I’m Respect the Petty, and I love colors. I’m on my own little mission to annoy all of y’all about how colors, lighting, barriers, clothing, and other visuals enhance QLs and add depth to the story.
For those of you who keep asking me for a “Master List” (bleh!) since apparently it takes too much time to scroll through my insane amount of posts because I don't know how to stfu, here it is! Plenty of posts didn't make the cut simply because there is a limit, so I included the ones that delivered the most features from above, and if you search my tags by the series' titles, other posts regarding the show's colors should be able to be found.
The goods are below the cut 👇🏿
A quick overview of what I do and what the colors mean
Key:
Color Coding shows the main colors associated with the characters <- most of you are here for these
Barriers examine the physical barriers that separate characters in a scene and what they represent (emotions, miscommunication, etc.)
The Clothing Tells the Plot looks at a specific clothing item in a scene
Background Noise includes various elements like barriers, clothing telling the plot, lighting showing feelings, and general details for the show
Episode Reviews cover all of the above for each episode plus my unhinged ramblings

Notes:
If a link doesn't work or goes to the wrong post, let me know
If you have an ask or a request, feel free to send me a message, but be warned that I really don't shut the fuck up about colors, so you could get a ten-page report back in response
If you write a post about colors, lighting, barriers, clothing, or other visuals, feel free to tag me
I'll update this post at the end of each month depending on what discoveries I've made during that month (Updated: 4/15)
Now that you know who I am, remember that a world without colors is a world devoid of emotions and feelings, so embrace the magic and follow me down this chaotic path of visual rhetoric.

I feel like I blinked and Lost to Light is already halfway done, but then again, it's only five episodes long and two of the color-coded group members are already sleeping together, so what else does this boy band fanfic need to do?
Well, according to the two mommy granny fans they have, they actually need to prove they have what it takes to be a boy band.
They are working hard on their dance moves (in a Despicable Me shirt).
And they're working late because they're singers.
They are also (still) writing their single about bitter melon. Well, Red Rascal Jeng is with the help of Black Brooder Mai, but Blue Boy Cutter is too busy trying to declare his love for Purple Person Yu, yet somehow Yu is missing all the obvious flirting.
But Yellow Yal Fong isn't! He has his shipper glasses on and locked in.
Not only is he captain of the Yu and Cutter ship, he is also doing whatever is needed to make sure his other ship sails.
Much like the other pretty boy Yu, cutie Jeng is oblivious to the way Mai looks at him and doesn't even notice that Mai is already wearing his red color.
And Mai doesn't just wear it once, but TWICE, so the lively and cheerful Fong must take matters into his own hands to make magic happen by lying to the rest of the crew.
He tells the Pretty Purple Person that an emergency is happening nearby, so he immediately runs off to help while his loyal Blue Boy quickly follows.
This gives Black Brooder Mai the perfect opportunity to accompany Jeng ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (!!!) and flirt with him about his nifty bag that changes designs through an app, like this oh-so-convenient heart that Mai asked about.
Luckily, Fong's hard work seems to be working the next day when the boys have to pick out color-coded outfits for their upcoming shoot.
Because of the time Jeng spent with Mai on public transportation thanks to Fong's scheming ways, he is seeing Mai in a new light.
🎶The Blinding Light of Love🎶
Yu also walks out in an all blue outfit which shocks Cutter, so all is looking well for both of Fong's ships.
Or at least it was until their manager starts arguing about clothes in the store loud enough to draw a crowd of people more than willing to post the video of the fight on their social media with the boys noticeably in the background.
The boys make a quick exit and separate, meaning they go off in their respective pairs to flirt with each other some more in photo booths.
Which is the perfect segue to show just how badly Boss messed up in his relationship with Bai-Liu.
In the past, Boss was so afraid his classmates would find out he was dating Bai-Liu that it ruined even their happiest moments.
As soon as they walked out of the booth, their classmate (and the director, Tonnam!) spotted them, yet Boss made Bai-Liu lie to him about what they were doing there.
Then years later, instead of giving Bai-Liu an actual gift for his birthday, he offered himself as the present.
Like . . . the sex is undeniably good, but can his goofy ass fight because how does he not realize he fumbled a baddie?!
Boss can't even figure out how to reduce the fallout from the viral video of the managers arguing. Surely, this man cannot fight!
Yet even after all this time, Bai-Liu is still helping out Boss by making sure the boys aren't negatively impacted by the viral video of the managers arguing by taking partial blame for the incident. The other half of the blame goes to the *check notes* spirits.
Bai-Liu also makes sure the boys get properly marketed and supported by sending a food truck to their studio. The kids are happy and fed, and so are the fans since Yu and Cutter decide to post a video thanking their their generous fan for the meal.
The video goes viral because Fong isn't the only one with shipper glasses on at all times.
It seems like all of our Yellow Yal's hard work has finally paid off but he knows it's been at the cost of him having a love of his own.
But, thankfully, this BL understands that Boys' Love is PLURAL, and the group decides if shipping is what the fans wants, then it's time to give them what they deserve — an idol and bodyguard romance!
Which means there is just one ship left standing that needs to officially hit the open seas and get to sailing.
Because there are only two episodes left (of this five-episode series), and there is no room for "just friends" in this BL boy band.

