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!


The original Ask Dawn And Vern Tumblr! This blog is a continuation/reboot of the "AskDawnAndVern" tumblr, as I am permanently locked out of the Tumblr at present.

(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 the Author: Trapped in your own Universe?


     WT: Geeze, I don't even know...I'd probably think I was dreaming at first. Then comes the terrible realization and praying you don't end up dissected for science. Granted...considering the species diversity in Zoot, I imagine that alien autopsy isn't a common practice every time a new species may pop up. Still, I don't know how I'd adjust to be honest. Aside from being hopelessly in love with Dawn myself, (Which would cause issues with getting along with Vernon I guess lol) I mean...when you really think about an Isekai scenario, and just getting plopped in a strange world, even with full acceptance, how long would it take you to adapt? For instance, I'm still struggling to learn German, I've been on Duolingo for two years and haven't made decent progress. Now imagine having to learn the entire history of a new world, possibly a language or multiple ones, and various other things just to get by. I mean ending up in Zoot, my Zoot, would be interesting, but man I imagine it would take a hell of a long time to get comfortable there.

    As for meeting my Ocs, it would be...well awkward. Aside from my earlier joke...I'd be...I guess kind of beside myself with fear worrying that my writing is what steered their lives along the paths they had traveled. That every time Dawn's father abused her, it was because I wrote it that way. Cameron's wife dying? That was me. And if that proves true...what do I tell them? That I wanted to make their world engaging and relatable? There are too many uncomfortable questions that I'd be far too afraid to explore but would be on my mind constantly when interacting with them. And I imagine them finding the blog would be much of the same. A lot of questions I'm not comfortable asking or answering.

    I suppose you just have to hope in that instance that you are not the god who controls their world, but rather their life stories just imprinted on you across some dimensional veil. Better to be a simple scribe than the god, at the very least there's no guilt to carry.
