Its honestly so painful to me, the sheer amount of turmoil that Anakin has experienced in his life. If you really sit down and think about what he's been through, he truly is one of the most tragic characters in fiction.

Born a slave to a single mother on a backwater, forgotten, barren world with no opportunities (Sidenote as much as we laugh at the "I don't like sand" meme, it actually is a meaningful line. He hates that world, that life, wants to put it behind him. Can't help but think of the mother he abandoned there)

Forced to choose between freedom and leaving his mother to her fate. A ridiculous amount of pressure to put on a 9 year old

Loses the only father figure he's had, and ultimately the only person to truly show faith in him, almost immediately after finding him

Becomes a burden and disappointment to a reluctant, inexperienced master (Before you come at me, I ADORE Obi-Wans and Anakins relationship. I love their banter, and I truly think they loved one another ridiculously and my heart breaks at what they became. But I do think that Anakin felt like a burden and disappointment sometimes. Especially at the beginning, Obi-Wan only really takes him on out of duty to Qui-Gon, it wouldn't have been his own choice. He didn't believe in him the way Qui-Gon did. And because Obi himself was grieving and young and inexperienced, he didn't have the confidence to guide Anakin the way he should have. He falls back on the rules too much, after bending them to take him on in the first place. He's too strict with him, too harsh. He doesn't tell him how much he loved him until it's too late, which just adds to the angst)

Is constantly told that he needs to let go of his attachment to his mother whilst being plagued my dreams of her death.

Watches his mother die in his arms with the knowledge if only he could have done something sooner he could have saved her (and this is the moment I think, pivotally, that his capacity for the dark side becomes real. Not the moment when he kills the Tuscans in anger just after. But in this quiet moment of death. The moment that voice in his head starts burrowing like a worm "Not enough, more, better, faster, stronger". If he could just burn hotter, brighter, push harder, then no one else would die.)

Is thrust into a war at 19

Is entrusted with a 14 year old apprentice at 20. Loves her like family only to watch the order he gave up everything for, the order that let his mother die, the order that is the reason he cannot have a normal life with his wife, drive his little sister away from him.

Plagued to madness by visions of his wife dying. Goes insane to try to save her only to be her own downfall. Is cut into pieces and left to burn alive by his brother. Suffers excruciating pain being pieced back together. Is forced to live with the knowledge that he led to the love of his life's death, where every breath is a reminder of the monster he has become.

Becomes increasingly aware that his new master, the only person he has left, the person he betrayed everyone for, the person he trusted in his times of need and thought understood him, would toss him away without a second thought and replace him with Luke.

That smile when he takes off the mask and looks at Luke in Return of the Jedi means so much. It's so pure, and light and carefree for those few seconds. The first time we've ever seen him truly at peace. He is finally free from the pain.

#I would gnaw off my own arm to see more of force ghost Anakin just chilling and being happy #Can we get a light-hearted spin off of force ghost Anakin please #He's just tinkering around with ghostly spare parts and building things look I don't know how this works but he deserves that afterlife #human disaster anakin #star wars #star wars prequels #return of the jedi #original trilogy #anakin skywalker #darth vader #anakin angst #right in the feels

Do you drink wine? What kinds do you like if you do?

Oh I love wine! Wine is the best!

Im quite partial to a very dry Prosecco, a good valpolicella ripasso or amarone, or a big bold super Tuscan and/or Cab Sauv (…I might have a preference for Italian wines/grapes)

That said, I’ve recently been getting into Primativos and Chiantis

Pinot noirs are fiiiine if I must, but not a fave

Pinot Grigio is very drinkable if I must do a cheap white at the airport, ditto for Malbec or Merlot for the reds

Im incredibly picky about Chardonnays but when I find a good one, they are to die for

I like vihno verde in the summer, also very dry rosés

But yeah—I love talking about wine, drinking wine, tasting/smelling/describing etc

It’s a rich, wonderful world and I love it so much

[ask meme]

Thank you!! 💕💕

Hate my Leonardo da Vinci obsession.

