Licoivlis

Licoivlis is the family ship between Licorice and Ivlis from the Funamusea fandom.

Canon
Licorice is the son of Ivlis and Satanick. He refers to Ivlis as his "Mother" (adult form) and "Mama" (child form) since he was the one that birthed him. Licorice is very close to him. He does not enjoy the way his father Satanick treats Ivlis and thus chooses to live in the Flame Underworld with his mother. Licorice was born due to Ivlis' desire to have a child with Satanick. Licorice possesses the ability to switch between his two forms freely, choosing to stay in his adult one when he is typically around undesirable company. However, he is said to be at a difficult age. Ferociously protective of Ivlis, Licorice does all he can to ensure his mother's safety. He takes advantage of his "kid privileges" in being able to share the same bed with him. Licorice has been described as mentally strong enough, having no trouble taking advantage of the fact that he is a child. He does not care how others view him, simply using his status to get special privileges. As a parent, Ivlis seems rather unsure how to approach or deal with this situation. However, a few illustrations depict Ivlis showing a tender and more loving side since his son's birth.

Over time, Licorice developed feelings for Ivlis, as seen in the Like Mother, Like Son mini-comic. Confused as to what he was experiencing, Licorice sought counsel from his caretaker Emalf. However, Licorice is still in turmoil as to what he is experiencing and ends up approaching his mother while he sleeps. Giving in to temptation, Licorice only ceases his activities when Ivlis calls out for Satanick to stop. Horrified by what he has done, Licorice flees to his room. He is then seen cowering under a blanket, shivering while apologizing profusely to Ivlis for acting no better than his father Satanick. In following Sunahama updates, it is shown that while their relationship is not damaged due to Ivlis’ ignorance of Licorice’s actions, Licorice also has not presented any signs of owning up to his mistake and seems to be leaving his mother in the dark about the ordeal, regardless of the consequences. When asked why Licorice did what he did to Ivlis in Dangerous Night, it was stated that he simply has perverse proclivities, and that it has nothing to do with his father's blood.

Ivlis is seemingly unaware of his son's feelings towards him. He appears somewhat uncomfortable around Licorice when he is in his adult form as seen in several illustrations. However, he does love and care for his son very much. Ivlis is said to have become softer after Licorice was born. Canonically, Licorice will remain a virgin. However, in an alternative universe, Ivlis is more mentally strong, and as such, he takes Licorice's virginity.

Fanon
Many fans choose to stay in the realm of Ivlis and Licorice having a close Mother/Son relationship. Others choose to portray Licoivlis as depicted in canon. Licorice remains infatuated with his mother while still seemingly confused by his feelings. However, he is often shown to act on them, leading to feelings of guilt or pursuit in further endeavors. Ivlis is often portrayed as confused and taken aback by his son's advances. However, some fan works depict Ivlis similarly going along with these advances and even pursuing them on his own.
