And it's day four of 2026's White Knight Week! The themes are "Coming Home" and "Coffee Dates." Check out the prompts for the week if you're interested in putting anything together, no need to feel constrained to the week itself!
I'm loving all the art and fics and memes people have been putting out. And, while I haven't had the time to put together much in the way of my own works for the event, that doesn't mean I'll leave you all hanging. So, I've put together this adorable little meme, Ren's Diner!
It even comes with accompanying music! Tom's Diner, by Suzanne Vega! Even has an Acapella version, which you may find appropriate. Great song by the way.
I've been sitting on adapting this song as a White Knight meme since September last year. Once I was listening to this song, I couldn't help but connect it to Weiss and Jaune. It's why I pushed so hard for coffee date to be one of the prompts for this year's White Knight Week.
Putting it all together took a decent amount of work, but I've got all the editing techniques down pretty well by now. So, it came together pretty quick and easy.
A nice little slice of life, a peek into their routine when the world isn't ending. Ren running a little tea and coffee shop, his own little diner. Nora coming to visit and being a little enthusiastic with her greeting, even dragging Ren off the screen during her kiss. Weiss trying to pass things off as if she wasn't interested in what's happening around her, reading the paper and enjoying a nice cup of coffee as she thinks of Jaune. And, once Weiss is done with her coffee, she grabs one to go for him.
If compression hasn't destroyed them, I did actually write little articles for the newspaper. Of course, 'Kooky Cookie At Large' by Lisa Lavender is an excerpt from my 'Pastry Pandemonium' fanfic, a cute little White Knight date night in Mantle. Here are the links, if you're interested. AO3 FFNet.
And, if you're like to read the other articles easier, allow me to add them here.
'What's Next for the SDC?' by N.S. (Nick Schwartz, as the voice actor for the unnamed Atlas Eye reporter from Volume 8 Episode 2)
With the fall of Atlas, the corporate headquarters for the global business conglomerate is gone with much of its
assets. Without clear leadership and the recent criminal conduct of the company's owner, Jacques Schnee, the business is paralyzed.
Prices are soaring with the loss of the most productive Dust mines on Remnant, and the people of Vacuo demand action be taken. Councilmen are currently considering a potential nationalization of SDC assets, or holding them in trust until the culpability of the rest of the Schnee family is determined.
As Weiss Schnee is noted for having arrested her own father, the criminal Jacques Schnee, many believe she should be granted control of the company's remaining assets.
'My Girlfriend and I Beat Up Her Ex, and That Was Kind of Hot!' by Yang Xiao Long.
Ok, so things may have gone a little further than just beating him up. But trust me, he really had it coming to him. Honestly though, it was awesome. And my relationship with my girlfriend has never been better!
And here are the little side quotes on the 'Adam Taurus Dead' article.
"Off the record, I think this is going to be a drunken accident, if you know what I mean. He - ah, fell on his sword." - Says Police Chief
"Both Faunus and Mankind deserve a White Fang that can be a force for good. And it is my sincerest wish that I can help make that happen once again. But also, fuck Adam." - Ghira Belladonna
Outside all that, I do like that line about the actor (Adam) being someone Weiss had never heard of, considering she never got to interact with him.
There are layers to this meme, and I'm quite happy with it. Hope you all enjoy as well! I'll be trying to put together another meme for Sunday, so keep an eye out. Have a wonderful White Knight Week!
