All she did was claim to have [[CelebrityLie celebrity connections]] that the others wanted to take advantage of; ''they'' invented the idea that Marinette was secretly bullying her all on their own in order to "justify" how easily they turned upon her.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Goh several times over:
** While he claims that he's always been there for his ChildhoodFriend Chloe, in practice, the two of them [[TheFriendsWhoNeverHang never spend any time together]]. When she calls him out on this, he retorts that he's been busy [[GoalInLife chasing his dreams]] -- adding that she can't ''possibly'' understand what that's like because she doesn't ''have'' any (due to the fact that she's not allowed to as all her classmates are pressuring her to be into Pokémon and he's never at school, unless it's for tests, for him to see it for himself). This serves as the catalyst for Chloe running away and boarding the Train.
** Similarly, Goh didn't make any effort to find out ''why'' Tokio wasn't able to meet up with him like they'd planned -- Tokio fell ill -- leaping to the conclusion that he'd deliberately ditched him.
** Over time, Goh convinces himself that ''Chloe'' was a fair-weather friend to him, since she stopped trying to reach out to him and repair their fraying friendship. The fact that [[NeverMyFault HE didn't make any effort]] until ''after'' she boarded the Train, and has mainly concerned himself with 'saving' her [[StatusQuoIsGod so everything can go back to exactly how it was before]], is completely lost upon him.
** He also turns on Ash [[InternalReveal after learning that]] Ash has [[RelationshipUpgrade gotten together with Trip]], getting ''incredibly jealous'' of the notion that ''HIS'' friend could be close to anybody else. He even considers [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset outing Ash in hopes of hurting him]] and ruining his reputation; at one point, he's briefly ''giddy'' over the prospect that Delia might [[IHaveNoSon disown her son]] upon learning about it, unaware that she already knows about and accepts his relationship.
** Eventually, Goh is confronted and called out on this [[BreakThemByTalking so harshly]] that he [[spoiler:suffers a massive breakdown -- one so severe that he ends up boarding the Train himself]].

While it's justified by her disillusionment with Starling City due to all the chaos and suffering the city has gone through in the past three years, at the end of the day she's still abandoning her friends in their time of need to maintain her "perfect life" with Oliver. [[spoiler:When they find out she abandoned them and kept Oliver away, they all implicitly end their friendships with her]]. Her actions also have the effect of making them assume Oliver is this as well, [[spoiler:up until he makes it back to Starling to help and explains what really happened]].

She's lamenting Laurel's choices and blames herself for Laurel becoming a vigilante but doesn't actually do anything to help deal with the situation, like convincing Laurel to turn herself in peacefully. [[spoiler:Then, after Laurel saves the world and is pardoned, she's all up for returning to Starling and reuniting their family despite clear disinterest in previous years, even after Sara came back home]].

The only exceptions to this are the Drazi, Hyach, Markab, Narn, and especially the Dilgar, as all of them stood by the EA and helped them out.

When Liam, Rusty and Zach want answers anyway, he retorts that they've already shown themselves to be fickle "friends" in the past, having turned upon him during other incidents. While initially hurt, the trio later acknowledge that he's right; they really ''haven't'' given him much reason to trust them.
[[AC:''Manga/LoveHina'']]
* Motoko runs afoul of this in ''Fanfic/AnAlternateKeitaroUrashima'':
** Her GirlPosse of devoted {{Fangirl}}s repeatedly harass Keitaro on her behalf; when he snaps back at them and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tells them off]], Motoko challenges him to a duel... and loses. Said fangirls promptly abandon her, deciding that she wasn't as strong as they'd thought she was and thusly wasn't worth their attention.
** Naru had wagered that Motoko would win the duel; when she lost, Naru was [[OrderedApology forced to apologize]] to Keitaro for ''her'' latest [[UnprovokedPervertPayback assault attempt]]. This blow to her pride made her [[NoSympathy completely unsympathetic]] to Motoko's struggles; when Motoko [[spoiler:gets arrested]], Naru declares that the HumiliationConga she's going through "serves her right".
* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': After resident [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] Keitaro [[GrewASpine stands up for himself]] and leaves the Hinata Inn, the girls find that their {{Karma Houdini Warrant|y}}ies are expiring left and right. Tensions swiftly rise, causing friendships to fray at the seams as some of the tenants reveal themselves as fair-weather friends to the others.
** Naru proves to be the queen of this, due to her extremely [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed attitude]] and MoralMyopia. She twists herself into knots [[NeverMyFault blaming everyone else]] for her troubles, setting every last one of her connections aflame while insisting it's ''their'' fault that she's attacking them. When the dust settles down, she then expects the people she hurt to [[CrossingTheBurntBridge welcome her with open arms]], only to find that she's not so EasilyForgiven.
** [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Shinobu]] was treated as the group's {{Protectorate}}... until she starts speaking up more about how often they went into PervertRevengeMode when [[UnprovokedPervertPayback Keitaro hadn't done anything to deserve it]]. Naru and Motoko ''immediately'' turn upon her, to the point that Naru is on the verge of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating her up]] for the high crime of [[DisproportionateRetribution standing up for herself]] while Motoko [[AccompliceByInaction coldly stands aside and watches]].
** Sarah expects Naru, Motoko, and the rest of the Hinata Girls to come racing to her rescue after her bratty behavior gets her [[OffToBoardingSchool shipped off to a strict boarding school]]. None of them ever show up, and she eventually realizes that she was never on their radar to begin with.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/BurningBridgesBuildingConfidence'' paints most of Marinette's classmates as these; despite praising her as their 'Everyday Ladybug', they're quick to side with [[ManipulativeBitch Lila]] and her [[CelebrityLie exciting yarns]], believing her MaliciousSlander. This is especially true of Alya and Adrien. Alya is the loudest and most vicious about confronting Marinette with all of Lila's accusations, while Adrien is well aware of Lila's true nature, but chooses to blame ''Marinette'' and insist that she needs to stop trying to expose her, as her lies 'aren't hurting anyone'... aside from Marinette herself, who apparently doesn't count.
