She was absolutely going to ask Ron to prom. As friends. Because she didn’t realize she fell in love with him yet.

She kept procrastinating asking him out, because of Bonnie’s comments and the overall peer pressure. All cheerleaders were dating jocks or captains of some teams, and Kim just desperately wanted to be like the others and fit in. Kim knows she’s different - she says so when she confides in Monique (“I'm weirding guys out! They see me on TV, round housing some goon out of a window!”). But she’s also a teenager, and she still figures herself out. What she and Ron have is unique, and she just doesn’t realize how good it is yet. For now, she just wants to be like the other girls, and no one else had a close childhood friend like she had, so she compares her situation to “going out with just-a-friend, this is so sad”.

Kim kissed Ron under the mistletoe. She was jealous of Felix. She was jealous of Yori. She started acting awkwardly after she suggested Ron should bring a date to his cousin’s wedding. She constantly kept repeating she likes him just the way he is.

Ron was never Kim’s rebound (he was a rebound to Bonnie, actually, later on. It’s in-text too, after Bonnie kisses him, he literally says he was never a rebound before, lol). Kim moved on from Eric quickly, because 1) Eric was a traitor who hurt her, and he wasn’t even real, and 2) because she loved Ron all this time. Again, she just didn’t realize it yet.

This isn’t even subtext, this is text. As in, it’s literally in the song that plays at the end of So the Drama, look;

I know we've been friends forever But now I think I'm feeling something totally new And after all this time I've opened up my eyes Now I see you were always with me Could it be you and I Never imagined Could it be, suddenly I'm falling for you Could it be you were right here beside me And I never knew

Only after Ron confessed his feelings, something in Kim’s mind clicked. She just wasn’t aware of the childhood friends to lovers trope, that fool :’)

It probably comes from the fact that the show was written by boomers they were raised and lived in the 90s and early 2000s. Though, I wouldn’t exactly blame them for being a little biased, especially since they’re both teenagers who still figure things out. I don’t believe any of them have any malicious intent, they’re just a bit ignorant.

With that being said, I fully believe that Ron is non-binary, or at least gender non-conforming, and I am THRILLED to point that out. Here’s some proof I’ve collected:

Mr. Stoppable: [The Bar Mitzvah certificate] is not what makes you a man. Ron: It's the only proof I've got.

Ron: Laser lipstick. Sweet. Hey, how come Wade never makes me cool toys? Kim: That time you practically melted your fingers? Ron: Ugh. It looked like regular nail polish.

Old Lady: Oh, Sassy doesn't like men so much. Ron: No, no, look, I'm like, barely a man!

Mr. Barkin: Just couldn't follow the graduation dress code. Non-conformist punk!

To be honest, she’d probably be weirded out by it, simply because it’s something she’s not used to. It wouldn’t be something completely new, though - Ron’s already pretty smart and had his moments when it comes to planning. I think the biggest change here would be the level of confidence, and Ron gained much more of it when he became Zorpox.

This is a sort of opinion/observation/headcanon of mine, that Ron is constantly worried about everything - about the safety of others, about what others will think of him, about letting people down. But when he became evil, he lost those worries (because he wouldn’t care about that while being evil), therefore became more confident, and with more confidence, he became more competent.

I also think his monkey powers are linked to his confidence. Getting those powers in the first place was a confidence boost he needed to defeat Monkey Fist, which is why he fought so well during that first time. He was determined to save Yori and help her on the mission (episode “Exchange”), which is why he defeated Fukushima with ease. He was pissed off and full of adrenaline (episode “Big Bother”) which is, again, why he fought so well. Then, in the episode “Stop Team Go” he does some sweet flips when he becomes evil again.

The episode “Oh No! Yono!” is a different story. Sensei, Rufus and Kim all got turned into stone, and he just found out everyone was counting on him to train Hana kung fu, but he failed, and because of that, his baby sister was in grave danger. It was just too much weight at once, he was too stressed, he was alone, and he had no confidence whatsoever - therefore no powers.

And then, during “Graduation”, Sensei showed up again, and instead of telling him he was supposed to do something he didn’t even know about, he told him he was ready. Simple as that. And that validation must have meant a lot to Ron, because it unlocked something within him, and he was able to defeat the aliens in a spectacular fight. There is no secret ingredient, Kung Fu Panda style.

Sorry for this little detour. Anyway, I imagine during his college years, Ron would be a bit more confident than he was in his high school years, and therefore more competent. Not exactly on the Zorpox level, but pretty close. And Kim would be surprised by this change for sure, but I think she’d eventually get used to it - it’s not like Ron’s character development was a bad thing, after all.

