i mean this in an entirely platonic, slightly powerhungry way, but i love when people call me the friendly “boss.” like “you got is boss” or “whatever ya say, boss.” it’s so fun. like we’re in the worlds shittiest cartoon mafia
THOUGHT EXPIRIMENT for creators considering ai art: when starting out, i had to make my own covers in specific way which now IMMEDIATELY evokes ‘tingle’ identity. would my books have taken off if covers were just ai art that 'looked better’? OF COURSE NOT buds wouldve scrolled on
SO MUCH of artistry (but also branding and self promotion) is creating a visual identity. dont make your identity 'generalized slop’