* ''Fanfic/{{Couturiere}}'': Having all of her classmates swallow Lila's BlatantLies and turn against her -- with Adrien, who knows the truth but opts to [[BetrayalByInaction stand aside]] and not say anything against Lila -- causes Marinette's akumatization into the titular akuma. Hawkmoth keeps her under his control by reminding her of how ''easily'' Alya and the rest turned, asking [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what would prevent them from doing so again the moment she wasn't powerful anymore]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44744269/chapters/112576217 Hey, You Broke Up With Me (What Can I Say Babe, You Broke Up With Me)]]'' has ''Juleka'' go through this treatment. Over the summer, she participates in several small movie projects; the day after getting into a huge argument with most of her classmates, the movies start debuting, and the very same people who were insulting and belittling her mere hours before abruptly act like they're her "best friends", trying to convince her to do favors for them for clout. Rose is especially eager to reclaim Juleka as her "super-famous girlfriend", only for Juleka to remind her that they'd broken up ''months'' ago and reveal that she'd already moved on.
* ''Fanfic/{{I See What You Do Behind Closed Doors|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** Not only does Adrien refuse to do anything about Lila's constant manipulation and MaliciousSlander, he gets annoyed when Marinette calls him out on his continued BetrayalByInaction after they start dating. After all, the only reason he's dating Marinette in the first place is so he can fantasize about being with Ladybug instead... unaware that [[LovesMyAlterEgo she IS Ladybug]].
** After Lila's true nature is [[LiarRevealed finally revealed]], most of the class promptly attempts to mend fences with Marinette... while refusing to acknowledge that [[IWarnedYou she warned them]]. Or rather, only acknowledging that little detail while trying to convince her that it was ''[[NeverMyFault her fault]]'' that [[CassandraTruth they didn't believe her]]. Naturally, Marinette is unimpressed, and she calls them out on their fickleness, making clear that while she ''might'' have been able to forgive them for wanting to believe things that were TooGoodToBeTrue, their attempts to pin the blame on ''her'' have only convinced her that there's no point in doing so, as they haven't learned anything from their mistakes.
* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'':
** Most of Marinette's friends from class prove to be this, effectively abandoning their 'Everyday Ladybug' in favor of Lila's false promises. Notably, they expect Marinette to ''continue'' catering to their whims; even ''Lila'' notes that they're [[TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity taking Mari's help completely for granted]]. Out of the entire class, only [[spoiler:Juleka and Rose]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone recognize how they wronged her]]; the rest [[EntitledBastard expect]] to be [[EasilyForgiven instantly forgiven]] after learning her SecretIdentity.
** Alya acts particularly entitled; upon witnessing Ladybug being [[TheUnmasking unmasked]] while taking down Hawkmoth, she squeals with delight at the notion that she's "Ladybug's best friend", while blithely ignoring how she'd been ignoring her existence in favor of Lila. She also expects Marinette to ''compensate'' her for all the time she spent LockedOutOfTheLoop with exclusive interviews, letting her and her boyfriend Nino become permanent heroes, ''and'' letting them reveal their own secret identities on her Ladyblog for the extra press.
** Adrien also proves himself to be one; despite knowing that Lila's a ConArtist, he lets her keep scamming his friends because it might ''inconvenience'' him to call her out. He claims that Marinette [[BecauseYouCanCope can easily handle being shunned]], despite how he himself [[{{Hypocrite}} doesn't want to deal with the others getting angry]] by telling them something they don't want to hear.
** Chloé comes to recognize Adrien as one after her JerkassRealization; while he was fully aware that her entitled, bratty behavior and bullying weren't doing her any favors, he never made any ''real'' effort to call her out or teach her the error of her ways. He simply avoided acknowledging that she was his ChildhoodFriend unless he saw some way that he might benefit from it, such as when he attempts to recruit her to help convince Marinette to let the class [[AllTakeAndNoGive keep taking advantage of her]].
** Ironically, the class actually ''subverts'' this when it comes to [[spoiler:Adrien. They're willing to stick by and support him when the rest of Paris suspects him of aiding his terrorist father, tarnishing their own reputations by defending him. But once they learn how he let Lila manipulate them, they all turn on him for his BetrayalByInaction]].
* ''[[https://salthaven.tumblr.com/post/190458693897/ A Lady's Scout (and the Salt within her Soul)]]'' paints most of Marinette's classmates this way. After they ditch her in favor of Lila and her {{Celebrity Lie}}s, Marinette subtly drops hints that she knows the secret identities of the temporary heroes, giving them various pieces of attire themed around their heroic counterparts... around the time that they're replaced. As rumors spread that she's some kind of 'hero scout', several of her former friends promptly abandon Lila and start vying for ''her'' favor, hoping that they can worm their way into Ladybug's good graces by buttering up Marinette.
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'':
** Adrien takes an interest in Marinette and her friends when he starts suspecting that they might be connected to Ladybug, zeroing in on her in particular. After [[spoiler:seeing Future!Ladybug checking on Marinette during the Timebreaker incident]], he decides he must have been wrong and immediately starts ignoring her, Aurore, and the rest. He then gets annoyed when Jean calls him out on this.
** Nino also shows shades of this. While he promises Marinette that [[RichBitch Chloé]] isn't involved in his movie-making project, he decides not to warn her when this changes, as he knows Marinette is trying to avoid her long-time bully and wouldn't want to come if she knew she was there. He [[BlamingTheVictim blames Marinette for this]], acting [[EntitledBastard entitled to her help]], and generally trampling over the boundaries of ''everyone'' involved with the project. The whole debacle leaves Marinette seriously questioning [[AllTakeAndNoGive the nature of their friendship]].