Ron is definitely capable, and if he was stuck under the influence of the attitudinator for longer, I’m sure he’d turn into Kim Possible’s greatest enemy. He knows everything about her, including her usual strategies and weaknesses. And in turn, I’m sure Kim would be devastated by that turn of events.

In fact, I’m pretty sure that in the cartoon they reversed it so quickly, because they didn’t want to deal with the consequences. It’s fun when a good guy turns evil for one episode, but it’s another story entirely for them to be stuck that way for a longer period of time.

I’m sure Kim would know that the real Ron is still in there somewhere, so the goal would always be to turn him back to normal, but the fact that he wouldn’t be by her side all this time, that she would be fighting against HIM? That’s devastating.

When Ron turned evil a second time, we see him trying to use the attitudinator on Kim, so I imagine that’d be another obstacle - Kim would have to not only save her friend, but be very careful not to become evil herself. Stakes would be high.

I also imagine Kim’s other friends (Monique and Felix) would offer to help, but she’d turn them down, saying it’s too dangerous, because she’d be terrified of losing more friends this way. Yeah.

The only help she wouldn’t turn down would be Wade’s (he wouldn’t let her ditch him, and she’d be grateful for that), and, welp, Drakken’s, since he’d be good this entire time, and he’d have to always be there, for the process of turning Ron back to normal. I’d say that’d give Kim and Drakken an opportunity to bond, but she’d probably be aware that this isn’t the real Drakken, so I’m not sure if she’d bother. (I imagine this entire situation would be too stressful for her to make small talk? Who knows.)

And after it’s all over and Ron turns good again, I imagine Kim would be simply relieved everything turned back to normal. I don’t think she’d be afraid of Ron, nor they’d discuss what happened in great detail - after all, her friend would be back, and she knew the reason why he acted this way, and she knew the real Ron would never harm her, so it’s better to leave all that in the past, right? She’d probably have to deal with the nightmares reminding her of those days, though. (Both of them. I imagine Ron would feel guilty for some time, despite Kim assuring him it wasn't his fault.)

They get arrested when they commit a crime and get caught, lol. However, being registered as a supervillain doesn’t seem to be considered a crime.

Keep in mind that I didn’t create this show, so I don’t have all the answers of how this world works (the easiest way for villains to obtain money is to steal it, but maybe there are other means? I’m not sure. Same with Global Justice - there just isn’t enough information about them to bounce off of), but by simply observing, I think we can safely assume that the supervillains in Kim Possible have the right to:

1) Own a house/secret lair. There are several establishments that the supervillains are able to rent (and apparently landlording “secret” lairs isn’t illegal either), some looking very extra in the middle of suburban neighbourhoods, and it’s considered normal. The villains are free to do whatever experiments they wish in there. And it’s worth noting that “secret” lairs aren’t THAT secret, because it was shown multiple times that it’s not a problem to find them (Drakken’s mother does so repeatedly, even though Drew never gives her his address. If an older woman who doesn’t even know her son is a criminal can find his secret lair, then so can the police. But they never bother him, unless Kim Possible reports a crime).

2) Own legal documents centered around their profession. Most notably, Shego’s contract says Drakken can’t clone her, and that she has weekends off. Drakken’s goons (and Dementor’s goons) surely have contracts as well, it’s not like they work for bad guys because they agree with their ideals, they just do it for money. Monty Fiske mentioned he’d write a letter of recommendation for Fukushima, so he could continue his education, so uhh, apparently Monty Fiske can just do that, despite being a wanted criminal. Hank Perkins also exists (just… the entire character of Hank Perkins in general). And I didn’t even mention HenchCo, a huge, influential corporation that supplies the villains with weapons. The supervillains have an industry.

3) Have a public gathering, like conventions. They can do that without the police ever bothering them, even if they’re wanted criminals. (Also I’m not sure if it counts but Drakken and Shego attend the karaoke night every friday, so they’re regularly seen among the regular people, and the regular people seem very chill about it, no one ever reports them. Seeing villains in the bar is normal, apparently.)

4) And finally, and it’s something I find really interesting, the act of escaping prison, while frowned upon, doesn’t seem to make the police chase them? At least not for long. Wade has a way to find out if a villain escaped, so Kim’s the one who usually takes care of that, but from what we’ve seen, after a villain escapes the prison, they go into hiding, and when the police can’t find them, they can just go back home/secret lair, and the police do not bother them until they commit another crime. (And sometimes they don’t even go into hiding at all, they just straight up go home.)
