ooh unpopular opinion about Tyler. Nice.

Tyler did more for Caroline’s development or should I said personality change than he ever gets credit for. Ironically, I’ve seen take that it’s Caroline who needed to help Tyler and uplift him in the plot. One of them came from a legacy and is the first successful hybrid. The other was a turned vampire who just existed. I say this as a huge forwood stan. Throwing Care in the mix of Tyler’s first changes showed her compassion.

This is a fault of how tvd showed friendships but Tyler only had one friend the entire time and that was Matt. I think about Tyler’s funeral. Everything about it seems fake. Tyler was sacrificing for them and yet none of these people gave even half of that for him. One of the biggest examples in this is when Chris the hybrid was killed and Tyler had to explain that he mattered to him. It was a constant misunderstanding or never for that matter either Tyler continuing to lessen him just for the sake of doing so.

Tyler has the best werewolf transition across all three shows. I’m not arguing it. Michael Trevino killed that scene and every single of them. The other transitions are just…eh. With that being said Tyler’s one of the sassiest characters in the show. He always has a side comment about anybody.

We know Richard abused him. While Carol never physically harmed him her condoning this perfect image for family since Richard was the major was just as bad. I think that’s why Tyler connected so well with Hayley. They don’t show her adoptive parents but do mention she was on a boat when she triggered the curse and was outcasted. Her parents kicking her out sounds like they valued the image more than her so. Think about how Carol saw Vicki when Tyler did try to bring her around.

Random dynamics I would’ve loved to see is: Tyler and Jackson. Tyler and Jackson both had some issues with leadership however I think they could’ve done so well together. Ya know, with the acknowledgement that Hayley got all those wolves killed.

Putting morals on Tyler for trying to kill/kidnap Hayley/Hope while accepting everything Klaus did to him (because he’s supposed to be evil) is bullshit.

You have a beautiful wife,” Caroline said, watching the tan woman slowly disappear out of sight. “She seems perfect for you. Why does she look so similar?”

“Kim was a part of my former pack with Klaus.” Tyler replied quickly, not desiring to dwell on history. “She took the cure. Then we moved. Tennessee's been great to us. We have this large house with a huge yard for the kids. Kim’s a veterinarian and I'm an athletic trainer.”

“You seem to have gotten everything you ever wanted,” Caroline replies with a nod. “I’m glad you’re happy, Tyler. You seem a lot happier than I’ve ever seen you. That’s good.”

“You seem happier too, Care. Looks good on you.” Tyler says gently, shoving his hands in his pockets. Caroline begins to speak again but Kim’s voice echos in his ears. “Hey, I really have to go.”