* In ''Fanfic/LongCon'', it's Lila who calls the whole class out on this when they finally confront her, pointing out that they refused to heed any of Marinette's warnings, then let her (seemingly) get roped into Lila's deception and let her continue to be strung along even as they each gradually figured out the truth for themselves:
-->'''Lila:''' My point is, I told you all what you wanted to hear. You thought I was your ticket to stardom, and you thought Marinette would get in the way of that. So you pushed her away. The minute she became an inconvenience to you, you tossed her out like yesterday's garbage.\\
'''Alya:''' That's not true!\\
'''Lila:''' Isn't it? Tell me, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why are you all just now confronting me]]? I saw how frustrated you all were, carrying my things and doing favors for me. But none of you said anything. Adrien, you knew for ''months'' that I was a fake, and you didn't say anything. So, again I ask, why ''now''? I'll tell you why. Because all that time you were waiting for Marinette, your 'everyday Ladybug', to fix your mess for you. Just like you expected her to bring you pastries, or make clothes for you, or babysit, or host some stupid sports festival, or ''take the high road''.\\
''(Adrien goes white upon hearing this, while she chuckles)''\\
'''Lila:''' Oh yes, I know all about that. Marinette told me how ''lucky'' she was that she listened to you, that she would have missed out on such ''a good friend'' otherwise. Admit it, Adrien. You didn't care about being 'the bigger person', or whatever bull you told her. You just didn't want to deal with the drama. You didn't say anything because you were afraid ''you'' would get caught in the crossfire. When Alya confronted me that day in class, she was only concerned about how ''she'' was affected, about her blog's reputation. I mean honestly, it's not ''my'' fault you guys are too stupid to look things up. But then you realized that Marinette couldn't help you this time, so you finally got off your butts and decided to deal with the problem. Not that it matters.
* ''Fanfic/OfPatienceAndPettiness'': While Lila is quickly exposed here, Alya, Adrien, and the majority of Marinette's classmates [[NeverMyFault refuse to admit their mistakes]], [[TheScapegoat pinning all the blame on Lila]] and expecting to be EasilyForgiven for how they turned on Marinette.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Recommencer|MiraculousLadybug}}'', Marinette transfers out of Collége Francoise Dupont after seeing how swiftly her classmates abandoned her in favor of Lila.
* ''Fanfic/{{The Wolves in the Woods|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** In this particular work, Lila didn't actually ''intend'' to turn Marinette's classmates against her so completely, having expected that all their years of growing up alongside Marinette and everything she'd done for them would amount to more. Alas, the majority are all too willing to ditch their 'Everyday Ladybug' and replace her with a better model: Lila herself, as she realizes that they expect her to step up and [[AllTakeAndNoGive do whatever they want for free]], just like [[HourglassPlot Marinette before her]]. And given how they're openly ''bragging'' about being self-proclaimed {{Bully Hunter}}s who drove Marinette away, she's naturally terrified at the potential consequences of them learning about how she lied.
** Adrien claims that he just wants everyone to get along, but refuses to intervene even as he watches almost all of his friends turn upon Marinette. He only speaks up once ''he's'' personally inconvenienced, and [[BlamingTheVictim blames Marinette]] for transferring out of the toxic, hostile environment their classroom had become.
** Alya turns out to be the worst of the lot. While she insists that she was motivated by fear that Marinette's recent successes as a fashion designer would [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism go to her head]], she was actually DrivenByEnvy and chose to "[[TallPoppySyndrome cut her down to size]]" by supporting Lila's campaign against her and [[ToxicFriendInfluence encouraging the whole class]] to turn on her. When Marinette transfers away, she's ''furious'' and hellbent upon [[EntitledToHaveYou getting her back]], all while insisting that [[NeverMyFault nobody should blame her]] for driving Marinette away in the first place. When Nino eventually [[InternalReveal learns about all of this]], he's left wondering if [[WasItAllALie she ever cared about him or anyone else at all]].
[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
* ''Fanfic/BuildYourselfUpDontLetThemBreakYouDown'': The students and staff of Aldera Middle School attempt to [[InvertedTrope invert this]]. After spending years bullying Izuku or turning a blind eye to said bullying, they attempt to kiss up to him once Hawks publicly defends him, hoping to ride his coattails or prevent him from exposing the way they treated him before.
* In the ''Fanfic/DecrescenteSeries'', [[spoiler:Izuku himself]] abandons Katsuki after he punches one of their classmates.
* ''Fanfic/{{Dekugate}}'': The titular online community is extremely toxic, filled with {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s who hate Izuku for ''[[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence existing]]'' and spinning insane theories about how he's not ''really'' All Might's son. When one of their number complains about how "Deku" ruined her chance to spend a few hours not just [[LoonyFan stalking All Might]], but playing with him while disguised as a dog, the massive backlash she receives from members who [[EveryoneHasStandards don't agree with her methods]] makes her former friends scramble to delete any evidence that they'd ever supported her.
* ''Fanfic/FailureToExplode'': Once Katsuki [[PointOfDivergence fails to get into U.A.]], he promptly loses his BigJerkOnCampus status: none of his former lackeys are willing to follow him around anymore, and the teachers are no longer willing to turn a blind eye towards his {{Barbaric Bully}}ing.
* ''Fanfic/InASkyOfAMillionStars'': All of Bakugou Katsuki's lackeys prove to be this when he briefly returns to Aldera Junior High after Izuku's suicide attempt. Despite him clearly not being alright and still trying to cope with the situation, they avoid him and instead join in on the growing rumor mill. Obviously, after Katsuki hits his RageBreakingPoint and blows up the cafeteria, it's not hard for him to skip out on school altogether and enroll in Aldera's CorrespondenceCourse a few months later. The situation ultimately feeds into Katsuki's GuiltComplex, as it proves an AwfulTruth: despite Katsuki treating him like shit, Izuku really was his OnlyFriend.
* ''Fanfic/KeepYourFriendsClose'' revolves around an exercise where students are divided into "hero" and "villain" teams, with the twist that [[spoiler:everyone on the villain team aside from Hatsune and Midoriya]] is a DoubleAgent. This takes a serious toll on Izuku's ability to ''trust'' anyone, as he comes to see them all as willing to compromise their ideals and betray him... for what? To do well on an ''exam''...? As far as he's concerned, they failed the SecretTestOfCharacter.
* Goes both ways in ''Fanfic/QuirkSequencer''. Once Izuku awakens the titular Quirk, many of his former bullies start cozying up to him. Izuku, for his part, takes advantage of this to get his hands on their DNA in order to make his ability stronger.
