I’m not very good at following lists, and I got stressful recently so I want to draw something nice first, something happy. Death and kittens from Discworld, for example.

Can Death (from Discworld) kill Macbeth?

Yes, Death from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series could kill Macbeth!

In regards to the Gender Clause, it gets a bit complicated, as Death seems to generally be alright with masculine terms and he/him pronouns, though Death's gender identity is wildly different across different translations. This is mainly due to the fact that these languages will have inherit genders tied to different concepts, and in many of these, death is often referred to with feminine pronouns, and so there's a bit of confusion there. (Apparently, the Czech translation deals with this by making his name a non-existent masculine equivalent to their feminine word for death.) For now, we'll be leaving Death off of the Gender Clause, but that is not to say that there's no ground for discussion on that front, of course.

As for the Unconventional Birth Clause and Birth Parent Clause, Discworld's Death is very much a primordial entity- perhaps more accurately, a primordial concept- and thus was never exactly born, and certainly not of a woman. The character of Death has always been and always will be, similar to the concept of death itself. So, Death applies for both UBC and BPC!

As for whether or not Death counts as a Unique Exception, I'm leaning a bit more strongly towards no. There is a case to be made, of course, that Macbeth dying in any way would be Death killing him, but in the Discworld books, Death as a character seems to be very heavily discouraged from meddling in mortal affairs and killing anyone directly. Instead, he acts more as someone who comes to take you away after you have already died. Now, Discworld's Death does seem to be a transdimensional entity, and this whole thing of being "discouraged from directly meddling in mortal affairs" may very well be a rule he must only abide by within Discworld, and he would be free to kill as he pleased in a different universe (say, one with Macbeth in it). But either way, we've already confirmed Death's ability to kill Macbeth through UBC and BPC, and considering that, these explanations feel like a bit too much of a stretch for me, so I won't be categorizing Death as a Unique Exception.

Thank you for your submission! (And big thanks to my mom for helping me out with this one!)

Death and cats. There's always time to stop and pet the cats

For the Discworld Readalong, month 1 and Mort. I want to try and paint something for each book

We don't talk enough about how heartbreaking the delivery man Lesley's death is in good omens. That whole bit of the book is just so chilling and beautiful.

A collection of reapers

1. Death of the endless but the Netflix version  2. Discworld death + the death of rats 3. Death from The Book Thief - the first time I read this book was a translation, and since death is a feminine noun in Portuguese they made death a she. This changes nothing about the story, but I’ve reread it in English since and still keep picturing death as a she  4. Kravitz adventure zone 

They’re the faces of the stranger/But we love to try them on

My mom has been listening to Hogfather for the first time, and she brought up an interesting idea that I kind of already knew about the book but didn’t really think about until now.

Hogfather is about Death experiencing the feeling of being wanted.

All the Death books are about Death feeling an emotion so hard that he bends reality. Mort is about Death feeling ennui, Soul Music is about Death feeling depressed, Reaper Man is about Death feeling. Either death anxiety or love, I’ll accept either answer.

And I never really thought about it until now, but this book is Death really experiencing his first taste of being wanted. He explicitly says that THEY DON'T NORMALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ME… EXCEPT IN SPECIAL AND RATHER UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES.

He likes it. He loves it. He wants to live in this space so much. In an earlier Discworld book, this would be the point where reality shatters as he dives head first into the emotion and feels it as hard as he can.

But by this point in the series, he knows he can’t.

(don't fear) the reaper

Santa Poll- Finale

Death propaganda

Klaus propaganda

To cleanse this page I have more Death fanart because I like him, he's fun

The space under the scythe felt empty so the 5 second Death sketch with the shortest book synopsis was a must

Also kitty :D

Nothing makes me cackle and kick my feet faster than when some entity that is supposed to be ominous and ooooh so scary is just. Doing its job. And complaining about it to whoever will listen. Ah, yes, I'm but a fledgling demon, I need this promotion, or I'll get sacked otherwise, help a friendly demon out! Death is my all-time favourite character in the discworld. He is so clueless but well-meaning! Also, the demons from good omens come on, that whole ass office vibe they have going on. Sure, there is doom and death all around, but what's worse than paperwork? Nothing beats that no torture they can come up with. But even Crowley and his way of messing with humans is so... endearing? In a really messed up way? Like he will just push people to do evil deeds, or sometimes is just a straight-up nuisance. Michael from the good place also falls into this category, and I just !!!! I love this archetype! It never fails to just make me wanna jump up and down like they did the thing!!! They humanised that entirely not-human being by making them be just as confused and just as annoyed about the system as the rest of us are! Love it!

I love you Mort you mean everything to me. SUCH A COOL BOOK!! AND THE BOY HIMSELF!! LOVE YOUU

NOW ON NEBULA!

Beyond the gods of death and shepherds of lost souls lies the foggy outline of a different character. Sit down for a glass of milk, some curry, or a slice of pizza… Death’s been waiting to talk with us.
