Dame Integra♟️

Alucard: Oi, mom. I read that capsaicin makes your mouth feel like it's burning because it increases your nerve sensitivity to heat, and menthol works by doing the same shit in cold!

TJ: Huh... if you eat a habbanero pepper and then chew a bunch of breath mints they'll cancel each other out, right?

*10 Minutes later*

TJ, barging into the conference room: Hey! Guess what hellfire tastes like!

Integra:

The table:

Alucard: So it didn't cancel each other out...?

TJ with tears on her face: No...

Round 1 - Side B

Propaganda below ⬇️

Father Anderson

He’s probably on some kind of crack during the entirety of the series, I literally don't remember any aspects of him other than the fact that he just goes “AMENNNN” sometimes and has a habit of stabbing the shit out if anything that isn’t catholic. He’s the founder of deranged catholic bastard gaming, he has to be.

Semi immortal scottish priest who works for the vatican's secret vampire killing order. He can carry an absurd number of bayonets on his person and teleport using bible pages. Hates the protestants and has beef with Dracula at the point that while they are both fighting against the army of nazi vampires who are invading London he tries to kill him because Dracula makes himself vulnerabile. He's more than ready to lead a crusade against England but when his boss (who Anderson himself raised) admits that it's for a personal power grab and not for any kind of religious reason he dosen't hesitate to kill him in cold blood. Eventually dies after becoming an holy abomination by stabbing his hearth whit a piece of the cross

He’s so out of his mind he battles jacked up twink Count Dracula, AKA Alucard with bayonets. Not a rifle, just bayonets. He’s merciless, constantly spouting off bible quotes and speaking of his hate for Protestants. He’s a member of the Judas Iscariot Organization, Vatican Section XIII, within the Irish Catholic Church. He becomes so obsessed with his desire to kill the Vampire Alucard, formerly Dracula, he impales himself through the heart with the Nail of Helena in order to transform into a humanoid monster of holy thorns. Though his attempts fail, as Alucard rips his heart out and returns him to dust, Anderson is described as “his beloved rival”. He is complex, badass and wickedly devout.

Since Integra is a dirty protestant, i'm adding the actual catholics in the mix instead.

I’m sure you’ve gotten him by now but just so you know, this man fights Dracula on the regular for the Catholic Church and says “Amen” like a lunatic.

He’s probably on some kind of crack during the entirety of the series, I literally don't remember any aspects of him other than the fact that he just goes “AMENNNN” sometimes and has a habit of stabbing the shit out if anything that isn’t catholic.

Quasimodo

My mans endured it all and remained faithful

Sees: "This sort of goes into my headcanon on how Integra's father has influenced her conduct with her subordinates and her position as director, but that's another subject entirely."

May you please explain more about this! (same anon btw). I am very interested! I feel like it might be in the minority of thinking she's not a very good leader/director. Her go-to solution to most things is to send Alucard out. Which always leads to a mess. Even her father realized that using him too much could've been bad. Not sure why or how he came to that conclusion. Or if ever learned from it in his later life… But I do find it interesting that his daughter proceeded to use Alucard for everything involving vampire extermination. Even gaining a replacement for alucard in seras during the 30-year gap.

More likely, stuff like that was written for cool set pieces/fights rather than show questionable leadership choices. Thus some of my confusion comes from whether this is sloppy writing or was actually intended in some way. Also, I should end this by saying this isn't a knock on her character. I just like to overthink ideas in this manga too much.

Hey again, Anon! Sorry for the delay!

Yeah, I do feel like Integra's leadership skills are definitely lacking in certain situations, but like you said, this is likely more of a way to showcase Alucard's abilities and violence in the anime as opposed to showing how Integra is kind of an incompetent director.

But here's the thing: you have to remember that Integra was given the organization when she was...14, I think? So she basically had 7 or 8 years to learn all the ins-and-outs of not only vampires as a species, but occult/supernatural-related subjects as well AND has to direct, supervise, plan, and mitigate any incidents/operations thrown her way. All the while keeping this secret sector of the English government totally under wraps. So...no pressure?

Like you, I don't think less of Integra as a character if she's seen as a faulty leader. In fact, I think it makes sense in certain cases and makes her characterization more complex and nuanced.

Anyways, as far as my headcanons about how her father shaped some of her mannerisms goes, I think it was his more clandestine behavior is what really effected Integra the most. The womanizing, drinking, smoking, fraternizing with other officials and superiors, keeping the true nature (or at least part of) the Hellsing Organization from his only daughter - the list goes on. Being around this behavior is going to have an impact on a child, especially seeing how her father probably treated women as little more than arm candy and a means for pleasure.