I went to wikipedia to find a specific crude sketch from Leonardo's journals to make a meme and suddenly I found my way into Salai's italian wikipedia article and now I'm going the rabbit hole about Luigi Pulci's Il Morgante to confirm a footnote in Walter Isaacson's biography of Leonardo da Vinci. According to it, Salai's (who was Leonardo's apprentice/servant/model/lover depending on your opinion) nickname (his real name was Gian Giacomo Caprotti, and he used alias Andrea Salai sometimes) means "little devil" and the term "salai" is derivative from Tuscan dialect mening "The devil's foot/leg" (I think the expression was "Il Salaino or something??) , But then he adds that the name comes from a DEMON in the epic Morgante. I took this to mean that there is a demon character in the novel (sometimes I realized as false only later)

(another fact about Salai's name is that sometimes it's spelled as Salaí, so it becomes Sa-la-i, instead of Sa-lai)

A detail I want to point out is that Leonardo had Il Morgante in his library, and it's included in his list of books he owns. So yes it's very possible Leonardo would've taken the name from there.

The funny this is that I have already went down this rabbit hole like year prior, but it ended abruptly without conclusion because I'm that type if person who starts something and then abandons it.

HOWEVER what I did find last time was that the only named demon character I've been able to find is Astarotte. So I was growing skeptical about the "salai's nickname comes from Il Morgnte" as a whole. No matter where I looked, there was no mention of a character named Salai.

But then after like.... Months into this thing plaquing me, and "researching" it on and off, I found this:

XXI 47 7 (Canto Ventunesimo)

I don't speak italian besides individual words so obviously I had no idea what the context was. However, at this point I realized to check my university library for any edition of Il Morgnte, and I managed to find a very fancy Italian edition. However I was bumped when I google translated the paragraph and it seemed that Salai did not refer to any particular character in the novel, rather, it's just a comparison "as does Salai in the fall" I guess there is a Salai named demon in the epic but like .. it's not a character technically.

TODAY i digged up these again because I was reminded of this, and saw that there was a footnore about "salay" in this page I had taken a picture of like over a year ago. Before the footnote had gone unnoticed for me, oh the regret is hitting...

According to machine translation that footnote 7. Explains that Salay refers to "other infernal power" and fallen angels (so demons at least)

WHICH IS FUNNY because I started to go down this rabit hole again because the Italian wikipedia article of Salai also mentions Salai's name coming from Il Morgante, but there it's said that: "the expression is used to evoke an infernal power" (Nell'opera L'espressione è impiegata oer evocare una potenza infernale)

So um.... I've wasted many hours of my finite life to confirm this little nuget of information. Idk where I'm going anymore.

Thanks for reading about my decent into insanity I guess

If any Italian speakers have anything they'd like to add or point out, please tell me!

HCS-La Squadra's Dictionary, where are they from?

Melone

Tuscany, (???)

Nobody on his team knows which city he really comes from. To be precise, nobody on his team knows his full backstory.

One thing is for sure, though: Melone was born and raised in Tuscany.

Why are his teammate so sure about him being Tuscan?

Easy. When Melone speaks, everyone can hear the infamous "Gorgia Toscana" ( Tuscan throat).

The "Gorgia Toscana" is a phonetic phenomenon governed by a complex of allophonic rules characteristic of the Tuscan dialects.

The gorgia affects the voiceless stops /k/ /t/ and /p/, which are pronounced as fricative consonants in post-vocalic position (when not blocked by the competing phenomenon of syntactic gemination): /k/ → [h] ; /t/ → [θ] ; /p/ → [ɸ]

E.g "Coca cola" → "koʊkə ˈkoʊlə" becomes " hoʊkə ˈhoʊlə".

Melone speaks using different kinds of Tuscan dialects.

Sometimes people think He's Fiorentino (Florence) by the way he flirts with girls. However, the lavender man also uses the 'boia deh, bimbi' when he feels in a 'ganzo' (cool) mood, which is part of Livorno's dialect.

Most of the time, he speaks like someone from Siena. That's why his friends tease him by saying he's from 'Poggistronzi' instead of 'Poggibonsi'.

