"And she danced" - Lady Aurora by the Dalton Highway
flickr
"And she danced" - Lady Aurora by the Dalton Highway by Abhishek Srivastava Via Flickr: My first sighting, and one of the first attempts of capturing the breathtakingly spectacular natural phenomenon of Aurora Borealis. Took this picture in Northern Alaska, approximately 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Drove on Dalton Highway, one of the lonliest roads in the world, in frigid temperatures to get here. The weather was supposed to be cloudy and I was worried I wouldn't be able to see the Northern Lights; but the skies cleared up and boy, did she dance that night! Can't wait to go back again, hoping to catch a few more glimpses of the gorgeous lady!

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

What are your thoughts on traditional Cornish food?
Good question. :,)
I think that it’s rather fascinating that clotted cream has a Protected Designation of Origin and pasties have a Protected Geographical Indication — which is to say, unless they meet specific criteria and are made IN Cornwall, they cannot be considered genuine Cornish pasties. Say you popped down to one of the chains and bought yourself a cheese and onion pasty. It is, technically, NOT a real pasty. Historic Cornwall has a whole page on this. However there’s still a bunch of traditional pasty shops. And for clotted cream, well. You need it for cream teas otherwise it’s just tea.
I originally had a much longer post but had trouble finding down citations and, because I have a memory like a sieve, certain things I can’t tell you if I learned them from an archival site or from a man down the pub telling me about the local history.
A special shout-out to hevva cake, though. Again, a very fascinating history. But half of what I know is from the many wonderful Cornish heritage institutions and museums, the other half is an old person telling me about their grandfather. Both of which I value highly. Though it does make citing tricky.
But if you’re asking me what I think about traditional Cornish food from someone who eats it? I love it. I can only have a tiny slice of hevva cake like every 3 months as it induces hibernation. Pasties are delicious (properly made!) and truly will fill you for a long, long time. Then again, I am weak. There’s also stargazy pie, which I have not tried but would very much like to. I love fish pies. Please, go look up a picture. I so badly want to ask a friend to show me how to make them…
Anyways. This post has got me wanting a pasty at 1am.

living in northern Virginia there are a lot of beautiful old episcopal churches often from pre-Revolution and there have also been a lot of congregational splits between mainstream Episcopalians and the more conservative break-off anti-gay anglicans that involve them suing each other over control of the old church building and in situations where the Anglicans lost and had to build their own new church it is just about universally the ugliest church I’ve ever seen
