Line 6:
Bob spills his guts. Alice is surprised, initially, but her surprise does not turn into shock, horror, fear, disbelief, or hatred. Instead, Alice... [[The Glomp|glomps Bob]] and commences chewing on his face. [[The Reveal]] is apparently a massive turn on for Alice.
People can react in all sorts of odd ways to unexpected news, but
[[Coitus Ensues|Sex is not always involved]], nor even necessarily a make-out session, but there's always some sort of "[[They Do]]" moment. This trope is one means by which writers may achieve [[Strangled by the Red String|red-string strangulation,]] or a [[Last-Minute Hookup]]. A reveal that involves displaying a physiological abnormality may prompt [[But Your Wings Are Beautiful]].
Line 16:
{{examples}}
== [[Comics]] ==
* There are numerous superheroes who have unmasked themselves to a boyfriend or girlfriend and then immediately made out. Sometimes they do this several times with different people. Heroes on this list include:
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* The 1986 ''[[Highlander]]'' film set one of these up between the secretly-immortal Connor MacLeod and his [[Love Interest]]. Made more remarkable by the fact that Connor made his reveal by [[Immortal Life Is Cheap|stabbing himself in the chest.]]
* Dave in the film version of ''[[Kick-Ass (film)|Kick-Ass]]'' does this to Katie. In fact, it's two reveals in one - one should have shocked her, the other angered. As per the trope, neither are her reaction.
{{quote|
'''Dave''': Because I am Kick-Ass!
'''Katie''': What are you talking about?
'''Dave''': I'm also not gay!
'''Katie''': Fuck! }}
* Astrid in the film of ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]''. Not directly after the reveal, but halfway back to town Toothless grabs her and she's forced to take a flight with Hiccup and Toothless. By the end of that flight she's definitely showing a great deal of affection for Hiccup, including a peck on the cheek. Quite the turnaround from contempt/anger/hatred.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Played straight and then inverted by the final strips of ''[[Bite Me! (webcomic)||Bite Me]]'' when Claire finally reveals her [[Parody Sue|full backstory]] to Lucien. Claire has been flirting with him for the entire comic, but Lucien doesn't really reciprocate until after she's done explaining herself. He starts to indicate a hesitant attraction to her... and then she jumps on him.
