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 Wasty; The Gods and Goddesses of Symbology, Bambism, and Preyganism,


 Wasty: This feels like a question I can more easily answer out of character I guess. In terms of Symbology, the title of God or Gods would fall to Scar and Mufasa, with Simba being a sort of Jesus allegory. When it comes to Saints and Apostles in the religion, you'd have Sarabi (Simba's mom) and Nala occupying the Saint, or holy lady roles, and Simba's Apostles being Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu. In later, reformed Simbology of course, other mammals would be added to the list of Saints for their great deeds, and example being Robin Hood and Maid Marian, as Simbology would be the orthodox religion of Great Kitten.


In Bambism you'd have a similar structure but framed more toward prey mammals. With the King of the Forest filling the primary god role, Bambi's mother acting as the holy lady, and Bambi himself acting as a Jesus analog. His mate Faline would also occupy the role of a holy lady, and in terms of apostles you'd have characters like Flower, Thumper, and friend Owl filling said roles.


Capridism and preyganism are different in that not only are they not based on any Disney properties, but they also aren't basically a form of monotheism or mutated catholicism/Christiantiy. As the name implies, they are largely based on Paganism, more specifically Celtic Paganism. As for gods and goddesses I haven't really fleshed the whole pantheon as there are quite a few Celtic Gods and Goddesses, so I only really worked on establishing the primary roles, that being Hornunnus and Cervidwen. Hornunnus being the god of knowledge and wisdom, and Cervidwen being a goddess of bounty and fertility. If it does get explored later in the fanfics, I'll probably expand the pantheon accordingly.