* ''Fanfic/WaitingIsWorthIt'': Katsuki calls out his elementary school class for collectively being this. The class isolated and bullied Katsuki when rumors spread of him attacking a girl. Then the class turned their backs on the girl when it came out that she lied about the attack.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/YourMoveInstigatorDrawYourWeaponAndHoldYourTongue'': The Allied Mothers Force was founded in the name of protecting their children. Yet when Haruno Mebuki's four-year-old daughter is being forcibly enrolled in a special class at the Academy that will prepare her to become a {{Child Soldier|s}} at the tender age of ''five'', the rest of the members refuse to help her fight back, kicking her out of the group. Note that most of the members come from Konoha's more powerful clans, giving them prestige that Mebuki lacks... and most of their children are protected by virtue of being clan heirs. But they're unwilling to use that clout to help her out.
[[AC:''Franchise/OnePiece'']]
* In ''Fanfic/TrappedInEternity'', Garp believes that the Spade Pirates abandoned Ace after he was captured and subjected to ColdBloodedTorture by another crew, as they thought he was "weak" for being caught in the first place. In reality, the incident Ace described happened in [[GroundhogPeggySue one of Ace's past loops]], ending with ''his death'' -- he only told Garp about it in order to explain why his personality had changed.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* At the beginning of ''Fanfic/PokemonStrangledRed'', Red's mom gushes to Steven about how her son looks up to him, but she won't talk to him at all after his Charizard dies, and he gives everything up out of grief.
[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{Raise}}'': While Pyrrha doesn't come from a FriendlessBackground, all of her friends either abandoned her during her gradual rise to fame because they weren't getting all the benefits they wanted to milk out of their relationship, or turned into mooching parasites she was forced to cut off herself. She finds her friendship with Jaune to be an immense relief due to their CommonalityConnection: both of them have learned the hard way that CelebrityIsOverrated.
* ''Fanfic/ServiceWithASmile'': While Russell gets along well with Velvet, he stands by and watches whenever she [[FantasticRacism gets bullied for being a Faunus]]. Eventually, [[spoiler:he starts growing out of this]].
[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'']]
* Picachuyou's ''Fanfic/UndertaleFanNovelization'' gives Frisk several of these. During the prologue, [[AdaptationalGenderIdentity her]] friends agree to meet up with her and explore Mt. Ebott together, but nobody comes.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/BartSimpsonAndTheBoyWhoLived'': Ron initially gets along well with Bart, but immediately turns upon him once Bart gets Sorted into Slytherin, ignoring the fact that Bart is also Muggleborn and thusly faces FantasticRacism from his new housemates. He gets extremely upset when Harry and Hermione don't share his seething hatred of the whole house, reducing Hermione to tears with some of his vicious accusations, and Harry warns him that he won't consider Ron to be his friend anymore if he doesn't knock it off. Ultimately, [[spoiler:Ron then subverts this when he returns to help Bart, Harry and Hermione seize the Philosopher's Stone before Voldemort can obtain it]].
* During Vox's interview with Velvette in Chapter 4 of ''Fanfic/ADivineRomanticComedy'' (''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''), the fashion/social media Overlord states that she'd have tried to bag Lucifer had the opportunity ever presented itself. When Vox laughs at the notion that she'd ever leave the Vees for a shot at being Lucifer's paramour, her casual, uncaring silence makes it clear that, yes, she most certainly would ditch her VillainousFriendship with Vox and Val for more power without a second thought.
* ''Fanfic/HangingTenSaga'': Heidi counts as this to Lo in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6331445/5/Hanging-Ten Hanging Ten]]''. While at first she seems nice enough, Heidi soon abandons Lo since she considers Lo a "surf nut". Lo then comes to the sad conclusion that all of her school friends are like that and that she never had any true friends before meeting the other surfers. {{Subverted}} in a sequel story, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12094997/1/Hanging-Ten-My-Cyber-Sweet-Sixteen Hanging Ten: My Cyber-Sweet Sixteen]]'', where another friend from Lo's school, Flor, shows up and immediately proves herself a true friend by making Heidi apologize for her behavior.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Goh several times over:
** While he claims that he's always been there for his ChildhoodFriend Chloe, in practice, the two of them [[TheFriendsWhoNeverHang never spend any time together]]. When she calls him out on this, he retorts that he's been busy [[GoalInLife chasing his dreams]] -- adding that she can't ''possibly'' understand what that's like because she doesn't ''have'' any (due to the fact that she's not allowed to as all her classmates are pressuring her to be into Pokémon and he's never at school, unless it's for tests, for him to see it for himself). This serves as the catalyst for Chloe running away and boarding the Train.
** Similarly, Goh didn't make any effort to find out ''why'' Tokio wasn't able to meet up with him like they'd planned -- Tokio fell ill -- leaping to the conclusion that he'd deliberately ditched him.
** Over time, Goh convinces himself that ''Chloe'' was a fair-weather friend to him, since she stopped trying to reach out to him and repair their fraying friendship. The fact that [[NeverMyFault HE didn't make any effort]] until ''after'' she boarded the Train, and has mainly concerned himself with 'saving' her [[StatusQuoIsGod so everything can go back to exactly how it was before]], is completely lost upon him.
** He also turns on Ash [[InternalReveal after learning that]] Ash has [[RelationshipUpgrade gotten together with Trip]], getting ''incredibly jealous'' of the notion that ''HIS'' friend could be close to anybody else. He even considers [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset outing Ash in hopes of hurting him]] and ruining his reputation; at one point, he's briefly ''giddy'' over the prospect that Delia might [[IHaveNoSon disown her son]] upon learning about it, unaware that she already knows about and accepts his relationship.
** Eventually, Goh is confronted and called out on this [[BreakThemByTalking so harshly]] that he [[spoiler:suffers a massive breakdown -- one so severe that he ends up boarding the Train himself]].
