Silvercandle is the het ship between Silver Spoon and Candle from the Inanimate Insanity fandom.
Canon[]
Inanimate Insanity Invitational Intro[]
In the Season 3 Intro, while speaking next to Clover in midair, Silver Spoon gets hit by Candle after she got stuck in Lifering's hoop.
Stranded In Paradise[]
Candle and Silver Spoon end up on the yellow team together. When the first challenge began, they looked at each other in confusion while OJ and Paintbrush were showing off their twirls.
After Silver Spoon complains about hurling himself off a cliff for their first challenge, Candle takes his hand and guides him off the edge, successfully falling into the pipe. After winning the challenge, Silver appears to have enjoyed the challenge, though he catches himself mid-sentence and calls it preposterous.
The Shame of The Name[]
Candle suggests that their team name should bring them all together as one, and represent everyone's collective energy. In response, Silver tells her not to talk so much, since she'll sound less stupid. However, he, along with everyone else on his team, participates in Candle's thinking circle (after landing next to her after being kicked by Yin-Yang).
Snapshot Showdown[]
During the first hour of the challenge, after realising The Sinkers have disappeared, Silver Spoon hides behind Candle.
When nighttime arrived, after Silver asked if anyone has spotted any "spooks" after The Floor informed his team The Sinkers were gonna try to scare everyone. Candle replied that she sensed that something was missing, he freaks out and pointed out one of the cameras The Sinkers left behind was gone.
At hour 13, during the confessionals shown post Thinkers vs Pinkers war, Candle showed printed out pictures she tried to take of two Pinkers members, but failed to put on the flash. Silver adds on to her confessional commenting he didn't know why she even had those printed.
During hour 23, Candle searches around the island for Silver when he hasn't returned from his "I cannot deal with you all anymore!" time.
The Overthinkers[]
At the start of the episode, Silver complains in his confessional about her because of how their entire team just adores her and always knows exactly what to do and say all the time and decides to target her for elimination. He attempts to show OJ and Paintbrush Cabby's file about The Thinkers' viewer voting pie chart but backtracks after he sees her and Yin-Yang walking towards them.
In order to try to get his team to vote for Candle, he had to manipulate them into gathering the whole team to discuss who to vote for in this upcoming elimination. When Candle helps Yin-Yang once again by having them take part in each other's interests, Silver asks her where she gets all her answers from. She tells him that her inner-flame takes her somewhere that provides her with solutions. He then attempts to blow out the flame on her wick, but is stopped by OJ.
While Yin-Yang was the target, Silver supported the idea of voting them out, calling them a menace, but when OJ asks everyone if it's decided that Yin-Yang will go, Silver retracts his statement and switches the target to Candle. During the segment, he tells everyone how much of a threat and a witch she is. However, they vetoed the idea of sending her home since she keeps the team together and call Silver jealous.
After Candle envisions that someone who refused to connect will lose today, Silver snaps at her and has her take him to the place where her inner-flame guides her. And in another confessional, Silver tells us that he will use her secret place to help eliminate her. They end up at the top of the volcano, and Candle tells him to stare at the lava at the bottom. Candle catches Silver off guard by asking if he sees the solution to eliminating her, and slips and falls into the volcano, but she manages to catch him.
While dangling from the top, Candle asks him why he wanted her gone, and he tells her that he wasn't just gonna let her take over the team. However, Candle doesn't believe that he was doing it for that reason, and tells him that it wasn't about him. With both of them on the verge of death, Silver apologizes and admits that what he was doing was wrong. He asks her to save us both from the lava, but with Candle losing her grip, he makes a last ditch effort to survive and blows out Candle's lit wick. But she becomes unconscious right after and they both fall. Fortunately, her inner-flame awakens and saves Silver Spoon via telekinesis. While floating in midair, Inner-Flame tells him to look at the lava again to look for his answer. When he finally did, she flies out of the volcano with him and through the sky. While flying, Silver thanks Inner-Flame and asks her what he can do to find his own. Right before she gave him the answer though, the scene cuts back to the Pic-Nix Tables, with the whole team gathered.
