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 the Author; No WWII; for Real?



Wasty: As I've said before, the primary reason there was no direct WWII in my lore was because I just didn't want to touch Hitler and the Nazis and that whole mess. I can imagine that with the heavy punishment on Germamy there was definitely a resentment left there that left them cold to working with the allied nations of Roarope for many years. However, I imagine the 'Great Rodent Expulsion' that was a shared sentiment by most of Roaroupe did a lot to mend relations between formally adversarial countries. Germamy's economy rebounded in part due to the influx of jobs thanks to the mass exodus of rodents, as well as Germamy providing services to help get rodents out of other countries.


There was more than likely a Pawcific theater standoff between North Mammalia and Japanda, which culminated more than likely in the same events, including Hiroshrewma and Nagasowki. This would leave contemporary Japanda in a similar state to its real-world counterpart. 


As for the North and South Purrea split, it would still occur, as communist Grussia and Communist Panda would still play their parts in history up until the more recent decades. 


Lastly... I apologize in advance in terms of whatever knowledge of world history I'm lacking to make more robust 'alternate histories' for my AU. It's been years since I actually took a history course and it was never my favorite subject, plus I'm American and well... you've all heard about our educational system. I really never intended to go too deeply into the whole world in my Zootopia-verse, and its detailed history when I started writing my fics...my fics were more...locally focused. So forgive me if I stumble in trying to keep the weird tenuous connection Zootopia has to our real world by way of dumb puns.