* ''Fanfic/TheRejuvenationverse'': ''Final Curtain'' reveals that [[UpperClassTwit Jet Set and Upper Crust]] were both quite friendly with Baron Brittler Borax... right up until Candance brought him down, spurring them to drop him without a second thought.
* ''Fanfic/ASongOfLightAndDark'': One of the Eorzean Alliance's biggest problems with Ishgard is that they're effectively this, unwilling to actually assist any of the other members when they need help. When the Dravanians sign up, Ishgard complains about their [[ArchEnemy Arch-Enemies]] being accepted... so the city-states boot Ishgard out and replace them with Zenith.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Two Kinds|DannyPhantomLadybug}}'': Valerie gets unceremoniously booted out of the A-listers after her father is fired; now that she's no longer wealthy, the other members want nothing more to do with her. The only exception is fellow ''former'' member Adrien. When he calls her in order to check up on her and see how she's doing, Valerie realizes this is precisely ''why'' he left the group.

* ''Fanfic/LivingInAFrogWorld'': Anne [[WeUsedToBeFriends used to be friends]] with Frank Ramirez, the protagonist of the story, but [[ToxicFriendInfluence Sasha convinced her]] to abandon him when he refused to comply to her manipulations... and, eventually, to steal from his family's thrift store.
[[AC:''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/WhatItTakes'':
** Felicity proves to be this to the ''extreme'' at the start of the story. When she finds out about what's happening in Starling, her heart "goes out" to Laurel and the others but she immediately decides not to help them, and to make sure Oliver doesn't find out what's going on so he can't leave to help them either, so that way he won't get himself killed. While it's justified by her disillusionment with Starling City due to all the chaos and suffering the city has gone through in the past three years, at the end of the day she's still abandoning her friends in their time of need to maintain her "perfect life" with Oliver. [[spoiler:When they find out she abandoned them and kept Oliver away, they all implicitly end their friendships with her]]. Her actions also have the effect of making them assume Oliver is this as well, [[spoiler:up until he makes it back to Starling to help and explains what really happened]].
** Dinah, Laurel and Sara's mother. She's lamenting Laurel's choices and blames herself for Laurel becoming a vigilante but doesn't actually do anything to help deal with the situation, like convincing Laurel to turn herself in peacefully. [[spoiler:Then, after Laurel saves the world and is pardoned, she's all up for returning to Starling and reuniting their family despite clear disinterest in previous years, even after Sara came back home]]. Naturally, Laurel isn't having any of it, [[spoiler:and disowns Dinah alongside Quentin]].
[[AC:''Series/BabylonFive'']]
* ''Fanfic/AFightingChance'': Earth sees much of the League and the Centauri this way after the first few battles of the war, as most of their supposed allies effectively abandoned them when the Milbari attacked. The only exceptions to this are the Drazi, Hyach, Markab, Narn, and especially the Dilgar, as all of them stood by the EA and helped them out. When Londo attempts to negotiate with the EA in the wake of the Battle of the Line, he receives a far frostier response than before, and only gets anywhere by offering extremely crucial war-sensitive information in exchange.
[[AC:''Manga/{{Bleach}}'']]
* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/896232/chapters/1730901 Wanderlust]]'': Ichigo doesn't call his friends this, but the narrative implies they are after they abandon him when he loses his powers.

* ''Fanfic/WhatIsAPersonWorth'': Lincoln decides that the only friends he's willing to trust are Clyde and Ronnie Anne, refusing to tell the rest what's been going on. When Liam, Rusty and Zach want answers anyway, he retorts that they've already shown themselves to be fickle "friends" in the past, having turned upon him during other incidents. While initially hurt, the trio later acknowledge that he's right; they really ''haven't'' given him much reason to trust them.
[[AC:''Manga/LoveHina'']]
* Motoko runs afoul of this in ''Fanfic/AnAlternateKeitaroUrashima'':
** Her GirlPosse of devoted {{Fangirl}}s repeatedly harass Keitaro on her behalf; when he snaps back at them and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tells them off]], Motoko challenges him to a duel... and loses. Said fangirls promptly abandon her, deciding that she wasn't as strong as they'd thought she was and thusly wasn't worth their attention.
** Naru had wagered that Motoko would win the duel; when she lost, Naru was [[OrderedApology forced to apologize]] to Keitaro for ''her'' latest [[UnprovokedPervertPayback assault attempt]]. This blow to her pride made her [[NoSympathy completely unsympathetic]] to Motoko's struggles; when Motoko [[spoiler:gets arrested]], Naru declares that the HumiliationConga she's going through "serves her right".
* ''Fanfic/ForHisOwnSake'': After resident [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] Keitaro [[GrewASpine stands up for himself]] and leaves the Hinata Inn, the girls find that their {{Karma Houdini Warrant|y}}ies are expiring left and right. Tensions swiftly rise, causing friendships to fray at the seams as some of the tenants reveal themselves as fair-weather friends to the others.
** Naru proves to be the queen of this, due to her extremely [[ItsAllAboutMe self-absorbed attitude]] and MoralMyopia. She twists herself into knots [[NeverMyFault blaming everyone else]] for her troubles, setting every last one of her connections aflame while insisting it's ''their'' fault that she's attacking them. When the dust settles down, she then expects the people she hurt to [[CrossingTheBurntBridge welcome her with open arms]], only to find that she's not so EasilyForgiven.
** [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Shinobu]] was treated as the group's {{Protectorate}}... until she starts speaking up more about how often they went into PervertRevengeMode when [[UnprovokedPervertPayback Keitaro hadn't done anything to deserve it]]. Naru and Motoko ''immediately'' turn upon her, to the point that Naru is on the verge of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating her up]] for the high crime of [[DisproportionateRetribution standing up for herself]] while Motoko [[AccompliceByInaction coldly stands aside and watches]].
** Sarah expects Naru, Motoko, and the rest of the Hinata Girls to come racing to her rescue after her bratty behavior gets her [[OffToBoardingSchool shipped off to a strict boarding school]]. None of them ever show up, and she eventually realizes that she was never on their radar to begin with.
