I never know who does or does not ship my favorite KH pairings...
But for the Ask Game: I'm curious about both Sokai (Kingdom Hearts) and Nuts & Dolts (RWBY).
So for Sokai, this one is really tricky because I feel like anything I’m coming up with just sounds like one of a million bits of edgy melodrama that was done to death 10+ years ago in the KH fandom? You know, all the ‘what if Sora and/or Kairi were DARK and EDGY?’ art and/or fics.
Honestly, I’m sorry to say I kinda got nothing here.
As for Nuts and Dolts, thankfully I have something a LOT more interesting; because honestly this isn’t even just a headcanon so much as it feels like an actual THEORY of something we could see in canon:
Namely, that Penny coming back again feels like it is VERY liable to seriously MESS RUBY UP. Like Ruby has had to deal with the grief of losing Penny TWICE, and now here she is AGAIN.
And depending on how well, or not, Penny understands the nuances of the grieving process, she could very well unwittingly mess Ruby up even MORE. As in, if it turns out that Penny actually did plan her revival at the end of Volume 8, eg; she actually did figure out how to piggyback her soul/consciousness onto the Maiden Powers and she’s now chilling in the back of Winter’s head until she can be extracted, then I can imagine her unwittingly trivializing her own death in a way that comes off as HORRIFICALLY insensitive to Ruby.
Like Penny expects to just drop right back into her friends’ lives and move on like nothing happened, and doesn’t really grasp how much of a struggle that is for them, especially Ruby.
I mean given all the parallels we’ve been seeing between Ruby/Penny and Salem/Ozma, I feel like it’s all too plausible that Ruby and Penny are going to have to deal with some serious relationship issues.
