So, there was a TLP draft for this concept, but it ultimately didn't go anywhere because it didn't seem to actually be "playing with" anything, moreso just "character thinks something that can happen in their universe is happening in their universe".
Draft here
if you're curious.
A character really believes a trope is in play, but it's not.
Sort of like Wrong Genre Savvy, but smaller scale. Maybe an uncommon and yet unnamed version of Playing with a Trope?
