[[Needs a Better Title]]. ''Really'' Needs a Better Title -- even the page creator thinks that this one is an [[Esoteric Trope Names|Esoteric Trope Title]], but can't come up with anything better. Suggestions here (above the page quote), please.

Most people like particular things and dislike other particular things. Some people really like certain things, to the point that everybody else around them knows it.

And then there are these people - the ones who really, ''really'' like something, to the point that the liking is a major (or sole) facet of their personalities, verging on or actually being an obsession with the thing that's liked.

If this attraction is taken out of context - or, in some cases, in context - it can sometimes be seen by in-universe viewers as [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]].

Overlaps with [[Drink Order]] and [[Trademark Favorite Food]], when those are what the character lives for.

Compare with [[Security Blanket]], where the liked item in question gives its owner peace of mind simply by being within sight.

* In ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'', Bell Cranel goes from being a level 1 adventurer to being a level 3 adventurer faster than anybody else takes to go from being level 1 to level 2.
* ''[[Read or Die]]'': Yomiko loves books, and [[Paper Master|the paper in them loves her back]]. The earliest manga chapters show her loving books ''romantically.''
* ''[[Mahoromatic]]'': Chizuko really loves good cooking (but doesn't have a particular [[Trademark Favorite Food]]), to the point that she finds Mahoro's excellent cooking to be [[Orgasmically Delicious]].
* Mikoto in ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'' loves hot springs so much that she can track them down by scent.

* Marvel Comics's [[Thanos]] loves Death - the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]], not the act of killing, which for him is simply a means to the end of being able to see her again.

* ''[[Discworld]]'' has this as the dwarfs' racial attitude toward gold. In more than one novel, it's made clear that their sorrow after a mine cave-in isn't caused by the loss of dwarf life, but rather by the loss of a seam of gold that hadn't been completely mined out yet. As for keeping the gold once they've dug it out of the ground, see the page quote.
