When you think about scenes playing out in your world, what is the visual medium? Is it the same as the real world? Is it some form of cartoon or anime? 3D renders like a Pixar movie? Something else?

Is world just a leftist meme to you???
Comics. Which fortunately is the medium I’m working in for it. Unfortunately, it has lead to a some simplifications of original ideas, especially in regards to magic, shapeshifting, time progression, and alien anatomy in order to be clear with the reader what is happening. Ie. A tidally locked world makes for an interesting fantasy series, but it’s hard to show regular changes in time when every outdoor comic panel has similar lighting so nows it’s more of a slight wobble of eternal dawn and dusk, lol.
For me, all my worlds are some combination of Western and Asian cartoon styles. I’ve honestly been worldbuilding since I was a little kid, and being a Chinese immigrant both styles of 2D animation was present in my childhood. My worlds also usually feature cute animals/other creatures as characters and I think they would look cutest as cartoons. Some day I will commission some artwork work of my worlds.
I don’t really visualize it in any specific way.
But if I ever write about it, it’s going to be in text form. Specifically, in the form of wiki articles. Wiki articles written by a gaggle of hateful little liberals and fascists who are resorting to absurdly desperate lengths to spin reality into a favourable narrative that’s blatantly bullshit to anyone who isn’t also using it to cope. So basically as similar as possible to the way AES is portrayed IRL.
I imagine them in thoughts. Sometimes text too, but only rarely visually.
Sometimes I imagine them as a sort of 3d map, like “the castle is here, the forest is in front of it, the secret entrance is to the right, and the garden is on the back side”
Real world. Cinematic, perhaps, but that’s because I’m a sucker for a good scenery
Anime, usually.
whatever style into the spiderverse or Arcane is.
Sometimes as Anime, sometimes as Anime with a combination of Realism.
What can I say, I like the anime artstyle haha.
I mean, if I put effort into it I can just visualise reality, or the closest thing the human mind can synthesise. However, if I’m not actively thinking about it, most of the time things just crop up looking like a medieval manuscript.
