K/R

K/R is the het ship between Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable from the Kim Possible fandom.

Canon
Kim and Ron have been best friends since their first day of preschool, in fact, ever since right after nap time. Kim and Ron have a very distinctive relationship of opposites that covers both their personalities and their natural aptitudes.

Kim's a Type A teen: a perfectionist who sets high standards for herself and is concerned about her image. Ron's a Type B teen: he is laid-back, ambivalent and somewhat random. Equally, Ron does well in all of the areas in which Kim does not, such a cooking and being able to resist peer pressure, and vice versa. Kim and Ron complement each other, and their relationship works well.

They shared a passionate kiss at the end of Junior Prom, and they were officially boyfriend-and-girlfriend going into their Senior year. However there were some incidents even before they started dating which hinted they may have had feelings for each other for quite a while but may have been too proud (in Kim's case) or embarrassed (in Ron's case) to have openly admitted their feelings to themselves or each other. They were still together after graduating from high school.

There were more implied feelings from Kim's side, when she would get briefly jealous of Ron's getting attention from other girls, one of the most prominent examples being Yori, Kim went as far as to think Yori migh have been a threat to Ron, with some characters like Wade or Monique pointing out she might just have been jealous, at the end of this episode a confused Ron couldn't believe Yori might have liked him romantically, and he wonders why girls just can't be more straighfoward about their feelings, the episode ends with Kim exclaiming endearingly to him "well, you've got me" and the two of them walk home side by side. Kim also commented on the chapter "Steel wheels" that friday's night were to her "her Oficial Ron's nights" while getting a bit discouraged when she finds out Ron and Felix had already done plans for the night, also on the chapter "bad boy" Kim gives hints and encourages Ron to bring her as a date to a family wedding.

In the Season 3 episode Emotion Sickness, the ship was explored via the affects of a device called the 'moodulator' which had Kim aggressively pursuing Ron romantically. With the end of the episode having Kim state that the moodulator may not be the only cause for Kim's feelings, with her stating "there are still fireworks" it seemed like the ship would eventually was going to be happen in-canon.

At the end of the original series finale, So the Drama, the two became a couple. Apparently, as implied in the movie, their classmates have been expecting this so they cheered when the pair made their entrance (all except Bonnie). This is suspected by some fans to be a type of maxim communicating the idea that a strong friendship should first precede a strong relationship. As of Season 4, Kim and Ron are dating. It was believed by some fans that the addition of the element of romance would be a positive thing, although some others were opposed to it and feared it might cause the show to jump the shark. (During the episode "Ill Suited" the show makes reference to this when Ron asks Kim if she had ever water skied over a shark, as she had in his dream.) Schooley and McCorkle noted the potential risk, admitting that while Kim and Ron's blossoming love gave them a chance to do something new with the characters, the relationship had to be handled delicately to avoid turning the series stale.

In the episode "Clean Slate", Kim acknowledged that she loved Ron. The fact that her impending death spurred him to destroy their adversaries in "Graduation" would illustrate the fact that this love is indeed mutual; the ending of the series finale heavily implies that Kim and Ron's relationship will endure.

Ron With his more relaxed attitude towards life, as well as his flexibility and ability to see the good aspects of bad situations, Ron often provides a balance to Kim's ambitious nature and image-oriented personality. As such, he often encourages her to slow down and keep things in perspective, to be less competitive and not treat everything as a challenge that must be met head on and to be less image-conscious. At the end of the day their relationship even before their romance has been that Kim needs Ron and vice versa.

Through everything, even if momentarily sidetracked, Ron and Kim ultimately valued their loyalty to each other above all else. Their bond was no doubt strengthened through Ron's role as Kim's sidekick. Repeatedly having faced danger and potentially death side-by-side, Ron and Kim saved each other's lives a number of times throughout the show and Kim was quick to defend Ron if anyone was dare to insult him, and also came to depend on each other as partners as well as friends, which by the of Season 3 grew to a more romantic relationship. This relationship was frequently tried by Ron's social ineptness, but had ultimately survived clear through their Graduation from high school at the end of Season 4.

