well Alucard can definitely can take care of that asshole...
Overall amazing dad 11/10. Always does his best, just sometimes a bit confused what the fuck is even going on. Never judges and definitely always willing to give his child a hug, especially when he has no clue what to say to comfort them properly.
-------------------------------------------------------
Check out my blog for more Hellsing headcanons! I even have a masterlist, fancy, I know Like, Reblog, Comment- honestly do whatever you want, I just hope ya enjoyed this!

I recently bought the jp volumes of Hellsing along with the guidebook, and since I'm reading the series in its native language for the first time I might as well share some random things that stood out to me in no particular order.
This isn't meant to be an analysis of translation differences, I'm too lazy for that. Also it's been 12 years since I've watched the anime and read the low quality fan scans of the manga so some of these comments are just "Lol, forgot this was a thing"
Volume 1
Tumblr media
... I really want to know who this guy is at the beginning, yelling at Alucard in overly familiar language to "Get your shit together!" and "You're the only one we can count on!!". We know from the style of speech that it's a dude, probably just some Hellsing rando, and maybe it's not all that strange since he has probably been working with the same soldiers for years--but it's still funny.
"I know, it's just so nice out :("
Tumblr media
..The way "HELLSING Organization" is spelled out like this reminds me that apparently the name is supposed to be an acronym. No really.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
God they're so silly.
Now that I think about it, the only thing Seras has done this chapter since being turned into a vampire is say "I'm sorry" over and over.... girl you got shot in the lung, why are you apologizing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not a huge difference, but what Integra actually says here is "Leaving a corpse here for 20 years... You're a terrible person too, Father" and not "What were you thinking, Father?" as the Dark Horse translation suggests (note the lack of question mark in the raw version). I thought that might be of interest to some.
Something else I thought was interesting is the first line Alucard ever says to Integra, and how uncharacteristically polite he sounds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
O-kega wa gozaimasenka- That's two honorific 御's back to back! (He even said them in kanji, even Walter isn’t that straightlaced and he’s literally the butler.) This is also the only time Alucard uses this overly flowery gentlemanly language with her, and good thing too because it would be so annoying if he spent the whole manga ending his sentences with ~gozaimasu.
What I'm trying to get at is, after seeing this sentence in the Japanese version, I'm like 100% sure he actually heard her when she was mumbling to herself about hoping to find a knight in shining armor, and he was totally going the extra mile in playing into that role for their first encounter. Which is kind of sweet.
Tumblr media
Lol they misspelled Alucard on the top left... or rather, they incorrectly spelled it right?
One would normally expect Alucard to be written アルカード, and indeed pixiv dict lists アーカード as a misspelling (the u sound is weak in Japanese, so it's easy to mishear arukādo as ākādo). Hirano was definitely aware of the correct spelling though, since he used it in the pilot chapter and in his old character sheets. It was only when the manga officially began that he switched to the アーカード spelling. I doubt it was because of copyright issues because there is already a long precedent of vampire characters named アルカード in various old manga, OVA, and games in Japan that have coexisted without issue (like this guy Hirano mentions in volume 1's afterword).
Most likely Hirano simply thought it looked better, or was a means of differentiating his character from the others somehow. It certainly makes life easier for Japanese fans searching for fanart since アーカード is only going to bring up Hellsing and not the Castlevania character.
Jan Valentine even pokes fun at the spelling discrepancy later in volume 2, but since there wasn't a good way of expressing this in English it was left untranslated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Speaking of spelling inconsistencies, there's a lot of minor details I'm noticing now, like half the time the furigana for 吸血鬼 is written バンパイア and the other half it's ヴァンパイア... anyway)
Tumblr media
Um, just noticed literally everyone's wearing glasses What should I do
Hirano's habit of jotting random comments underneath his panels is one of the underrated perks of reading the manga
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Dark Horse translation almost makes it sound like she's looking forward to seeing this battle play out, while in the Japanese she simply sounds apprehensive. Almost as if she's worried about them? And she's going out on the field personally to make sure nothing bad happens? Aww
Ok this is a weird tangent, but I just noticed the scans of the Dark Horse version I've been looking at use a slightly larger image range than the Japanese version does. It was only noticeable when I got to this part:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second image is what the Japanese version of the scan looks like and I can confirm that this is what it looks like in my physical volume as well. You shouldn't be seeing the messy borders of the inking on the bottom like that.
