The following interview was compiled based on questions submitted by members and followers. We hope you enjoy getting to know one of our critics a little better!

What is one talent you wished you had? (@Sheare)

Animating! If I want to be talented at something, I start doing it a lot (hence why I try to balance writing, composing music, drawing, singing, and programming all in my free time) but animating is so time consuming and I'm improving so slowly! Just give me Disney-level skills already!

If you could eat one food item for the rest of your life, what would it be? (@Sheare)

Since no one food contains all the nutrients I need, I'm assuming this will be a very short rest of my life. If that's the case, I'll go with strawberry cake with chocolate frosting. Though, if I can cheat, I'll choose a salad so I can put all the food I need in it!

If you could have any type of animal as a pet, what would it be? (@Sheare)

Dogs! I like both cats and dogs, but I have a dog right now and she's the sweetest thing ever!

If you could have any type of POKÉMON as a pet, what would it be? (@Sheare)

Going back on my dog bias, I'd choose Eevee! My favorite Pokemon is Umbreon, and Eevee doesn't have a chance of evolving into a giant dragon that can't fit on my lap.

Cake or frosting? (@Sheare)

Cake for sure. All fosting (except chocolate frosting) grosses me out, and i usually scrape most of it off.

If you were a Pokémon, which poffin flavor would you prefer? (@Sheare)

Spicy! I love spicy food...

If you were a Pokémon, which contest category would you compete in? (@Sheare)

Coolness! I'm not that cool, but I fit the other categories way less ahah.

Do you like pumpkin pie? (@Sheare)

I go back and forth to be honest. I only eat it during Thanksgiving, and it feels like my opinion on it changes every year.

In one word, how would you describe yourself? (@Sheare)

Awkward! Mostly because of how awkward I act around people. I have a really hard time socializing and, you know, understanding other people's emotions, lol.

If you were a gym leader, what Pokémon would you have? (@Sheare)

I would definitely be a dark type specialist! My main Pokemon would be Umbreon, of course. Then I'd have Honchkrow, Absol, Bisharp, Spiritomb, and Shiftry!

What's the story behind your username? (@NaivEevee)

This one's kind of long, because all my previous usernames kind of led up to this one.

I started with CosmicDragonSlayer, which kind of just popped into my head one day. There's no meaning or reason to that one. But when I switched accounts for the first time, I made my username LostSilverForever01 because I wanted to write only creepypasta fanfictions at the time (this is around early 2014, when The Sacred Charms was still being written). Then, my brother told my parents my username, so I panicked and changed it to LostSilverFangirl. My friend called me Lostie, which sprouted from that username, so my username changed to Lostie-P. Then I got sick of being associated with Lost Silver, so I changed it to PumpknHead because I love Halloween and still has underlying spooky connotations like Lostie.

Which Pokémon berry looks the LEAST appetizing? (@Sheare)

Oran berries, just because they look like blueberries and blueberries are usually pretty gross.

One art advice you would've liked your younger self to be told? (@NaivEevee)

Making heads three times bigger than bodies looks really gross. How do they get out of bed. How do their tiny little limbs hold that giant head up.

One writing advice you would've liked your younger self to be told? (@NaivEevee)

Giving ALL of your characters really obscure names or normal names with weird spelling is not cool. (I'm looking at you, Aimiee and Mafew Benadikt)

How did you get into Pokémon? (@NaivEevee)

When I was eight or nine, my friend across the street LOVED Pokemon. I had a DS Lite at the time, so he let me borrow his Pokemon Ruby. I fell in love and got every Pokemon game I could that year for my birthday.

What do you put on your baked potato? (@Sheare)

Funny you ask, I had a baked potato with dinner last night. I feel like mine are pretty generic, though. I put margarine, sour cream, green onions, bacon bits, and cheese on mine.

What was your favorite thing to do this summer? (@NaivEevee)

I went to Northwestern University in Chicago for the NSLC! It's a nine day engineering and leadership camp, and it was so much fun.

