* In VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition fanfic ''FanFic/WalkingInCircles'', when they first meet, Solas comments that Evelyn, while looking delicate and balanced in features, isn't that standout from others. After he falls in love with her, though, he often calls her beautiful, and generally can't resist her even when she definitely isn't (like being emaciated and extremely pale, or looking very hazardous from fighting and running). At one point, he even scoffs at a noble in Halamshiral who calls her plain.

** "The Party": Gumball sees Penny this way when Darwin asks him for her to be his date for Rachel's house party, only for Gumball to remark he sees her as just a friend, although that is clearly a lie judjing by his lovesick expression.

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', "Good Wilt Hunting": The nerd boys who discovered Coco see Frankie this way. Her pointy wild ponytail becomes curled. Her face suddenly becomes made up like you'd see in a magazine, and she has curves that she lacks in reality. The edges of the screen blur into soft focus around her. Butterflies also flutter around her (which may be part of the filter or just imaginary friends, given the environment).

* Whenever Garth sees his Dream Girl in ''WaynesWorld'' the air fills with sparkles and Dream Weaver plays.

* ''Anime/AggressiveRetsuko'': When Retsuko starts crushing on [[CloudCuckoolander Resasuke]], she sees him as having a handsome face rather than his usual perpetually-blank expression. She starts seeing his regular face again when she realizes their relationship isn't working out.

* In Film/{Scoob}, Fred who has been heretofore established as loving the Mystery Machine, gets one when a hot blonde cop pulls them over for speeding. It crashes abruptly when revealed to be a disguise.

* ''Film/SpeedRacer'': Speed Racer and Trixie have a LoveAtFirstSight mutual crush filter. The Wachowski sisters were behind the camera for this movie, so the entire background fell into animated hearts and roses relief around their first look at each other.

If their gait is normally purposeful or unflinching, it is now, thanks to the magic of a crush, a slinky, sexy sway. The air may fill with the sound of singing angels, or some other appropriate romantic MoodMotif. How detailed the fantasy vision is will vary by how family-friendly the medium is.

* In ''Anime/OnePiece'', Boa Hancock once fantasized about Luffy being a total bishonen. In reality, he's... not so pretty (though not ugly either).

* In ''Manga/WagatsumaSanWaOreNoYome'', Komatsu Masao and Yoshiko Tanaka share a moment of mutual crush filtering, only for it to abruptly become extremely onesided.
