@smoakinoken yeah, I know that.
however it wasn't a romantic parallel or even a parallel that was remotely good in terms of klaroline.
klaus traumatised, abused tyler and ruined his life, and left saying "he's just a small town boy and he'll never be enough"
8 years later, tyler is dead, caroline says "he was so much more than a small town boy..."
SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN ANYONE WHAT KLAUS DID TO TYLER. HE CAUSED HIM MORE GRIEF THAN ANYONE ELSE. AND AT HIS FUNERAL SHES HONOURING HIM AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP. SHE'S SAYING KLAUS WAS WRONG.
why is that so hard to understand. its fucking disgusting that kc fandom swooped in on a forwood moment, one that broke my heart as well and im a hardcore steroline shipper, and made it about their ship.
yk what else was intentional? and explicitly a parallel? 2x02. THAT was romantic. caroline remembering how stefan saved her life and helped her with vampirism, told her she would survive. not caroline repeating klaus's horrifying words about tyler (given what he did to him) and saying HE WAS WRONG.
