I've been using a lot of cool pics I find to sort of help assist with whatever mood I'm trying to convey while I'm writing, I usually just have some pics open in other windows so I can switch back and forth between fl studio and a e s t h e t i c. Something else I like to do is go outside and find new scenic places, especially during sunsets, it's kind of surprising how helpful that is.

Also, I just got back into video games, those have been really inspiring. Specifically Undertale (for really emotional melodies), and if I ever want to make a song that makes me feel nostalgic, I usually play Sonic Adventure.

Since the file size limit is kind of small, here's an imgur album of inspo pics: http://imgur.com/a/r4SzG

Obligatory Madeon.

Recently, I've been looking more towards underground producers in terms of sound design inspiration, and mixing+mastering references.
Sakuraburst has probably blown my mind more than any other artist tbh (www.soundcloud.com/sakuraburst), and Sanjaux is also really imressive (www.soundcloud.com/sanjaudio)

This might just be my headphones, but I'd add some more bass to the kick, and lower the volume of the clapsnarething. That very first part is great, I really love it.
