History Main / DominoRevelation

* ''CalLeandros'': Elves that call themselves Auphe are first introduced followed by a revelation of hidden monsters like Banshee and Trolls in the world amongst humans.
* ''JaneYellowrock'': The main hereon is a skin-walker, she fights vampires and has a witch for a best friend.

* ''TheHollows'': Witches and vampires exist, so why not ghosts, demons, and other such creatures?
* ''TheOtherworld'': the woman of the other world are all sorts of supernatural types. We have witches, werewolves, nercourgists, half-demons, and angels. Of course this trope is in full effect.
* ''TheSookieStackhouseMysteries'': After the vampires have their coming out party we meet shifters, werewolves, weretigers, fairies, and several other supernaturals.
* ''SoulScreamers'': If the fact the main character is a banshee isn't enough, there are reapers, angels, and demons all hell bent on human souls.

* ''PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Satyrs, the Minotaur, Greek gods, centaurs, nymphs... Again, the list is rather long.

* ''ShinMegamiTenseiI'': Angels, demons, and god....yes its all real.

It get's a good bit of use in ''UrbanFantasy'' and ''SteamPunk'' works as well.

* ''The Harry Potter Films'' Are ALL about this! Young, neglected nobody Harry Potter finds out that magic is real, and that he's a wizard, and that he's a famous wizard, he's famous because he's the boy who stopped the most dangerous dark wizard of all time who killed his parents, because Harry is the Chosen One, and because he's the Chosen One the most dangerous wizard of all time You Know Who has a conection to Harry's mind, so the teacher who hates Harry teaches him mental powers, during which Harry learns that his Dad was a complete dick to the teacher which is why the teacher hates him, but what's more is that actually the teacher hates him because he loved her mother and has secretly been working to destroy the most dangerous wizard of all time. And that's the short version of how far down the rabbit hole Harry's revelations go!

* ''{{Fringe}}'': Similar to ''The X-Files'' with aliens, mind control, and other weird things being revealed.

* ''{{The X-Files}}'': Earliest TV example of this trope; from MonsterofTheWeek to aliens in the basement with werewolves, wild men, demonic beings, and eventually BodyHorror and evil spirits... this series had it all.
* ''TrueBlood'': Vampires first, shapeshifters, then goddesses, werewolves, fae, werepanthers, and witches.
* ''VampireDiaries'': Again vampires first then we learn that witches and werewolves also exist.

* In the first ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' movie, Elizabeth Swann finds out that cursed pirates are real. The next three movies confirm the reality of [[AllMythsAreTrue pretty much every myth or legend ever told concerning the sea]].

* ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' does this with {{Awful Truth}}s. In the wake of [[spoiler:Mami's death]], Kyouko's appearance shows that few magical girls are as altruistic as [[spoiler:Mami]] was. This leads to Sayaka's confrontation with Kyouko on the bridge, where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Soul Gems literally [[OurLichesAreDifferent contain the soul of a magical girl]]]]. This, in turn, leads Sayaka to [[spoiler:fall into despair, corrupting her Soul Gem and revealing that a corrupted Soul Gem doesn't break or disappear, but instead turns into a Grief Seed]], a revelation which prompts Kyubey to explain to Madoka [[spoiler:the true nature of the magical girl system]]. Additionally, the process of [[spoiler:Sayaka falling into despair]] leads to a chain of events resulting in the revelation that [[spoiler:Homura has some form of time travel/timeline changing ability]]. Basically, the revelations show piece-by-piece how the inner workings of the fairly cliche-looking premise are actually [[DarkerAndEdgier terrible, terrible things]].

Imagine that one day you find out you belong to a family of witches on your mother's side, when you once thought witches were only fictional. Only a few days later you meet ghosts who need your help. Trying to solve their problem, you run into a vampire who wants your blood for his own unique magics. All of you team up with a demon who wants to prove [[DarkIsNotEvil he got a bad rap]], and magic happens around you on a regular basis. Suddenly your best friend tells you she's an animal-shifter, and you also find out that your neighbors are a half-angel and a wizard.

Such a story {{arc}} features ''DominoRevelation'': The protagonist gradually finds out that [[AllMythsAreTrue some stories and legends]] are true or based in fact, and that instead of living in a "normal" world, she lives in a FantasyKitchenSink. When each discovery leads to the next, the process resembles the knocking over of dominoes, hence the name. This trope is often invoked in UrbanFantasy.