I think this might've been part of what drove Integra to dress in suits, to smoke cigars, and go by "Sir" in order to be on the same pedestal as her male counterparts. You could argue that it's because only knights could join the Round Table of Protestant Knights and not dames, but honestly? It's not like they couldn't make an exception. They wouldn't have had a choice. Regardless of what your opinion is, Integra chose to go by "Sir". No one calls her Mistress Integra, Lady Integra, or Dame Integra - there's only one person that refers to her with a female title and it's the Nazi war criminal himself with "Mein Fräulein".

I also have a headcanon that until Seras showed up, Integra was very in the closet and had a good bit of internalized misogyny. I mean, she grew up around and was raised almost exclusively by men, most of which who implicitly benefited from their patriarchal government. I'm sure a few of them had a few choice things to say about women and minorities in general despite Integra being half-Indian.

Anyway, once Seras was introduced and she and Integra spent the next 3 decades together, I like to think that Integra really unlearned quite a bit of the prejudice that was put on her at an early age and came to be proud of her identity as a half-Indian woman.

Most unsavory comments are met with criticism or a good glare from her which ended up causing quite a rift between her and some of the other knights. But most of them are maggot food at this point, so it doesn't really matter.

I will say though, despite her being much more respectful than her father, she's been known to put on the charm in front of a pretty lady once in a while.

This could probably be filed under "things literally nobody cares about", but one thing that I've always wondered was why Integra wears a cravat. Did she see Alucard's and think "yes, I dig that look" and copy him? In the flashbacks we see of her as a kiddo, she wears the little bow with her school girl outfit. So was the cravat a way for her to wear that look into adulthood? Did Alucard see her wearing the cravat first and decide to match in a sign of weird solidarity? Are these two just huge dorks that want to match like buddies with BFF bracelets?

I have never paid attention to that. That’s amazing. Let’s have a closer look, shall we?

I mean, initially I would assume she started to wear more masculine clothes as soon as she started to fill the role as 'Sir Hellsing' (because fuck dame am I right?) properly.

I think the least I pay attention to are clothes. (Took me long enough to realise the resemblance between Alucard and Van Helsing’s outfit....)

(Integra before her father’s passing - before meeting Alucard)

(Integra shortly after Sir Arthur’s passing - before meeting Alucard)

(Integra meeting Sir Penwood - after she met Alucard)

(Alucard’s ‘bondage’ outfit - his first meeting with Integra)

But it should be noted that here, she might not have seen him in his normal outfit yet, it is speculation, though I believe that she did.... Only due to the believe that Alucard wouldn’t enjoy to wear his weird bondage outfit for longer than necessary and I can imagine Integra too made sure he would wear something properly - maybe giving her something of her family’s possession to wear herself/make Walter do it.... but this then would mean the outfit he wore in his own memories/dreams was false ... My brain.

Though....

(Dracula defeated)

(Dracula’s defeat in Alucard’s dream)

Yes.... that is not the same ribbon like thing he wears later...or its just ....tied differently....? No... I think its different.

(Integra during the ‘Cheddar’ incident - several years later.)

(Alucard’s outfit several years later)

It is defiantly certain that Integra switches from: tie as a child, to this ribbon thing, to her cravat.

I mean if they purposefully matched their outfit it has SO much meaning behind it.

It would literally be the ‘bond’ that ties them together, and therefore it is the only thing that Alucard loses and then stays behind, while he is gone. It still connect them.

(Alucard’s cravat after he absorbs Schrödinger)

You could too note that this is what to disappears when he loses his restraints. Imagine what this all might indicate!

(Alucard fighting Luke)

(Alucard fighting Walter)

It reminds me of a manga Ive read “ めるぷり メルヘン☆プリンス“ or Merupuri by Matsuri Hino, where a ribbon literally was used to connect two characters with a magical bond, where it quite literally bonded them. To just summarise it, she was a fairy and didnt find a flower to connect to after she was born, she normally would get her powers from or something. She instead mistook another characters ribbon as a flower. Therefore he magically connected the ribbon he wore and then a similar one she would then wear as well, so she would drain the power from him instead.

Either way I thank you very much for that observation. 

