Il Capitano is trending right now, but the captain of my mind and heart will always be The Captain, "Hans Günsche,"¹ from Hellsing Ultimate.

¹ Fan given name due to Kohta Hirano's previous work, Desert Guardian, and how the main character, Hans, is a prototype for the werewolf Captain. If I remembered that info correctly.

Lucy meets Van Helsing

from the Milwaukee Ballet's production of Michael Pink's Dracula Luz San Miguel as Lucy Westenra Patrick Howell as Abraham Van Helsing

[spider-xan]

Regarding Mina's description of Dracula and why it's problematic, a good starting point would be to read the Wikipedia article for physiognomy, which is the outdated pseudoscience of face reading that is unfortunately rooted in racism, antisemitism, ableism, etc., and was very popular during the Victorian era as a way to judge moral character based on facial features.

So when Mina says 'His face was not a good face', she is not just saying that Dracula is ugly (though concepts of ugliness and beauty are not value-neutral either), but that she can tell that he is evil based on his facial features; note that one of the facial features she singles out is a 'beaky nose', which comes from Cesare Lombroso's idea that among other traits, hawk-like noses are a marker of criminality on the basis of criminals being evolutionary throwbacks who are less evolved than non-criminals; many of these allegedly 'criminal' and 'degenerate' facial features are obviously racialized and not associated with Gentile whiteness, but in opposition to it.

Stoker was definitely interested in physiognomy and uses it as a narrative device to show how certain heroic characters are intelligent, perceptive, and educated on the latest (pseudo)sciences (the modernity theme again) - namely Mina and Van Helsing, but also Jonathan to a lesser degree; we will definitely see this idea come up several more times, including explicit references to Lombroso himself.

It is also important to remember that linking physical appearance and morality still happens today - think about how many people say they can tell someone is a bad person bc they're ugly or that 'People get the face they deserve' where good people age gracefully and bad people age poorly, even though aging has nothing to do with personal character.

"I ate a cat once," Alucard said matter-of-factly.

Abraham hadn't minded; the old man had never cared whether Alucard devoured the mice roaming the house or the stray cats outside – on the rare occasion the vampire was actually allowed to spend time outside. Cats had become a delicacy at some point, while mice and rats were a welcome diversion to the cold, stale blood in plastic bags.

But that one time he found a cat indoors – a young one at that, the taste was telling –, he terribly upset Abraham and young Arthur. Abraham had scolded the vampire; revoked his permission to roam the common rooms on the ground floor. And young Arthur had been crying for days, mourning the cat. At first, Alucard didn't quite understand why the boy was crying over a cat of all things. They had plenty of those in the neighbourhood, after all. The Hellsing estate wouldn't suffer any losses from a cat less, after all, wasn't Alucard their resident cat, albeit oversized and bipedal? He was much more efficient at keeping the household rat- and mice-free.

But then, after the distraught young Arthur had symbolically buried the cat - there was no body to be buried, after all, since Alucard had devoured it whole -, it dawned on the vampire. It wasn't just any cat. It was the young boy's pet companion, the one that kept the boy's bed warm at night and lulled him to sleep with its purr.

After that, Alucard decided that cats were no longer a delicacy. Abraham's wrath and young Arthur's grief had tarnished their taste; made it bitter with the taste of a grave mistake committed.

Young Qibli:Gran-Pere! is it true?! is it true what the children at school say? that you are mercenary! that you and mama KILL people?

Vulture:oh little Qibli, it is much more than killing people! It has many complicated facets. I once helped topple a fascist south pantalan government in a week! I mean…it was replaced by another in two, but I still got paid

Young Qibli:But Gran-Pere! Mon fellow schoolchildren, they taunt and bully me for it!

Vulture:WAIT QUOI??? HOW ARE YOU NOT THE COOLEST KID IN SCHOOL?!

Who is it who dares to mock you? Is it that son of the butcher jean paul?! Perhaps that little piggy shall find a grenade in his lunchbox, soon as he opens it it will pull the pin

Young Qibli:…please do not kill my friends

Vulture:Oh Mon Cher petit-fils!

IM not going to do it

Young Qibli:…Quoi?

(to present)

Moon:…oh my god???

Qibli:Relax! it was a flash bang!

Moob:why were you french?

Qibli:It was a sandwing trend at the time

I cannot even BEGIN to imagine where this might be from.

Arthur did stab Vampire Lucy's heart, however, just staking the heart doesn't fully kill a vampire, they need to be decapitated, too. Seward followed the staking by cutting Lucy's head off. He killed Vampire Lucy just as much as Arthur did.

So while riding with Quincey, Seward is connected with death as much as Arthur is. And he can sense that they are approaching someone's death. At the same time, Mina (who is on the threshold of death) can sense the coming of the soul that hers is bound to (Jonathan). And Seward, while he can sense it, doesn't realize that he is with the soul who is about to depart (Quincey).

Arthur is ferrying the person who will cut Dracula's head off, and Seward is riding with the person who will stab Dracula's heart. The two people who brought Vampire Lucy's second death are bringing to Dracula (the one who had turned her) the two people who will bring his death.

Entry Six: Date December 16th 1898

The more I discover, the more I wonder. Just what is he? Upon the horrid discovery a few days ago and the sheer differences I keep on finding, I wonder if perhaps I should call him a progenitor. He is the first of his kind that I am aware, the source of this disease, this plague upon the world. The original who spread it to others, both knowingly and unknowingly.

So far, I have been attempting see what makes this Progenitor as I have deemed to call him so different. He certainly more eldritchian than most vampires, even Lucy whose remains I have had exhumed in order to compare.

Fangs seem to be longer from what I can tell in comparing her body to his, and her nails too seemed to be shorter than his. It is possible this is a result of age, but hopefully Lucy can help us once more. Though she is unfortunately quite dead, perhaps I can find a live specimen to compare, because as fascinating as Dracula is, he is not the standard for his kind as I am very quickly realizing.

Wondering if I should try doing a Hellsing Blog based entirely on Abraham Van Hellsing's experiments and research on Alucard. I would attempt to do drawings/sketches of what I imagine the images to be like in his research and to have entries of speculative biology surrounding Alucard. It would be made up of my own theories, but wondering if anyone would be interested in something like that
