Of course @friends-table.bsky.social fans will be aware that "Fleggebit" itself derived from the Old Perpetuan, meaning literally "a bit of a flegg."

DreamForge Magazine @dreamforgemagazine.bsky.social · 1d

Today's Word: Flibbertigibbet
A silly, scatterbrained person; used to describe someone who talks incessantly without much sense. But in Shakespeare's day, referred to a foul demon or imp possessing a person. From Middle English "fleggebit," a name for a fiend or devil.

"SPACE EMPRESS ANDROMEDA", a comic i made in a day last year (1/5)

[1] An enormous space battleship is firing its frontal beams while under heavy fire from an unseen foe. There are explosions happening all over it.
A figure can be seen looking out from the ship's bridge.

[2] the Empress is sat watching the battle from her chair with a nonchalant expression. A soldier in a space suit arrives with a status report.

I appreciate Patreon mobile has changed its format so by default it shows me updates from people I haven't pledged to, because I enjoy getting pissed off.

as always when platforms impede their basic functionality by shoving random bs in my face, I can now say "I love being the Hateful Consumer!"