I run on such shit like that. :D

Integra and Alucard

Integra

- her relationship with religion is pretty complicated, especially considering the universe she lives in, mostly associates with Anglican Church out of habit and will consider herself culturally/socially a part of it, but anything regarding doctrine or belief she draws only from what she has seen with her own eyes

- Growing up she didn’t really have a chance to interact with many other kids, and when she did there was often a lot of supervision involved, so even without the uncle drama stuff she was more comfortable with the idea of running the organization rather than being sent to boarding school or something

- While it might be due to just a failure in research I think Integra chose to be referred to as “Sir” rather than “Dame” because she had a bit of a fondness for stories about knights growing up and wanted to carry that same image, it doesn’t erase the blood that’s already on her hands by the time she is 12, but it entertains that childish part of herself

- Definitely has some form of abandonment issues after all the people she’s lost by the end of the series, I don’t think she ever really talks about it or dwells on it, but it does end up unconsciously looming over her relationship with Seras during the thirty years

- Tends towards a sort of controlled aggression to cover up most of her vulnerabilities, rather than actively lose her temper, she likes to try and funnel her frustration into something she can command, it doesn’t always work

Alucard

- my fave description of him when I describe this series to other people is “a blob of shadows in a vaguely human shape” so yeah I think the weird dark eye stuff is his default form in the heat of the moment or running on empty

- His facial features don’t always work? Like not only will he sometimes be able to hold a perfect smile while feeling anything but happy but like the way his lips move and the words he says just won’t match

- While it is stated that he willingly joined Hellsing, I think the choice was HEAVILY coerced, came from a place of self-loathing, and still led to a lot of trauma, idk I want to have my cake and eat it too by trying to stick to canon but still get the angst, like it was another expression of his self-destructive tendencies

- Speaking of which I think while he has memories all the way from his Vlad days, he doesn’t really identify as either Vlad or Dracula, he has a line near the end where he refers to “Dying” when we was defeated under both those names, so while he treats those parts of his history like past lives, something he associates with himself but he really isn’t those people anymore

- Post Canon, he really doesn’t go out into the field anymore, for all intents and purposes he finds himself retired, the adjustment is obviously difficult, but I like the idea that out of all the monsters that died in the battle of London, he manages to cope with obsolescence the best by slowly relearning to be more than a weapon 

Top 10 ships, starting now!

Damn you, anon!  

Oh dear, this is going to be difficult.  I guess I’ll order them by how long I’ve shipped them:

Tonks and Professor Lupin (Harry Potter)

Aragorn and Arwen (Lord of the Rings)

Dr. Carter and Abby Lockhart (ER)

Mai and Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Esmeralda and Phoebus (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

* Nightwing/Robin and Starfire (DC Comics, Teen Titans, etc.)

Belle and Rumplestiltskin (Once Upon A Time)

Alucard and Integra (Hellsing)

Jaime and Brienne (Game of Thrones)

Reid and Maeve (Criminal Minds)

As you can tell, I like heartbreak.  Two of these couples (to the best of my knowledge) never get together, four of them (maybe five) end in unpleasant death, two of them are on-again-off-again, and only one of them gets to be entirely happy because Disney.  

My ships hurt me.

Oh, and special mention to Goodnight Robichaux and Billy Rocks in the reboot of The Magnificent Seven.  They fulfill my love of gay cowboys that Brokeback Mountain never quite satisfied.

* For those of you who don’t know, the original Robin, Dick Grayson, grows up to be his own superhero, Nightwing.  I ship both young him from Teen Titans and mid-20s him from the DC animated movies with Starfire.

When Dame Integra is cold - a real gentlevamp puts his coat on her.

Crack drabble bitte von De Villes Zetteln für Alex mit der zu kleinen Schrift

Basierend auf diesem Gespräch :

Yume

Wenn er seine rätsel nicht über Telefon sonder nüber schrift mitgeteilt hätte. Und alle erstmal: öh was steht da?weil der so klein und eng schreibt.

Nat

lol

Eli

xD Bitte, das wäre so mega gewesen! Und dann am besten noch, Papier fackelt ab beim versuch es mit der Lupe zu lesen

Yume

Alex : *Augen zusammen kneif* Ich dachte meine Schrift wäre schlimm….

Nat

pfffff

Yume

Dann doch ein Telefonat : “Mister … Ich will Ihnen nicht zu nahe treten, aber …”

Einzig allein das Ticken der Uhr durchschnitt die erdrückende Stille und sogar Alex musste dem Drang widerstehen dem Bewegungsdrang nachzugeben und straffte sich lediglich unmerklich hinter Integra, welche die Finger ineinander verschränkt hatte und finster vor sich hin starrte.