Tumblr media
Manga manuscripts are set up so that there are a few millimeters of bleed border around each page. You're supposed to color and line all the way up to (4) while keeping in mind that printing and paper cutting may result in the image being trimmed up to (3).
Either Hirano didn't color his lines all the way to (4) (this man has been drawing manga for years but this is Hirano we're talking about so it's very possible), or Dark Horse didn't honor the original bleed borders of the manuscript. I'm kind of leaning towards the former since there was a Hellsing exhibit in Japan a few years back where you could look at Hirano's original manuscripts and there's one where you can clearly see that he spilled a mug of tea or coffee across the entire page
Anyway, it's weird, and I'm curious to see if someone that owns a physical copy in English can confirm whether theirs actually looks like that. It's volume 1, page 141.

Me and my sister watched Hellsing together. Here's her opinion on the characters
- Alucard: "He's a cunt, but he's entertaining. I'd probably pay to see him in a strip club. I didn't like him and his shit-eating grin and 'master' bullshit at first, but he grew on me quick and i don't like that he grew on me. He's a complex character, and he's hot asf when he cries. Also I wish we'd seen his Dracula form for longer; that was awesome. Him and Anderson had a thing going on."
- Seras: "Didn't really mind her at first, but liked her after she drank blood. Her transformation and the guns are really fucking cool. I didn't like her voice and her whining at first but it got better after a few episodes. I like her when her personality became a little bit more spunky. Her story's fucked up."
- Integra: "Absolute bad bitch. Her attitude reminds me of myself so idk if I should like it or hate it, she's got a lot of pride which I respect. Really human and I like it, she takes no one's shit and she's a badass. Didn't even FLINCH when she got her eye shot out. Girlboss. She gives me ace vibes also."
- Walter: "I liked him, he was funny. And then he betrayed everyone and became emo. He gave good advice, and he was cool as hell with that wise older veteran vibe. I'm disappointed in him, but the plot twist was actually good. You'd notice the signs if you suspected him from the beginning."
- Pip: "He's FINE. I'd braid his hair any day. I was in love and then I mourned. I'm widowed. He was hilarious, plus his voice actor nailed the French. My favorite character. Screeched when he came back. He's a good leader and I loved his speeches, also his death made me cry. And I don't often cry when watching anime."
- Anderson: "kinda neutral. I didn't like him at first, he was obnoxious as fuck. Then he respected women and opposed Maxwell and his orders so he grew in my esteem a bit. His character is cool as fuck tho. I wish he didn't turn into a monster, he fell to the same level as Alucard. It's like human greed or desperation for power. Him and Alucard had a thing going on."
- Enrico Maxwell: "Lucius Malfoy. I hate him but not the one I hate most."
- Heinkel & Yumie: "Really like these two lesbians. So cool and I respect their resolve, especially Heinkel's. Rip Yumi. You were cool. Heinkel being intersex is a dope detail, she's very androgynous too. I like their designs."
- The major: "Augustus Gloop? I like the fact he refused vampirism, that was cool, but he's an actual fucking sociopath and I hate him"
- The Captain: "Ngl, I actually find him quite dope, aside from the nazi thing. Literally no one respected him, that shit had me crying. His face is pretty and his tits are big, even if he looks a bit goofy at times. Wish we'd seen more of him. I felt kinda bad when he got defeated."
- Schrödinger: "I want this thing dead"
- Rip van winkle: "She gives me the vibes of a Dr Seuss character."
