Ask The BellHunters: Ask the Ruminerds + Ulric; The Mawndella Catalogue

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 Ruminerds + Ulric; The Mawndella Catalogue

Gus: Oh, the Mawndella Catalogue? That's one of my favorite ARGs. That 'alternates' art, though kinda basic, is also super visceral and unnerving. And I love anything told through the lense of analog horror.

Joel: Ohh yeah, like Local 58, or Gemewni Home entertainment...they have that low-budget public access tv feel that feels terrifyingly accurate to pre-broadband television broadcasts.

Dawn: Ooh Local 58...that video 'contingency' still gives me chills to think about.

Vernon: Same here...though gotta give an honorable mention to Mystery Flesh pit National Park. The amount o' world buildin' in that ARG is just...I mean it feels like it was a real place.

Broomie: Would you say that Kanine Pixels Backrooms stuff is Analogue horror? I mean, it is an ARG...

Gus: I'd say so, the way it's filmed very much feels like internal recordings or corporate presentations.

Vernon: As fer Ully's take on thangs...I should have y'all know that Honey kinda...screens that stuff to keep Ully's imagination on a leash. Even on his meds he...can still have trouble distinguishin' fantasy from reality. So them ARGs are really built to mess with a mind like his. I think the last thing he actually managed to catch was that story about the Inifinite Iflea, and he took that so seriously he got arrested fer trespassin' cause he tried to camp in one overnight hopin' he'd make the jump.

Dawn: Oh yeah, I remember that...are we...still keeping that one from Dori and Auddey?

Vernon: Honey handled it, so I don't see what draggin' Ma and Pa into it would do at this point only than frustrate everyone involved. Sides', I'm sure Ully's got in plenty more troublesome situations they don't know about...er me for that matter...and I'd prefer not to know...*Chuckles*

Wasty: As an author's aside, I'm a analog horror junkie. I'd say that Local 58 is my personal favorite, although it rarely updates so Gemini Home Entertainment is rapidly crawling up to dethrone it. Mystery Flesh pit's ARG is also another one high up on my list of personal favorites. I'm gonna embed some videos I really love from some of these for those who have never seen, just to get an idea.
