comment
In many salt fics, Adrien is shown as a spineless Extreme Doormat because of his "taking the high road" approach to Lila's lies; here, it's shown that Adrien thought that Lila lied to make herself look more interesting and her lies weren't harming anybody. When he sees that she's trying to manipulate Nino in order to get him to work as a DJ for her parties for free while setting him up for a big dsiappointment, Adrien was ready to intervene, though in the end he didn't need to. The story also reminds the readers that in "Chameleon", Adrien tried to convince Lila to stop lying, which resulting in her being Akumatized and going after him (meaning that from his point of view, he was protecting Marinette from the same thing happening to her) and that he isn't aware of Lila's threat to Marinette in the bathroom at the end of the episode.

Deconstruction Fic: Another one that deconstructs Salt Fics by reminding the readers that the characters don't have the whole picture due lacking the audience's privileged point of view, and building on that, giving the characters logical explainations for the way they act: In many salt fics, Adrien is shown as a spineless Extreme Doormat because of his "taking the high road" approach to Lila's lies; here, it's shown that Adrien thought that Lila lied to make herself look more interesting and her lies weren't harming anybody. When he sees that she's trying to manipulate Nino in order to get him to work as a DJ for her parties for free while setting him up for a big dsiappointment, Adrien was ready to intervene, though in the end he didn't need to. The story also reminds the readers that in "Chameleon", Adrien tried to convince Lila to stop lying, which resulting in her being Akumatized and going after him (meaning that from his point of view, he was protecting Marinette from the same thing happening to her) and that he isn't aware of Lila's threat to Marinette in the bathroom at the end of the episode.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

comment
Alya, the other biggest victim of the Salt Fics, is often portrayed as Lila's Beta Bitch who is willing to happily throw Marinette under the bus and treats every word of Lila as gospel, and refuses to admit the truth about Lila even when presented with undeniable evidence of her falsehoods; here, it's shown that Alya trusts Lila so much because she believes to be Ladybug's bestie, and Ladybug would never befriend a bad person. When Nino points out that Lila might be lying about being Ladybug's BFF, Alya counters it by saying that Lila knows about certain events of Heroes' Day that wouldn't be able to know if she wasn't close with Ladybug (of course, Lila knows of these events because she was allied with Hawk Moth and took part in them, but Alya can't be blamed for not thinking this). So it's not a case of "Alya throwing her alleged best friend under the bus for the sake of a new girl" but "Alya is placed between a rock and a hard place when she's forced to choose between her best friend and somebody very close to her idol".