Als plötzlich die Tür aufgerissen wurde, hoben alle den Blick und der Polizist, welcher eingetreten war, zögerte kurz. Sein Blick schweifte zwischen seinem Vorgesetzte, Integra und Sir Irons hin und her, ehe er seinem Vorgesetzten den Brief vorlegte, welchen er in der Hand gehabt hatte.

“Dieser Brief ist uns vor wenigen Augenblicken zugestellt worden.“, lies er alle beteiligten wissen.

Alex runzelte leicht die Stirn und sah über Integra’s Schulter, um einen Blick auf den Umschlag erhaschen zu können. Darauf stand irgendetwas in kleinen, geschwungenen Lettern, zu fein um es lesen zu können. Doch sie nahm an der Inhalt des Umschlags war entscheidend und sah dabei zu, wie der Polizist den Umschlag samt Brief schließlich zu Integra hinüber schob.

Alle Blicke ruhten erwartungsvoll auf der jungen Dame und er folgte Schweigen. Alex blinzelte und lehnte sich unauffällig wieder vor. Was hatte Oujou Sama die Sprache verschlagen? Ihre Augen wanderten über den Brief und unwillkürlich musste sie sich noch weiter vor lehnen. Was steht da?

Das Schweigen breitete sich aus und Alex spürte, wie es allmählich unangenehm wurde und befürchtete, dass jegliche Handlungen Oujou Sama’s Autorität untergraben würden, also blieb sie peinlich berührt stehen und wartete auf einen Befehl, während sie sich dazu zwang weiterhin die Füße still zu halten.

Sir Irons warf ebenfalls einen Blick auf den Brief und musste unwillkürlich seine Brille zurecht rücken, musste aber offenbar feststellen, dass er ebenfalls nichts erkennen konnte. “Was hat das zu bedeuten?”, fragte er in die Runde. “Erlaubt sich da jemand einen Scherz mit uns?”

Alex wagte dies zu bezweifeln und bekam kommentarlos den Brief von Integra gereicht und konnte so endlich den Brief aus der Nähe begutachten, doch musste erneut stutzen. Sie war es gewohnt alte Handschriften zu lesen, beschäftigte sie sich doch seit knapp einem Jahr intensiv mit der Alchemie und den Anfängen der Quantenphysik, aber diese Schrift war eine Herausforderung.

Unmerklich kniff die Draculina ihre Augen zusammen und schob das Stück Papier näher an ihr Gesicht heran, in der Hoffnung irgendetwas entziffern zu können.

Was stand da?

War das ein “T”? Und das ein “e”? Danach möglicherweise ein “d”? 

Ted … Nein … Das ergab keinen Sinn.

“J … jedes … Mal …“

Ihre braunen Augen verengten sich noch weiter, als plötzlich erneut die Tür aufgerissen wurde und ein weiterer Mann in Uniform eintrat.

Dieses Mal informierte er sie über panische aus Whitby eintreffende Anrufe, über eigenartige zombieähnliche Kreaturen, welche die Schaulustigen und unglücklichen Rettungskräfte angegriffen.

Alex wanderte ein kalter Schauer über den Rücken und sie lies von dem Papier ab.

“Ghouls …“, knirschte Sir Irons und die Eingeweihten schienen ihm nicht widersprechen zu wollen.

Integra überlegte fieberhaft und drehte sich dann zu Alex um. “Alexandra.”, begann sie im befehlsgewohnten Tonfall. “Nimm dich des Problems ins Whitby an.”

Die Draculina neigte ihr Haupt und legte den Zettel zurück auf den Tisch, ehe sie sich auf den Weg machte.

Das idyllische Städtchen in Borough glich einem Schlachtfeld und Alex hatte ihre liebe Mühe die Situation unter Kontrolle zu bringen.

Ghouls … Die Stadt wimmelte inzwischen tatsächlich von Ghouls und der Vampir, welcher für dieses Chaos verantwortlich gewesen war, war nicht aufzufinden. Also hieß es jede einzelne dieser armen Kreaturen zu erlösen.

Als dies endlich geschafft war, zog ein eigentümliches Geräusch Alex Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Es war ein merkwürdiges Knacken und es schien von den Grabsteinen zu kommen, welche sich weiter oben auf dem Friedhof befanden.

Die Draculina folgte dem Geräusch und fand so schließlich ein Walkie Talkie, welches offenbar von den Polizeieinheiten in dieser Ortschaft verwendet worden waren, ehe das Chaos ausgebrochen war.

Sie runzelte die Stirn und nahm es auf.

Ein paar abgehackte Wortfetzen drangen aus dem Gerät. “”…. alo ….? …Mă auzi? … allo?” Es knackte und es war wieder stumm.