[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''Fanfic/BurningBridgesBuildingConfidence'' paints most of Marinette's classmates as these; despite praising her as their 'Everyday Ladybug', they're quick to side with [[ManipulativeBitch Lila]] and her [[CelebrityLie exciting yarns]], believing her MaliciousSlander. This is especially true of Alya and Adrien. Alya is the loudest and most vicious about confronting Marinette with all of Lila's accusations, while Adrien is well aware of Lila's true nature, but chooses to blame ''Marinette'' and insist that she needs to stop trying to expose her, as her lies 'aren't hurting anyone'... aside from Marinette herself, who apparently doesn't count.
* ''Fanfic/{{Couturiere}}'': Having all of her classmates swallow Lila's BlatantLies and turn against her -- with Adrien, who knows the truth but opts to [[BetrayalByInaction stand aside]] and not say anything against Lila -- causes Marinette's akumatization into the titular akuma. Hawkmoth keeps her under his control by reminding her of how ''easily'' Alya and the rest turned, asking [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what would prevent them from doing so again the moment she wasn't powerful anymore]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44744269/chapters/112576217 Hey, You Broke Up With Me (What Can I Say Babe, You Broke Up With Me)]]'' has ''Juleka'' go through this treatment. Over the summer, she participates in several small movie projects; the day after getting into a huge argument with most of her classmates, the movies start debuting, and the very same people who were insulting and belittling her mere hours before abruptly act like they're her "best friends", trying to convince her to do favors for them for clout. Rose is especially eager to reclaim Juleka as her "super-famous girlfriend", only for Juleka to remind her that they'd broken up ''months'' ago and reveal that she'd already moved on.
* ''Fanfic/{{I See What You Do Behind Closed Doors|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** Not only does Adrien refuse to do anything about Lila's constant manipulation and MaliciousSlander, he gets annoyed when Marinette calls him out on his continued BetrayalByInaction after they start dating. After all, the only reason he's dating Marinette in the first place is so he can fantasize about being with Ladybug instead... unaware that [[LovesMyAlterEgo she IS Ladybug]].
** After Lila's true nature is [[LiarRevealed finally revealed]], most of the class promptly attempts to mend fences with Marinette... while refusing to acknowledge that [[IWarnedYou she warned them]].

* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'':
** Most of Marinette's friends from class prove to be this, effectively abandoning their 'Everyday Ladybug' in favor of Lila's false promises. Notably, they expect Marinette to ''continue'' catering to their whims; even ''Lila'' notes that they're [[TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity taking Mari's help completely for granted]]. Out of the entire class, only [[spoiler:Juleka and Rose]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone recognize how they wronged her]]; the rest [[EntitledBastard expect]] to be [[EasilyForgiven instantly forgiven]] after learning her SecretIdentity.
** Alya acts particularly entitled; upon witnessing Ladybug being [[TheUnmasking unmasked]] while taking down Hawkmoth, she squeals with delight at the notion that she's "Ladybug's best friend", while blithely ignoring how she'd been ignoring her existence in favor of Lila. She also expects Marinette to ''compensate'' her for all the time she spent LockedOutOfTheLoop with exclusive interviews, letting her and her boyfriend Nino become permanent heroes, ''and'' letting them reveal their own secret identities on her Ladyblog for the extra press.
** Adrien also proves himself to be one; despite knowing that Lila's a ConArtist, he lets her keep scamming his friends because it might ''inconvenience'' him to call her out. He claims that Marinette [[BecauseYouCanCope can easily handle being shunned]], despite how he himself [[{{Hypocrite}} doesn't want to deal with the others getting angry]] by telling them something they don't want to hear.
** Chloé comes to recognize Adrien as one after her JerkassRealization; while he was fully aware that her entitled, bratty behavior and bullying weren't doing her any favors, he never made any ''real'' effort to call her out or teach her the error of her ways. He simply avoided acknowledging that she was his ChildhoodFriend unless he saw some way that he might benefit from it, such as when he attempts to recruit her to help convince Marinette to let the class [[AllTakeAndNoGive keep taking advantage of her]].
** Ironically, the class actually ''subverts'' this when it comes to [[spoiler:Adrien. They're willing to stick by and support him when the rest of Paris suspects him of aiding his terrorist father, tarnishing their own reputations by defending him. But once they learn how he let Lila manipulate them, they all turn on him for his BetrayalByInaction]].
* ''[[https://salthaven.tumblr.com/post/190458693897/ A Lady's Scout (and the Salt within her Soul)]]'' paints most of Marinette's classmates this way.

As rumors spread that she's some kind of 'hero scout', several of her former friends promptly abandon Lila and start vying for ''her'' favor, hoping that they can worm their way into Ladybug's good graces by buttering up Marinette.
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'':
** Adrien takes an interest in Marinette and her friends when he starts suspecting that they might be connected to Ladybug, zeroing in on her in particular. After [[spoiler:seeing Future!Ladybug checking on Marinette during the Timebreaker incident]], he decides he must have been wrong and immediately starts ignoring her, Aurore, and the rest. He then gets annoyed when Jean calls him out on this.
** Nino also shows shades of this. While he promises Marinette that [[RichBitch Chloé]] isn't involved in his movie-making project, he decides not to warn her when this changes, as he knows Marinette is trying to avoid her long-time bully and wouldn't want to come if she knew she was there. He [[BlamingTheVictim blames Marinette for this]], acting [[EntitledBastard entitled to her help]], and generally trampling over the boundaries of ''everyone'' involved with the project. The whole debacle leaves Marinette seriously questioning [[AllTakeAndNoGive the nature of their friendship]].
