I never asked for power

Travis Fimmel was once a big VC fandom choice for playing Lestat, and this gifset reminded me why. Look at all that menace and delight all wrapped up together! And he looks great spattered with blood. Really brings out his eyes.

“You little bastard, ” he said coldly. “You didn’t kill eight wolves! ”
His face had an ugly disgusted look to it. But the remarkable thing was

this: Almost as soon as he spoke these words, he realized for some
reason that he had made a mistake. Maybe it was the look on my face.
Maybe it was my mother’s murmured outrage or my other brother not
speaking at all.
It was probably my face. – The Vampire Lestat

Also he gets an axe accessory in Prince Lestat, so there’s that, too! Would probably be about that size bc he can wear it inside his coat inconspicuously.
