RoyalRibbons

RoyalRibbons is the het ship between Gangle and Kinger from the The Amazing Digital Circus fandom.

Pilot
When Pomni gets transported into the digital world, she crashes into Jax, who crashes into Kinger, who Gangle, who's comedy mask breaks in half. Caine suggests that they go on an adventure. Caine summons a bunch of shape monsters called Gloinks and assigns the cast to gather all of them. The Gloinks end up kidnapping Zooble so now the gang has to save them. When Ragatha suggests that they go check on Kaufmo since he didn't appear in the intro. Jax decides to go with Pomni and Ragatha to check on Kaufmo and assigns Kinger and Gangle to save Zooble from the Gloinks. Ragatha wonders if pairing the two of them is a good idea, Jax says that it's fine since they're the two most mentally stable and capable characters. As Jax says this, Kinger begins to shake violently, to Gangle's horror.

Kinger and Gangle end up finding a hole in the middle of the circus floor. Jax catches up with the two after leaving Ragatha and Pomni to fend with the abstracted Kaufmo. Jax takes the bowling ball he took from Kaufmo's room and throws it at Kinger, causing him to fall in the hole. He gets caught in Gangle's ribbons, which causes Gangle to fall in with him. In the hole, they find Zooble about to be eaten by the Gloink Queen so Kinger and Gangle play rock paper scissors to see who will save them. Gangle loses so Kinger has to save Zooble. He grabs onto their head as they're getting carried away, only for the Gloinks to take away Kinger's hands along with Zooble's head, to Kinger's surprise.

Jax joins Kinger and Gangle in the hole and Gangle asks if Kaufmo is doing okay. Jax, lying, says that Kaufmo is okay. Just as he says that, an abstracted Kaufmo falls from the sky and attacks the Gloink Queen, saving Zooble and Kinger's hands. After the fiasco, Kinger, Gangle, Zooble and Jax return to the circus and are rewarded for their efforts with a feast.

Fanon
Most content for RoyalRibbons is platonic but there is a small amount of romance. Most fanart portrays Gangle comforting Kinger following the abstraction of his (possibly) lover Queenie. Sometimes it's the other way around where Kinger will cheer up Gangle after her comedy mask breaks.

On AO3, only the platonic tag for the pairing exists, with 19 fics being made.