Die Falten in Alex Stirn vertieften sich und sie drückte den Knopf. “Hallo?”, fragte sie in das Gerät.

“Ah.“, kam es aus dem Gerät. Es klang wie ein erleichtertes Seufzen. “Ich dachte bereits meine Männer diese Gerätschaft dort platzieren zu lassen, sei ein Fehler gewesen. Zum Glück habe ich mich geirrt.“

Die Draculina schien nur noch verwunderter. Platzieren? Männer?

Das klang nicht danach, als hätte sie den Einsatzleiter am Apparat. 

Doch ehe sie etwas sagen konnte, meldete sich ihr Gesprächspartner zu Wort: “Ich spreche nicht zufällig mit Lady Integra Hellsing?”

Alex schüttelte den Kopf, die Stirn weiterhin gerunzelt. “Nein …. Bedaure …” Irgendetwas an der Situation kam ihr einfach so unglaublich falsch vor und die Luft schien förmlich zu brennen. Was war das nur?

Der Mann am Apparat schien zu nicken. “Dann verzeihen Sie bitte. Mit wem habe ich das Vergnügen?”

Nun zögerte Alex noch länger. Irgendwie sträubte sich in ihr alles dagegen dem Mann ihren Namen zu nennen, doch so kam sie auch nicht voran.

 Sie musste wissen, was vor sich ging.

“Alexandra Dolneaz …“, presste sie so gelassen und professionell wie möglich hervor.

Wieder trat Stille ein und Alex wusste nicht, wie sie diese zu deuten hatte.

“Ah. Fräulein Dolneaz. Natürlich.“, machte der Mann dann und er schien tatsächlich amüsiert, möglicherweise auch erfreut und das verwirrte Alex nur noch mehr.

Doch der Mann lies ihr keine Zeit weiter darüber zu grübeln. “Ich hoffe doch Sie alle haben meine Nachricht erhalten?”

Also doch, dachte sich Alex, nachdem sie sich von dem kurzen Schock erholt hatte. Sie sprach tatsächlich mit dem Mann, welcher für das Chaos verantwortlich schien.

“Ich möchte Ihnen nicht zu nahe treten, Mister ….“, begann Alex, als sie sich wieder gefasst hatte. “Aber uns fiel es offen gesagt schwer ihre Nachricht zu entschlüsseln.“

Ihr Gesprächspartner schien zu blinzeln. Kurzes Schweigen trat ein. 

“Das ist … wirklich bedauerlich.“, meinte er dann. “Und dabei wollte ich Ihnen eine faire Chance bieten …“

Eine faire Chance … Was …?

“Doch sei es, wie es sei.“, fuhr er dann unbekümmert fort. “Nun, da wir auf diese Weise miteinander kommunizieren können, werden weitere Nachrichten nicht von Nöten sein, also hören Sie gut zu, Fräulein Dolneaz …“

Theodore Bennas’s Combat Style

“A weapon for every task and a task for every weapon.”

WEAPONS

Primary: Libertas (Elven Runic Longsword)

“It’s not the size of the weapon the counts, but how you jam it into someone’s throat.”- Dame Aurelia Morningfire, Master-At-Arms of House Bennas 

Gifted to him on the day Theodore Bennas was promoted to Colonel by Field Marshal Integra Brenagh, Libertas has grown and evolved with the needs of the Knight who wielded it.

Throughout its service with the paladin, it has constantly been reshaped and reforged from a two handed falchion to a leaf bladed greatsword and to other designs without sentimentality as elven swords grow stronger when they are reforged. Immediately following the War of Thorns, Duke Theodore Bennas reforged his elven greatsword, Libertas, into a new longsword just over fifty inches in length. In truth, the blade teeters on the edge of such classification and that of the greatsword.

No longer fearing the titanic sizes of demons or other massive, unarmored creates, the Marshal prizes Libertas for one quality above all else: it’s ability to duel and kill other humanoids.

With years of training in the art, Theodore wields the longsword with astounding skill and precision, and is capable of making minute movements with the tip of the sword, sliding his blade up that of a foes and striking from the other side. He has mastered the art of hewing in such a way that he can defend himself while also threatening his opponent. However, his favored technique when encountering armored foes is grabbing his sword by the middle of the blade and manipulating it to drive the tip into a weak point or opening in their armor such as through eye slits, the groin, and the armpits. He also has no qualms about grasping his sword by the blade and using the weapon like a glorified war hammer and crushing through armor with a swing of his cross guard. 