Ghiaccio directly calls him 'Pisano di merda.', which is the worst thing you can say to someone from Tuscany (who wasn't born in Pisa of course).

According to Illuso's latest gossip, Melone was born in Pisa and does everything he can to hide it. Illuso heard him saying the expressions "ninì" and "nina" a thousand times, which are commonly used in Pisa.

Is he a communist or just Tuscan?

Melone occasionally salutes his teammates by raising his fist while saying "'hompagni" (comrades). He's 100% goliardic when he does that.

Melone puts some blasphemies here and there when he speaks, but they are NOTHING compared to Ghiaccio's.

Favorite expressions (dialect):

"Hai fatto di morto bene" (You did good!)

"Maremma Diahola/Buhaiola/Maiala" (Goddamit!)

"Gliè Ganzo!" (Cool!/That thing is cool)

"Boia deh" (filler word used in Livorno)

"Ir tegame de tu ma' " (motherfucker)

"Oi bimbi" (hey guys)

"OH BISCHERO!" (You dumbass!)

"Un poi dahe de grullo a me!" (You can't fool me)

"S'addì d'andà..." (we should go...)

"T'ha detto stecco te! un la fo' la fihura der becco." (easy for you to say, I'm not going to do that.)

"Voi fahe i'cche vi pare" (You do you.)

Melone looking in the mirror after a mission just to notice his clothes are ruined:

"Io un ci vengo conciaho 'osi!! 'Ome le troho le mamme a Babyface se sembro usciho da un filme di Dario Argento!!!"

( I am NOT going out looking like this!!! How am I supposed to pick up MILFS looking like I came from Dario Argento's latest movie?!)

Melone when his laptop freezes:

"Sto trohiaio s'è inceppato n'artra vorta..."

(My 'shitface''s froze again...)

Ghiaccio

Veneto, (Vicenza)

Ghiaccio was born in Vicenza, but his mother is from Verona.

Illuso teases Ghiaccio by saying that he is that kid from Vicenza who participated in the 1994 edition of "Lo Zecchino d'Oro", an annual international children's song competition. To watch the meme, click here → Vicenza

Illuso:" Ziofà Ghiaccio, cosa c'è di bello a Vicenza già?"

(Hey Ghiaccio, What's something good you have in Vicenza?)

Ghiaccio: "CHIEDIMELO UN'ALTRA VOLTA DIOPORCO, FIOL DE UNA TROIA. ABBI LA SPACCIATAGGINE DI CHIEDERMELO N'ARTRA VOLTA, MALEDETTO IL DOPPIO DIO. VAI IN FIGA DE TO MARE."

(I DARE YOU TO ASK ME ABOUT THAT SHIT ONE MORE TIME, ONE MORE TIME, YOU SON OF A BITCH. GET FUCKED, YOU STUPID CUNT.)

Ghiaccio spent his teenage years in Padua where he studied at 'Camerini Rossi' high school.

In Padua he learned to appreciate alcohol.

Ghiaccio is an Aperol Spritz and Campari Spritz enjoyer. He also drinks Cynar.

Le 'bestemmie'. (Blasphemies) are part of Ghiaccio's cultural and linguistic heritage. In Veneto, Blasphemies are not seen as curses, but rather as "filler words".

He's a Germano Mosconi fan.

Italian blasphemies are usually referring to catholic biblical figures, e.g. God, Virgin Mary, Jesus etc…

Veneto, together with Friuli and Tuscany, is one of the regions where the percentage of blasphemies is really high.

Ghiaccio can get really creative with blasphemies.

Melone says that Ghiaccio doesn't swear. He's just engaging in reasoned conversations with the Almighty.

Favorite expressions (dialect)

"Dai,Tosi." (C'mon guys.)

"Tasi.Dioporco." (Shut the fuck up.)

"Copate." (Die.)

"Te fàsso vedar che ora che se." (You're going down, fucker.)

"Va’ in móna." (Go fuck yourself.)