* In ''Fanfic/LongCon'', it's Lila who calls the whole class out on this when they finally confront her, pointing out that they refused to heed any of Marinette's warnings, then let her (seemingly) get roped into Lila's deception and let her continue to be strung along even as they each gradually figured out the truth for themselves:
-->'''Lila:''' My point is, I told you all what you wanted to hear. You thought I was your ticket to stardom, and you thought Marinette would get in the way of that. So you pushed her away. The minute she became an inconvenience to you, you tossed her out like yesterday's garbage.\\
'''Alya:''' That's not true!\\
'''Lila:''' Isn't it? Tell me, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion why are you all just now confronting me]]? I saw how frustrated you all were, carrying my things and doing favors for me. But none of you said anything. Adrien, you knew for ''months'' that I was a fake, and you didn't say anything. So, again I ask, why ''now''? I'll tell you why. Because all that time you were waiting for Marinette, your 'everyday Ladybug', to fix your mess for you. Just like you expected her to bring you pastries, or make clothes for you, or babysit, or host some stupid sports festival, or ''take the high road''.\\
''(Adrien goes white upon hearing this, while she chuckles)''\\
'''Lila:''' Oh yes, I know all about that. Marinette told me how ''lucky'' she was that she listened to you, that she would have missed out on such ''a good friend'' otherwise. Admit it, Adrien. You didn't care about being 'the bigger person', or whatever bull you told her. You just didn't want to deal with the drama. You didn't say anything because you were afraid ''you'' would get caught in the crossfire. When Alya confronted me that day in class, she was only concerned about how ''she'' was affected, about her blog's reputation. I mean honestly, it's not ''my'' fault you guys are too stupid to look things up. But then you realized that Marinette couldn't help you this time, so you finally got off your butts and decided to deal with the problem. Not that it matters.
* ''Fanfic/OfPatienceAndPettiness'': While Lila is quickly exposed here, Alya, Adrien, and the majority of Marinette's classmates [[NeverMyFault refuse to admit their mistakes]], [[TheScapegoat pinning all the blame on Lila]] and expecting to be EasilyForgiven for how they turned on Marinette.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Recommencer|MiraculousLadybug}}'', Marinette transfers out of Collége Francoise Dupont after seeing how swiftly her classmates abandoned her in favor of Lila.
* ''Fanfic/{{The Wolves in the Woods|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** In this particular work, Lila didn't actually ''intend'' to turn Marinette's classmates against her so completely, having expected that all their years of growing up alongside Marinette and everything she'd done for them would amount to more. Alas, the majority are all too willing to ditch their 'Everyday Ladybug' and replace her with a better model: Lila herself, as she realizes that they expect her to step up and [[AllTakeAndNoGive do whatever they want for free]], just like [[HourglassPlot Marinette before her]]. And given how they're openly ''bragging'' about being self-proclaimed {{Bully Hunter}}s who drove Marinette away, she's naturally terrified at the potential consequences of them learning about how she lied.
** Adrien claims that he just wants everyone to get along, but refuses to intervene even as he watches almost all of his friends turn upon Marinette. He only speaks up once ''he's'' personally inconvenienced, and [[BlamingTheVictim blames Marinette]] for transferring out of the toxic, hostile environment their classroom had become.
** Alya turns out to be the worst of the lot. While she insists that she was motivated by fear that Marinette's recent successes as a fashion designer would [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism go to her head]], she was actually DrivenByEnvy and chose to "[[TallPoppySyndrome cut her down to size]]" by supporting Lila's campaign against her and [[ToxicFriendInfluence encouraging the whole class]] to turn on her. When Marinette transfers away, she's ''furious'' and hellbent upon [[EntitledToHaveYou getting her back]], all while insisting that [[NeverMyFault nobody should blame her]] for driving Marinette away in the first place. When Nino eventually [[InternalReveal learns about all of this]], he's left wondering if [[WasItAllALie she ever cared about him or anyone else at all]].
[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
* ''Fanfic/BuildYourselfUpDontLetThemBreakYouDown'': The students and staff of Aldera Middle School attempt to [[InvertedTrope invert this]]. After spending years bullying Izuku or turning a blind eye to said bullying, they attempt to kiss up to him once Hawks publicly defends him, hoping to ride his coattails or prevent him from exposing the way they treated him before.
* In the ''Fanfic/DecrescenteSeries'', [[spoiler:Izuku himself]] abandons Katsuki after he punches one of their classmates.
* ''Fanfic/{{Dekugate}}'': The titular online community is extremely toxic, filled with {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s who hate Izuku for ''[[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence existing]]'' and spinning insane theories about how he's not ''really'' All Might's son. When one of their number complains about how "Deku" ruined her chance to spend a few hours not just [[LoonyFan stalking All Might]], but playing with him while disguised as a dog, the massive backlash she receives from members who [[EveryoneHasStandards don't agree with her methods]] makes her former friends scramble to delete any evidence that they'd ever supported her.
* ''Fanfic/FailureToExplode'': Once Katsuki [[PointOfDivergence fails to get into U.A.]], he promptly loses his BigJerkOnCampus status: none of his former lackeys are willing to follow him around anymore, and the teachers are no longer willing to turn a blind eye towards his {{Barbaric Bully}}ing.
* ''Fanfic/InASkyOfAMillionStars'': All of Bakugou Katsuki's lackeys prove to be this when he briefly returns to Aldera Junior High after Izuku's suicide attempt. Despite him clearly not being alright and still trying to cope with the situation, they avoid him and instead join in on the growing rumor mill. Obviously, after Katsuki hits his RageBreakingPoint and blows up the cafeteria, it's not hard for him to skip out on school altogether and enroll in Aldera's CorrespondenceCourse a few months later. The situation ultimately feeds into Katsuki's GuiltComplex, as it proves an AwfulTruth: despite Katsuki treating him like shit, Izuku really was his OnlyFriend.
* ''Fanfic/KeepYourFriendsClose'' revolves around an exercise where students are divided into "hero" and "villain" teams, with the twist that [[spoiler:everyone on the villain team aside from Hatsune and Midoriya]] is a DoubleAgent. This takes a serious toll on Izuku's ability to ''trust'' anyone, as he comes to see them all as willing to compromise their ideals and betray him... for what? To do well on an ''exam''...? As far as he's concerned, they failed the SecretTestOfCharacter.
* Goes both ways in ''Fanfic/QuirkSequencer''. Once Izuku awakens the titular Quirk, many of his former bullies start cozying up to him. Izuku, for his part, takes advantage of this to get his hands on their DNA in order to make his ability stronger.
