I heard it was Weiss' birthday today?

For day 7 and the conclusion of 2026's White Knight Week, I've created this little meme comic for the 'Confession/Near Death Experience' theme. Weiss really knows what she wants after everything that happened in the show, and she's not going to let a moment go to waste! If you ever feel like following up on this year's prompts, don't feel like you missed out, time is an illusion! You can draw and write whenever you wish!

Started putting this one together as the year began. Really wanted to take advantage of the renders I'd been making of Ice Queendom. Just a fun little time traveler Weiss meme inspired in part by Mallobaude's own redo meme series and his Stardust Valley.

Figured out how to do gradients while making this edit, it's actually super easy on my software! And I drew Jaune's hands and lower body for that last panel, I think they turned out very well.

If compression has destroyed the fanfic by Brew-tea-ful Kat on Weiss's scroll, allow me to add its little blurb here.

Redo of the Snow Angel

Jaune and Weiss love each other. They go on dates and cuddly wuddly. They may have even held hands, uwu. They got married and lived happily ever after.

Fin.

I really do like the concept here. Always a fan of time travel. And Weiss was definitely a big fangirl of the Rusted Knight fairy tales. I even made a meme comic in the past where Winter has got her the latest book of the Rusted Knight series, and they're going to read it together like it was the release of a Harry Potter book. And now Weiss gets to live out all her fantasies. Plus, now Weiss knows how good a guy Jaune actually is.

It’s festival! Good times, vibes, and music all around in Vacou. If there was one thing its people knew how to do, it was not let the fate of the world get to them. Even Jaune himself was happily swaying near an open bar and enjoying the moment. Weiss on the other hand was looking at him from several feet away while Yang rubbed her shoulders.

Yang:You got this! Believe in yourself.

Blake:You know he’s at least had feelings for you before. And with the way you two have been interacting lately, I’d wager it’s still there.

Weiss:I might throw up.

Ruby:That just means the two of you will have more in common.

Weiss:I don’t wanna make things weird. We’re in a pretty good spot right now. What if it’s too soon? Maybe this is a ship passing in the night situation?

Ruby:Do you want me to ask him? I don’t feel like having a repeat of these two.

Blake and Yang:What’s wrong with us?

Ruby:…..

As the hands of apprehension held Weiss tightly, a mysterious woman came up to Jaune and started talking to him. Suddenly everyone whipped their heads around towards Weiss’s slacked jaw.

Yang:And now the pressure is on. Better-ow!

Blake:*pinching Yang* Don’t listen to her. It’s a festival. It means nothing. He probably helped her on a mission at best.

Ruby:Still, it goes to show you other people think of him. Jaune is pretty cute, reliable, and in times like these, capable. My mom used to say “the best things in life have to know you want it.”

Weiss:Yeah but…now it’s going to seem a bit awkward if I walk over there mid conversation.

Just as she said that, Jaune’s eyes met the group. He didn’t or draw attention to them. Instead his eyes blinked repeatedly.

Blake:Oh he’s not feeling her at all. That’s morse code for help.

Yang:She might be drunk. Weiss, now you can- where’d she go.

Ruby:To play hero.

She was already over halfway there. With poise and agency, Weiss walked up to the two of them, standing by Jaune and seeing this brunette that smelled of alcohol and scarcely looked like Ruby. Judging by her clothes, she was from here. To Weiss’s dismay, she was also incredibly gorgeous.

Weiss:Hello. Having fun over here? I’m-

Lady:Big hero of the year; at least one of them. I know who you are. Hehe, enjoying yourself. I was just drinking and talking to this tall glass of water. Every drink needs a chaser!

Weiss:Hehe…I know twi people who’d make that joke for completely different reasons- anyways, yes I’m having fun. Just stopping by. Thought I’d chat with Jaune.

Lady:Oh goodness, we have that common; heheheh. He’s funny~ not to mention…*looks up* big.

Jaune:*red* Ummmm.

Lady:Aww, don’t be shy. I saw him lift the side of a jeep up to rescue some people. So kind. Never thought I’d see that with my own eyes. A genuine life saver.

Weiss:Yes, he’s remarkable at his job and character. I know him well. He’s saved my life.

Lady:Oh? I’m jealous. Maybe I should find a riskier job. Would you swoop me up in your arms if I called? *winks*

Jaune:I mean…if you couldn’t walk.

Lady:Well…that would depend on you now wouldn’t it~

Jaune:Uh-

Weiss:Please don’t talk to my boyfriend like that. It makes him uncomfortable.