Silver questions what just happened, but whispers to Candle that the lava showed him a strategy, and even asks her who she wanted to see go home.
Tragedy at 60 feet[]
They had significantly less interactions during the episode, but the events of last episode still linger among them. Silver's entire team, including Candle, showed discomfort around him after blindsiding OJ. In a confessional, he rants about how she and the others are hooligans for being so scared of coming across as a leader. After making a very poor contraption to hold their team's egg, Paintbrush says that the team is still being held together, and that's all that matters. Candle agrees, saying "the sum of all parts is greater than the whole". But Silver tells her that she has that statement backwards.
Try Not To Laugh Challenge[]
After Silver loses the funny note everyone was passing around, Candle tells them all to remember the note's message so they can relive the humor of seeing it for the first time. Silver listens to her and laughs along with everyone else.
Silver makes a rude remark about Candle after she fails the challenge early on. Later on though, when Yin-Yang was about to lose the whole challenge, Silver speaks on Candle's behalf and tells Yin-Yang that she left the challenge to them for a reason.
After winning the challenge, Candle thanks Silver for giving Yin-Yang and The Floor the push they needed. And when he encouraged everyone to think of him as their "royal advisor", she cheers along with The Floor and Yin-Yang.
Out of Body Experience[]
Candle tells Silver that since the swap, she's missed his random humor, which he gives a deadpan glare in response.
To ensure he wins the Groscer, Silver Spoon (in Candle's body) tries the entire episode to possess the inner-flame's powers. He starts by extinguishing the flame on the wick, by trying to get Clover (in Test Tube's body) to blow it out, but couldn't because she lost her luck.
At the bridge challenge against Candle (in Silver Spoon's body), he uses a glass of water to put out the flame, only after it went out, nothing happens. And when Candle won the point for her team, she told him that he could've just walked instead.
After the challenge ended, he assumed that he didn't need to take out the flame on the outside, but instead he just needed a bigger flame. Candle has a shocked reaction at this, and while holding a bigger flame, Silver accidentally sets everyone ablaze, killing them and returning them back to their normal bodies.
I Am Chocolate![]
In this episode, after Cabby returns and gives away her immunity cookie to Silver as a tribute, he excitedly accepts it at first, but another scene shows Silver pointing the cookie away from him. Candle asks why he would give away immunity, and starts messing with him after he used the term "irregardless", which makes him shout "I cannot deal with you all anymore!" and storm off.
Pesty Besties[]
When Candle is offered to trade her pet Flamina with Silver Spoon's Utter Filth, she asks if he has trained his pet at all, and he tells her that he just wants it gone. In response, she tells him that others will be loyal back when he treats them well. Silver figures out that Candle is projecting onto his pet, and asks her if nobody is relying on her anymore. She just replies that he should be. He then accepts that she won't trade her pet, so he tells her to ask for an autograph now before he falls into the depths of social infamy.
When Utter Filth exploded in the challenge, he mourns his pet while Candle comforts him.
Candle confronts Silver about her earlier visions of betrayal, asking him if he was targeting her again. Silver claims that he was just gathering intel, though she sees right through his lies. She lectures him about being loyal to the original Thinkers, but he points out that she's wasting her time with them since they have all outgrown her. She then asks if he has as well, and begins to threaten him about flipping, but pauses.
After the votes were read, Candle reveals that she has joined Silver on the flip, disowning the Thinkers and joining the Looney Balloonies. After announcing her betrayal to the remaining Thinkers alliance, Silver compliments her, impressed by this new side to her.
Home Is Where The Heart Is[]
When Candle uses Nickel's butterfly to lure The Floor into a trap, Silver compliments her plan to lure the plebeian with ground food, with Candle disagreeing with how she pitched it but thanked him anyway.
Candle exchanges a worried look with everyone when Silver points out that The Floor can be killed if his face was smashed hard enough. And later, when Candle came up with the idea to dig a tunnel underground, Silver strongly disagreed, saying he'd sooner perish. But when the ground starts to shake, he takes it back.
Right before the episode cuts to the elimination ceremony, Silver and Candle are seen laughing with each other on top of the volcano.
