The Reveal Prompts Romance: Difference between revisions

People can react in all sorts of odd ways to unexpected news, but [['''The Reveal Prompts Romance]]''' stands out as one of the more outrageous ways that a character can respond to something that should, realistically, make him or her feel alienated from the person who made [[The Reveal]]. The reason for this is most likely that such a disclosure immediately creates a sense of intimacy between the two people. The person receiving the disclosure may also suddenly feel special and connected to the one disclosing for having been chosen. Sometimes it makes sense, but more often, it's one of those things that brings out the [[Fridge Logic]], especially if the couple in question weren't in a relationship with each other before the revelation.

[['''The Reveal Prompts Romance]]''' is most often used between the male [[The Hero|hero]] (who is doing the reveal) and female (who is responding with romance) [[Love Interest|lead]] of a story, right before or right after the climax. Who initiates the "romance" after the reveal varies, but it's never non-consensual.
