Well, this sure is cute…

Folks on TikTok have been posting videos using the “Not Mr. Darcy, But” meme to show viewers the small things in life that go a long way.

The viral trend is a reference to Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen’s iconic novel, Pride and Prejudice.

To get things kicked off, a woman posted a video of her dog eating raspberries from a bush.

The TikTokker wrote, “It’s not Mr. Darcy walking through a field, but my dog eating raspberries.”

Another TikTokker told viewers, “Not Mr. Darcy, but my husband walking through Costco to bring me my $1.50 hot dog.”

What a guy!