Armed with his longsword, Theodore channels the Light through his body to augment his own strength and to enhance the efficacy of his weapons against foes such as demons and the undead. However, he first conjures the Light offensively at the start of an encounter, remaining at distance to cast spells of judgement before closing the distance. The runes on the flat of the sword augment every Holy spell cast by its wielder as well as bears enchantments to ease the maintenance of the weapon as well as imbue its wielder with preternatural speed and strength. Such arcane runework allows the Master of Summerfast to blend the Holy Light and masterful swordplay in deadly conjunction.

Pros/Cons Pros:

+Versatility

+Pierces chainmail, cloth, and leather with ease

+Lightweight and swift weapon

+Superior handling

+Can be halfsworded

+Easily transported

Cons:

-Inefficient against armor

-Not well suited for facing many foes at once

-Inferior reach to most true greatswords and polearms

Alternative: Orcbreaker (Warhammer/poleaxe)

“Nothing carries a message across like a hammer head to the gut.”- Duke Edward Bennas

The signature weapon of Duke Edward Bennas, Theodore’s father, Orcbreaker has earned its name a thousand times over through its service during the First, Second, and Third Wars. 

A recent acquisition by Theodore upon his ascension to his father’s title, Orcbreaker has been reforged to suit the Master of Summerfast’s needs. Nearly as tall as a man and made of adamantine, this weapon is truly a force to be reckoned with in the hands of a strong warrior.  A single hammer head decorated with the head of a roaring lion with a back spike in the shape of a gryphon’s head. A long metal spike protrudes from the top of the hammer to assist in thrusting. The hammer itself is a product of masterful dwarven smithing and was first given as a gift to Duke Edward upon his joining the ranks of the Silver Hand.

Trained in the use of polehammers since a young age, Bennas wields Orcbreaker with masterful efficiency as artful tool of death instead of a merely brutal yet techniqueless weapon. This effectiveness is magnified through the blessing of the Light. Orcbreaker is capable of smashing through demon, aberration, as well as the undead with righteous ease.

However, the true purpose of Orcbreaker is to combat fully armored foes. In this respect, the weapon excels. The front hammerhead crushes through most metal plate and deals catastrophic damage to the body beneath it despite any padding, and the backspike can similarly puncture most forms of armor in a single swing. 

Pros/Cons

Pros:

+Crushes through armor and the flesh and bones beneath it.

+Can be used to pull down other weapons via the beak or head

+Lightweight in Theodore’s hands

+Useful for facing multiple opponents

+Versatile

+BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG HAMMER!

Cons

-Inconvenient to carry in a city or town

-Slower to recover after swinging.

Secondary: Rondel Dagger

“When chivalry fails, this won’t.”- Felariel Moondancer, fiancee to Ithaeriel Brenagh

The true bane of all knights. When a foe gets close enough to Theodore to render his weapons useless or when the paladin is deprived of his primary weapons, he can always rely on his rondel as a secondary weapon.

A truly massive beast of a dagger measuring at a length of a foot and a half from tip to end, the rondel is a rarely used but indispensable weapon in Theodore’s arsenal. The edges of the dagger are just sharp enough to cut food, rope, and serve other mundane needs. However, its combat purpose lies in its tapered tip and triangular blade. It is optimized for thrusting and stabbing, tearing into chainmail, leather, and cloth alike. Wounds caused by this weapon are extremely difficult to mend through non-magical means. The weapon is enchanted to be able to pierce minor magical shields and barriers.

Theodore primarily uses this weapon when he has entered into a grapple with another foe and his main weapon is bound up. With such a weapon against armored opponents, Theodore prioritizes thrusting into armpits, eyeslits, the back of the knee and the groin of his foes. 

Against lesser armored foes, Theodore is much less conservative with his targeting, preferring to aim for a stab to the carotid artery in the neck, a stab and then drag in the belly, or even a thrust to the perineum.  

The size of the weapon lends itself well to grappling against others armed with similar weapons thought fails against most two handed weapons. However, against single handed straight swords, daggers, and maces, it can be used to facilitate wrestling and grappling or to parry a blow before striking a killing blow in return.

Pros/Cons

Pros:

+Lightweight and nimble

+Lethal against foes of any armor class

+Wounds inflicted by this weapon are difficult to heal without magic

+Concealable.

+Excellent for grappling and using while on the ground with an enemy.

+Pierces minor magical barriers and shields

Cons

-Bigger than most daggers

-Easily out ranged by most weapons.

