Photobomb is the het ship between Aubrey and Basil from the Omori fandom.

Canon
Basil and Aubrey are childhood friends. She first introduced him to the group after she joined it, she is seen holding is hand while introducing him. After Maris death, Aubrey decided to go to Basils house with him. Basil was pretty quiet on the way. When they arrived, Aubrey saw that all the photos in the photo album were all scribbled with a black marker. Obviously, Aubrey was quick to pin the blame on him. Aubrey becoming Basil's new bully, as Basil was fragile he was easy to bully. The two are implied to have first met in a flowershop.

Aubrey didn't know that it was actually Sunny who did it. Since she thought Basil did it, her and her friends that she had made recently, The Hooligans started tormenting Basil. She started calling him names like weirdo. Aubrey stole Basil's photo album later on in the game, taking only the pictures of Mari, she threw the rest in the trash. This worries Basil, and later on asks Kel and Sunny for help. Their relationship grew apart.

When Aubrey pushes Basil in the lake, she feels really bad after. It was out of anger and she says stuff like she didn't mean to. Aubrey apologizes to Basil later on in the game, when she became more civil. In the ending where Basil dies, she is seen sad and upset that her friend Basil died. As there were still friends, even though Aubrey bullied Basil she still felt bad for doing that all to him. In the dreamworld, Aubrey cared for Basil as she used to before Mari had passed, and wanted to help find him as she was really worried for him when he went missing. Though before dream Basil went missing the two were shown to get along very well, implying they used to before Mari had passed away.

Fanon
isn't very popular, due to Aubrey bullying Basil. Rivals of the ships are Sunnflower and Kimbrey, since the ship gets overshadow by these ship. It is described cute by some, but not many. As for this, people make AUs where the tormenting never happened. It currently has 51 works in Archive Of Our Own. Fans like to joke around and see this as a crackship at times, where Basil is a malewife and Aubrey is a girlboss. Fans see this ship happening more in the dreamworld, though due to Dream Aubrey having a crush on Omori, due to the crush fans prefer the realworld ship than the dreamworld one. Fans like to say that Aubrey would help Basil with his plants.

The ship name Watermelon Basil comes from Aubrey eating a watermelon at the beach scene and Basil being a plant's name, it could also be on how watermelon is Aubrey's favorite food. Additionally, in a room in Black Space, Basil is crushed in a fashion similar to the way watermelons are smashed in Headspace. It could also be from Basil being crushed in blackspace and as Aubrey is his former bully it is like she "crushes" him.