May we be like the other 60+ countries who have gained freedom by defeating the English. May we all be that abuela blessing the Mexican National Team today. [x]
Based on how messed up in the head he is as well and how kinda frustrated he was that night (ready to get into a fight with 4? armed guys!) + whatever happened to his mom, I assume it might be self inflicted or happened during something fucked up he wanted to compensate somehow.
But I would "love" if it is self inflicted because the fact that Sun hurt him there did something to him. I already loved that kind of irony in The Bangkok Boy. When Peace wanted to jump from the bridge but Sun (same name lol) talked him out of it, then they fell to the sidewalk and Peace injurer his hand which really hurt him... Sun then helped him cool the pain down with ice etc.
The absolute irony of stopping a suicide attempt and then be shook about a moment of pain that is less painful than what the suicide would have been like but is also pain that gives them a wake up call back to life. idk I think there is a saying that if you really want to die you don't care about the pain anymore. And that if you still can feel pain, that you are still alife, still feeling, still want to live deep down. (among reasons why people selfharm. therapists advice: try to find something that doesn't injure but still shocks the body temporarily.... like spicy / sour food, cold shower, rubber band snapping etc)
Sun's brother and mother died five years ago, and so did Jay's mom (April 28, 2021), so these two met at the worst time of their lives.
So I agree with @scarefox because we see that Sun was numb to everything, so it follows that Jay would be too. Sun only experiences pain, so I think Jay is just like him and if he wanted to feel something, it was pain which is why he was trying to fight the four men (perhaps as a way for someone else to kill him after his own fatal suicide behavior?). Yet Sun intervened, they had sex, Sun cried throughout it because he finally felt something besides numb, and although Jay seemed unbothered by the tears since he kept having sex, Sun's tears did do something to him. Jay even went as far as to comfort Sun while he was holding him when, up to that point, he had no reaction.
Which is why I think he was so obsessed with finding the bunny because the bunny brought him back to life, and made he want to fight back against whatever injustice he (and his mother) experienced. In my mind, he was suicidal believing there was no hope prior to the bunny asking him if he believed in karma. Even if his arm injury wasn't a direct attempt, him wanting to fight four men in the street is a clear indicator that Jay didn't care about living through it, so I think his arm injury is indirectly linked to that behavior. And that's also why I think that now that Jay knows Sun is the bunny that made him feel something again, he'll be worse than a Chinese BL lead.
The arm injury might just be the elephant in the room of a man who doesn't seem to sleep or make connections with others (which is why Jo is very concerned about him).
