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; Polygamy, Bigamy, and open relationships.

 

Vernon: Generally most species these days tend to prefer monogamus relationships, wether it was somthin' their ancestors did er' not.

Dawn: Granted wolves I think are one of the few species that can hold it over most others that they were monogamus even before becoming sentient. As much as I hate to admit it, most caprid species saw rams take up multiple mates in the 'pre-awakened' era.

Vernon: Well, I suppose all species were sorta primed to do whatever they could to maximize breedin' potential. Different species handled it in different ways.

Dawn: That said, due to our species respective pasts, Animalia...or at the very least the mammals of Zootopia are largely open to such relationships. Accepting I mean, although the mammals who actually seek such relationships are actually...probably rarer than interspecies couples at this point.

Vernon: Mostly just fellas lookin' fer an excuse to keep themselves open fer one night stands...

Dawn: Puppy be nice, I'm sure there are plenty of couples who just feel that sort of structure works best for them...and can make it work. Though...I should use this opportunity to point out as much as mammals tend to accept these relationships, a lot of them do look down thier snouts at them...especially when it's coming from a species like wolves or foxes that have always mated for life.

Vernon: Well, I can't help it iffin' I can't really wrap my head around bein' able to love anyone else as much as I love you Honey Lamb...romantically I mean. I just don't think that's the kinda thang to be shared around...er' really can be...You're the love of my life, the only gal I need and want ta' share my life with...That's more than I could ever even' ask fer, and it's all I want.

Dawn: Aww Puppy...you're the one and only for me too...Still I've heard of some mammals that have made such relationships work. I think lions are the ones that try to go into it most frequently as it's a big part of Simbology and...I'm sure some of them have made it work. Not to mention there's Scottrammish ram's that have family 'flocks' with multiple mates...I can't imagine there would still be those out there taking part in polygamy if it didn't work for some.

Vernon: Well iffin' they can find happiness that way, it's no skin off my snout. Me and my Honey Lamb are pretty happy with what we got...we don't need anyone but eachother...*scoops up Dawn into his arms and nuzzles her.*

Dawn: A-Aww...Puppy Love. *Nuzzles back* Y'know...sheep may have not always mated for life, but I always have...and there's no one in all of Animalia I'd rather spend the rest of my life with than you, Vernon James Hunter.

Vernon: *Correcting Dawn* Hunter-Bellwether. *Cringes Slightly* And Y'had to throw my middle name in there?

Dawn: I think it's a handsome name for a handsome wolf...*Giggles*

Vernon: Aww...well...er...I'm glad y'all feel that way Misses Dawn Evelynn Hunter-Bellwether, cause at this point ya' couldn't get rid of me even if ya wanted to...*Laughs* I'm heere for the long haul Darlin'.

Dawn: I wouldn't have it any other way way my love...*Kisses his snout tenderly*
