Lightcase is the femslash ship between Lightbulb and Suitcase from the Inanimate Insanity fandom.
Canon[]
Inanimate Insanity II[]
After Suitcase nervously claims to not have stolen anything in Meeple Headquarters, Soap is accused instead as she tells everyone that Suitcase did so. Lightbulb denies it only to notice that Suitcase is starting to get sweaty. Suitcase then opens up and reveals the battery she took and kicks it away, with Lightbulb following Paintbrush away with the battery after they catch it.
During the mining challenge, Lightbulb falls through a pit and lands nearby Fan and Suitcase, startling the two. Fan and Suitcase stare at a dizzy Lightbulb as she wakes up and ends up finding a gem for the challenge.
When Test Tube's rocket starts malfunctioning mid-air, Lightbulb gets an idea to charge it and asks Suitcase, along with Knife, Microphone, and Baseball to help lift her up. Lightbulb stands on top of Suitcase, lifted by the other three, as Lightbulb is able to channel more energy into her rocket. When this works, the five of them all cheer. After the elimination, Lightbulb and Suitcase, along with Baseball and Knife, are announced as the final four contestants remaining.
As Lightbulb is looking through a box for a device, the other three contestants approach her. Suitcase tells Lightbulb that they're all here for her when Knife says to Lightbulb that Suitcase taught him about random acts of kindness. Hearing Lightbulb talk about her teammates, Suitcase comments that she was close allies with them. Lightbulb clarifies that she never liked nor understood the word allies and is interrupted before she can elaborate. Shortly afterwards when Lightbulb pulls out a white bowtie from the box, Suitcase is familiar with it and is startled seeing it again. When Suitcase asks if anyone else can see it, Lightbulb puts the bow on Suitcase which turns her invisible. Suitcase panics until Knife takes the bow off. Lightbulb then pulls a pen from the box and explains that Test Tube gave it to her for when she's nervous. Suitcase asks if she is nervous, making Lightbulb say that she isn't and wanted to prove to them that she isn't. After Lightbulb loses the truth or flare game and is eliminated, Suitcase is happy for Lightbulb since she chose to stay with her friend Paintbrush instead of continuing the competition. When Suitcase asks about what Lightbulb meant about what she meant by her allies, Lightbulb explains that they're the people that give her strength.
