New Gunpla haul!
It’s not Jesta gundam, eh?
(Pardon the pun, it was too good to pass up).
Before black comes out I decided to order the rest of the Dino thunder team and it seems on accident I ordered the wrong white. Kinda surprised you can still buy legacy collection non secondhand.
it’s bricklink timeeeeeeee
oh I also got some parts that I use frequently in mocs
you both got gavla’s name wrong and misgendered her
from what I can tell this is bizarrely common, people seem to either think her name is galva or think she’s a guy
or both
I think she’s been disrespected long enough, she’s had to endure this for 15 years
oh also nice haul
the misspelling of her name is probably due to @Galva_Nize, at least that’s why I spelled it that way
as to galva being a girl, I guess I kinda just forgot that all of the blue characters were girls until 2009
also I think mister beast is my greatest creation yet
misgendering Vezok, Takadox, and Nocturn as well? You monster.
idk if Bohrok, Visorak, Rahkshi or Vahki have genders to speak of so they were not included
Actually that’s a good point
Aside from Gavla, all the other blue villain sets are male
Maybe that’s where the confusion comes from?
The Rakhshi and Bohrok are just robots, so I doubt that they have any concept of gender. I don’t know about visorak, though.
I frequently misspell her name and/or pronounce it wrong as Galva rolls off the tongue a lot better than Gavla. At least for me anyways. While from a written standpoint it follows a lot of the same trends as other blue Matoran/Toa/Turaga (Gali, Hahli, Vhisola, Dalu, etc.), it doesn’t have the same mouth feel.
If we just stick to primary set gals, we also got Nokama, Gaaki, Macku, and Idris. They don’t end in an L + vowel like the others, it is vowel-consonant-vowel for everyone except Idris. Even with the previous, it’s either a strong or alteration of the vowel before hitting that L-vowel combo, which Gavla doesn’t quite follow. That v+l combo acts as two layers of separation of the vowels in pronunciation, so not as smooth to say. While the swap of l+v has a similar problem, it weakens the V considerably and becomes more of an extension of the ‘ah’ sound.
Or I’m completely insane trying to work out excuses to justify my constant error.
And then we have Kyrehx, who is in the category of “who came up with this name?”
Apparently Vamprah didn’t make the cut either…
I had a feeling I made an oversight lol
