One of the characters is held at gunpoint and responds by grabbing it and pulling the trigger. This attempt is unsuccessful. [First book [I think?]]
In the past, the main character attempted suicide. This attempt was unsuccessful. [Fourth book]

In the second book, one character grinds up living squirrels in a blender. And it's implied in the third book that the main character ate an entire chipmunk while in an incoherent state. The main character occasionally uses animals as projectile weapons.
A glorious moth-raccoon beast was hunted and harmed in the third book.

The main character's leg gets amputated due to an infection in the second book.
TLDR for the info ahead: Hands and fingers get cut off during all four volumes.
On several occasions, people are referenced to have cut their own hands off. In the third book, the main character tries to cut his own hand off. The main character has his pinkie finger cut off by an antagonist [I think during book 1, but I'm not certain]. In the fourth book, an antagonist has their trigger finger ripped off, and a cult systematically cuts off the hands of some of their members. An antagonist's hand gets cut off.

No outright slurs, but one of the characters was told in the past that he makes the world worse because he's bi. The narrative doesn't support this view, and the books are overall positive when LGBTQ+ stuff is mentioned.

There is a racist character in the 2nd book, he is awful to Rosa who is a brown, Latina woman and another gas station employee who I believe is also Latino and brown.
Also in the 3rd book, the main character and a black cop are cussed out for holding hands (not romantically), cause the racist thought they were an interracial couple
