The Doctor and Arthur Darvill

5/16/2015

Finally getting around to some updates that I've been meaning to do. Mainly my Doctor Ood page which remained untouched since April 2014. I've been very proud of my Doctor Ooding, and when it was announced that Arthur Darvill was going to be a guest this year, I knew that it was necessary for the Doctor and he to reunite. I remembered how dedicated I was the year before in trying to get to Matt Smith and almost not even having Doctor Ood acknowledged. Well, Mr. Darvill did not disappoint! There was a lovely interaction between Mr. Darvill and the Doctor, even if the Doctor was fairly speechless throughout most of it.

There was clapping, there was hat tipping, and if Doctor Ood's squeeing was able to be heard, it would have filled the hearts of people everywhere. Doctor's day made!

It was nice to get out into the Ood world once again. My presence often confuse people trying to guess what exactly the Doctor is. My favourite guess this year comes from a little boy on the train who declared quite knowingly that I was a "Ghost Cowboy". Considering my travelling companions at the time, I understand his mistake.

The costume hasn't changed from last year, aside from a new paint job on the umbilical cord. It was very pink in 2014, trying to match the hind brain, but it was, in my opinion, a little too bright. After consulting a few more images I opted to go for the grayer look, which I think worked out a little better. You probably can't see much of a difference in the pictures, but it was a dramatic change in person.
I did find another Ood while I was on parade. We actually had the same face, only Doctor Ood is a free Ood, while the other we encountered was, unfortunately, enslaved. One day I will invest in my Friends of the Ood FOTO buttons, a noble cause if ever there was one. No, I do not have a picture of the other Ood. It is very difficult for the Doctor to operate a camera. Plus, with brain in hand, my hands are often very full. 

Will the Doctor be returning next year? Hard to say. I'm very restricted as an Ood and I have to rely on my companions for just about everything. But I've put too much love into this character to see it come to an end. After all, I'm getting more and more comfortable in my Ood skin. This year it finally stopped smelling like toxic lead paint!