-Easily parried by larger weapons

“I have arrived. The battle is already decided.”- Duke Theodore Bennas

Vuelve el verano, vuelve Márama

La banda de cumbia pop regresa a la actividad, 4 años después de su intempestiva disolución. 

Por Ginny Lupin

Existe una suerte de consenso popular que parece trascender todas las discusiones de internet, tan así que incluso Twitter - red social hipercrítica por excelencia - está de acuerdo: el verano de 2015/16 fue “nuestro mejor momento”. ¿De quiénes? Los jóvenes a ambos lados del Río de la Plata.  ¿Por qué? No lo motivó una bonanza económica, ni la consagración de las selecciones en un campeonato mundial, ni un clima particularmente favorable, ni un nuevo trago de moda; sino la banda sonora de ese verano, cuyo recuerdo nostálgico permanece musicalizado por el boom de la cumbia cheta, liderado por los compatriotas de Márama y Rombai. 

La cumbia pop (conocida popularmente como cumbia cheta dado el estrato social del que provenían los músicos, completamente opuesto a la cumbia “villera”), fue el ultimo fenómeno de música exportada desde Uruguay al mundo; la ultima vez que pateamos el tablero de algo nuevo que después fue tendencia. Pasaron 6 años de aquel verano y, tras la disolución de Márama y los constantes cambios de Rombai, el sueño pareció morir a manos de conflictos judiciales, Tinellismos, tiras de televisión y managers en Miami. Hasta este lunes, claro, cuando el rumor que venía cobrando fuerza en redes fue confirmado oficialmente por Agustín Casanova en Got Talent Uruguay, programa que integra como jurado: vuelve Márama. Y con los boliches empezando a abrir para personas vacunadas, el calor acercándose y los casos de coronavirus descendiendo, el regreso de la banda parecería marcar una luz de esperanza: el primer verano con todas las letras después de la Pandemia. 

Los inicios

Márama nació en 2014 de la mente de Fer Vázquez - en ese entonces productor, luego vocalista de Rombai; quien convocó a Agustín Casanova a raíz de sus videos en YouTube y completando la banda con los instrumentistas Marcos Ifrán, Alejandro Vázquez, Pablo Arnoletti y Martín Zina, lanzó el proyecto.  El éxito fue inmediato. La banda empezó a girar por boliches y eventos, a la vez que desencadenaban un fenómeno que excedería nuestras fronteras: a Márama le siguieron decenas de bandas, solistas e incluso viejos bastiones de la música tropical que decidieron reformularse al ver en la cumbia cheta la posibilidad de saltar a la fama. Entre esos grupos se encontraba (por supuesto) Rombai, quienes lanzaron Locuras Contigo en 2014 estableciendo una suerte de hermandad para con Márama - mismo management, producción y creador detrás de ambos productos.  Al principio la propuesta era sencilla y relajada: bandas de amigos (o al menos así se presentaban al público), videoclips relativamente caseros, una base de cumbia con la percusión y ritmo típicos, acompañada de letras “de fiesta” - chicas, noche, alcohol, amor, desamor, verano. La fórmula se probó infalible y a fines de 2015 no quedaba un boliche en la región donde no se coreara con delirio adolescente el slogan “baila nena con Márama”.

A partir de ahí trascendieron la escena nocturna bailable, llenando el Velódromo en Uruguay, el Gran Rex y el Luna Park en Buenos Aires para un público mucho más infanto-juvenil. Hicieron una película (Márama y Rombai - El Viaje), un libro (también compartido con sus colegas) y en 2017 ganaron una Gaviota de Plata y una de Oro en el Festival de Viña del Mar.  Márama y la cumbia pop parecían un fenómeno imparable, pero algo rompió con la buena racha del grupo. 

El conflicto

Márama y Rombai parecían ser bandas hermanas, pero su paso por Showmatch desencadenó una lucha de egos que terminaría con el vínculo. Al menos así lo determinaba la prensa del momento, especulando sobre supuestos celos entre Vázquez y Casanova, una pelea que ambos negaron y el puntapié inicial de una tensión que creció hasta llegar al ámbito judicial. Lo cierto es que a principios de 2018 Márama anunció su disolución en un comunicado que desmentía dichos de Fer Vázquez respecto al funcionamiento del grupo. Las dos versiones se volcaron a las redes, la prensa y finalmente en oficinas de abogados y juzgados en lo laboral.  Según Casanova, Márama se disolvió cuando Vázquez cortó relación personal y laboral con el manager de ambas bandas - Enrique Quinteros - mientras que Márama decidió continuar con él como representante. De ahí disputas por los derechos del nombre del grupo (Vázquez declaró que el era “el titular exclusivo y excluyente de las marcas Márama, Rombai y Dame 5 en América Latina, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea”.), una demanda de Vázquez a Quinteros por estafa y la contrapartida de los integrantes de Márama al líder de Rombai por reclamaciones laborales.

