#mentioned!

i had no idea what should i do with background, so i sketched.. this?

sakura would have you teach him things instead. you'd be surprised at how many high school level concepts he doesn't know. he doesn't remember what the pythagorean theorem is, for god's sake. that was quite literally in middle school math class. he wasn't the type to listen anyway, not when the kids in his elementary and middle school class were his main concern rather than actually studying. it prompted you to explain whatever's on your textbooks or powerpoints, indirectly helping you study. he could care less about your subjects. but since it's you... he listens (even if it doesn't make sense).

"... i guess kinda get it." sakura mutters, his cheeks flush because of being a bit embarrassed from having you explain things to him like it was common sense. "you didn't have to go above and beyond reviewing me, shouldn't you be the one studying this crap?" he rubs his nape, looking to the side. "but... i guess it's fine, if it's helping ya." he just hoped your yapping landed you a good score. and it most likely did! sakura's dumbfounded expressions and confused questions made whatever you were explaining easier to remember, for some reason.

nirei would make you flashcards and organize your notes. studying was totally his forte. he'd be the type to be the studious kid and get really good grades. you'll end up with super organized notes, all key points highlighted, and long paragraphs from materials paraphrased. you'll probably learn your topics together, so you both can go at the same pace. or if he already knows, he'll have a lot more to tell you. he also shares some of his memory techniques with you.

"looks like you got this subject down!" he always looked happy to help you, but he glowers just a bit brighter if his skills are put into use. "how about another subject next? or do you want to take a break? i understand, since breaks are necessary!" he offers his suggestions and was eager to hear from you. it's safe to say you'll get a good score. you can't go wrong studying with nirei.

suo will make sure you get a good grade. he's quite well-read in a lot of things. somehow, he already knows a thing or two about your subjects as well for some reason (as long as it doesn't include art). he explains things clearly and concisely, it's not hard to follow what he says. although, he'll be sure to discipline you in some way as you study. he will not let you slack off, neither can you get away with not listening to him.

"focus." suo snaps you out of your thoughts by pinching your cheek. he could tell you weren't listening attentively. "remember, this test happens tomorrow. getting a low score is the biggest punishment you can get. do you realize that?" he gently chides, even if his words don't match his tone. he then points at your notes. "review your notes for a bit. in the next set of practice questions i'll give you, you can't look at them. okay? get it remembered before we proceed to the next topic." he says with his usual smile. he's patient enough to correct your mistakes. just know you'll pass with flying colors... maybe you'll even have one of the highest scores in class. everyone asks how you did it, but not how you are...

umemiya would totally distract you. don't get it wrong, he helps you. he tutors others sometimes around furin if they need help. but seeing you work so hard just made him go way too soft. he doesn't want you overworking yourself! (even if you've only been studying for half an hour...) during a study session, he excuses himself out for a bit. during his absence, you try reading some notes and do some practice questions. after a while, you hear the door click open.

"get your nose out of that book for a minute." his hand ruffles your hair, beckoning you to look behind. umemiya was also holding a paper bag of pastries on his free hand, waving it around. "i got a snack! you can't study without extra energy. c'mon, just try, i know you'll like these." he urges you, and left no room for discussion. he will spoil you way too much and give you one-too-many breaks. his laidback teaching style starts to make you reconsider your goals.

kaji should've been the last person you asked. but desperate situations call for desperate measures, don't they? sure, he's reliable for a lot of things. but academics? he doesn't study... at all. he's seriously uninterested in his subjects. kaji will be reluctant to help because of that. he'd initially suggest kusumi or another classmate of his. but if you keep seeking him out despite his dissuading, he'll give in eventually... after getting annoyed at you.

(Disclaimer, I personally don't actively watch Hermitcraft. However, I have a friend who watches Gem's content regularly and that's who I created this headcanon with! So if not all of this is accurate to how she acts ,, I know LOL)

Gem and Couri, or what I call, the Sugar / Hyper Siblings! A lot of their dynamic is explained in the chart above, but here are some points I wanted to touch on:

~

How come Couriway have wings and Gem doesn't?

- The Universe blessed Couriway. Next question!

++ Oh and Cub and Gem were the first to preen his wings. They learned just for him. When Couri was on HC World tour, Cub preened his wings after :)

Is there any reason why they were (partially) raised by Cub specifically?

- I personally think Cub's relationship with the both of them is very sweet. And it adds a nice contrast to the dynamic. Cub is often seen as calm and precise, and he ends up taking care of two hyper twins! Fun!

++ Cub would get False to babysit a lot as well. That's when Couri started really looking up to her. He gained a lot of his respect and fear of Hermits just from being raised by one.

How did they go different ways?

- Despite being twins, Couri and Gem have a lot of differences. Couri prefers thrill, and regularly pushes himself to reach heights he never thought he could reach before. Gem enjoys the 'quieter' and linear hobbies such as building. But that doesn't take away the ambition she has, weilding the same boldness her twin shows. They keep in touch, of course, they're siblings, but it's rare for them to cross paths these days.

That's all I can think of right now, ask more questions! I would really like to know your thoughts :3
