i will be doing a thread on a combination on Klaus Mikaelson's best scenes & quotes, so turn on post notifications to catch it all!

starting the thread with Klaus' "pick a coin" scene: Klaus v. Marcel's followers.

"I am Klaus Mikaelson, I don't need anyone, nor will I be warned by lesser men. I am the thing lesser men fear."

"I suppose we are all satellites, orbiting those we love." Klaus eats the heart of a club bouncer.

Klaus kills Tyler's pack for their betrayal as "O, Holy Night" plays in the background.

"Gia, be a sweeatheart and take off your daylight ring." Klaus punishes Elijah by making him watch Gia burn.

"... What a thing, you know, to have to work that hard every day just to stay alive, to be constantly on the verge of death, and how satisfying every day must be that it survived…’ And that was the only time I thought about being human.”

Klaus kills the men who seek vengeance in chains, after being malnourished for weeks.

"Oh, bloody hell." Klaus takes a selfie with his family. Always and forever.

"Each morning you will wake, knowing your wretched existence continues only by will." Klaus spares Tyler's life not out of mercy, but as punishment.

"You stayed my hand. You quelled my rage. You inspired goodness in me. And unlike all of the souls I've encountered and forgotten in the long march of time, I will carry you with me." Klaus confesses his love to Camille.

"You dare enter my home?" Klaus rips off Aunt Dahlia/Josephine's head.

"Loneliness, Stefan. That's why you and I memorialize our dead. There's the briefest of moments when we kill where we literally hold their life in our hands, then we rip it away. And we're left with nothing ... In the end we are left infinitely and utterly alone."

"Who has the power now?" Klaus asserts his authority and poisons Thierry infront of Marcel.

"I will die suffering but a taste of the pain I have inflicted upon you. The scales remain in my favor." Klaus mocks Marcel's angry court of his victims.

"When your sweet recollections have been rendered obsolete, you will associate my name with fear." Klaus vows to make Aurora pay for what she did to Camille.

"He is your first love, I intend to be your last. However long it takes." Klaus sets Tyler free to make Caroline happy, delivering vibes

"Despite the gift of immortality, you have always known who you truly are. You. Are. Nothing." Klaus kills Lucien.

"... But i’ll let you in on a little secret. There’s a whole world out there waiting for you. Great cities, and art, and music … genuine beauty. And you can have all of it." Klaus heals Caroline.

"I make no excuses for past sins, but the one moment you two could have chosen to stand by me, to believe in me .." Klaus cries over Rebekah and Elijah's betrayal.

BONUS: Klaus and Hayley realize they have exposed Hope to dysfunction.

Klaus learning humanity through Hope

BONUS: Hayley's death. (this scene is more about how Elijah could not remember who she is. deep how she glanced at Hope & Klaus before she died).

last scene, Klaus & Elijah's death. "what is there's nothing after this? no peace? just darkness." @JosephMorgan perfected the craft at giving a character depth and nuance, making Klaus captivating, horrifying, and all the meshes of good and bad, like a human would be.

naturally i can't post every epic scene or quote, so feel free to quote this tweet with your favorite Klaus moments! hope you enjoyed!
