Satalico

Satalico is the family ship between Satanick and Licorice from the Funamusea fandom.

Canon
Satanick is the father of Licorice. He calls him "Papa" (in his child form - "tou-san" rather than "outu-san") or "Father" (in his adult form). As an infant he would call Satanick "Ba" (short for dumbass/horseshit). Satanick is the one who named Licorice. To this day, he consistently uses babytalk when speaking to Licorice. As such, Licorice strongly dislikes Satanick and often resorts to violence when dealing with him. He openly displays a preference for his mother Ivlis whom he protects from Satanick's shenanigans. However, Satanick loves both Licorice and Ivlis very much.

Their relationship is extremely strained, and Licorice borders on hating Satanick’s very being. The son sees Satanick as "that unpleasant, disgusting, and obviously useless thing that dares call itself my father," and nothing less. While in his adult form, Licorice expresses disgust when he looks into the mirror and sees how he resembles his father. Satanick, on the other hand, is rather keen on gaining Licorice's favor as he has failed with his first son Glasses. Unfortunately, Licorice does not seem to want to reciprocate those feelings. Due to Satanick’s less-than-desirable treatment of Ivlis, Licorice has chosen to live with his mother in the Flame Underworld, defending his mother whenever necessary.

Throughout the comics, Licorice's disdain can be clearly seen. When his father is bedridden, he even goes so far as to threaten his life. However, before attempting to do so, he asks for Satanick's consent. When Satanick appears to give permission, Licorice seems genuinely bemused by it. Licorice does not succeed in his plans thanks to his father's right-hand-man. He storms off for the time being. Later on, he grows uncomfortable with Satanick trying to gain Ivlis' affection. He knows it is a positive thing, yet Licorice cannot bring himself to see it as such. He later takes matters into his own hands to assess his feelings. This is later shown to backfire as Licorice fears becoming just like his father. However, while Satanick is publicly nasty in his desires, Licorice keeps his own somewhat concealed. As much as he detests the idea, Licorice and his father are more alike than he'd like to admit.

Fanon
As per canon, Licorice is very volatile towards his father. As such, any sort of attention or affection from him leaves him disgusted. However, Satanick continues to try and win Licorice's favor. Cutesy talk only frustrates Licorice further, yet Satanick persists. Many fans enjoy the dynamic of a bratty son and incorrigible father, thus many tropes range between the pair.