"Vara sto móna se gli ha da inferocirme, diocàn." (This fucker is getting on my nerves.)

"Chi se ne ciava." (Who cares.)

"Ma ti se sbregà?" (Are you dumb?)

"Magnasborae." (Jizz eater.)

"MA CHE OOOOOO..." (WHAT THE HELL!??)

"...A LE TOCA BERE COME UNA GORNA, DIOCÀN." (WE GOTTA DRINK LIKE IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.)

Ghiaccio leaving a voicemail to Melone when he's late:

"...te lo dico con calma Melone: Dio Böia BASTA CIAMARME, MALEDETTO IL DOPPIO DIO! Dio Böia, adexo son qua, dioporco, che quanto te vè te facio gli oci neri-MA CHE OOOOOO! è un quarto d’ora che ti sto aspettando-ti ho detto:vieni alle sei, diocane ignorante deficente…"

(...I'm saying this in the calmest way possible: Why THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME? YOU STUPID CUNT! Now I'm stuck here-the moment I catch you up I'll beat the shit out of you, Melone!! WHAT THE HELL?!? I've been waiting for 15 fucking minutes-I've told you: Come at six, you stupid cockteaser, motherfucker...)

Formaggio

Lazio, (Rome)

Formaggio was born in the Centocelle district.

Knows how to properly cook 'Carbonara' and 'Spaghetti cacio e pepe'

Romanesco D.O.C

Says "AÒ" to start EVERY sentence.

Definitely NOT from Roma-Nord.

When He was a teen, Formaggio used to hang out in the Parioli district, only to bang a couple of young chicks from rich families.

Definitely NOT a Pariolino. (a native or inhabitant of Parioli · (informal) a person with a bourgeois standard of living and right-of-centre politics.)

Favourite expressions (dialect)

"Daje!" (Let's do this!/let's go)

"'Ndo cojo cojo." (I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm doing it.)

"Accanna. Accanna i gheims." ( Whatever you're doing. Stop it.)

"È na crema" (that's top notch)

"FIODENA" ( Linguistic contraction for "fio de 'na mignotta", son of a bitch.)

"Lo sto a fà" ( literally means: 'I'm going to do that' but it's used to express the opposite: 'Don't kid yourself, I'm not going to do that.)

"L'ho già fatto." (Now I'm DEFINITELY not going to do that)

"Sta pischella m'assangua." (I really like this girl.)

"Sei proprio da 'a Lazio." (This is the worst thing a Romano could say to anybody.)

"Mecojoni." (Damn)

"LI MORTACCI TUA" (Go fuck yourself)

"MANNAGGIA AR CORE DE CRISTO!" (Blasphemy)

Formaggio driving with Ghiaccio

"AO', ma che è bisestile 'sto semaforo?"

(This red light is lasting more than 'Beautiful People')

Ghiaccio:"tasi diocancaro."

(Shut the fuck up.)

Formaggio criticizing Melone's babyface

"Sta maghina è pormonitica. Che c'hai preso un virus pe vedè tutto quer porno?"

(This thing is so slow. Are you sure you didn't catch a virus watching all that porn?)

Melone:"Boia deh, un se po' lavorà 'hosì."

(For god's sake, I can't work like this.)

Illuso

Piedmont, (Turin)

He was born in Turin, but also worked as a model in Milan during his teenage years.

Illuso loves Milan but is always second to Turin.

Adds "già" at the end of every question.

"Roma provincia, Torino capitale" (Rome is a province, Turin the capital.) says EVERY Torinese ever. This sentence is written on many walls in Turin.

Anything under the 'Po' river' is 'Africa'.

Constantly harasses his teammates from the South by saying " Sotto al Po', tutti terroni".

Would never directly call Risotto 'terrone' (and neither would Ghiaccio) cause it may sound pretty offensive.

Illuso drinks the 'tamango' a cocktail with rumored hallucinogenic abilities that everyone loves.

Always argues with Ghiaccio that "Le Panche" Cocktail bar is better than any "Bacaro Tour".

Almost died when a GTT bus caught fire. This happens at the rate of one every 6 months.

