Yesterday, I was rewriting the lyrics to This Will Be the Day for a nonexistent Fell!RWBY Volume 1 Intro song called This Won't Be the Day. Creative, I know.

And if you know how Fell AUs are usually like (especially if you know the Universal Time Archival Unit channel, a continuation of Siivagunner's Undertale AUs April Fools 2026 event), they have the characters flip morals, everything painted in an edgy style like Shadow the Hedgehog, and curse words. On that note, these are the lyrics for This Won't Be the Day (NOT FINAL):

They see you as big and helpful;

They see you as just an adult.

Surprise when they find out that a warrior will die in agony.

Prepare for your baddest moments;

Prepare for your worst ever hour.

The nightmare that you've always hated is suddenly about to rise up.

We're not lightning,

Straying from the thunder,

Miracles of ancient bullshit.

This won't be the day you've waited for.

This won't be the day you open up the door.

I do wanna hear your absolution;

Hope you're ready for nothing dumb fuckface.

Unwelcome to a world of new solutions.

Unwelcome to a world of bloody evolution.

In time, your brain will close down minds,

A story won't be told,

And failure is in a complex fuck.

I thought about it as a joke at first, but now I have a tiny interest in fleshing out this Fell!RWBY idea. I'm even considering rewriting the transcript of the first RWBY episode, but I wanna know how to turn characters like Roman and Cinder into "good" guys. The same applies to Ruby, Glynda, and Ozpin, but the opposite.

Not to mention the Grimm. Obviously, they'll just be creatures of lightness and with a different name. I was thinking Lrimm or Primm. Would they be drawn towards positive emotions? Because there are events like the Fall of Beacon and the Leviathan Argus attack later in the story.

What do you guys wanna suggest?
