Caroline has a moment of jealous towards several women. Elena and Rebekah are the main examples. If you ever wondered why Caroline never found Bonnie someone to be jealous of is because the series never wants you to think Bonnie desirability is on the level of Elena, Caroline and the other white women of the tvd franchise
Bonnie is never once told she’s beautiful by anybody but Nora. We’re never given a scene where someone helps her get ready tells her how hot she is just because and that’s really what those evil bitches thinks of black women lol.

daughtersburden continued from 👑
"There's nothin’ wrong with it, per se. I just --" With no real idea how to finish that particular thought, Scarlett simply allowed it to die on the tip of her tongue. Truth be told, she wasn't all that used to having any free time herself. On the rare occasions she actually did, most of it was spent either laying out by the pool, riding horses around the ranch, or indulging in some major retail therapy.
"Wait a minute." Upon fully processing Kathleen's response, a feigned expression of confusion clouded the brunette's face within seconds. "Just because I'm a Ewing doesn't mean I'm not a normal person livin' my life just like everyone else. ...does it?"
It was all the heiress could do to keep a straight face as the defense came out of her mouth. She knew without a doubt that she was better than the majority of those around her and paid no attention when people attempted to label her conceited, entitled, or any other chosen variations of the word.
“Eh, normal’s overrated anyway.” As if Scarlett even knew what the word meant, given her lifestyle. She’d been born into the most wealthy and powerful family in Texas, and to say that the Ewings had their fair share of drama and dysfuntion would be a vast understatement. Their money and influence had always spoken loudly, but neither could solve every problem, as she’d unfortunately been forced to learn the hard way.
That was a whole other conversation for another day, though.

country bumpkin merlin not knowing anything about city life and accidentally courting arthur without knowing
merlin, watching gwen give lancelot her favor: why do you do that
gwen, heart eyes at lance and not paying that much attention to the conversation: so he knows i’m rooting for him
merlin, with an Idea: ah.
gwaine, lover of chaos, pisser offer of nobles and royals alike, ultimate wingman: merlin…you have such lonely lips. shall i introduce them to mine?
merlin, unaware of the game gwaine is playing: so you can steal my breath away? i think not, scoundrel
arthur, crushing his goblet in his hand:
merlin: arthur’s been in a bad mood recently :( i should cheer him up
merlin, remembering when arthur was put out when merlin brought morgana flowers and not him: i know just the thing
merlin, bringing a bouquet of carnations, roses, and tulips and setting them on arthur’s table while he’s eating breakfast: good morning, sire
arthur, trained on flower language in hopes that one day when he was to take a queen he could woo her easily, trying not to audibly choke on his sausage as he reads merlin’s declaration of love sitting in front of him:
arthur, who recently found out about merlin’s magic and was trying to find a way to bring it up, catching him in the act and watching merlin panic to explain himself:
merlin, Freaking: and i swear to you arthur, i have only ever used it for you. my magic is yours. my life is yours. i am yours. i would never do anything to harm you. i have protected you for years and will continue to do so at your side if you’ll have me
arthur, already believing them to be courting, desperately trying to figure out if that was a proposal for marriage or not but tired of being confused and deciding fuck it: here.
merlin, taking it: i…uh…huh?
arthur, watching merlin with hawk eyes and trying to figure out what he’s thinking and feeling: it’s my mothers sigil
merlin, confused as FUCK but is focusing on the fact that arthur is handing him something of his mother rather than a death sentence: my…my lord?
arthur, realizing how scared merlin’s must be about him finding out about his magic and trying to comfort him while also proposing, killing two birds with one stone: i will always keep you at my side, merlin, so long as we both shall live. if you’ll allow me.
merlin, almost collapsing with relief and tearing up, smiling at arthur as if he had parted the storm clouds to allow sun to shine down on them in that moment: of course…of course, arthur. always and forever.
merlin, watching the castle staff rush this way and that: wow. this banquet must be incredibly important
sir leon the long suffering, day one ride or die, one of the original merthur shippers: banquet? merlin, this is for your wedding
merlin, overworked and exhausted: my WHAT? to WHO??
leon, regretting everything he’s ever done in his life that led him to this moment: to…arthur?
merlin, over joyed but also absolutely befuddled: i’m getting married to ARTHUR?????
leon: you two have been courting for the past year or so, have you not?
merlin: i’ve been COURTING ARTHUR?????? FOR A YEAR?????????
