hmmm, I have to pinpoint a written work, that'd be a novel titled 'Suicide' by Édouard Levé. that is the first book I read that is written in 2nd pov—based how memories are written.

while an artist, I usually gravitate towards artists who can evoke a sense of mellow or emotions connected to that when you first see it ... (if its varhen specifically, its @tsuini_o_o) (if its nrhs, its @Shinya572)

but generally, I use anything (fan)arts, animation meme, songs, even my own experience that I come across to nail a specific scene!
