I love that the bullets that JD and Veronica use are called Ich Lüge Bullets cause like Ich lüge actually means “I lie” in German and that sexy son of a bitch lied about so much

“Everyone loves a good villain. One who cackles at the sky and shakes their fist and brings some form of doom to something or someone. It is fun to have someone to root against and root for — especially if they have a fun, cosplay-worthy aesthetic. With all that goes into stanning our favorite villains of all time, there is something to be said about examining the superficiality of villainy.
Like many character types, villains have often been visually identifiable. They have some costume or way of moving or physical features that mark them as villains in the story. Villains look bad or evil. Villains just look like villains. This is where some of the problems start with who we assign villainy to in storytelling. A hero versus villain narrative is often an Us versus Them set up, with Us being on the side of the hero and Them being on the side of the villain.
I recognize that sympathetic villains have recently been on the rise. I, for one, have also argued there are more generous ways of interpreting villains from our literary past. Nevertheless, when we look at the big picture of villains, they are often the othered members of society who are wrong or bad or shunned.“

Peter takes the vial with a shaking hand and twists off the cap. The liquid trembles inside it, almost spilling over the lip. He holds it under his nose to smell it.
"How much should I drink?" he says, and I think I hear his teeth chattering.
"I dont think it makes a difference," I say.
"Okay. Well... here goes." He lifts the vial up to the light like he is toasting me.
When he touches it to his mouth, I say, "Be brave."
Then he swallows.
And I watch Peter dissapear.

Mr. Gabriel is standing in the center of the room, facing slightly away from us. The tables have been cleared away against the bookshelves, and a giant and disturbing shape has been drawn in chalk on the floor. Its unpleasant lines and angles form a kind of frame around the librarian, who seems to have sprouted large black bat-like wings. Also, long twisty black horns of some kind are now spiralling out of the top of his head. He is bending slightly forward, looking at the floor, muttering something incomprehensible in a low, guttural voice.
He's not dancing around, at least. So there's something.
After an eternity of standing there in the doorway, trying to take this in, I hear Ryan's voice speaking from what seems a great distance.
"You were right. I was able to tell right away."
Mr. Gabriel slowly turns, raising his head. The amount of blood spattered across his light-blue button-down shirt makes me gasp. Whose blood is that? Where did it come from? There is blood on the floor, too, I realise. A lot of it. There is so much that I think there cannot be very much left at all inside whomever it came out of.
"Oops," Mr. Gabriel says. "Thought I locked those." Then grins. It is not a comforting expression. Especially with those fangs.
"You're- " Ryan appears to be trying to think of something appropriate to say.
"John Gabriel, the new Librarian," Mr. Gabriel says brightly. "Pleased to meet you!"
"But you're- you're not- " Ryan stops, shallows, starts again. "You're not human," he says. He seems to feel it is very important to point this out. Perhaps in case Mr. Gabriel was not aware.
Mr. Gabriel's terrifying grin grows even larger, stretching impossibly across his face. He begins to laugh. Then he stops laughing and winks at us.
"Strangely, the job description did not specify that as a requirement."
- Evil Librarian, Michelle Knudsen
