LicoPome

LicoPome is the het ship between Licorice Cookie and Pomegranate Cookie from the Cookie Run fandom.

Canon
Licorice Cookie and Pomegranate Cookie do not have a friendly relationship. Pomegranate is closed off, especially in regards to male cookies, and only occasionally allying with other Cookies of Darkness while ignoring or shunning everybody else. Licorice Cookie on the other hand is more boisterous, acting as if he knows everything, despite the fact he tends to fail nearly everything he attempts. Pomegranate greatly dislikes him and his attitude, constantly belittling him and asking why he is such a failure. Licorice Cookie doesn't take her remarks lightly either.

OvenBreak
Licorice Cookie and Pomegranate Cookie do not get along. He frequently fails at his missions, and Pomegranate takes it out on him. In one of Licorice Cookie's quotes he mentions Pomegranate Cookie, muttering to himself "just you wait!", wanting to one day prove that he is worthy of being perceived as anything other than a failure in her eyes, or perhaps get revenge on her for her actions towards him. However she believes he is a fool, and does not take him seriously. She pushes Licorice Cookie aside and does not believe he is worthy of being a Cookie of Darkness, she wants to be the only one to serve Dark Enchantress Cookie. When the player chooses to gift Licorice Cookie a Crimson Sugar Crystal, he is reminded of Pomegranate Cookie and becomes extremely agitated, reassuring himself that he is the right hand man of Dark Enchantress Cookie and not her, no matter how much more qualified and successful she may be. In contrast, Pomegranate hardly even acknowledges Licorice as competition, or even as a cookie.

Kingdom
Pomegranate and Licorice Cookie have more interactions in Kingdom, and Licorice Cookie complains about Pomegranate Cookie a lot in his quotes. They are in many stories together, such as Cookie Odyssey, Cookies of Darkness, and World Exploration, and they also interact in the BTS crossover story. In their interactions Pomegranate Cookie usually expresses her disappointment with Licorice Cookie, like in the BTS crossover story, where she expresses a dislike of Licorice Cookie's singing. Overall, the two share a lot of negative interactions.

Fanon
LicoPome is an unpopular ship for both Pomegranate and Licorice Cookie, and is widely disliked by the fanbase to the point where artists on social media have been harassed for drawing or promoting it. Much of the hatred towards the ship stems from the game's heavy implications that Pomegranate Cookie is a lesbian and/or people who believe Licorice deserves better than Pomegranate, calling her actions towards him problematic, and mentally abusive. Controversially, some people ship it for those reasons, as they like the idea of a toxic relationship that serves no purpose other than to make both parties worse.

For Pomegranate Cookie, ships like StarPome or DEPom are more popular, both having romantic implications and the later outright being semi-canon on Pomegranates side. For Licorice Cookie, ships like Licofait, RedLico, and DarkLico are more popular.