Blake:Ah!

Ruby and Yang:What are they-

Blake:Ssshhh!

Jaune:!?

Lady:…Oh? Boyfriend? Why didn’t you lead with that!? Hahaha! My bad! Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. A tale of heroes risking life and death across the world. Oh how romantic~ I love that for you.

Weiss:Umm thank you?

Lady:Well then, Mr. Hero, you be good to her now. It’s a festival. Dance!

The lady shimmied away as quickly as she appeared. The two of them slowly looked at each other as Weiss realized how she acted just now.

Weiss:I uh…didn’t know what else to say.

Jaune:I get it. Worked like a charm. Thanks, I never really handled situations like that well. Still I never expected to say that. Calling me your boyfriend, now that’s a unexpected.

Weiss:…I don’t think so.

Jaune:*red* Huh?

Weiss:I mean…is it really that crazy? You’re kind, funny, and have been by my side through a lot of insanity. Even back in school you cared enough to look out for me after I was a…little rude.

Jaune:To be fair I was a little annoying.

Weiss:And yet not petty enough to have me alone at the dance. Jaune, you’re…a great person. Someone anyone would be looking for. I don’t think it’s unexpected at all that I…I… *ruffles skirt* want to be with you. Jaune Arc, I like you. And I know that might be confusing and make things complicated but…I don’t know. Maybe saying it would me we-

He was impulsive by nature, deep down. What other kind of person would sneak into a prestigious school? Overtime, Jaune thought he’d gotten a handle on it. He thought after all this time, he wouldn’t act on instinct. What nonsense that was. Disregarding the risk, his arms had held Weiss by the lower back. His strength guided her onto her toes as he leaned down, silencing her with a kiss neither of them expected.

It was brief, as if the moment it started was the catalyst for snapping him back into reality. Jaune immediately leaned away, seeing Weiss look at him speechlessly with wide eyes and flushed skin. Before he could even apologize for his actions, the girls hands grabbed him by the face and pulled him back down for a deep, lasting kiss that made his arms wrap around her body while three girls suddenly screamed excitedly before covering their mouths.

RBY:It’s happening!!!!!!

Lady:*walks up* You’re welcome.

Yang:Uhhh, do we know you?

Lady:I cut my hair, show it off, and suddenly I’m a stranger? *puts on designer shades* Better.

RBY:Coco!?

Coco:Never a dull moment with your four. Weiss was pinning so loudly I had to intervene. I’ll just send her the bill for my next hair appointment.

Ruby:Wait…you just cut your hair for this?

The fashion diva smiled, flipped her hair with one hand, then walked off into the festive crowd.

Blake:Darn, we’re still not as cool as her. That’s crazy. We have to step our game up.

Ruby:Maybe I should’ve chosen to be her?

Yang:Stop that.

"Helping Hand"

Mabel from the intro song, wearing a sweater that lights up as long as she plugs it in. It also has a switch. This indicates thats she's using simple LED lights and circuit board, tho it wouldn't be surprising if she's using an arduino kit too.

The boom box sweater from s2x01 Scary-oke is the most impressive. Not only does it light up when touched, it also plays a sound! It reminds me of those greeting cards that play a song when you push into it. However, Mabel's is way more complicated coz of the LED lights + mini speaker. This also has batteries. It's an improvement to the sweater that needed to be plugged in.

The lightbulb sweater in s2x02 Into The Bunker is a variation of the BoomBox sweater. It also lights up when pressed and runs on batteries.

And ofc, how could we forget the impressive Sock Opera from s2x04. It's a whole complicated puppet production with music, lights, special effects.

.....

I imagine that aside from knitting and art supplies, Mabel also brought a whole ass electronics kit (with arduino boards and many LED lights) from California to play with.

Knitting different sweaters everyday was already impressive enough (knitting also involves quite a lot of math and 3d visualization); adding electronics features and making them interactive is just a whole upper level of ability. I won't even be surprised if she's etching the circuit boards in the bathtub (coz i dont think she'd be content if the final product was on a breadboard). It's easy to imagine Mabel soldering the components on the dining tabe and doing some programming to get the LEDs and amplifiers/speakers to light up and sound in any way she wanted, all the while Dipper is busy with perusing the journals or practicing some advance math..

Most futurefics put her in Arts and Design careers but heck, Mabel will actually do pretty damn well in STEM if she wants to. She has already got the technical and applied experience from making her electronic sweaters.
