"Dr. Travis told us that the deck-building mechanics in Marvel’s Midnight Suns echoed the buildup and recombination of common trope phrases like “swift-footed Achilles” and “cunning Odysseus” into larger trope themes like getting stuck on an island that resonate harder the more times they are used."
Also, I'm going to apply that list technique to a story this very morning.
"They are reassuring, nostalgic, even. But how is it possible to feel nostalgia for things that do not yet exist?"
As an artist, I am often invited to recreate a nostalgic feeling of past, known art when creating new projects, because people avoid discomfort of 'the New' and unfamiliar.
I love the thinking here, with the bamboo and greenery. If anyone has experienced their body breathing deeper in a waiting room with a fake greenery wall, they understand the importance of the 'organic' in our day-to-day lives. The pride one feels noticing a new leaf on a plant we have nurtured cannot be replicated or synthesised. And having our astronauts feel those vital chemicals would only boost the KPI the brief would be seeking.
Thanks. Now I know the nickel word for a concept I wrote about here.

Thank you for articulating this.
