Welcome to my corner online for my creative endeavours and obsessions: quotes, graphics (icons, banners, wallpapers, etc), music videos, quizzes, some reviews and so forth...

'Utter Fool' began being for content relating to the BBC's Robin Hood, but has expanded to include the graphics and quotes previously found at Herenya's Ramblings. Looking at my tags should give you an idea of the things I'm interested - my 'obsessions' include The Lord of the Rings, The Princess Bride, Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre.  Of course, Robin Hood stuff will stuff be posted here, too.

Reason for this change from Robin Hood centric to general? My disappointment of the end of S2 means I pretend anything after 2x09 "Lardner's Ring" didn't happen, and I haven't been following S3 at all. (No Marian? I don't want to hear about it...) Also, I'm just not creating as much graphics-y  stuff anymore, and I wanted somewhere to "archive" my other graphics.

Feel free to wander about and leave comments. :)

Behold! an update. Of sorts.

I have remade several wallpapers, so that they are now available in 1366 x 768px and 1280 x 800px (previously, I had them in one size but not the other).

The remade wall include several Wheel of Time ones (here and here), several Robin & Marian ones, those based on Kristin Cashore's novel Fire, a couple of Arwen & Aragorn ones, and my Fire and Hemlock one.

These are based off the new covers of the Wheel of Time ebooks - Moiraine from The Fires of Heaven (strictly speaking, from a sketch-idea for the cover), and the battle at Dumai Wells from Lord of Chaos.
1366 x 768, and 1280 x 800.

These are based off the new covers of the Wheel of Time ebooks - Rand from The Dragon Reborn, Moiraine from The Fires of Heaven and Lan & Nynaeve from A Crown of Swords.

The current layout features Margaret Dashwood from the 2008 BBC mini-series Sense and Sensibility. She's not foolish, but I really like her, and decided I wasn't going to let the name 'Utter Fool' get in the way of a (subjectively) good layout.
Margaret Dashwood complains that "Girls can never do anything. Men can ride about the country and do things, and girls just sit and wait for things to happen." Given that she was living in 19th England, I thought she probably had a good point.

The header and the Robin/Marian mood theme were made by me (Herenya). I modified the layout using a layout base from ljlayouts.org. (The layout at Herenya Central was created entirely by me.) The icon table is from sql_girl.

All photographs (not screencaps) used in layouts and graphics were taken by me.

Along with images I've screencapped myself ( and I mainly do my own screencapping now), I have used: images, frames and textures from A-U.com, images from Secret Obsession, OutNow.ch, Die Chroniken von Narnia, Cap it! (Jane Eyre and Robin Hood), Tempest Icons, Mystic Bliss, Discover Kate and Long Ago Captures, brushes from from Designs by Magic, Studio911 Design and Crazy Rose, and textures from Celestial Star, Aethereality.net and imagination.
Credit for Doctor Who graphics can be found here.

Otherwise, it is the usual deal - I gain nothing except enjoyment and own nothing. Please contact me if I have failed to acknowledge ownership of anyone else's work.