Friend or Froze[]
Silver and Candle are first seen behind a bush watching Balloon, Nickel, and Bot and it turns out they want to go to the final 3 without them. Silver gets annoyed about it, but Candle uses her crystal to calm him down, he asks if he could have it but she responds with, "Over my dead body."
At the beginning of the challenge, Silver and Candle have their leap of faith moment again, while she grabs his hand taking him off the cliff onto the trampoline, then into the pipe onto the Gladstonian Glacier. The two then talk about Season 2 when Balloon went rogue on Baseball and Nickel.
When the other Looney Balloonies arrive to the glaciers, the two work with Nickel to get Balloon and Bot off of the Ice. Silver saves Candle from falling off the glacier. When the three of them are left, Silver and Candle then start teasing Nickel about Baseball and how him and Balloon are all of the sudden "Buddy-Buddy".
After the challenge is completed, Balloon offers both Silver and Candle the Immunity Cookie, which Silver ends up taking while the two offer back and fourth. At the Elimination, Candle is Eliminated, saying goodbye to Silver and giving him her crystal as a gift for his loyalty. He is very sad over her elimination and even tries to tell her one more thing before she got punched into the air by the Fist Thingy.
Spring On The Breakfast[]
Silver Spoon hangs onto the gift Candle gave him when she got eliminated, her crystal. Silver Spoon uses it on Yin-Yang to knock him out, which he then backs up by saying he will "Never let anyone of everything she's given him with her sacrifice."
Blue Buried[]
Silver Spoon and Candle are paired up in this challenge to figure out who killed Blueberry. When Silver Spoon reunites with Candle, he seems ecstatic and almost begins treating her like a princess, showing how he kept his gift from her by his side. Candle is conflicted at first, knowing how attached he has been.
When Silver Spoon becomes enraged with how Candle has been testing him with how she's making him re-enact Blueberry's death, Silver Spoon cries out about it and says it's as if she "wants him to stop existing if it's to serve her best needs". Candle explains that Silver Spoon should stop feeling regretful and moody from how he got her eliminated, and that he is "not nothing without her". Silver Spoon is quite amused by this.
The Show Must Go On[]
When the final 4 are pitching ideas for new episodes, Silver Spoon imagines a challenge in which he has to save Candle from a shark. He uses his new "inner flame"(that's what most of the fandom thinks it is) powers to punch the shark away, in which Silver Spoon's imagination of "Candle" hugs him and says "Thank you, my spoon in silver armor." When Balloon, Nickel, Cabby, and Mephone4 look at him weirdly, you can see Silver Spoon blushing at the thought and tries to back himself up by saying "It could happen!"
A Jury of Your Fears[]
Silver Spoon boasts about and shows that he has unlocked "inner flame powers" to the jury, which includes Candle. Candle then confronts Silver Spoon about the fact that the inner flame powers and important to the world and to her, and that he shouldn't use it to boost his ego. She then confirms that she will not be voting for him to win. Silver Spoon then retaliates by saying that he doesn't need Candle's vote and "our flames need-not to be intertwined."
Later on, Candle begins to take down Springy and Walkie Talkie's mini-army using her inner-flame abilities, Silver Spoon jumps to the opportunity to help her with his own. He gains a glow and a third eye similar to Candle's except his is green in constant to her magenta.
Candle telepathically pleads to Silver Spoon to go protect MePhone, however Silver Spoon grabs Candle's arms, starts fighting her and he interrogates her about her voting choices. The two continue arguing until Silver Spoon let's go and punches Candle's literal flame, extinguishing her. Silver Spoon then falls to the floor and looks at the now unconcious Candle, his face implying shock or even regret.
You Can’t Do This Forever[]
During voting, When MePhone was announcing votes, it was shown that Candle voted for Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon had a look of surprise on his face during this and Candle smiled. After voting was finished and the winner was announced, Silver spoke to Candle about how he felt like he didn’t deserve the inner flame. Candle responded by saying “Knowing you don’t deserve is the first step to deserving, so let’s celebrate.” then they walked off together
