A celebrity or public personality who is popular with the mass media and well-known in their niche. A media darling will receive frequent, positive attention from the media for every move she or he makes, yet still be loved by the general public. The term was first coined by The Washington Post in the 1970s.
Notable media darlings: Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Emma Stone, Beyoncé, Lauren Conrad, Kristen Bell, and Mila Kunis.
The nick name for a fan of a popular rock band called "THE DARKNESS".
Darklings are close followers of the band, not just those who think a song is great and then get bored and ignore them.
"So, you're a fan of The Darkness then?"
"Yeah, that'd make me a Darkling, rock on dude"
Someone you try to be there for at some point in life is not the same as your darling. When you leave them, and they leave you, they're only your darling if you think fondly when you think of them. You can like a person and have no fond thoughts of your time with them, bad experiences can happen, with people you really like, as can fun and partying. Trust is a different story than liking someone.
Ted was Neds darling since Ned was oblivious to what Ted had done with Neds life.
Tim was never really Jims darling since Jim was never really oblivious (or stupid).
An amazing friend who you don’t know well at first. She is pretty, but she doubts herself. She is very supportive and sweet. She is a great friend who is loyal. She is funny and includes you into activities. The only time she gets feisty is when she is fighting for friendship. She is smart and she cares about everyone.