Something you wish someone could invent already? (@NaivEevee)

A CHEAP pen that can draw in ever single color! I've seen some advertised, but they're like $300 and I don't even know if they work well. I want that, but with copic marker quality. Maybe even a version that looks like colored pencils!

Alfredo, marinara, or bolognese? (@Sheare)

I'm assuming you mean marinara sauce, so I'll go with that. I love dipping things in that stuff oh gosh.

What's your favorite Mega Pokémon? (@Sheare)

It's a tie between Mega Audino and Mega Absol! They're both so pretty...

Your desired superpower? (@NaivEevee)

I wish I could create things out of thin air, because I'd have no need for a job. I could just create money and chips. I'd ruin the dollar's worth with my powers!

What Pokémon do you think deserves a Mega? (@Sheare)

Flygon! I remember praying for it when megas for XY were being announced, and I'm so sad it's yet to happen. What's even more frustrating is it was intended to get one in XY, but the idea was scrapped! What the heck!

What is one thing you'd like to accomplish during your lifetime? (@NaivEevee)

I want to get the point where I can survive off of art commissions alone. I want to sit at home and draw all day. I'd get so good at drawing.

Which Pokémon do you think is the most majestic? (@Sheare)

Definitely Ho-oh! Its design is so pretty, especially all its colors. I've always wanted one.

Favorite ice cream flavor? (@NaivEevee)

Either vanilla or mint chip. I love both so much, and they're basically the only flavors of ice cream I actually eat. Most other flavors feel all foamy and gross.

What is your favorite Pokémon team out of all the games you've ever played? (@NaivEevee)

My Pokemon Moon team! It was my Decidueye (nicknamed James Bond), my Shiinotic (nicknamed Fun Guy), my Alolan Persian (nicknamed Pretty Boy), my Araquanid (nicknamed Kara), my Lunala (nicknamed Nebby), and my Mismagius (nicknamed Ghostie P).

Unless you meant the evil organizations, but I don't think you did. Just in case though, my favorite is definitely Team Skull!

What is the weirdest food combination you came up with? (@Sheare)

In fifth grade, my friend and I made popcorn and put chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, and whipped cream on it. Even my friend's mom thought it was good.

Morning or night person? (@NaivEevee)

My body always tries to shift for a more nocturnal lifestyle, and it takes a lot of work to NOT be a night owl (since society is bent towards a morning person lifestyle). I prefer mornings over nights though. 8 am especially.

Scariest experience? (@NaivEevee)

Last year someone threatened to shoot up my school during club rush. That didn't happen, but later in that year, someone apparently came to school with a gun.

That was scary because it happened during the end of lunch. Normally if there's a lockdown, the intercom will say "Lockdown, you're safe but lockdown" or something along those lines, but they just said "LOCKDOWN. LOCKDOWN. LOCKDOWN." I was already in my next period's classroom, but everyone outside starting screaming and running towards the nearest classroom. Nothing happened, but armed police officers were going through the school for the next hour and a half or so. This was also the day of my AP test, so that was a nice thing to happen right after I finished testing. The poor calculus BC kids had their test cancelled and had to take a different version a few days later.

Would you rather never eat ketchup or barbecue sauce again? (@Sheare)

I'd never eat barbecue sauce again. I never use barbecue sauce, but I use ketchup on my fries lol.

What is your favorite Americanized-Chinese food? (If you've never had any, I'll send you my restaurant menu and pick something you would like to have LOLOL) (@NaivEevee)

I don't eat Chinese food, but a while back I had mushroom chicken from Panda express. That was pretty good.

Pork, beef, or veggie fried rice? (@Sheare)

Beef, definitely.

Favorite and least favorite school subjects? (@NaivEevee)

My favorite is math (I've actually skipped two years of math, so I'm a junior taking calculus right now!), and my least favorite is PE. If you were looking for an academic class, though, then Biology.

Pepsi or coke? (@NaivEevee)

Neither, they're both disgusting. The only sodas I really drink are orange and grape flavored soda.