Illuso is fond of 'Cri Cri' , hazelnut chocolate candies covered in sugar granules.

He heard that they are going to held '2006 Winter Olympics' in Turin and he's totally bragging it with Formaggio.

"Roma? Dove stava Roma già? È forse una provincia?" (Rome? I don't know her. Is it some kind of province?)

Favourite expressions (dialect)

"Non mi oso/non si osa." (I would never.)

"Com'è?" (how are you?)

"Ziofà." (filler word.)

"Boja faùss." (this clever imprecation historically substitutes a terrible blasphemy)

"Vate caté na mola!" (Go fuck yourself!)

"Fatti furbo." ( Get a grip/ stop talking nonsense.)

"Boh." ( I don't know.)

"Neh." ( True dat.)

"E bon." (That's it.)

"Preso bene/male." (I'm having/NOT having fun)

"Facciamo che..." (Let's...)

"Mica hai voglia di..." (Would you mind...)

"Oh basta là." (Quit it!)

"Cerea." (Goodbye)

Risotto

Sicily, (Messina)

Risotto was born in Messina.

He speaks almost exclusively messinese (dialect of Messina). He began to speak proper Italian only when he became the leader of his team and could only be understood by one member, Prosciutto.

Messina has an historical rivalry with Palermo.

Some typical features of the Sicilian dialect are also present in the dialect of Messina, together with some dialectal peculiarities shared with the dialect of Reggio Calabria:

A unique feature of the Messina dialect is that the 'i' in unstressed syllabes that are not positioned at the beginning of a word is pronounced /ɨ/:

e.g.

Missina /mɨˈsːina/ "Messina" > missinisi /mɨsːɨˈnisɨ/ "Messinese" (and not /misːiˈnisi/)

Favourite expressions (dialect)

"Ma fai u seriu, vaia, babbu." (Are you serious? Stop talking nonsense, you dumbface.)

"A ietta sangu." (lit. Bleed to death)

"Non ti scantari." (Don't be afraid)

"Babbiddiu." (Dummy.)

"Baciannicchiu." (Stupid.)

"Ma pensu..." (I think so...)

"A cauci’nto culu!!" (Quickly!!)

"Non ni inchiri i pila." (Stop bothering me.)

"A viri sta manu? a vo virri cu zum?" (You see this hand?Wanna get a closer look?)

"Vidi mi ti fazzu fari Messina-Palemmu vulannu." (I'll slap you so hard that I'll make you fly from Messina to Palermo).

"Ti ni ghiavu una chi pi ghiavartini n'autra ta ciccari cu la scientifica." (I'll give you a slap, so hard that to give you another I have to look out for you with forensics.)

"Si non ti stai fermo, ti fazzu tornare cu casciabancu." (Quit it or I'll make you sleep in a casket.)

"Vogghiu i provi, cca' i vogghiu." (I want proofs. And I want them here and now.)

"Voi vidiri comu vegnu docu e ti pigghiu a tumpulati?" (Want to see me come there so I can start beating you?)

"A mia mi pari na pigghiata pu u culu." (This is fucking fraud.)

"Ti manciu l’anma." (You're dead meat.)

"MANNAIA LA CULONNA" (this clever imprecation substitutes a terrible blasphemy)

Risotto explaining that the target is in a very far away location

Formaggio: Aò, 'ndo stà er cojonazzo?"

(Where's our next target?)

"Casa di ddiu"

(Miles from anywhere.)

Formaggio:"Mecojoni."

(Of course.)

Risotto teaching Pesci how to park

"Quannu senti a’ bbotta, rruasti."

(When you hear the car bumping, it means you're arrived at your destination)

Risotto reproaching one of his team members

"Ma cettu chi tu matri era mbriaca quannu ti fici."

(Your mother was definitely dead drunk when she conceived you.)

Risotto tired of hearing about Formaggio's latest affair

"Ma l'hai u pottu d'ammi pi sparari sti minchiati?"

(Do you have a gun license just to shoot the shit?)