De la amistad solo quedó el recuerdo y del fenómeno de la cumbia pop los pobres intentos de Rombai por continuar con un crecimiento que hace rato se había estancado. Agustín Casanova continuó en formato solista (con los mismos músicos que en Márama, salvo el hermano de Fer Vázquez, Alejandro, que había integrado el grupo); participó de la tira Simona en Argentina y poco después volvió a Uruguay para ser jurado en el programa Got Talent. Del conflicto con Fer Vázquez y el posible regreso de la banda solo se escucharon especulaciones hasta estas últimas semanas.

Aparentemente, Vázquez habría retirado la denuncia penal contra Quinteros y “Márama” como marca estaría registrada a nombre de éste último, pudiendo volver a utilizarse por lo músicos que permanecían bajo su management; mientras que se habría acordado dar por finalizadas las reclamaciones laborales por parte de los Márama en pos de dejar atrás el conflicto. 

El regreso 

Resuelta la parte legal, Márama comenzó a palpitar el regreso con una suerte de trailer publicado por partes en redes que desató la ilusión entre sus seguidores. El anuncio fue finalmente confirmado por Agustín Casanova en la final en vivo de Got Talent Uruguay, donde afirmó estar muy contento por el regreso de la banda, y agregó que “ahora es un momento muy importante para que la música dé muchísima alegría".

La fecha fijada para el primer lanzamiento de esta nueva etapa del grupo es el próximo martes 28 de Septiembre y todo indica que, con el regreso de Márama, este año se adelanta el verano. 

Hellsing crew relationship headcanons? 🙏🏻

Alucard

holdings hands while he shoots his way through ghouls

taking pictures by the moonlight; Alu has his hat and glasses off, his short hair slightly ruffled to achieve maximum handsomeness

doing that crossed arms romantic maneuver where he holds a smoothie for you to drink, while you hold his blood bag

fast travel through the house, glitching through walls, Bethesda

often appears through a wall at lip level to steal a kiss

he teaches you slow dancing, Romanian dancing, but he’s rusty so you have to look it up together to refresh his memory

sticking close to his naked body on summer nights solely for the chill

lets you call him Vlad after a few years together and only when it’s just you two

Integra

awkward as heck, flinches when you’re in close proximity

forgets to smoke for days when she’s with you

suddenly likes rose tea

you two drink it together and she says the cutest thing in the universe, it nearly kills you on the spot: “It tastes like love.”

likes a long hug at the end of a hard day, loves it when you run your fingers through her hair

it takes a while for her to be comfortable with mouth kisses (which never bothered you, her cheeks are very kissable)

your first kiss is nonchalant

Integra leaves her seat during your tea break to head to her office and gives you a short peck on the lips followed by “I’ll see you later.”

Seras

smooching and more smooching

she’s shy in new circumstances but once she gets the feel for it she's like home

especially in your arms

likes to have her back stroked and temple kissed

she goes out with you on datesduring daytime

takes her rain gear, bottle of blood, your hand in hers and out you go

is a bit sad she can’t drink cappuccino but assure her Starbucks is worse every day and she’ll laugh, her sadness out of the picture already

likes to be complimented in cutesy ways; like smooch her nose, squish her cheeks and tell her she’s “fangtastic”

loves to pick outfits for you since she usually just wears uniforms

takes you on a night date to the place where Alucard killed her

you toast to life hacks

Pip

lots of slapping his hand off your butt

or not, your choice

he compliments you so much, you get dizzy from blushing

even his dirty compliments still mean a lot

heck, the man whistles at you from across the room and you feel like a French poet dedicated you a sonnet

prefers dates in fun places, like small taverns where you can get drunk and dance around without anyone judging you but joining you instead

when you’re out at night in the cold city he finds a romantic, secluded spot and he confesses a lot to you

how he feels for you, about himself, about his uncertain life span

hold his hand through it all and he’ll look at you with eyes full of love

Walter

I don’t think Walter would commit at this point in time

maybe have a fleeting romance with a dame his age

a couple museum dates, dessert in a fancy cafeteria

arms linked as you two talk about the uncertain times you live in

you feed the ducks and the pigeons in the park

sometimes Walter comes to the date with bread made by him

you’re never officially a couple but it’s a pleasant feeling to be in each other’s presence