Weirdest personal possession? (@NaivEevee)

I've got a small snowglobe collection, and one of them has three skulls in it with bones on the outside (they're not real, of course).

Same thing I asked Sheare: Could you tell us about the development process of one of your stories? Like, what inspired it, and what unique factors went into the creation of scenes and characters? (@SGMijumaru)

Time to shamelessly promote my current story, The Champion is a Faller! That story started when I played Pokemon Moon's Ultra Beast postgames, and realized how... underdeveloped it was. I started with the idea of Fallers, and how the Ultra Beasts were drawn to Anabel because she was a Faller. I thought that was really weird, and I was sad that there wasn't much focus on this part of the story! So, over the course of a month, I just thought about what those factors could possibly mean, and what the 'aura' Fallers have could cause. (I also wanted to create a story with Looker in it, that poor boy needs some more content dangit!)

Eventually, I came up with the idea of the energy slowly floating away from Fallers, and forming new Ultra Wormholes when enough energy was gathered. This would make more Ultra Beasts come through the wormhole, and that would definitely be a problem. That's the basis of the story, and I can't talk more about it without spoiling the story ahah.

If you could be any Yankee Candle, what would you be? (@Sheare)

Pumpkin spice. Take a wild guess for why I chose that.

Do you have DeviantArt? If so, what is it? (@NaivEevee)

I do, but I don't use it a lot! My username there is Lostie-P, but most of my art is posted on @PmpknHead on Twitter ahah

In n Out or Jack in the Box? (@Sheare)

In n Out if I want a good burger, Jack in the Box if I want somewhere I can walk to easily.

Do you know how to surf? (@Sheare)

Nope, that's the one Californian stereotype that doesn't apply to me.

Utz or Lays? (@NaivEevee)

What in the world is an utz

Favorite ice cream flavor? (@Sheare)

I mentioned it a little earlier, but vanilla or mint chip. Most other flavors are foamy and gross!

Would you rather pursue a career as an artist or as a writer? (@NaivEevee)

Why not both? Written and illustrated by Trevor sounds cool!

Though, I feel like I have more of a chance with drawing. My writing isn't really the best, but my art is finally reaching the level where people will pay for it.

What is the scariest Pokémon in your opinion? (@Sheare)

Darkrai. I'm not sure why exactly to be honest. He just scares me a little.

Strangest compliment given? (@NaivEevee)

A month ago or so someone came up to me and said "I've been watching you draw for a while and I just wanted to say that you draw really good circles". It was nice to hear but also weird? I dunno why that was what caught his eye.

Favorite thing to draw? (@NaivEevee)

My OC, Emilia! She's got 90s anime bangs and they are... so much fun to draw.

Hot fudge, chocolate shell, or chocolate sprinkles? (@Sheare)

Hot fudge! Chocolate shells taste weird and all sprinkles were sent to Earth by Satan himself.

Do you or do you not wish for for Kat to keep that Calix peacock pfp forever? (@NaivEevee)

I can neither confirm nor deny my opinion on this matter.

If you could create an ice cream flavor, what would it be? (@Sheare)

Pistachio ice cream that actually tastes like pistachios.

What is the WORST school photo you've ever taken? (@Sheare)

In seventh grade, before I realized I needed to make myself look presentable when going in public, picture day came without me realizing. I had unbrushed hair, yellow teeth, and a stained shirt. I was disgusting back then and I threw that student ID away so fast.

Favorite candy bar? (@Sheare)

White chocolate Hersheys bars with little cookie bits in it.

if something could instantly cease existing at your command, what would you want it to be? (@NaivEevee)

Trump supporters and neo-nazis (I can't choose one, but that's okay because most people in these groups overlap)

Something you've never ever done and you never ever will? (@NaivEevee)

Insult someone for liking something that is perceives as "cringey". If they're having fun and not causing any harm, why would you insult them for that?

Waffles or pancakes? (@NaivEevee)

Waffles 100%.