Risotto when there's too many people in the room:

"Semu chiù sai di cani i Brasi"

(There's too many dogs in here.)

Prosciutto

Sicily, (Palermo)

Born in Palermo from a family associated with Cosa Nostra.

Illuso defines him as a "terrone ripulito" because even if he does not often speak in palermitano, he has a really thick accent.

Risotto once said to him: "Non sirvi chi parri tischi-toschi, si sente di dove si.). With the expression "Tischi toschi" (which literally means:'like the Tuscans') he straight up told him that it's useless for him to hide his accent and to pretend he comes from the north.

Prosciutto always tries to speak proper italian, but when he gets angry, he resorts to palermitano.

Palermo and Messina hate each other, but Prosciutto has nothing but respect for Risotto.

Since palermitano is another diatopic variety of the Sicilian dialect, it has a lot of things in common with the messinese.

A lot of expressions are actually shared by both dialects. So it's not rare to hear Prosciutto and Risotto saying the same things with some little phonologic differences.

Favourite expressions (dialect)

“Amunì” (Let's go!)

"Si na camurrìa" (you're a nuisance)

"Ma va scassacci ‘a minchia." (Stop bothering me.)

"Si nuddu ammiscatu cu nente." (You're worthless.)

"Si na negghia." (You're a good for nothing.)

"Muoviti ddruocu" (Don't move.)

"Cca sugnu." (I am here, I take life the way it is.)

"Suca" (lit. suck it.)

"Bedda Maaaaatri!" (Imprecation.)

"Va ecca u vilianu" (Die.)

"I buscaisti mai a st'ura." (Have you ever been beaten at this time of the day?)

"Ti pigghiu pi capiddi e ti fazzu fari Palermo-Catania tipo Via Bandiera" (I grab you by the hair and then I'll drag you from Palermo to Catania like Via Bandiera)

"Ti dugnu na boffa ca ppi daritinni n'autra t'avi a veniri a circari a scientifica" (I'll give you a slap, so hard that to give you another, I have to look out for you with forensics.)

"Si cosa 'i manciariti cca e ghiriti a cacare a Morreale" (You suck).

"Tu scuiddasti quannu l'acqua ri puzzu ti paria champagne?" (You're too fussy/picky).

Prosciutto and Risotto in a normal corversation:

"Chi ci riri a minchia?"

(Why the fuck you laughing?)

"Picchi a minchia riri?"

(At least I can fuck.)

Pesci

Campania, (Eboli)

Pesci grew up with his nonni in Eboli, but after their death he spent all his adolescence in Naples.

He loved his nonna more than anything else.

"Ua" to express every kind of emotion.

He wasn't exactly the smartest kid at school, but he always had a good nature.

Pesci has some problems speaking correct Italian.

His Italian teacher used to slap his fingers with a rule when he got a conjugation wrong.

A Zizzona enjoyer. (it's a kind of mozzarella)

He would drink coffee at anytime of the day. Risotto and Prosciutto do this too.

In Naples, he moved into the Le vele di Scampia neighborhood.

Le vele di Scampia was known to be one of the most dangerous blocks in Naples because of the Camorra.

Pesci started smoking since he moved to Scampia.

"Carlo Levi ha scritto 'Cristo s'è fermato ad Eboli' perché non ha mai visto Scampia" (Carlo Levi wrote 'Christ Stopped at Eboli' because he never saw Scampia)

Napoletano and Salernitano (and its variation: Ebolitano) are probably the richest dialects in expressions.

Pesci making an overnight snack at 3 a.m.

"STO FACENN NU MARONN E CACIO E MACCARUN E NESSUN HA DA SCASSA' U CAZZ."

(I'M MAKING FUCKING MAC AND CHEESE AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME.)

Pesci after seeing Ghiaccio slipping on his own ice:

"Agg pariat a vita mij, sto murenn!"

(I've never had so much fun in my life! Now I can rest in peace...)

Pesci whispering to himself after being unfairly reproached by Prosciutto

"...par o cazz"

(You dumbass...)

