* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Inverted and then played straight with [[spoiler:King, who is introduced as the self-proclaimed King of Demons, despite the fact demons have never had any collective monarchy. Everyone else plays along because it makes King happy, but a major part of King's CharacterDevelopment is finding out he was never really a king of anything, but that's okay because people still care about him regardless. However, it's at first implied, and then confirmed, that he really ''is'' from a very sacred and powerful lineage: he is the last living [[OurTitansAreDifferent Titan]], a race of colossal magical beings of god-like strength that ruled the Demon Realm eons ago and which birthed the various demon species from their decaying bodies. His biological father turns out to be [[GiantCorpseWorld the very landmass of the Boiling Isles]], whom many of the inhabitants basically worship as a quasi-deity.]]

* The inversion listed in ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' gets reversed in ''Fanfic/QueensOfMewni'': everything Star believed was BasedOnAGreatBigLie perpetuated by Eclipsa's ''first'' daughter, Luna the Child, who had been so ashamed of being the daughter of the Queen of Darkness that she rewrote the Book of Spells and used the Locker Spell to erase Eclipsa from Mewni's history entirely, as well as herself from Eclipsa's memory. In reality? Star's a legitimate descendant of Eclipsa from Luna. WordOfGod said she had an ''epic'' HeroicBSOD when she found out all her actions were for nothing.

** Then there's the sequence in Kabumpo in Oz, where it's revealed that a wooden doll is actually a princess. Princess Peg Amy of Sun Top Mountain was transformed into a tree by an evil magician; later, an old man carved a doll from said tree for his goddaughter, and the doll was later brought to life by means of a magic potion. The Princess of Sun Top Mountain was foretold to be the rightful bride of this installment's protagonist Pompa, Prince of Pumperdink. The magician went through all this subterfuge because he wanted to marry the princess himself, and was hoping to keep her isolated and trick Pompa into marrying someone else. Naturally Pompa marries Peg Amy once she's turned back into her human form, and they all live happily ever after, except the magician, who explodes into dust after contact with one of his own potions.
