What do we call those things, like “artstation” “8K” “Studio Ghibli”, that we add to prompts? They’re not exactly tags, are they?
Okay, this is a start. “Reaching into my bucket of vibes and grabbing verdant-solarpunk-arcology”.. does it work?

Modifiers is technically true, but it’s so clunky. Four syllables (four and a half on the West Coast)!
What about “mods”
Qualifiers, enhancements, addendums, notes, modifiers

“Invocations” and “incantations” are both cheugy. What about “elements” though

Okay currently my favorite contenders are: vibes, cues, flavors, and this
Honestly tropes is very accurate but it’s kind of a tainted word at this point
"Tropes"? "Mimetes"? "Motifs"? "Swatches"?