Pesci when Melone hasn't pronounced a "C" because of his thick accent, and nobody has understood a single word.

"tien a guerr n' cap...fa pac co'c'rviell"

(Make peace with your brain because you're so confused that you can't understand your own words.)

Pesci when someone underestimate him

"O scè ij teng e spall o cupert, e capit a chi apparteng?"

(Don't you know who I belong to?)

Pesci when asks for something to Risotto or Prosciutto

"mai pu cumann."

(Please, don't feel obliged to.)

Favorite expressions (dialect)

"Uè, fratm!" (Yo Bro!)

"Agg capit..." (Got it...)

"Jamm bell!" (Let's go!)

"Uanm" (I don't know. No seriously, I literally have no idea about what's going on)

"Aumm Aumm" (To do something in a sneaky way)

"Facimm a croc" (Like it or not, we gotta deal with it)

"Ma over faj?" (Are you serious?)

"Ch cazz t uadd?" (What you looking at?)

"Si na lota" (You're dumb.)

" Vuò fa question?" (You wanna fight?)

"M staj abbuffann la uallera" (You're boring me)

"Sto prorij na chiavc" (I feel sick/I'm in pain)

"Foss a maronn." (I hope so.)

"Accusì nun va'..." (That's no good...)

"Uagliò!" (Dude!)

"Agg semb trmmat e fridd, maij e paur." (Ironical: "I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared!")

In a sea of knockoffs and underwhelming imitations, Boulder stands tall as the genuine article. Let’s take a humorous dive into why Boulder Vape has become the go-to for discerning vapers who won’t settle for anything less than the best.

And let’s be honest, in a market where some products fizzle out faster than a sitcom without the laugh track, Boulder’s commitment to quality is a breath of fresh (or should we say flavored?) air.

Whether it's casually peeking out from a jeans pocket or held between fingers, the device's finishes remain as crisp as the day they were unboxed, resisting wear and tear with the grace of a well-maintained luxury car. Boulder Vape isn’t just about functionality; it’s about making a statement with enduring elegance, ensuring that each device isn’t just an accessory but a statement piece in its own right.

Drake discography review

Take Care (2011)

****1/2

"They love me like Prince, the new kid with the crown," Drake dryly crows on "Cameras Good Ones Go," a lumbering, synth-washed epic that, while not impressive with his melodies or chorus, stay in the hazy pocket of the nocturnal synths. It also directs the sound of the rest of the decade. The echoed confessions over moody keys were pioneered by Kid Cudi, Kanye West, The Weeknd and now Drake and Noah '40' Shebib. Songs like "Crew Love," the sparse drama of "Marvin's Room," the erotic, prowling "Make Me Proud" and "Practice" all revelled in sex and drug-laden encounters, all awash in imprecise and carnal 'vibes.' In certain quarters the album is seen as a millenial classic but ultimately overstays its welcome, and his rap bangers are mostly unimpressive on his part other than the strutting and hot "HYFR" with Lil Wayne.

Key tracks: Marvin's Room; Practice; Crew Love

Nothing Was The Same (2013)

****

Drake's strongest draw is how he included the listener in his ascent, his details of designer brands and foriegn flights felt less like braggadocio, but more like sign posts to check for in a voyage to prosperity. His transformation from up-and-comer to a king of rap was complete by this album and the songs reflected this. "Worst Behavior" and the epic grandeur of "Marble Cake" were the soundtrack of the black excellence wished for in the Obama years. The single from this, "Just Hold On(I'm Coming Home)" is a crafted gem of a song, lightly personal ("you act so different around me") but generally universal, a portrait of a man in control of his loves and his life for the time being.