- Zorin: "Bleach Ichigo knockoff. Fuck this bitch in particular I hate her"
- The Valentine brothers: "A slav squat necrophile and his gay brother that used to be a runway model but got cancelled after a scandal"
Overall: A hit, neither of us expected her to like it. She likes the political and literary aspects, and also finds the characters interesting. She doesn't really know how to feel about the ending; she considers it realistic and a good end, but she wished it was more epic. But from a writing perspective it's good. Also she lowkey wished Alucard would turn Integra into a vampire, just because it would be cool. Now we send each other memes about it. She calls Nendocard a whore when she passes by him, but says she'd buy a Pip nendo in a heartbeat

Yes Hirano's super weird with the "vampirism happens only with virgins" rule when it's decidedly not a thing in Dracula's vampirism lore. (Though not as weird as what he did to Mina, who deserves to crawl back to life and murder everyone in the whole manga for it)
True on both points.
Unfortunately, you've activated a mental trap card and now I'm about to explode into a barely-related tangent. Please stand by for hazy Hellsing spoilers to anyone who wants to look away.
The saddest thing about Hellsing is that it's one of the least headache-inducing Dracula-adjacent pieces of media I can think of.
Even with how Hirano draws Seras Victoria and That Scene with Rip Van Winkle. Even with his ~creative~ take on Vlad the Impaler. Even with what he retroactively does to Mina's remains. Even with Abraham van Helsing once again getting shoved through the No Really Honest for Real He was a Super Cool Occult Magic Man who was Definitely Solely Responsible for Taking Dracula Down!!1! filter (with Jonathan and Mina getting a whole single panel together, ooh, aah). Even with the nitpick of turning Helsing into Hellsing just because of the Edgy+ factor.
Even with all of that, I can still genuinely say I enjoy it.
First, because Alucard and company are there to kill Nazis and generally monstrous people who signed up to get superpowers to be even bigger monsters. I love seeing them get supernaturally woodchipper'd. Never disappoints.
Second, because Alucard/Dracula is--and this is vital--still a bastard. One who, via the lens of how the Hel(l)sing family did their murky magical experiments on him, got juiced up into the Mega Shounen Horror Ultrabadass version of himself...and promptly got put on a magic leash so that he could only bare his teeth at the command of his human Hel(l)sing master. And for decades, pre-Integra, he was left to wither and rot in a windowless cell. Waiting to be dusted off.
It's a unique psychological place to force the asshole into. It doesn't make him a good guy, but I'd say it makes him a better character. One who pushes the limits of how much of a monster he can be without breaking the tethers on him and his power. Even when the inevitable Count Fuckula ooh~ sexy sexypire~ glaze gets applied with his interactions with Integra, it's still shown how fucking aggravating and uninvited he is with it. How much he uses it as just another nettle. Just as he once used an admittedly classier/classic gothic predatory menace on Jonathan, Lucy, and Mina in the novel.
When the big climax comes and he gets to flex all of his bloated powers, he's reached an internal growth point where he, at the very least, takes a moment to acknowledge Integra and Seras as worthy of respect rather than just irritating or deriding them respectively.
As an aside, despite her obvious Fanservice Girl position, I do have to grudgingly give Hirano points for how he portrays Seras Victoria's position with Alucard. This is the first (and I think only!) time I've ever seen a Dracula turn some voluptuous babe and then...not make advances on her. Before or after. He turned her to save her life after shooting through her to kill the vampire at her back. If anything, this is the first time we see any form of Dracula take a non-sexual, strangely paternal approach to the assumed vampire bride of a story.
And then there's the matter of Alexander Anderson. He and the Iscariot organization are absolutely bristling with what-the-fuckery and religion-aesthetic weirdness I don't have the skill to untangle. But the set up between Anderson and Alucard at the climax by itself is an interesting thing for how it shows a kind of logical (by manga standards) extreme of Dracula looking peaceful in the novel's climax; how he died and turned to dust with serenity. He welcomed it.
