I have a tendency, when reading or writing fiction, to have a dark humor streak where it comes to villains getting what's coming to them. In one of the Neanderthal Parallax books by Robert J. Sawyer, one of the main female characters gets raped by a coworker. She doesn't know who it was, but somehow the Neanderthal scientist who's her friend found out. The law couldn't help in that situation, apparently, so he took matters into his own hands... by castrating the rapist and raping him. I literally fell off the bed, I was laughing so hard.
I have a Lyria Spellspinner story wherein the life of her daughter is threatened, and Lyria just completly "loses her shit" as the saying goes, and temporarily goes into such a violent rage that over 500 men die as a result, and four men are left wishing they could die. That, and a few other bits here and there have set up a pattern in that character of having anger issues. She loses her temper, does something horrible, and feels intensely remorseful later.
