Tyler Lockwood of The Vampire Diaries is known for his blunt, funny, and poignant remarks. Here are some of our favorite quotes from Mystic Falls’ resident werewolf.
When the Lockwood curse was getting him down
Before Tyler triggered his werewolf gene, he was just an angry kid who didn’t quite understand why he was the way he was. When he learned what he was capable of, it changed everything. The anger and violence inside of him was always scary and confusing to him, and he lived in fear of triggering the curse until the day that it finally happened.
When he got his transformation tips from Marvel
Mason Lockwood never did much for Tyler, but his transformation journals did help him prepare. Tyler took every precaution possible to ensure that he wouldn’t hurt his friends and the innocent people of Mystic Falls, but he never did figure out the clothing issue.
When he echoed everyone’s thoughts about the moonstone
This was basically the question that everyone was asking for most of The Vampire Diaries season 2. Everybody wanted the moonstone, but very few people actually knew why they wanted it.
When he gave us all the Forwood feels
Caroline and Tyler (aka Forwood) were one of the most iconic couples in The Vampire Diaries series. They were both there for each other at the beginning of their supernatural lives, and even though Klaus threw a lot of complications their way, they’ll go down as one of our favorite pairings.
When he won his freedom and owned it
When Klaus turned Tyler into a hybrid, he took a lot of his life away. Tyler finally gained his freedom by breaking the sire bond, and this quote was an extremely satisfying moment when we realized that Tyler’s will was his own again.
When he was the best at greetings
After everything Klaus did to keep Tyler and Caroline apart, it was an amazing moment for both of them when they had him locked in the Gilbert house in The Vampire Diaries season 4, episode 13. Of course, Klaus worked his way out of the situation, but not before Tyler had a little fun at his expense.
When he called Caroline out
Sure, Tyler thought that Caroline was secretly a werewolf, but he was correct about her lying. As the characters of The Vampire Diaries go through their various phases of having their humanity switch off, body swapping, and having their minds controlled, not knowing who people are is a recurring theme on The Vampire Diaries that Tyler’s been done with since season 2!
When he completely understood justice
Again, Klaus really screwed up Tyler’s life, so whenever he got a chance to throw it back in his face, it made for an amazing moment. This quote from The Vampire Diaries season 4, episode 3, was no exception.
When it was just that simple
Tyler always was known for getting straight to the point!