Alucard/Dracula, for all his glee at being a sadistic overpowered monster, welcomes Anderson's attempt to kill him while the man is still human. He's eager to be slain by a righteous mortal hand--perhaps he always had been since that Transylvanian sunset when he was left paralyzed, but not put down. Just turned into an experiment and an attack dog for the century and change to come. And when Anderson resorts to inhumanity, to becoming a horror like him rather than remaining the human hero who rightfully slays the monster, it makes him livid. Heartbroken.
There's just a lot to pick apart with this version of Dracula that I find worth sitting through the nonsense for. He isn't watered down into a cartoon. He isn't turned into a wink-at-the-camera Casanova. He isn't ~doing it all for love~. He's still fucking Dracula. But a Dracula who's been dragged by the hair through an intriguing rock tumbler of a history and forced to play with a cast of characters that makes me want to see what happens next rather than roll my eyes at yet another cookie cutter DRACULA WAS SO AWESOME-COOL AND THE REAL ANTIHERO ALL ALONG AND ALL THE GIRLS WANTED HIM AND THE HUMAN HEROES WERE ACTUALLY ALL LAME OR SECRETLY EVIL narrative.
It's a bloodstained bullet-riddled eldritch undead fever dream.
All that and it has a Dracula who eats Nazis.
I'll take that shit and Crispin Freeman's velvet voice acting in a heartbeat over 90% of Dracula media that's been squatted out over the past 126 years.

How they make Breakfast
In response to @gothicchippy , how the people of the Hellsing Organisation and Father Anderson make breakfast! Let me know if there should be a part two!
Requested: I am going to tsay that's a yes
Warnings: Mentions of blood, blood drinking, killing people, and the mention of scars
Characters: Father Anderson, Alucard, Sir integra, Seras, Walter, Pip Bernadotte
Father Anderson:
Tumblr media
Seeing as he seems to take care of the children back at the orpahange in Italy, it seems like he would be well versed in some good breakfast making. He would let you help make breakfast and his specialt is an italian breakfast which is simple and consists of yogurt which he would take teh time to make himself, jam and bread and fluffy fresh baked criossants. He lets you help out and will try a breakfast that you might have in mind. He keeps it light and healthy for the kids making sure they are taken care of and raised healthy. He has quite the skill in the kitchen and often times he lets you relax with him ot trace the scrs on his hands as he waits for somthing to cook or bake.
Alucard:
Tumblr media
A morning with him isn’t rare though don’t expect it to be bathed in sunlight and giggles. The last time Alucard had human food was…a long time to best put it. He never had to cook anything because his food of choice is blood and Walter took care of all the cooking for the Hellsings. Instead you take it upon yourself to cook instead, though he is never far from you offering to help we’re he can. He’ll crack eggs or toast bread, but after the first few times of trying this little endeavor you learned not to let him man the spices.
Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing
Tumblr media
She spends her days holed up in her office most time taking care of her work and looking at the papers she is being sent. Reports from all over the UK of many new young kings appear and in quick succession. Typically she could manage at least toast and Walter always made her tea, but lately even that is left wasted at the table as she works into the late hours. Without much luck and knowing you’re u favorable of her less than healthy eating habits, Walter asks you to coax her into eating breakfast. And you happily oblige, opting for a less American options, you took to fried mushroom, bacon, sausage, and nook and cranny. It was funny, she had no idea how to cook but the moment she was convinced to have breakfast with you and you asked her to cook she smiled and confident as ever she said,
“If I can’t learn how to cook for you, then I can’t call myself your lover now can I?”
With the assistance of Walter you end up at the desired breakfast and enjoy it on the terrace.
