a video from tiktok user Labeauteuniverselle. it is a death note deepfake parody with french politicians. transcript in french and english + explanations under the cut - formatting added by me

@dragonicmoon désoléééé ça a pris plus de temps que prévu ^^' et pour celleux qui verront cette vidéo... enjoy, j'imagine XD macron explosion !!!!! joyeuse journée des travailleur-euses !!! 🔥🔥🔥

transcription en français:

(Emmanuel Macron) Ce pays est complètement pourri de l'intérieur... peuplé de fainéants qui ne veulent pas travailler. Je suis désormais 49.3, le Dieu d'un nouveau monde libéré des acquis sociaux, parce que c'est mon projet !

(Jean-Luc Mélenchon) Ici JLM. Je sais qui tu es, Emmanuel. Ton massacre de la démocratie est terminé.

(François Hollande) JLM, je ne comprends pas ce que vous insinuez... Mon fils ne peut pas être 49.3, c'est un socialiste.

(Emmanuel Macron) On va encore avoir un peu de travail, Eryuk...

(Eric Zemmour) Ben voyons... règle 1939 du Death Note: si l'on écrit en arabe le nom d'une personne, le cahier l'expulse du pays en 40 secondes.

(Marine Le Pen) Emmanuel-kun je vais nous débarasser de ce gauchiste en sacrifiant mon débat du second tour.

(Emmanuel Macron) rire hystérique

english translation:

(Emmanuel Macron) this country is rotten from the inside... populated by lazy people who do not want to work. I am now 49.3, the god of a new world free from social rights, because it is my design !

(Jean-Luc Mélenchon) JLM here. I know who you are, Emmanuel. Your slaughter of democracy is over.

(François Hollande) JLM, I don't understand what you are insinuating... My son cannot be 49.3, he is a socialist.

(Emmanuel Macron) We still have a bit of work left to do, Eryuk...

(Eric Zemmour) Let's see... rule 1939 of the Death Note: if you write down someone's name in Arabic, the note will deport them from the country in 40 seconds.

(Marine Le Pen) Emmanuel-kun I will free us from this leftie by sacrificing my presidential debate before the second vote.

(Emmanuel Macron) unhinged laughter

explanations:

Emmanuel Macron: french president, you may have heard he's doing a pension reform. you possibly heard something about people burning trashcans. or festive gatherings of a musical nature, who knows what acts of violence we're doing next

Jean-Luc Mélenchon: head of the leftist party "France Insoumise" (imo best translated as Indomitable France, yes like in Astérix). he is... an entire character. by his own design. FI is the biggest leftist party we have and he's apparently stepping back a little (🤞)

Eric Zemmour: far right shit. has been a media personality for more than 20 years despite being horrid and recently caused a surge in extremism by creating his own far right party, that got 7% in the 2022 presidential elections despite only existing for a year

Marine Le Pen: head of "Rassemblement National", the new name of the party "Front National" headed by her nazi father. wish i were joking. she famously failed her debates before the second turn of the 2017 AND 2022 elections, leading to a landslide win for Macron. her rise in voters is due both to a shift to the right that Macron worsened and to her "undemonisation" media campaign

François Hollande: former head of the Socialist Party, former president who brought Macron into politics, immense failure, now widely forgotten except when we mock him or angrily remember he is horrible

gauchiste is an "insult" i guess ?? used by right wingers, who have their own little nickname (droitard). you may have seen it in its best iteration on french news: islamo-gauchiste, who are real and roaming the countryside i assume

49.3 is an amendement of the constitution which allows the government to pass a law without the assent of the parliament, or even in spite of its dissent. many have criticised its use and very existence, and Macron recently use it to pass the pension reform without a vote

I can finally post this! Happy birthday, @orynthiatheradiant 🎉🥰🎉

☀️, 🏡 and ❤️ for Eryuk (and whoever else!)

U fool… 

☀️- what makes your OC genuinely happy? A person, an item, their hobby? Where is the place they’re happiest, or most at home? What is the happiest they’ve ever been?

