Visuals[]
The visuals for my aesthetic use bold colors (every shade of blue, bright pinks and purples, green, and scarlet) or patterns, occasionally mixed with neutral earth tones (particularly mustard yellow, olive green, and cream). Objects include swords, maps, animals (particularly cats, reptiles, and dinosaurs), mis en place, baked goods, scientific instruments and equipment, water, kudzu, overgrowth, '90s anime, and books.

Music[]
Eclectic music varying from the grungy-side of rock to music more usually associated with intellectualism. All non-classical music has to have lyrics that are singable (no screaming or too-quiet murmuring). Difficult to characterize uniting feature in music. It's almost that all music has a strong beat, but that isn't quite right. Taking suggestions.