Seras
Tumblr media
As part of trying to keep her humanity, Seras makes it a point to cook you breakfast almost every morning. Oftentimes you wake up to a bit of juice with some eggs and bacon or the very common beans and toast. When Seras isn’t out working and manages to stay up enough for you two to make breakfast. With a bit of convincing and a promise to clean anything used, she was able to get the kitchen every once in a while, with this she takes you into the kitchen and of course, you help prepare. Washing your hands consists of soap ending up in someone's hair or on their clothes and plenty of goofing around, after, she’ll bring out the sausage, eggs, potatoes, and cabbage and let you take care of the cooking while she peels the potatoes and dices them up. When everything is complete the two of you will sit down in her room and eat chatting about what you had ready for the day while she whines about Alucard or talks about the mission from the previous night. It’s pleasant and pretty sweet as she compliments you on how you can cook. As you eat, she sometimes wishes that she could to, that it didn’t have to be blood.
Walter
Tumblr media
Being the top butler in the Hellsing manor, Walter has no trouble making a wonderful breakfast and is capable of making food from around the world. His memory may be a little behind him but he is still capable of making breakfast. He prefers to make the breakfast himself and will often serve you whatever he had made for Sir Integra that morning but if you request something different he is more than happy to oblige. He makes you bubble and squeak most mornings because it is simple enough to make and retains heat more so even if you wake up late it’s warm enough for you to enjoy it. On the chances where Sir Integra is out for the morning or someone else, Alucard, has taken care of serving her breakfast, he will take the time to teach you how to make a light pastry for breakfast.
Tumblr media
Pip isn’t one for extravagant meals or something expensive, he’s still a mercenary. However, he does have a taste for the more expensive tasting things so in true french fashion he opts for a light pastry instead. If he is strapped for time then a bit of baguette and some fruit jelly works just fine for the both of you. Other times, if you and him are feeling especially patient you manage to properly make a pastry , while waiting, Pip will pull you into a dance leading you around the kitchen or tell you jokes or stories from his time some years ago overseas. It always comes out a little under or over done, not that the two of you mind.

Hello, I wanted to ask if it was possible to have a Headcannons of Alucard x mute Reader, please. I love what you do :)
Due to my background with deafness and depression, I have had periods in my life where I was selectivley mute for several months at a time, so I can really relate to this one! I'll give it my best shot.
Alucard With a Mute S/O
In Alucard's mind, he has a mental list of every human in his unlife that dictates remembering by name and face, and then a lower list of those he simply passes by on a day-to-day basis.
And as Walter's new apprentice, you had found yourself placed in that latter list.
It wasn't from lack of trying, mind you, you have been attempting to get the handsome vampire to notice you for some time. Unfortunatly, without a voice to make yourself heard, Alucard has simply brushed you by with every interaction, never sticking around long enough for you to wave a "hello" or try to show him something you find interesting.
He's an eccentric creature, you understand, but that made it no less frustrating to be ignored when you were always by Walter or Sir Integra's side.
While usually on the sidelines, you begin to request more advanced jobs from Walter, which are usually assigned to himself. Things like delivering Alucard and Seras's blood bags, and cleaning the Jackel and the Casull before missions. Walter was hesitant, given Alucard's track record for tormenting new staff, but he admired your courage none-the-less and allowed you to do as you pleased.
Once you began to be seen in Alucard's peripheral more and more often, you knew that it was only a matter of time before he tried to pull some shit on you. But you were prepared.
Working under Walter and Sir Integra has its perks, including learning about all of Alucard's usual shenanigans. Apparently, his ultimate goal is always to get a good scream out of someone, or at least really piss them off. So you were already one step ahead of the game.
Centipedes appearing in your bedsheets? Gross, but you obviously don't say anything of it, and choose to sleep on the couch instead.
Dead WW2 soldier in the utility closet? It made you jump, but that was about it. Once you poke it with a broom, it dissipates into a pile of black mist.
Extra blood and guts all over the Jackel and Cassull? This is why Covid gave us masks and rubber gloves.