If you could retire right now, what would you do first? (@Sheare)

Lay in bed and sleep until I'm no longer perpetually tired.

How do you name your characters? (@Sheare)

Normally names just pop in my head, but I'll use a name generator if I want a name from a certain place (for example, I looked up a list of Hawaiian names when thinking of a name for Leilani in The Champion is a Faller, since Alola is heavily inspired by Hawaii). I do try to keep names different though. I won't have an Alex and Alec in the same story.

How do you name your books? (@Sheare)

Again, they normally just pop into my head. Like, when i was playing Pokemon Moon's post game, "The Champion is a Faller" just popped into my head and I want just kinda like "OH MY GOD".

Scrambled, sunny side up, or an omelette? (@Sheare)

Can I choose none? I only eat sunny side up if i head toast to dip in the yolk. Even then I don't eat the whites. Eggs are just kinda gross.

What is a language you wish you could speak fluently? (@NaivEevee)

French! I'm actually learning it right now, but it's pretty hard ahah. I only know super basic things.

Your ideal Pokémon Fanfic? (@NaivEevee)

Adventure, horror, or political, minimal to no romance (unless it actually plays an important role in the story, but it's usually just making a ship happen), and plot points that deal with realistic issues. Basically, Monopoly by Sheare.

How much money would you take to eat a piece of cat poop? (@Sheare)

It depends on how big the piece is, but somewhere between $1000-2000 seems pretty good. I'd actually have money to replace my current laptop (nicknamed "the craptop" by my friends).

Something that seriously irks you? (@NaivEevee)

Adults sexualizing minors, and also minors lying about age to get into adults' locked NSFW accounts. Especially minors that do the latter then complain about the first.

How much money would you take to conquer your worst nightmare? (@NaivEevee)

My worst nightmare is abandonment, I don't know how I'd conquer that? It's a lot different than conquering a fear of spiders though.

Assuming that means being totally isolated until I come to terms with it, that would take a LOT of money. Probably enough to let me retire now, at 15.

Favorite season? (@Sheare)

Fall! The colors are so pretty, it's not 110 degrees down here in SoCal, and my birthday and Halloween are near! (Also fun fact my birthday is the day before Halloween and I LOVE that.)

Weirdest dream you've ever dreamed? (@NaivEevee)

[Warning, this is really graphic and gross]

When I was like 12, I had a dream where this man was livestreaming a video from his room next to his daughter. He had tubes that connected the two, like IVs almost. He stated that he was going to give all his blood to his daughter so she could live as long as possible. The blood started transfering and the man was getting pale and scrawny while the girl was growing red and swelling up. Eventually the man's eyes popped out of his skull and he died, and the girl popped like a balloon and splattered blood everywhere.

I don't know WHY I dreamed that, and it still grosses me out to this day.

If you were a Starbucks frappuccino, what would you be? (@Sheare)

Javachip! It's he only one I really like. I got tired of the strawberry and cream one, otherwise I'd choose that.

Favorite real-life animal? (@NaivEevee)

Foxes! They're so pretty... I wish it was possible to domesticate them and safely own one.

Favorite cookie flavor? (@Sheare)

Peanut butter snickerdoodles! My grandma used to make them all the time and I loved them.

Weirdest fortune cookie fortune? (@NaivEevee)

I don't remember any fortunes I got, but you just reminded me that I have a fortune cookie in my phone case from the last time I went to Panda Express, so I'll type that one out.

"You are eager to share yourself and your possessions."

Huh.

Weirdest thing you've ever found in food? (@NaivEevee)

I found a toenail once. That was when I decided I was never eating McDonald's again.

Favorite healthy snack? (@NaivEevee)

Berry bowls! I just cut up a bunch of fruint (usually berries) and mis them together in a bowl. It's delicious.

Which animal would you play with if it couldn't kill you? (@Sheare)

Foxes! I love them...

What was the weirdest thing you had nightmares about? (@Sheare)

I once had a nightmare that I was covered in cuts and bleeding in front of my mom and she just started laughing. Fun times.