Eryuk’s always been at his happiest when he’s not fighting. He loves anything social - drinking, feasting, festivities and contests. It doesn’t matter if he’s surrounded by strangers; he can move fluidly through a crowd and will offer his company to anyone who needs it. Naturally, the best places to do this are cities and towns, but he’s made many happy memories out on the wild road.

Draenor was the place he was happiest, surrounded by family, by his people and their culture. His best memories were spent in Shadowmoon Valley and Talador, minding the herds on his family’s homelands, and the years where he trained to become a Vindicator. Azeroth doesn’t quite feel like home yet, but it’s fast becoming the world he loves most again. His favourite places are Night Elf lands such as Teldrassil and Ashenvale, along with much of Pandaria and even Northrend, despite its bitter cold.

But in the end, Eryuk cherishes the little things, no matter where they happen. The crackle of a blazing hearth, looking down on the world from the back of a soaring drake, good music being played proudly, the smell of sizzling meat, Haendra’s smile, drunken duelling, dousing himself in a river under a blazing sun, the laughter of hundreds of people at a celebratory feast, teasing his sister Añaris (and being teased in return), the briny smell of the ocean from the deck of a ship as he sails towards some new adventure. It’s all good.

🏡 - Describe your OC’s ideal house! Give us a tour around! What’s their garden like? Their bedroom? Kitchen? Where is it and how many people live there?

If let loose, Eryuk would design himself something akin to a mead hall. The design would be a strange hybrid of Vry’kul and Draenic styles with an emphasis on pragmatism and spaciousness, built with stone for the foundations but mostly made of wood. It couldn’t have been made with the exact same materials as original Draenei buildings. It would be almost metaphorical, embodying older Eredar styles but also representing his acceptance of Azeroth and its role as his new home.

He’d want a long, rectangular central room with enough tables and space to fit dozens of guests (whether or not they’d actually visit is another matter entirely), with at least two fire pits and a high, raised ceiling with rafters and pillars. Good acoustics are a priority. It would be sparingly decorated, mostly with furs and fabrics ready for use, but filled with imagery reminiscent of Draenor’s fauna. Carved into the woodworks would be botani, arakkoa, genesaurs, magnarons, and gronns. Splayed alongside them would be clefthooves, talbuks, elekks, riverbeasts and wolves. The Naaru, too, would be depicted here and there, along with sacred symbolisms of the Light. Each wall and pillar would convey a story, a glimpse into the world Eryuk had loved and left behind.

He’d have an arsenal both for personal use and for guests when their equipment is not needed. The pantry and cellars would always be full. There would be one or two guest rooms as well, always well maintained in case of unexpected visitors. The kitchen is generously-sized, almost designed to be used by multiple people at once, with herbs and plants hanging from the rafters and shelves covering all the walls.

As he had left Draenor with almost nothing, his possessions are scant. In his bedroom, he’d have several storage chests and shelves, mostly filled with miscellaneous items gathered across Azeroth. Memories are scattered about the place - a collection of Draenic crystals that belonged to his family, the horns of a talbuk from his father’s estate, a series of old tomes that he hasn’t read in decades, the collars and harnesses of old pets, and a rumpled banner covered in repairs, patterned with the original icon of Argus, hanging above his bed. There are no paintings, no sketches, nothing left to show what his family looked like, except for a small portrait of Añaris hanging on a wall, its wiry, ramshackle frame encrusted with tiny precious stones. The room would be lit by jewels embedded into the wall, but he still uses candles from time to time, and a Draenic-style crystal fireplace lies opposite his bed. A mannequin for his armour stands in a corner, with tabards collected over the years hanging behind it like a tapestry. And of course there’s a snuggly little nest of cushions and blankets made for his owlkitten, not that she ever uses it. She prefers his Draenei-sized bed.

The “garden” would be the natural grounds surrounding the house. He’d have a training area for sparring and workouts, and a stable for his larger animals, crafted with as much love and attention to detail as his own house.

Eryuk’s hall would be a place of refuge as well as celebration, situated either in Tiragarde Sound, Stormsong Valley, or somewhere equally as idyllic that is reasonably close to civilisation. Everyone would be welcome, everyone would be safe. The only thing that would improve the place any more is if all of his friends shared it with him. It’d be a bit big for one person.