Season 1
In the very first episode "Crush", it's stated multiple times that Kim doesn't care about getting a date for the annual school dance, she's mainly going with Ron as friends. But this year, it's different as she finally worked up the courage to try and ask out her crush, Josh Mankey, leading to Ron having to find a date of his own. Neither of them have much success, but Kim finally gets to ask Josh out for the dance after her doing her usual shtick of saving people, but also having accidently locked Ron into her locker throughout the entire dance.

In "Sink or Swim", after Ron manages to defeat his personal nemesis Gil, he asks Kim if he can lead the next mission. Kim tells him to "wait and see", which Ron interprets as "no chance", Kim corrects him that it's more "ferociously unlikely".

The episode "The New Ron" has Kim convince Ron to get a new haircut, which Ron is initially unhappy about, but she foils all of his attempts to hide it and runs through the school proudly proclaiming that he has a new haircut. Ron wounds up thanking her as he gets a compliment from an older student, but when he tells Kim that hairs starts sticking out, Kim takes him on a trip to France to fix it.

In the epsiode "Bueno Nacho" has Kim with no money to pay for a stylish new jacket, so she reluctantly enrolls herself and Ron into the titular fast food joint. Kim wound up being disappointed as Ron is completely in his element working at Bueno Nacho while Kim struggles with it. When Dr. Drakken is causing trouble again with his latest scheme, Ron refuses to come along, having grown to enjoy his new position as Assistant Manager. After an argument between them, Kim decides to go alone, but finds out that she's swiftly overpowered by Drakken's goons without Ron. After hearing that Kim has been captured, Ron wastes no time tracking Drakken down, only to get captured himself. While captured, Kim and Ron make up and get freed by Rufus, allowing for them to turn the tides against Drakken. To apologize for abandoning her, Ron decides to pay for Kim's new jacket, but she decides to return after seeing Bueno Nacho's manager wearing the exact same one.

In "Mind Games", Kim and Ron receive a call for help from someone who looks like Dr. Drakken, but turns out to be a kidnapped military official who is trapped in Drakken's body after the villain stole his own. Before they head out to save him, Kim frets about the upcoming cheerleader competition and both Kim and Ron consider each other's life so much easier than their own. Naturally, when they manage to rescue the man, their own minds end up switched. Kim now has to deal with Ron's bullies, while Ron has to deal with Kim's responsibilities and they realize just how wrong they were about each other's lives. They manage to switch back just on time after foiling Drakken's plans. When they return to school, Ron is surprised that his bullies are somewhat nice to him now, with Kim confessing that she gave them "sensitive training" in his body.

Behind the Scenes
Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle (the creators of the series), have stated that they had planned on eventually making Kim and Ron a couple from the beginning instead of having them stay "just friends" for the entire franchise. Also, Schooley and McCorkle have confirmed that Kim and Ron will be together forever.

Fanon
K/R is considered the gold standard of best-friends-to-lovers in any cartoon ( So much so that Season 4 partially happened because enough fans were badgering the creators and the network to actually see Kim and Ron dating, being very happy about the fact that the creators actually delivered instead of just breaking them up to keep the status quo) and is one of the most popular ships in the fandom second only to Kigo in popularity. The reason People ship these two is because of the seemingly close relationship and bond between the two (that is as close as that of siblings) and because they complement each other in many ways and have great chemistry. While Kim's a Type A perfectionist that is concerned about her image and Ron's a Type B teen and is laid-back, and unconcerned about his image, Ron often provided a counterbalance to Kim's type A personality and vice-versa. There have also been numerous hints throughout the show that Kim and Ron liked each other, which only fueled this ship even more

With Kim being a magnet for femslash ship, K/R is not the most popular ship in the fandom (Kigo is), but it's a very well-liked ship in its own right.
