Fancase is the het ship between Fan and Suitcase from the Inanimate Insanity fandom.
Canon[]
Inanimate Insanity II[]
After Suitcase believed at first that Test Tube saw her hallucinations as well, Fan invites her over to talk about what she's been seeing. He mentions how he is suspicious of what the assistant hosts are planning as well as new pairs being formed around them. Interested, Suitcase accepts and the two walk into the cave together for the mining challenge. Fan sets up a vlog in the cave and starts recording, encouraging Suitcase to narrate for it. Suitcase questions if anyone watches the vlogs as Fan asserts that it is a work in progress. As Suitcase and Fan explain the mysteries around them that Fan mentions earlier, Suitcase decides that she wants to learn more about Fan and points the camera towards him. Fan nervously states that he already did his intro and that his vlogs aren't necessarily about him, although Suitcase is wanting to give him a chance to open up. Later in the recording, Fan asks about Suitcase, who brings up that Test Tube saying that she saw a vision felt real to her. When asked if he relates, Fan feels anxious whenever it comes to talking about himself and describes how talking about the show itself feels easier to him. As Fan feels like he doesn't have the words to explain himself, Suitcase comforts him and says that he's allowed to take time to formulate his thoughts. Fan's egg starts to further crack, which prompts him to start writing on his phone. After he finishes typing, Suitcase reads out what he wrote and learns that Fan is becoming nervous about the game changing around him in unpredictable ways. Fan stands by in silence as he listens to Suitcase right before Test Tube finds the two and becomes angry by them sitting around. Fan tries to tell Test Tube that they were investigating by vlogging and ends up angering her more when he accidentally throws a shovel that hits Lightbulb. Test Tube grabs Fan and drags him away, with him and Suitcase saying goodbye to each other. Suitcase later takes the last immunity slot and reacts sadly towards Fan's elimination.
Suitcase and the rest of the contestants witness Fan getting taken by a spaceship. Later as the contestants build a rocket to retrieve him, Suitcase remembers her moments with him and starts hallucinating a crack growing from his broken phone. Test Tube snaps her out of it and Suitcase gets the feeling that she's implying she doesn't care about trying to save Fan. Suitcase takes offense when Test Tube blames her for Fan's elimination, making her defend him by pointing out that he was hurt being eliminated from his favorite show. When asked what hurt him the most, Test Tube assumes that Suitcase is referring to the egg that was taken from him. Suitcase denies that she was referring to this and walks away being mad that Test Tube wasn't as smart as she thought she was.
During the Hotel OJ party, Suitcase is brought to her awareness that there was a third season happening while she was still competing in season two. When she first finds it as a joke, Fan confirms to her that there actually was a third season that used a more lighter tone. Suitcase is shocked and questions him about the season, freaking her out in the process. After Suitcase angrily runs off to confront MePhone about it, Fan and the rest of the contestants trying to calm her down feel guilty.
In the MeAfterLife, Fan finds Suitcase and overhears her explaining to Balloon on how MePhone created all of the contestants. Despite Balloon already knowing this, this is Fan's first time learning and becomes saddened by it. Shortly after, Balloon finds Box by Suitcase as she reveals to him and Fan that Box was alive the whole time. Suitcase tries to tell them to act normal about it, causing Fan to lash out from being told that he is a fake fan. Though, Suitcase still appreciates that she was able to find him and Balloon. Suitcase later motivates Fan and the rest of the contestants in the MeAfterLife to escape using the Red Line Game.