Key tracks: Just Hold On; Tuscan Leather; Worst Behavior

If You're Reading This It's Too Late (2015)

*****

While this project might be the start of his tossed-off, meme-able album cover trend, this is a serious and integral part to Drake's musical offerings. When old heads think the rapper is singing too much, or college kids think he should drop a real hit, those disparate opinions revolve around the gravity of this 2015 set, when the sound of rap revolved around him. These Boi-1da, 40 and Wondagurl beats he rides comfortably and with a controlled rapping style. "Energy," the catchy boast "10 Bands," the seductive, growling "Company" (with then new star Travis Scott), the cosmopolitan sway of "Preach" with Partynextdoor, were all evocative, boastful songs with ear candy choruses and they comprised the sound of youth culture in America at the time. The respectable and conscientious To Pimp a Butterfly was ultimately a selection of rap album of the year from the electoral college of black culture. If it was left up to the popular vote, this album would have been chosen. All the different trends up to that time, from trap to chill wave, had Drake's finger on their pulse, leading to labels of culture vulture and of ghostwriting, but, the somber truth is that the omelet is never judged by the number of eggs cracked in the process.

Key tracks: Know Yourself; 10 Bands; You & the 6

Views (2016)

***1/2

The frustratingly inconsistent and overlong album cements the rapper on the top of the streaming charts from the twenty tracks and tacked on hit "Hotline Bling." What Drake's lack of quality control obscures is a breathtaking midsection. Over six or so songs as many styles are displayed, from down south drive rattle like "Faithful" to trap drawl in "Still Here" to the melodic world dance pop of "One Dance" with Wizkid and Kyla. The themes are the same, a look into the life of a brooding prince falling in and out of love, but maybe it's too studied, like how the Rhianna song here, "Too Good," sounds just like a Drake and Rhianna song should sound like, without demanding more. This oddly makes Views a good entryway album into Drake.

Key tracks: One Dance; Controlla; Feel No Ways; Hotline Bling

More Life (2017)

****

Initially written off as a content dump like its predecessor Views, this album/playlist has aged handsomely, establishing itself as a recurring soundtrack to our summer escapades. "Passionfruit" is a bright lounge classic, paving the way for the explosion of afro pop and campo today. "Blem" is nocturnal and oversharing, while "Glow" with Kanye West, is sprawling and relaxing. Between Drake being Drake though, is an international zeal that adds texture and unpredictability to the set. "Madiba Riddim" is tender and swaying music while "Skepta Interlude" is dense and industrial. Drake maintained his hold on pop and rap, even if this eclecticism was more of an aesthetic than inspiring.

Key tracks: Madiba Riddim; Blem; Passionfruit

Scorpion (2018)

***

An album that showcases the polarities of Drake, due to the double album becoming inflamed and muscular due to a brutal beef with rapper Pusha T. His most hardcore and steel-toed songs are here ("8 out of 10", "Emotionless") couples with his most breeziest ("Summer Games", "Ratchet Happy Birthday"). While the set has one of his best singles in the rousing fem anthem "Nice For What," the most interesting part of Scorpion is the drama and context surrounding it.

Key tracks: 8 out of 10; Nice For What; In My Feelings

Honestly, Nevermind (2022)

****

The house beats are less flashy and glitchy than the ones on Beyonce's summer release Renaissance, mostly here the songs are grumbling basslines with synth figures echoed and repeated. It fits with the lonely ballads he usually makes with producer 40 Shebib, a dance with the forlorn heart of the party. Even in the middle of the heavy dance heat of "Massive," Drake sings "I don't want to go." He sounds cold and autotuned, tempered and unknowable.

A touristic visit to a historied subgenre much in the same vein as David Bowie's 1975 album Young Americans and Madonna's 1994 R&B romp Bedtime Stories. The attempt to dip into house and dance mostly pays off because it plays to his strengths of melody and letting the phrasing emerge from the feeling the track elicits. In "A Keeper" he turns a taunt to a lover into an ear candy chorus twisting around the house thump. "Currents" sounds like an overheard half drunk call, and the idyllic first half of "Calling My Name" is less song lyrics and more the stuff you muse about looking out of windows. The album feels immediate, as if recorded in a couple of days, as if nothing was written down, and that improves it, even if it means no lyrics with wordplay and insight. It's this wide-eyed gut reaction to everything: love, the future, fame, that pussy calling his name.

Key tracks: Calling My Name; Massive; Flights Booked; Jimmy Cooks
