StarPome

StarPome is the femslash ship between Pomegranate Cookie and Starfruit Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.

Cookie Run Ovenbreak
Starfruit put immense trust into Pomegranate initially, because she believes she had now found someone who relate to her problems. They are shown to get along very well throughout the story of "The Battle for Fate!". However, her friendship with her broke when Pomegranate revealed she was just using Starfruit to get close to the Nebula Spring, just so she could taint it. Starfruit feels a huge amount of guilt by the time this happened, because she trusted a stranger so easily and gave them too much information.

Bake My Day
In a Bake My Day video on where Starfruit Cookie is featured, it was disclosed that she was chosen as a oracle by the stars, this is seen when a small yellow star gently falls on her head while she sleeps at night. A few more seconds into the video, she daydreams about herself still feeling an immense amount of betrayal towards Pomegranate, with a screen breaking into pieces from a portrait of her happiness at becoming an oracle. The priestesses help her snap out of it. She then tries to brush it off to appear fine in front of the other priestesses. A few moments after, the video comes to an end with her gazing at an actual pomegranate fruit.

The Battle For Fate!
When Starfruit ponders on how the tournament is going, she heard a cookie come in. She asks them who they are and reminds them they are not just to barge in here. Pomegranate apologizes, claiming she was led in there by a mysterious power. Starfruit then wonders and says how she felt the powers of the starlight, because other priestesses could not sense it. Starfruit then adds she is not like other cookies, and asks her for her name.

She introduces herself as Pomegranate Cookie, saying she comes according to will the one she serves. She also says upon hearing The Battle of Fate, she decided to see it with her own eyes. Starfruit asks her of what she thinks of the tournament and festivities so far. Pomegranate replies that the opening ceremony was quite the spectacle, also mentioning the temple's beauty is quite grand. She adds on again that Starfruit must have poured her heart and soul into preparing for the tournament.

Starfruit then says it was not easy, but after all it's her, she knew she could handle it. Pomegranate mentions the grand prize is also amazing, claiming she had only heard of the nebula chalice in myths and legends. Starfruit then responds by saying it is exciting, and that with the chalice, the stars would show you anything, but only once. She then adds the high oracles of the past had it hidden away, but with it they can let every cookie know about their temple. Pomegranate says it is such wise judgment for one so young, and that it is thanks to Starfruit's decisions she is graced to be there that day.

Fanon
While is nowhere near as popular as some of the larger ships in the Cookie Run fandom, it has a decent following. Many shippers imagine it working out if Pomegranate was redeemed and regretted her actions, apologizing to Starfruit and leading to them repairing their relationship. Some also like to make AUs where Pomegranate never manipulated her, and they still maintained their close connection. The ship stands out to many due to Starfruit blushing while speaking to Pomegranate, and the implied guilt she experiences over betraying Starfruit, as she generally does not care about any of her victims. A lot of people think Starfruit deserved better, resulting in controversy and hate for the ship. The ship has a little over 10+ works on AO3. It mainly rivaled by DarkPom.
