Derek from The Good Place could kill Macbeth, I think. I don’t think he’s ever explicitly referred as a man and is canonically a genderless being (though I don’t recall him ever explicitly rebutting being called a man either so I’m not sure). He was not born naturally but summoned into existence. And his birth parent, Janet, routinely protests being called a girl or a woman. So I’m pretty sure he hits all three clauses.
Janet could also kill Macbeth on all three clauses and she’s not a man (nor a girl), was not naturally born, and was not created by anyone in particular and therefore has no birth parent to speak of let alone one who identifies as a woman.
Yes, both Derek Hostetler and Janet from The Good Place could kill Macbeth!

As stated above, Janet is Derek's creator, and also does not identify as a woman (nor a man), which applies Derek for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause, while applying Janet for the Gender Clause!
Janet also applies for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause herself, being presumably created by The Makers of Light, Darkness, And Everything In Between.
As for Derek and the Gender Clause, I'm not so sure. He doesn't seem to deny gendered terms like 'man' like how Janet does, and is referred to with he/him pronouns. The wiki lists him as agender, though I believe this is in reference to his canonical lack of genitalia, and as we all know, one's genitalia does not influence their gender identity. We'll leave that alone for now until some more decisive evidence crops up.
In short: Janet applies for all three Clauses, and Derek applies for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause.
Thank you for your submission!

Okay but Mr D being played by the guy that played Derek in The Good Place is just so
The D in Mr. D stands for Derek not Dionysus and in my heart I know this to be true

I think Derek's last form in The Good Place is ominous af and it worries me lol. What if he gets too powerful and detached from humanity like Jobu Tupaki or some shit, and he decides to rewire the entire system

Love the ask you sent me so much (I’ll answer tomorrow!) that I’m sending it right back to you: “Spicy asks: Three most controversial opniões, three least favorite popular ships, and your absolute favorite and least favorite character for SPN, HP, Grey’s, Friends and whatever your favorite show ever is”
Oh dear how will I ever cope with this?/k
SPN:
- Three most controversial opinions: I really love the Bunker [look, we can talk about how the aesthetics did get kinda ruined and overly sanitized and how much we all miss the motels and how it could come in as a deux ex machina at times but it gave them a home and a place dean felt safe anough to wear a robe and silly pajamas I can’t not love it also the sheer possibilities like lets put a full olympic swimming pool and gigantic greenhouse and all sorts of cursed objects and cool rooms and books with wild lote in there who knows why not]; I think Destiel is unrequited (I kinda ping-pong back and forth on this one and it’s not always my opinion but it’s my most consistent reading and it seems similar to JA’s: Cas was in love with Dean, Dean loved Cas and that’s a tragic little difference); I don’t much care for Jack (Idk how to elaborate on this without writing a whole thesis and a billion disclaimers and I do not have that kind of energy so lets leave it at that)
- Three least favorite popular ships: Sabriel (never caught wind of any sparks there tbh) Samifer (his torturer? SALS ofc but I personally cannot get into it and don’t ship it) I’d include Dean Alastair in this for the same reason but idk if it’s AS popular in general fandom) and Megstiel (I don’t deny they were a thing/on the way to being a thing/had chemistry, and I have read fics where they’re together, they just aren’t the focus of my shipping energy, I suppose?) (Destiel is not on this although again I’m one of the few people that doesn’t actively ship them I still like them and can enjoy lots of things about the ship, they’re far, faaar from least favorites lol)
Absolute favorite and least favorite character: Absolute fave is Dean (oh shocker). Least favorite os actually a though one bc while I hate some characters guts (John, most obvious villains) I tend to like them as characters? So I guess Lucifer? I don’t think he was that interesting as a villain in the later seasons especially (I mean, you can say that about a lot of characters bc I feel they got flattened a lot but he went from this terrifying force of primordial evil to a whiny teenage-esque brat with a chip on his shoulder? and then even as I type this I can’t help but like the ridiculousness of it all and the kinda profoundness we can find in all the shallow things and I’m sorry I have spn brainrot)
HP:
Three most controversial opinions: Putting Teddy Lupin in Gryffindor (this is literally so silly); Liking Percy Weasley (with caveats); not thinking Narcisa Malfoy is that redeemable.
Three least favorite popular ships: Drarry, Snily, Dramione (I could explain but tbh I think they explain themselves).
Absolute favorite and least favorite character: Favorite is Harry and least is Snape.
Grey’s:
Three most controversial opinions: (just three? lol) Disliking Derek and Merder, disliking George, thinking Maggie is absolutely delightful and one of my faves.
Three least favorite popular ships: Merder, Slexie (look I GET why they’re popular I just think it’s too much damn drama and they tire me) and Japril (yes I know they’re the three most popular most favorite ships SALS people it’s ok)
Absolute favorite and least favorite character: Meredith and George. Try and guess which is which lol (aside obvious villains and the like ofc).
I think I’m going to skip FRIENDS because I just don’t interact with the fandom that much to know what’s truly popular and unpopular <3
My favorite show: Huh, if we’re being honest and excluding the others I’d have to say it’s TGP however I don’t think I have any controversial takes on that? So I’ll go with Supergirl.
Three most controversial opinions: Kara had every right to hide her superhero identity (yes even from Lena and tbh specially from her) and did nothing wrong in regards to that; people are entirely too hard on Kara in a complete disproportionate way to some other characters; I LOVE love love Dansen and even prefer it to Sanvers.
Three least favorite popular ships: Supercorp and Kara x Winn (not as bad I just am neutral?) (I kinda blanked on other popular ships I dislike?)
Absolute favorite and least favorite character: Kara (although Nia is a close one) and Lena.

hi hello me again. Can I please ask TGP for the series ask game??
tgp my beloved
Give me a Series & I'll tell you...
❤ Favorite Guy: chidi 💖
❤ Favorite #Girl: don't make me choose between eleanor and tahani im not gonna do it 🥺🤧
❤ Favorite Pairing: sorry ik im supposed to mention only one but im gonna just mention all the ones i like. cheleanor, elhani, the ot3 (usually with eleanor as the hinge but tahani and chidi have their momence), janet and jason are all classics <33 post-canon mikeshawn esp as how iblankedonmyname writes them makes me unwell (positive). i liked chidi and simone together and i thought eleanor being into her was funny and cute. i read a fic (post-canon? but also not yet?) with janet and eleanor as the ship and it was really sweet and cute 🥺💖
on the topic of not necessarily romantic pairs, ofc i love michael and eleanor 💖 and honestly i think michael with each of the other three humans is very underrated. here's a fic i really like that explores each of them and here's another. tbh choose any two of the main six and write about them and i'll eat it up. if i had to choose just one, i really wish we got to see more chidi and jason. also hirael
❤ Least Favorite Character: umm derek?? he's pretty funny in s4 though
❤ who’s most like me: chidi. easiest one of these to answer so far. i've started using the phrase "i'm having a chidi moment" often recently
❤ most attractive: you're probably expecting a different answer but honestly?simone. she's sooo pretty and i like that she's a bubbly nerd. she's such a delight
❤ three more characters that I like: i love all of the main cast sm they're all so enjoyable <33 i already mentioned her but i think simone deserved more spotlight esp with a better conclusion to her character arc

Just remembered the dream I had last night where there was a columbo episode where he was investigating an art theft from Elizabeth 1st of England (played by Elle Fanning) and it was done by her older sister (Helena Bonham Carter) and his partner was dapper Derek from TGP. inchresting.
