Mirrorberry is the slash ship between Glisten and Sprout from the Dandy's World fandom.
Canon[]
Glisten and Sprout are both playable characters in Dandy's World. Glisten and Sprout can interact with each other in the elevator if there are two players playing as them. Currently, they have only two interactions. They both were added on August 14th, 2024, alongside Cosmo and Finn. Their stats and abilities are very different, since Glisten is an Extractor/Survivalist while Sprout is a Supporter/Healer. Glisten's ability is to travel through a mirror, instantly teleporting to a targeted Toon regardless of line of sight and can inflict Confused III on himself. Sprout can heal other players by using 100 tapes. Glisten is a Mirror while Sprout is a Strawberry. Sprout is overprotective of other toons while Glisten enjoys being the center of attention and being included by the other Toons, and is obsessed with being perfect, however, Glisten shows to care about others, although he sometimes might not show it well.
In their first interaction, Glisten is clearly feeling exhausted and about to voice said exhaustion, however, Sprout, likely knowing Glisten well, teases him a bit by finishing their sentence ("Exhausted?") and then sarcastically guessing the reason Glisten keeps pushing through, is because Glisten thinks he's "perfect." Glisten takes the joke in stride and agrees enthusiastically, praising Sprout for being clever.
In their second interaction, Sprout is checking on Glisten and asks him if he's doing alright and without injuries, Glisten responds dramatically, brushing it off and insisting (again) that he's perfect, even calling Sprout clingy for worrying. Sprout then jokes about Glisten by pretending there’s a crack in his mirror, which freaks Glisten out. Sprout uses that reaction to prove his point, saying "Right, so you're still doing "perfect"...". Glisten then realizes Sprout was teasing him, and reacts with mock outrage or exasperation.
Both Glisten and Sprout are seen in an update teaser where Sprout trips over Glisten's leg while Cosmo's hands are visible. Glisten seems to be jealous or dislike Sprout, this may be because Sprout is a Main Character, so he is more popular and gets more attention than him. Sprout seems to show sarcasm or exhaustion when it comes to dealing with Glisten, since, from the dialogues between the two, it is made clear to the player that Sprout is a little fed up with hearing Glisten say that he is "perfect" all the time.

Fandom[]
Mirrorberry is a semi-popular ship in the Dandy's World fandom. It gained popularity when the two were shown in an update teaser. the ship was considered a rarepair, since both characters couldn't interact with each other in the elevator when they were added to the game, however, it gained more popularity when the dialogues came out for the two of them which have became the main reason to ship them. Although when Glisten and Sprout were added neither of them could interact with each other, the teaser seen on the Discord server, with Glisten, Sprout and Cosmo's hands, showed it was obvious that Glisten may hate or be jealous of Sprout for the attention he receives.
Some Fruitcake fanfics portray Glisten as Sprout's bully, who often bothers and makes fun of him. There are some other fanfics where the two are portrayed as exes, and Glisten holds a grudge against Sprout and that's why he bullies him.
Mirrorberry is rivaled by other more popular ships for both characters, mainly Fruitcake and ReflectiveDetective and sometimes Jelwerybox and Moonberry.
On AO3, the ship has currently 20+ works.