❤️ - What would your OC’s ideal lover be like? Appearance, personality, voice? Would their family approve or would it be civil war?

Eryuk seeks someone attentive, kind, compassionate, and generous. He’d like her to be skilled and passionate, maybe even artistic, as long as she had focus and drive. He doesn’t have patience for pettiness or materialism. He doesn’t respect unkindness or dogmatism. A cynic would leave him bored and irritated. And she doesn’t need to be loud and brash to prove she’s brave and outspoken. But Eryuk would also love to be tied to someone as adventurous as him, who will accept that he can’t be idle and stand by when disaster happens. Eryuk is so unsettled in his lifestyle, always travelling, always following the shadow of war, that he can barely comprehend having a lasting romance with anybody. His relationships have not always been meaningful; additionally, his long life has meant that they’ve barely left an impression on him. Short, noncommittal encounters are what he prefers for the time being.

There is one friend of his that he has a true and selfless love for, and Eryuk has long grappled with whether or not they are still purely platonic. But recent wars have been keeping them apart, much to his unhappiness. And with no official declarations coming from either party, no physicality between them, and the constant presence of world-ending threats, Eryuk is hesitant to dare hope for something deeper.

Admittedly he used to be rather shallow when it came to appearances, but quickly grew out of it the older he became. He would even be open to a relationship with someone of another species. He’s had feeling of attraction towards non-Draenei before, and would be curious to pursue something with such a person. 

He still appreciates a good set of horns on a Draenei woman, though. And long legs are, to him, wonderful on any race. He might feel more comfortable with someone of his own kind, someone who has lost the same things as him, who was there when the Exodar crashed, and knew what it felt like to climb from the wreckage, just as lost as he was, and not know what the new world had in store for them.

👀 & ☕️ for Eryuk!!

Thank you soo much, I enjoyed answering these!!

👀 Describe your OC through the eyes of another person! (bonus + specify who)

- It’s difficult to precisely pin down anyone’s first impression of Eryuk without context. I would say that he comes across as quite self-assured and easygoing, direct but respectful in his way of speaking. He’s polite to everyone, even people he disagrees with. Neither does he seek to humiliate or usurp, always giving praise where he can, and is forgiving of people’s shortcomings. He can be impetuous - snippy even - towards anyone unpleasant if there’s no chain of command to respect. Stress erodes his patience; he doesn’t suffer fools. But Eryuk is also playful, courageous, and appreciative of the simpler things in life. When there’s no fighting to be done, he’s outgoing and sociable, and loves to be physically active. His goofiness has been known to catch people off-guard, but once they realise that’s his natural state when not dogged by thoughts of war, I expect that people find him to be good-hearted and generous.

☕ Give us one (or more if you feel like it) of your OCs deep dark secrets! Why do they keep it hidden? Spill the tea!

- More than once, Eryuk almost fell sway to the Man’ari’s temptations of power. Not long into the war on the Broken Isles, his mind was overrun by a deadly sorcerer who latched onto Eryuk’s existing sense of despair and promised boons of strength, leadership, prestige. In the visions implanted by this Man’ari, Eryuk was reminded how savage and mindless the orcs on Draenor had become under Magtheridon’s influence, reminded of his hatred for them, even though they’d long been freed of their curse. He experienced an unfamiliar arrogance at the thought of being neither their subordinate nor their equal if he ever joined the Legion. The Eredar are, after all, the elite race within the demon ranks. With them, he would’ve led armies.

It’s for this reason Eryuk is highly suspicious of the Lightforged. Their hubris reminds him too much of what he felt under the Man’ari’s hold. It’s for this reason he avoids demons at all costs, even those enslaved to warlocks. And although he knows he came to his senses after each mental attack he believes he’s susceptible. It terrifies him. As testament he spent most of the Broken Isles hiding in total shame, secluded to the Sanctum of Light and other quieter corners of Azeroth to mentally recover from the trauma of not only seeing the Legion return, but have them almost claim him.

Eryuk never saw the Halls of Valor. He never fought on Argus. He barely set foot on the Isles. And he’ll never forgive himself for it.