What is one canon character that resonates with you the most in Pokémon? (@Sheare)

Silver, because we're both constantly sad and angry. At one point I even got same hair cut as him unintentionally, except I was blonde.

Would you rather be without wifi for a week or not be able to draw ANYTHING for a week and a half? (@NaivEevee)

I'd rather be unable to draw. I get bored so quickly without wifi, and if I'm not working on a big art project, drawing bores me quickly.

BIGGEST writing pet peeve? (@NaivEevee)

All simple grammar things to be honest. Using they pronouns to refer to a single person (unless the person prefers those pronouns. Outside of that, using they in regards to a person is usually grammatically incorrect), mixing up the there/their/they're and to/too/two, and switching between past and present tense unintentionally.

One question you've always wanted to ask a celebrity? (@NaivEevee)

How do you deal with all that attention? I'd die if I knew millions of people admired me, and I don't mean that in a good way. I'd die of anxiety.

Top five favorite character names? (@Sheare)

Well, I'm gonna go will my OC's names, because I tend to pick names I really like LOL.

1. Cosette

2. Artemas

3. Trevor

4. Emilia

5. Carly

Go-to In-n-Out order? (@Sheare)

A double cheeseburger, animal style fries, and a strawberry milkshake.

How much money would you take to shave off your head? (@Sheare)

$10,000. I like having hair.

Would you rather eat a spoonful of wasabi or a cockroach? (@Sheare)

How is that even a challenge? Wasabi, of course. In fact, I've eaten a spoonful of wasabi before. It wasn't that bad, lol.

Drink a bottle of soy sauce or hot sauce? (@NaivEevee)

Hot sauce. I love hot sauce.

Would you rather milk a cow or wrestle an escaped pig? (@NaivEevee)

I'd wrestle the pig and let it beat me senseless.

Favorite/least favorite geeen veggie? (@NaivEevee)

I love spinach, and HATE kale.

What is the dumbest sounding username you thought was cool when you were younger? (@Sheare)

Anything surrounded with x (like xX_PumpknHead_Xx).

What is the most idiotic thing you've done when you were a child? (@NaivEevee)

When I was six I rode a tricycle down a slide and busted my forehead open.

Something your parents do in public that embarrasses you? (@NaivEevee)

Nothing, to be honest. They're not really embarrassing people, and they don't go out of their way to embarrass me in front of people.

Do you play any instruments? (@NaivEevee)

I play the piano and flute, albeit badly, and I'm learning the saxophone right now.

If you could be a household electronic for a day, what would it be and why? (@NaivEevee)

I'd be my brother's PC so I can finally gather evidence to prove he downloads programs illegally.

Favorite typical "amusement park" food? (@Sheare)

FUNNEL CAKE FUNNEL CAKE FUNNEL CAKE FUNNEL CAKE FUNNEL CAKE FUNNEL CA

Favorite place you visited? (@NaivEevee)

Chicago. It was really fun to be in a big city and flip off Trump Tower.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? (@Sheare)

I like small towns in forests, but my paranoid self wouldn't last a night there. Having a small apartment with my friend in Chicago would be really fun, though.

Place you WISH you could visit but you haven't before? (@NaivEevee)

Canada! I have a really good friend there and I wanna see them so bad...

Name you wish you could change your present name to? (@NaivEevee)

My name in real life isn't Trevor, but I really want to change it to that. Once I'm old enough to do so, I probably will.

100Th QUESTION: HOW DID YOU ENJOY THESE QUESTIONS FROM 1-10? (@NaivEevee)

9.5 because I got tired towards the end of answering all of these.

How many days do you think you could go without brushing your teeth or showering? (@NaivEevee)

I hate going without showering, because after even one day I feel gross. I could go three days tops, probably. For brushing my teeth, probably four days. It'd be a miserable four days, though.

If you had a last wish before you die, then what would it be? (@TehBlazer)

To eat sushi and crab legs. Gotta have a good munch one last time.