While you had hoped to gain Alucard's respect, or at some point even his affections, in the end all you managed was to make him pissed and thuroughly confused. You haven't made a peep once, and it was wholly unnatural.
Alucard eventually confronts you on your way to Sir Integra's office, materializing through the wall and pinning you against it in frustration. You are visibly startled, but still silent as always while looking up at the beautiful No-Life-King.
"What is the matter with you?" he glowers down at you. "Am I a joke to you? A mere inconvenience?"
You continue to look at him with wonder in your eyes, admiring his sharp fangs and impressive stature. "Now you don't deem me worthy of a single word? I should tear you to threads and feed you to my hound."
Now that catches your attention. He doesn't know? Seriously?
You lift your hand, squeezing it between you and Alucard's impressive chest, and tap your throat a couple of times while shaking your head.
You see Alucard's eyes widen in recognition, standing motionless against you for a few more moments, before a wide smile spreads across his face. He throws his head back in laughter, moving away from you to throw his hands on his chest in disbelief.
After that precarious interaction, you finally found yourself on Alucard's radar, just like your superiors. Your confidence grows with every moment he spends with you, and you get to be more bold in your interactions.
You use your silent character to your advantage. Sometimes while serving Sir Integra with Alucard around, you'll stand behind her and copy her movements and sour expression. It gets a chuckle out of Alucard every time, admiring the balls you have to do that right behind your boss.
While in meetings, the both of you make a game out of talking without words. You frown and hook your finger over your top lip, making fun of Sir Irons' new bushy moustache. Alucard would raise his thumb and pinky finger in the air and motion it towards his mouth, mocking the drunkard old man who slurs through his report. It earns you both a heated glare from Sir Integra, but you have yet to get caught otherwise.
You thought it would bother him more that you could not talk back to him, but you quickly learn that it has been a good while since Alucard had someone who would simply listen.
He's a servant and a weapon, and while he is free to speak, it isn't as if anyone besides Seras ever heed's his words. You are a welcome change, eager and willing to listen to him drawl on about any old thing. But to you, it isn't drawl. His stories are enthralling, his opinions fascinating, and old soul never ceases to entertain you when he speaks of his past.
While you are rarely ever able to contribute to the conversation, the both of you find contentment in each others company. It's been so long since someone actually wanted to spend time with you.
Alucard learns about you little-by-little. Where you came from, why you're here, why you cannot speak, and how you get by without a voice. Now you feel like you're listened to, and you don't even make a sound. What a world this creature is bringing you into.
It isn't long before the two of you attached at the hip, and you found Alucard beginning to return your subtle affections. While you are without words, he finds poetry in your companionship and song in your smile. The both of you are built to break each others boundaries and discover something new every day.

Hellsing oc lmao ((more abt her under cut))
Tumblr media
Part 1 ⚬ ⚬ ⚬ Part 1½ ᶻ 𝘇 𐰁
((side note; Before I start, I dunno anything about skinbenders if it’s an actual thing, I just got the name from a comic book character and then just freestyling the rest, and my writing is horrible.))
//ability//
Calico can shapeshift into much more than just animals or human. she can shapeshift her whole, or part of her body into whatever she wants, objects, weapons, animal-like, anything she wants. for an average skinbender, it’s easy to spot them through their disguises, they always look deranged, or something’s just off and inhuman about them. but not Calico, She’s always flawless with her shapeshifting ability and that fact does give her a bit of an ego. Calico has to wear one’s skin in order to shift into what she wants, so does that also mean she consumes scraps in order to shapeshift into an object? Maybe…
\\Likes \ hobbies\\
⟡ Using her shifting ability, Calico loves to terrify the soldiers around Hellsing with her body horror, and Seras is definitely her favorite to scare, she would stand in dark corners and just stare. But unfortunately ((or fortunately ?)) the only people that wouldn’t fall for her antics is Alucard and Integra, makes sense because Integra had to deal with Alucard within the second half of her childhood so she should be used to it at this point. and I’m sure Alucard vampire senses would know Calico is there before she even get to do anything.
