Six weeks ago, for no reason whatsoever other than saying he's my favorite character, I decided to start an Instagram account under the name of Shellington Sea Otter - a character from the British children's show The Octonauts who happens to be a marine biologist (and a rather awkward but cute one, too). I wanted to have a little fun with it myself and see where it went, based on how I felt about it so far.
I'm just weird that way. Accept that. (Though I might change my ways later on, I tell you!)
Here's a couple of Instagram posts from "his" account to date. (With all due respect/credit to Meomi, Brown Bag Films, and the BBC.)

Caption: SHELLINGTON'S FIRST POST "Hope everyone's having a great day so far! I'm Shellington, scientist and biologist of the Octonauts. Has anybody watched the latest episode yet?"

Caption: "SCREAM" "What kind of face was I even making there?! 😝 Oh, and Dashi looked a bit giddy... or something... #fbf #flashbackfriday"

Caption: DAVID TENNANT "It appears I made a bit of an error on my bio... I meant to say I am a Tenth Doctor lookalike but I put down Eighth Doctor instead. 😔
But what the heck, nobody noticed it anyway. (At least I'm not in Brian Williams's position with where's he in right now.) #DoctorWho #TenthDoctor #DavidTennant"
Picture
Caption: Even though Meomi created the Octonauts in 2004 before David Tennant's first appearance as the Tenth Doctor in 2006 (in the "new" Doctor Who series), many people have pointed out similarities between Shellington and Tennant, particularly their haircuts.
Also, Doctor Who sits in the same company as the Octonauts - both are broadcast by the BBC, though on separate channels.

Caption: GIVE IT UP FOR LENT "Popped a question on Wednesday about Lent. Giving up my addiction to books for 40 days. Sure, I'll read once in a while, but reading all the time and doing something else at once is... uh... I don't know, what do you guys think?"

Caption: #TheDress "So this is what Dashi and Tweak must've been talking about... Well...
(all of this over the color of this dress... 😔 I mean, I understand that there's some science to it but...)

Caption: JELLYFISH BLOOM "You'd have to feel bad for a sea otter when:
A) he's stuck in a jellyfish bloom, and/or
B) is still on the endangered species list.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SEA OTTER AWARENESS WEEK, PEOPLE!
(sorry for the all caps statement. And speaking of jellyfish blooms, there's an Octonauts episode of that right now. Perfect for #flashbackfriday.) #fbf"
Caption: That's pretty much all there is for now. Apologies for my weirdness and potential stupidity. You might have to deal with it as we go along... 😝😉
(And now, back to your regular programming.)