* ''Fanfic/WaitingIsWorthIt'': Katsuki calls out his elementary school class for collectively being this. The class isolated and bullied Katsuki when rumors spread of him attacking a girl. Then the class turned their backs on the girl when it came out that she lied about the attack.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/YourMoveInstigatorDrawYourWeaponAndHoldYourTongue'': The Allied Mothers Force was founded in the name of protecting their children. Yet when Haruno Mebuki's four-year-old daughter is being forcibly enrolled in a special class at the Academy that will prepare her to become a {{Child Soldier|s}} at the tender age of ''five'', the rest of the members refuse to help her fight back, kicking her out of the group. Note that most of the members come from Konoha's more powerful clans, giving them prestige that Mebuki lacks... and most of their children are protected by virtue of being clan heirs. But they're unwilling to use that clout to help her out.
[[AC:''Franchise/OnePiece'']]
* In ''Fanfic/TrappedInEternity'', Garp believes that the Spade Pirates abandoned Ace after he was captured and subjected to ColdBloodedTorture by another crew, as they thought he was "weak" for being caught in the first place. In reality, the incident Ace described happened in [[GroundhogPeggySue one of Ace's past loops]], ending with ''his death'' -- he only told Garp about it in order to explain why his personality had changed.
[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* At the beginning of ''Fanfic/PokemonStrangledRed'', Red's mom gushes to Steven about how her son looks up to him, but she won't talk to him at all after his Charizard dies, and he gives everything up out of grief.
[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/{{Raise}}'': While Pyrrha doesn't come from a FriendlessBackground, all of her friends either abandoned her during her gradual rise to fame because they weren't getting all the benefits they wanted to milk out of their relationship, or turned into mooching parasites she was forced to cut off herself. She finds her friendship with Jaune to be an immense relief due to their CommonalityConnection: both of them have learned the hard way that CelebrityIsOverrated.
* ''Fanfic/ServiceWithASmile'': While Russell gets along well with Velvet, he stands by and watches whenever she [[FantasticRacism gets bullied for being a Faunus]]. Eventually, [[spoiler:he starts growing out of this]].
[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'']]
* Picachuyou's ''Fanfic/UndertaleFanNovelization'' gives Frisk several of these. During the prologue, [[AdaptationalGenderIdentity her]] friends agree to meet up with her and explore Mt. Ebott together, but nobody comes.

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', Tenko accuses Angie of this during the second trial, as Angie is the first person to point out that Himiko is suspicious because the [[spoiler:Ryoma's body was discovered during her magic show]], while failing to acknowledge that said show was ''her'' idea. Angie retorts that [[JerkassHasAPoint they have to question Himiko or they might end up getting killed]], but Tenko's criticism still isn't exactly wrong - Angie is ''very'' quick to turn on the Blackened after Shuichi figures out who did it, asking if they were just pretending to be friends to gain everyone's trust, which is ironically something Angie does in the third chapter when she decides to set up a "Student Council" that answers to Atua, which conveniently means that she is in charge.
* The protagonist of ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' was previously a fair weather boyfriend to Rachel when they previously dated. He bonded with her over their shared love of skiing, but broke up with her when she was upset about her family troubles. Somewhat deconstructed, with the protagonist exploring the reasons for his behavior and working to be a better person. And Rachel notices.

Removing the entry for Sera from Dragon Age: Inquisition. It does not fit this trope. While it is true that her friendship is hard to gain and easy to lose, that is only ever because of differences of opinion. If she abandons you, it is because you have made choices that lead her to conclude that you can no longer be friends. But even if she doesn't particularly like you, she will still stick with you no matter how dire the circumstances become (which at one point includes subjecting her to her literal worst nightmare).

* Sera from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' is be by far ''the'' hardest companion to maintain positive approval with, due to her HairTriggerTemper, her FantasticRacism towards mages and the Dalish, and having ''very'' few opportunities to raise her approval outside her romance.
** Said romantic approval is also much harder to raise and much easier to lose for an Elven Inquisitor due to Sera's [[InternalizedCategorism many issues]] with [[BoomerangBigot elven culture and Dalish elves]]. Many of the same flirts that earn high approval for other Inquisitors earn small approval for an Elf, and making ''any'' elf-positive statements and actions upsets her far more than doing so as a non-elf. [[spoiler:This culminates after the Temple of Mythal, where Sera will break up with an Elven Inquisitor unless they say they agree with her that the elven religion/culture is fake/worthless, but she'll agree to disagree with every other Inquisitor.]]

* Obsidian and Strika from ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' say that they're loyal to Cybertron and it's ideals above any one person. In practice, this means they devoutly serve Cybertron's current ruler, [[MyMasterRightOrWrong no matter who they are]], only to ditch them the second things go south. When Megatron is seemingly defeated, they don't even last a day before trying to join the Maximals instead of trying to hold his empire together. Thrust calls them out on this, asking if they can really be loyal to anybody if they're loyal to ''everybody''. [[spoiler:His words strike a nerve and the two ultimately decide that he's right, [[VillainousValour standing with Megatron in the face of defeat]].]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'', celebrity guest, Jerry Reed, [[WhatTheHellHero accuses Shaggy and Scooby]] of this when they refuse to help him retrieve his guitar. Daphne and Velma join in as well.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'', Dijonay was frequently this towards Penny, though she did [[WhatTheHellHero get called out on it]] at least once in the series' run, with Penny's takeaway at the end of one episode being that she can always trust Dijonay to be this trope.
** For that matter, the rest of Penny's friends constantly ditch her when the going gets tough as well, just not as much as Dijonay. This is acknowledged in series, when Penny gets a new friend group in one episode and her grandmother remarks that these new people are "faker than [her] fake friends."
* An somewhat odd example can be seen in the ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' episode, "Total Rickall." The Smith house has been invaded by alien parasites that tamper with everyone's memories, making Rick and his family believe that they're old friends of theirs. They multiply exponentially, overwhelming the Smiths, and even having them turn on each other. However, Morty eventually comes to the realization that their fake friends are only capable of creating good memories, while their real ones were there for the good and bad.
