Silly goofy Quixis headcannons cause I feel a lot normal about the rainbow lad:
• Infinite-lingual, an advantage to being a mulitversal being, you naturally know *a lot* of languages
• Agender and Pan (I could also see them being on the Aroace spectrum?)
• They/Them, but in a, the multiverse is so big that gender is just irrelevant, type of way
• You would never see them sitting normally in a chair. If they had to, they would still at least have their legs crossed
• Oddly is really good with things like finger crochet, braiding, pen spinning, they're good with their hands
• Does not get cold easily
• Would often let the intrusive thoughts win (only if it didn't hurt people though)
• "It sparkles and shimmers and shines in delights! I must have it for my nesstttt" /ref
• not a light-weight drinker
• The cool Pibling that let's you have a sip of their drink when your parents aren't looking
• Cat energy/ behaviour
• Sometimes forgets about personal space
• When needed, has a good poker face
• "Watch your tone! I'm sensitive... and will cry!" /ref

Hi and sorry I spam you with unnecessary asks all the time!
My actual question this time is about Manner of Death and if there is anything about the show that you picked up on, such as its colours or cinematography.
Cheers,
A most unobservant viewer
@sliceduplife -
You catch shared locations in your side hustle, so you are VERY observant!
I love you tagging me, asking me questions, and sharing your delight about random tidbits! It's not spam; it's my love language.
Don't ever apologize to me, especially for a MaxTul related question.
You already know I stay on my bullshit, so this is going to be a lengthy response.
Manner of Death? Colors!
I'm going to be honest, when it comes to a MaxTul show, I focus on other elements.
Their shows have so many other distractions.
My brain, watching a MaxTul show, while I'm trying to examine the colors:
But my brain is a powerful weapon, so even when I'm drowning in MaxTul's chemistry, I still notice the other aspects I love:
Colors
Bun and Tan are color-colored boys in love. The poster tells us.
Dr. Bun is a Blue Boy (stable, sincere, intelligent).
Tan is a Black Brooder (protective, mysterious, arrogant).
Then, we have the mini Bun and Tan - Sorn and That. Sorn is a Blue Boy and That is a Black Brooder. Even their bikes matched their colors.
Tan and Bun did wear other colors (dark greens, browns and some reddish browns as neutrals), but stuck well to their colors (pictures throughout). Even in the cameo on Triage, they were color-coded.
When Bun moved into Tan's house, Tan quickly picked up Bun's blue.
And they switched them often.
Tan sent his Black Brooder mini, That, to protect Bun. We see That had already fallen for Sorn from his blue clothing choice. That wore blue a lot after Sorn helped him.
When Tan proposed to Bun, he wore blue while his kidnapping squad wore black (picture is later), and in the end, they were both together in white (marriage!).
Barriers
Lighting was used often for showing secrets (darkness) and honesty (light), and barriers were also used in a similar way.
When Bun kissed Tan in the club, he was drunk; however, BOTH of them remembered the kiss and the light spotlighting them in a dark space showcases that. Between Us did something similar with Win and Team during their first kiss and continued it throughout the show.
While subtly discussing the kiss, a barrier formed between them because both were talking around the kiss rather than directly stating they remembered it. However, Tan was tip-toeing the line and continued to get closer to Bun with each statement he made.
After that, the barriers between them always popped up when Bun was suspicious of Tan (notice the blues and blacks):
BUT (and this is what I find interesting about the two directors), the camera moves often in this show. Instead of staying still during a shot, the camera slowly moved (panned), so the barriers between them dissolved. Normally, if a camera moves (pans), barriers EMERGE not disappear.
This happened with That and Sorn as well. (I wish I had time for GIFs!)
But Manner of Death showed that although Tan and That were being secretive, it was not a barrier. Even when the barriers didn't disappear (into the Blue Boy), the Blue Boy crossed it or forced the other to cross it. Bun and Sorn truly trusted their mysterious mafia boyfriends even when they didn't have a good reason to! That's the loyalty of a Blue Boy boyfriend.
Each time Bun tried to learn a little more about Tan, they had a tree (life) cut between them.
But in the end, they joined together (Tan in blue and Bun in gray) in front of a tree to commit their lives to each other.
Although the barriers between the boys disappeared or they crossed them, the places the camera stayed still and the barriers stuck were telling to the plot.
If Rung was there, so was a barrier. When she spoke to her sister, there was usually a barrier. Also, when Inspector M told Bun he was dropping the case, a static barrier appeared.
Random
Tan is shown several times in the first episodes (before the reveal of who his family is and why they treat him the way they do) looking up to a person or at the bottom of stairs while the the other person is higher.
Bun had to borrow clothes from Dr. Oat, and the shirt he had to wear says "Single, Please Flirt" which is why all the women were smiling at him and giving him their numbers.
I could write all day about this show, but I have a picture limit, so know that cinematographer Kuea Napon Tippanya earned that paycheck. Also note that Kuea will be the cinematographer for the upcoming Tonnam and Title series Wish You Luck.
Wish You Luck's teaser had several outdoor shots, so if you liked the outdoor and exterior shots in Manner of Death, which I personally thought were well done, I think Kuea will do the beauty of Thailand justice. Kuea's other shows also focused heavily on the environment being incorporated into the narrative, so I'm tuning in to Wish You Luck not just for the leads, but for the cinematography and the landscapes.
And because I can never not ask these questions - WHERE ARE MY MURDER MYSTERY HUSBANDS?! WHERE IS TRANSPLANT? WHEN WILL I SEE THEM AGAIN?!
WHEN?!
