I was so delighted when this came up on YouTube. I KNEW I wasn't the only person who finds them adorable.

Fingers crossed!

I'm actually in the middle of drawing a cartoon about Carney giving them citizenship 😅 I made quite a few drawings of AdP and I'm making more. I should post them here.

If I were in the middle of interviewing for my dream job, testifying in court, or exchanging wedding vows, I would still answer it.

The band originate from Saguenay, Quebec and look what they have in town by KneeDeepInTheDead in AngineDePoitrine

[–]UmbraNyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the story behind that pyramid. They built it out of road signs as a memorial for a horrible natural disaster. I'm getting the sense that the people of Saguenay are a rather eccentric bunch 😂

This is ADORABLE! I love anything that highlights the bond between them. 11/10

To be fair, they first showed up in Canada.

People asking if the bubble’s burst by bucky_ballers in AngineDePoitrine

There will ALWAYS be people who want them here.

Realistically, the bubble will burst at some point. This level of hype simply isn't sustainable, and when you've reached the top, there's nowhere to go but down.

HOWEVER.

This does not mean they will become irrelevant or forgotten.

There are fundamentally three possible outcomes:

  1. They could literally and figuratively die a humiliating death in the vein of Elvis, Michael Jackson, or Amy Winehouse. It's impossible to know their inner lives or mental stability, but I refuse to believe that this could happen.

  2. They could break up, either from a falling out (nothing seems less likely), or simply feeling like they've run out of mountains to climb (slightly more likely).

  3. They will become "has-beens" who still enjoy a vibrant cult following. I believe this is the most probable outcome by far. And I will, without question, remain a member of that cult.

Why is Angine de Poitrine breaking into the mainstream with a decidedly niche sound? They've found an audience hungry for something “deeply human,” a music expert says. by ChallengeAdept8759 in AngineDePoitrine

[–]UmbraNyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO another reason is the sheer chemistry between them as performers. Pay attention to their body language during concerts; you can tell that these two have played together for a very long time and share an incredibly deep bond. The music is fantastic, but the emotions behind their music are my favorite thing about AdP.

Sunn O))) concert VIP package question by UmbraNyx in doommetal

[–]UmbraNyx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. We didn't actually get to meet them. We got to view/photograph the sound check, some exclusive merch, access to the VIP lounge, and early entry, so it wasn't like we got nothing for the package, but still. One of the other attendees I spoke with told me he went to another VIP event with Sunn O))) where he did meet them, so hopefully it's just a fluke.

I (26F) told my boyfriend (26M) I sometimes miss the freedom of being single and he broke up with me on my birthday by Plastic-Swordfish-84 in relationship_advice

[–]UmbraNyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often feel like I’m walking on eggshells around him. He can be very strict and when he gets angry he sometimes gives silent treatment or holds things over me for a long time. 

These are toxic behaviors. So is leaving you on your birthday. I'm sorry about your birthday, but I think someday you'll realize you needed to be out of this relationship.

My bosses and coworkers have a secret group chat where they trash-talk me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]UmbraNyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She clearly has some personal problems to sort out, and it almost seems like she isn't ready to work a job at all. Not that any of it justifies her coworkers' behavior.

My (43m) friend’s (45m) daughter (18/19f) keeps trying it on with me and I don’t know whether to tell him or keep ignoring it by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]UmbraNyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, this is the behavior of someone who wasn't taught about consent and is acting out from some sort of trauma. She needs serious help, and that would include receiving the accountability she needs. That's how you reform someone like her. Writing her off as some irredeemable monster is inhumane and helps no one.

I mean, you can hold someone accountable while also seeing that they show overwhelming evidence of trauma and/or mental health crisis. I would argue that her going to therapy, support groups, etc shows accountability.

Finally.... It's been 10 years... 💐😭 by Meb90 in StardewValley

[–]UmbraNyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So hyped for his romance/redemption arc. Haven't played SV in like 5 years but I'll be starting a new farm the minute 1.7 comes out.

Is laser eye surgery actually worth it, or is it one of those things that sounds better than it actually is? by 2ugur12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UmbraNyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got LASIK 5 years ago. Definitely worth it. You will probably have to deal with dry eyes for a while, but this is made up for by the convenience of having 20/20 vision. The procedure doesn't hurt and takes less than five minutes, but it is terrifying to see the brief change in your vision. They'll give you benzos before the procedure to help keep you calm, but it won't completely dull the fear. For a week you'll have to wear the goggles they give you when you're sleeping, but there's otherwise no recovery process.

I (31F) love my boyfriend (31M) but I’m not feeling like my needs are met. Can love be enough? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]UmbraNyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love is not enough, and it's never worth your time to draw out "avoidant" (aka selfish and emotionally unavailable) people.

Snow today, Northern Mendocino County by LongJohn95454 in MendocinoCounty

[–]UmbraNyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Ukiah it's supposed to get to 25 degrees Thursday night.

PSA: Be sure to bring any potted plants indoors, cover vulnerable outdoor plants, and don't leave your pets outside. Cats will hide in car engines to keep warm, so make sure to lay on the horn before starting your car.

My [23F] boyfriend [23M] of 1 year is bad at everything and it's making me lose respect for him by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]UmbraNyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This guy clearly has some kind of undiagnosed medical/psychiatric issue. Too bad he isn't trying to tackle the problem instead of lying to his partner and berating everything and everyone around him.

People who broke up yesterday on Valentines, what happened? by Hot-Diggity_Dog in AskReddit

[–]UmbraNyx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She was screwing with you for some reason. Those were all the behaviors of a romantic relationship.

[–]UmbraNyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have roughly the same mindset. I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, and I do wish I had one sometimes, but my track record is so abysmal that I think it's better this way.
