Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask Dawn and Vern; Paige's birthday and Ulric

 

Vernon: We ain't to worried. I don't know iffin' we've mentioned this before, but Sam Hain has sorta...the opposite affect on Ully one would expect.

Dawn: You mean he's normal for one night? *Giggles*

Vernon: Naw, just crazy in a different way. Y'see Ully takes Sam Hain very seriously, at least in terms of the old folklore. I suppose most of y'all know this by now, but most of the cultures and religions that made Sam Hain a thang celebrated it purty differently than how we do now.

Dawn: In the caprid religions, Sam hain represented the time in which the veil between the land of the dead and the land of the living was at it's thinnest. The costumes and treats were a way to confuse and appease the spirits that crossed over to torment the living.

Vernon: The costumes made it so that the bad souls from the other side couldn't tell live mammals and their own kind apart, which kept 'em from bein' stolen away to the other side of the veil.

Dawn: And the treats were sort of an offering to appease those mischievous spirits, and keep them from tormenting the living.

Vernon: Naturally...Ully takes that all very seriously. And while he's usually the type to be real interested in ghost huntin' he...well...how he put it when he said it to me was, 'I'm a marked mammal when dealin' with spirits. Goin' out on Sam Hain for me would be as stupid as taking on the entirety of Zootopia's Reserve Army alone, completely naked with nothing but a spoon to defend yourself.”

Dawn: Pft...*Snickers* That doesn't sound like a stretch for Ulric I think. At least the naked part.

Vernon: Honey's been tryin' to lure him out since she took up datin' him, tryin' to assure that idjit that' it's just a pup's holiday, and it'll be fine, but so far it hasn't worked.

Dawn: I just don't get why he can't at least hand out candy for the lambs.

Vernon: To him, that's riskin' invitin' a demon into yer home. *Chuckles* Nope, it's just gonna be a good twenty fer hours of him locked in his home, with all the lights off, hidin' under that ol' security blanket of his...

Dawn: S-Security blanket? *Snickers* Really?

Vernon: Some ol' habits die hard. *Chuckles*
