Shimmer Family is the family ship between Fan, Test Tube, and Baby Shimmer from the Inanimate Insanity fandom.
Canon[]
Fan took care over the Baby Shimmer when it was found stranded on mars. MePad warned him not to, but he didn't listen. Lightbulb attempts to break it open to use as protein for her pizza, although Fan quickly snatches the egg back from her. Fan carries the egg with him as he yells at MePhone4 about Bow's absence, noting that he didn't want his egg to hatch into a "subpar Bow-less season".
Test Tube decides to run some tests on the egg during "Keep On Cleaning". most likely to find out what animal is inside. Later, Paintbrush grabs the egg in a fit of fury and threatens to break it, hence killing whatever is inside. They realize what their anger is making them do and ultimately change their mind. They accidentally trip and drop the egg, but Test Tube saves it at the last moment. Fan expresses his gratitude to Test Tube for saving the egg and shuns Paintbrush for their rash actions.
Fan bring the egg when The Bright Lights fly up to Meeple Headquarters, where Steve Cobs takes an interest in the egg. Fan debates giving the egg to Cobs but eventually decides not to. Cobs forcefully attempts to take the egg but is distracted by the stolen battery. Fan and The Bright Lights escape Meeple Headquarters safely with the egg. Fan gives the egg to Test Tube before the challenge and asks her to keep it away from Lightbulb, in fear that she may break it. Test Tube maneuvers through the maze while talking to the egg and quickly avoids various lasers and flamethrowers. She successfully protects the egg till the end of the maze and returns it to Fan, though dies right after exiting the maze.
The egg begins to crack after some time. It worries Fan, who doesn't want the egg to crack, as he believes it would be safer for it to be in the egg. Throughout the episode, the egg continues to crack more and more. After Fan fails to complete the challenge in time, Test Tube demands she takes the egg and claims Fan is untrustworthy to keep possession. Fan tries to make her change her mind, but she reminds him that only she knows what it needs to live and survive. Fan is eventually eliminated and the egg is left with Test Tube.
Test Tube notices that Fan has the egg and is about to shun him. The egg begins to emit loud noises as it becomes closer to hatching. Fan manages to calm the egg down but the egg, along with Fan, is abducted onto the Egg Spaceship where it begins to glow and float into the air, eventually hatching into The Baby Shimmer. Fan returns the baby to his dad, being the Prime Shimmer. He says goodbye to them, before him and Test Tube are shot by Taco, causing the Egg Spaceship to flee the planet.
Cabby states that Test Tube has a "bad history of protecting eggs." in Tragedy at 60 Feet, when the challenge is about keeping a egg safe.
Fan Blog[]
A user asks him what he's going to do now. He doubts Test Tube's decision but he forces himself to trust it. The Alien Egg is analyzed by Fan in his second blog, appropriately titled An Eggscellent New Entry, where he mentions "the stripes (on the egg) look eerily similar to the mountains on the island!"
Fanon[]
This ship is a rarepair in the community. Family ships are quite rare to find in the community, but this along with Testbot are some of the more popular pairings involving contestants. The ship originates from Mazed and Confused. Test Tube is granted permission to take care of the egg for Fan as he is paired up with Lightbulb who can't keep herself from shattering. Test Tube dies for the egg in the end and throughout the rest of the show, the two have a bond with the egg. It goes to a point where Test Tube grants herself ownership over the child because of Fan's negligence on not letting it hatch. Small shippers adore the pairing when it's not in a romantic sense.
