* HomeworkSlave: After Penny gets a B+ on a paper she wrote for community college, it's revealed that it was actually Amy and Bernadette who wrote the paper for her. Penny suggests they shoot for an "A" next time, to which Bernadette says that they wanted to keep it believable, earning her a sharp look from Penny that silences her. After Penny walks away, Bernadette references this trope.
--> '''Bernadette:''' I never thought I'd still be doing the Prom Queen's homework just to get her to like me.
--> '''Amy:''' I know. (suddenly giddy) ''It's finally working!''

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: In "The Higgs Boson Observation" Amy gets concerned that Sheldon hires Alex, an attractive female grad student, as an assistant. They go to his office and Amy immediately starts rubbing various materials and licking the stapler to "spread her scent" and mark her territory, which Penny derides as silly. Later in the episode, after seeing Alex and Leonard acting very friendly with each other, Penny starts acting a lot more possessive of Leonard, even dragging him to the bedroom randomly, essentially doing the same "mark your territory" that Amy was doing.

Fetish Fuel is now just a fan-speak term. It shouldn't be linked to, not even for YMMV purposes. In-universe examples are the Fetish trope.


* FetishFuel: The Franchise/DisneyPrincess costumes are this InUniverse. The three girls play hookey to go to Disneyland, and get a princess makeover. When Bernadette is back home, says she has a surprise for Howard, who says "Please be {{Disney/Cinderella}}". She shows up dressed as that character, and Howard rips his shirt off as they go have sex. When Penny tries to explain why she played hookey, Leonard just sees her dressed as [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Princess Aurora]], and takes off his clothes. Of course Amy dressed as Disney/SnowWhite did nothing for {{Asexual}} Sheldon.

To help make it clear this trope is Fetish Fuel in this episode, not just plain Fetish. I\'m also still wondering how the Disney company was okay with this.
