since birds get tired when a cloth is put over their eyes, Scar will sometimes "kidnap" Grian for cuddles and/or a nap when he feels like it.

Grian also does this to Jimmy, but mainly for pranks.

Since Gem is a shape shifter she'll occasionally get stuck in random forms on accident and hermits end up finding random creatures just staring at them sadly until they go help when they realize it's Gem. One time Pearl tried to tame a wolf before noticing it was Gem and ended up cuddling with puppy Gem on the couch until she was able to shift back.

Another time Gem had turned into a zombie and could only talk in grunts and groans and was terrified of being murdered so she went to Cleo's, who saw a random zombie that looked vaguely like either Gem or herself and when they went up to it, it started crying because she kept burning herself in the sun on the walk over and Cleo ended up getting her inside and treating her burns while they waited for Gem to be able to shift back

There was also what hermits refer to as The Goose Incident. We don't talk about it. Grian is still in therapy for it.

Grian mother hens everyone (cause EVO) and it's either adorable or annoying. Adorable when you see him mother henning someone else and annoying when you're the one being mother henned.

So far, Xisuma has been the biggest 'victim' because being in close proximity to Grian means you can't hide issues and will be jumped if he suspects a lack of self-care (and Xisuma thought Keralis was bad). Grian keeps a running total as well. So far, he has had to mother hen Xisuma 38 times and the other Hermit that's the closest is Doc with 12 times.

The good thing is they usually end in cuddles, which Grian is very good at.

Grian is incredibly clingy. Gem or Pearl will just be doin base stuff and POOF he's there attatched to her arm.

This also means he sleeps in other people's bases a lot, but not in their bedroom. Just in random hidey holes.

Etho will never tell Grian and the others when his birthday is until they guess right.

He likes it when they visit, and the cake is nice too. Etho honestly loves every attempt, enjoying himself in his friends' presence and company.

Grian is a sock gremlin but only for Scar,Mumbo, and Gem. He then puts the socks in other people's bases. That's it.

Little sock gremlin bird.

Grian likes to nest in Mumbo’s base the most, but when he can’t he goes to Gem, then Pearl or even scar

Whenever a new hermit is added, they host a small event called “show and tell” where the new hermit makes a presentation about what type of Hybrid they are, what that entails, and show off a few cool powers they have. It’s a great icebreaker and makes sure people are aware of any possible problems/drawbacks that Hermit may experience. Here are few fun things that have happened at Show & Tell:

- Everyone expected Pearl to just fly when she did her talent since she’s a Moth hybrid, and originally that was the plan. However right before she could do it Grian turned off the lights in the room, revealing the fact she glows in the dark!

- Joe redid his Show and Tell in S10 because in his own words “there’s a lot more to being a puppet than people realize!”

- Joel did an entire presentation on being a Tanuki Hybrid before suprising all the non lifers by shapeshifting. He then did his actual presentation on being a Fae.

- Thanks to Doc there is a ban on showing off Talents that may resort to bodily harm to the audience (he claimed being a cyborg was part of his species and then used his lazer eye to demonstrate)

- No one knows exactly what Xisuma is because Show & Tell started in S2.

- Usually the humans have a relatively boring presentation, except Mumbo. Despite claiming he was human, his fun facts did NOT line up with how people actually work (claiming humans eat redstone when it’s toxic, saying humans only need an hour of sleep to comfortably function, etc)

grian is blind when not actively using his watcher abilities, at first he didn’t like using them for anything but has now gotten used to it a bit more. on days when he particularly feels bad about using them, scar helps him out. however, scar sometimes doesn’t see stuff, so on those days, there are a lot more deaths from both of them combined. luckily, it’s usually enough to make grian feel better. <3

Gem, Grian, and Etho are siblings. That’s it. They siblings.

Because of this they can tease and mess with each other, but if anyone else does… oh no! You don’t want a redstone god a prankster god and god’s favorite princess (who by the way is a PVP goddess) to go after you.

nobody messes with the EGG!

every season grian is a different bird avian. he change between these at will, usually per season or bit. i have a couple ideas but i need help filling them out

and im trying to figure out the rest

the reason Grian characters are swift to steal, hoard, and are sometimes described as greedy is because he’s caching. (the bird behavior, this is assuming he’s an avian)

Cleo loves making little handmade gifts, mostly clothes, for all the other Hermits, especially this time of year. But sometimes they’ll just do it randomly because they have free time and need something to do with their hands. Examples include:

Special knit hats for Hermits who have hybrid ears or horns and sometimes struggle to find them like Gem, Etho, Zed, and Doc.

Adaptable clothes for Pearl, who’s a shapeshifter.

Custom sweaters for winged Hermits like Grian, False, and Doc.

Tiny clothes for Juppet.

Socks, scarfs, and gloves for everyone.

The hermits with bird wings have preening parties! Kind of like a hair braiding train but for wings! They all sit in a line and preen. Grian preens False’s wings, Pearl preens Grian’s wings, and then when they’re done, False preens Pearl’s wings. And being preened makes them all relaxed and cozy so they melt into a cuddle pile at the end.

S not technically a winter holiday, but a holiday none the less,

During the Ides of march all of the hermits get together and have a really big party with a ton of ceaser salads and various deserts shaped like knives, they then run around hitting eachother with paper painted to look like knives, Cleo, Grian and Doc have spent a long time geting everyone festive outfits for the occasion

Skizz never properly learned how to preen his wings. As an angel, he doesn't need to- his magic heals any broken feathers or uncomfortableness before he even notices it. When Grian invited him to the monthly "Avian self-care day" (with Grian, False and BDubs), he was a bit unsure, to say the least. Only when it was his turn, and the others started picking out the dirt between his feathers, that he realized how itchy his wings were. Long story short, Skizz never missed a preening night from then on.

(Bonus points: Grian teaches the rest of Team ZIT to help Skizz preen his feathers when Grian isn't around.)

grian will randomly and without warning climb up onto other people's shoulders and perch send ask

(mumbo and scar are used to it at this point, due to them being the most frequent targets)
