Line 21:
* ''[[Black Butler]]'' has Grelle Sutcliffe, who thinks like this about Sebastian. This has gone to the extent of Grelle yelling that he wants to have Sebastian's babies, complete with roses and sparkles (and a disgusted Sebastian). It's even used to get assistance from Grelle by promising him things such as an entire day to do whatever he likes with Sebastian, or an opportunity to take pictures of Sebastian in sexy poses.
* In ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'', Kyoko has a scene like this where she imagines herself confessing her love to Train.
* Kyouko from ''[[Skip Beat!]]'' lives and breathes this trope.
** She thinks straight out of classic fairy tales, though. Though there might be some overlap.
* From ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' we have Daisuke who thinks this way about Risa Harada, and Risa Harada who [[Loves My Alter Ego|thinks this way about]] Daisuke's [[Alter Ego]] [[Phantom Thief|Dark]].
Line 77:
* In ''[[Roswell]]'', Liz had more than a few elaborate fantasies about her [[Love Interest]] Max coming on to her. They were very nice [[Strawberry Shorthand|strawberries]]...
* In the ''[[Star Trek]]'' the Original Series episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" the eponymous Adonais has everything lined up to be the [[Marty Stu]] hero of his own [[Romance Novel]], pretty little Yeoman and all. {{spoiler|It doesn't work out.}}
* In the new reboot of ''[[V (TV series)|V]]'', it would seem that the heroine's son who's unknowingly dating Cthulu's daughter seems to think that he's just in some cross-cultural successful love story.
* On ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' Blair Waldorf Thinks Like A Romantic Movie, or more specifically romantic films of the golden age Hollywood variety. To the point where her ex-boyfriend thinks the most romantic thing he can do to win her back is give her an ultimatum a la ''[[An Affair to Remember]]''.
* In ''[[The Office]]'', this is one of the main culprits of Michael's personal failures. He consistently tries to live up romantic tropes but ultimately this is doomed because [[This Is Reality]]. {{spoiler|Until he [[Earn Your Happy Ending|marries Holly]], anyway!}}

* Tsubaki in ''[[
* One stage in ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]] 2'' has Christine Kamogawa, an actual romance novelist who draws inspiration from her wild [[Imagine Spot]]s.
Line 97:
== Webcomics ==
* Tsukiko from ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' has this mixed with two other tropes - [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] and [[Insane Troll Logic]]. First, she thinks that because [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Living Are Bastards]], then the Undeads, as the antithesis of life, must be [[Not Evil, Just Misunderstood|really good and just misunderstood]]. This makes her act like she lives in a romance novel with strong ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' overtones, not in fantasy setting based on ''[[Dungeons