⟡ shifting into a cat and pretty much doing whatever the fuck she wants.
⟡ joining Hellsing was just like a retirement for Calico, doing random activities around the mansion while also becoming a vampire Hunter to satisfy her animalistic nature to kill. crocheting, bone collecting, gardening, just to name a few of her random activities, but her favorite out of all is baking, and sharing her baked goods to hellsing while they’re completely oblivious rather or not if she ever put anything in the food they’re eating, and she haven’t... yet.
⟡ Women. ((Not in that way))
((ok maybe a little in that way..))
//Dislikes//
⟡ Bald people.
((k here some concept))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
\\The character\\
⟡ relaxed, serene, insensitive, sadomasochistic, two-faced, extremely kind when she feels like it, can be manipulative at times, and a challenge to provoke.
⟡ Calico speaks with a lot of hand gestures, and even touch the person she’s talking to, she does not acknowledge personal space, or possibly doesn’t even care. Her voice is usually soft, calm and almost robotic in someway, with a Chinese Mandarin accent, but her voice does change when she’s in her original form, it’s like a raspy, loud whisper. Calico has no filter, she would announce how ugly a baby is, in public, in front of the parents.. or casually ask a person why are they ugly, or bald. in other words she will say shit that probably shouldn’t be said out loud, or say what everybody in the room is thinking out loud in an awkward situation as another example and all with a small smile remaining on her face.
⟡ and there’s other times she’ll just stand there like a statue if anyone isn’t Interacting with her or just doesn’t have anything else to do.
//more random stuff abt this character//
⟡ Skinbenders aren’t exactly born with a pacific sex or gender, all their genitals pretty much the same and can be used the same way as both human male and female genitals, in other words, you could breed or be bred by them. ((WTF DID I JUST TYPE IN BRO 😭)) what I’m trying to get at is Calico is technically a trans woman if you think about it.
⟡ Calico forgets to blink sometimes, just putting that there.
⟡ ((I have this weird obsession with what a character bedroom would look like, so best believe I’m gonna explain what her bedroom looks like,)) most of her room is completely normal, a dresser she never felt the need to use, a vanity and shelves occupied with her small animal skull collection but what sticks out the most is instead of having a bed she has a nest in the size of an average king size bed made from majority of blankets and pillows she have stolen around the mansion all occupying in the corner of her room, she could be very protective of her nest, only allowing the people she trust the most to even be near, aka Seras, Calico has tried inviting her master Integra into her nest, but was always rejected.. so that’s why Calico has taken upon herself to settle for claiming her master's bed instead.
⟡ Most of her clothing is made of her flesh.
⟡ Calico is not completely emotionless she can make other facial expressions, a small smile is just her default / resting face. 
⟡ If Calico actually labeled her identity, she would be an aromantic, pansexual, trans woman. but she doesn’t feel the need to label it, so you would never catch her calling herself these things.
⟡ Calico doesn’t really see people as, well.. people. So this is how she view the main four !!
Integra ((But Calico personally calls her ‘my master’))- Calico actually respects her authority and probably the only persons boundaries she would take into consideration. Also silly British hehehehe.
Alucard - Calico sees him as some vampiric Manwhore. But they’re civil with each other, they like to have conversations and even sometimes play chess together.
Seras ((but Calico insist on calling her by her last name, Victoria.)) - ah she absolutely adore her, Calico would have her attend with her hobbies if available. Calico treats Seras as like she’s a new puppy for her. So in case you haven’t noticed she’s obviously the favorite.
Walter - twink.
((that’s all for now!! this may have some edits since I’m never satisfied with any writing I do, and I will be making a part two lololololo.))
((Did I choose this silly cat video in particular because it’s a Calico? Yes, yes I did exactly that.))
