Rydoff

Rydoff is the slash ship between Kristoff Bjorgman and Ryder Nattura from the Frozen fandom.

Frozen II
Kristoff journeys to the Enchanted Forest with Anna, Elsa, Sven and Olaf, where they meet a group of Northuldra people, including their leader Yelena and young siblings Honeymaren and Ryder Nattura, as well as a group of Arendelle soldiers, between whom tensions had been rising before the visitors arrived on the scene. Soon the fire spirit Bruni starts a fire, and in the confusion, Kristoff and Ryder both act to save the reindeer.

After Elsa promises to free the forest, Ryder tells Kristoff he has never been out of the forest before, and the two introduce themselves. During the ensuing conversation, Kristoff tells Ryder about his unsuccessful attempts to propose to Anna due to her being preoccupied, and Ryder offers to help him set up a grandiose proposal in the Northuldra tradition, involving "a lot of reindeer". Anna, in turn, is confused as to why Kristoff left with Ryder, Sven and all the other reindeer without telling her where he was going.

After the proposal has been set up, Kristoff stands on a rock, with all the reindeer arranged in a circle around him. He asks if he is supposed to feel this ridiculous. Responding in the affirmative, Ryder then asks the reindeer if they are all ready, and "speaks for" them in goofy voices in response, just as Kristoff does with Sven. Kristoff is delighted to discover that, just like him, Ryder also has an affinity to the reindeer to the extent that he can also hear and voice their thoughts.

Seeing an approaching figure and mistaking it for Anna, Ryder releases a cloud of blue butterflies in the air, and Kristoff recites a romantic and flowery proposal of marriage to "Princess Anna of Arendelle, my feisty, fearless ginger-sweet love". Unfortunately, the approaching figure is not Anna but Yelena, who declines his mistaken proposal in a deadpan fashion, and shares the news that Anna and Elsa have left, and that the Northuldra are departing for the Lycan Meadows, saying Kristoff's welcome to join them. Ryder awkwardly apologizes to Kristoff, who says it's OK. Preparing to go and pack his belongings for the journey, Ryder asks Kristoff is he's coming; Kristoff says he will catch him up. Ryder then departs, after checking that Kristoff knows his way.

Fanon
The slash ship Rydoff is the result of fans perceiving chemistry between Kristoff and Ryder, the way in which the two of them instantly hit it off as friends, and how much they have in common - particularly regarding their shared affinity with reindeer. While discussing Kristoff's trouble proposing to Anna, Ryder confides that he "knows nothing about women".
