Close to Your Heart is a Just Shapes & Beats fan webcomic series made by Afrothunder678.Legend tells of a powerful artifact guarded in a temple by 4 knights of rhythm and light, who protect the artifact's main guardian. Cuda seeks to steal the artifact to gain the power to rule the world, but his rival Blixer beats him to it. Complicating matters further is that the legend is not all it's cracked up to be, and Blixer ends up taking the guardian, named Cube, along with the artifact.As Cube learns about the outside world and Blixer conspires how to obtain the power of the artifact, the improbable happens as they develop a bond. But Cuda prepares a comeback, and the knights are determined to get their friend and the artifact back home. Hilarity ensues, as well as romance, lots of butt-kicking action and more.The comic (as well as its mini-comics) can be read on Afrothunder's website here. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Blixer's Intervention" is about the characters; Cube, Lycan, the knights and even Cuda (plus Rave), holding a meeting for Blixer as an intervention for his dorito-eating addiction. It's played out with them confessing that they feel Blixer's changed because of it and urging him to stop. He says he shall, and remains sober for 3 hours before relapsing. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: "Blixer's Intervention" features the debut of Rave, Cuda's younger brother. Blixer points out that this is his first appearance in a mini-comic. Additionally, the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue also entails how the artist is at the time of the mini-comic, she continues making the main series since she now has a external drive. Everyone in "Cube Force" mentions their awareness of being in an AU mini-comic (because why else would Blixer be a freaking cat?) and what they do and don't do in the main story. Cube also mentions wanting to "use all of our anime references." | |

Hollywood Tone-Deaf: In "Lycan Wants To Be a Princess", Lycan wears a princess getup while Cuda controls a snake to rise as Lycan sings. However, his singing voice is so horrible that it makes Blixer and Cuda shudder. Lycan figures singing to be too hard anyway and gives up being a princess. | |

Electric Torture: Cuda has the four knights caught in his mechanical snakes. Cyan breaks free to strike him, but Cuda has him caught again, and makes his snakes electrocute him. Even Cuda wishes he didn't have to resort to such measures and is evidently shocked when he potentially kills Cyan by doing so. | |

Shipper on Deck: Lycan has a tendency of teasing Blixer towards intimacy with Cube, and watches in awe when they're together. As it turns out, he's been wanting Blixer to find a mate for ages, and is ecstatic when he finally realises his feelings for Cube. He even drew fanart of what their children would look like! | |

Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_35e2fb78 | comment |
The Mirror Shows Your True Self: In "Meet George the Minion", George gets uneasy every time he looks in a mirror for too long. Looking at it long enough makes George remember what he used to look like - a blue humanoid flower with a face instead of a pink, Floating Limbs creature with only eyes as facial features. The text changes from black to light blue along with the POV shift. Once George has snapped out of his identity crisis, he decides Ignorance Is Bliss and avoids mirrors. | |

Sad Clown: Cider is the jokester of the knights, but once they all confess that their duty as eternal knights is getting to them, he reveals that his (bad) jokes were his coping mechanism. As they disperse, he says that he's off to go cry in a bush (only to realise that he doesn't have eyes to cry with). | |

Blatant Lies: When Cube asks if the triangular object on her captor's fridge is the artifact, Blixer gives a delayed and drawn-out "Nooooo." Lycan explains that Blixer thought Cube couldn't reach it if it was somewhere high up. A flashback sequence shows Cyan harboring feelings of uncertainty and low self-esteem regarding his duty as a knight, but he keeps saying that nothing is wrong to the other knights, who are aware that he's hiding something. | |

Black Comedy Rape: In the past, when the artifact suddenly produces Cube out of nowhere, the knights are confused as to how that happened. Cider asks Cyan if he impregnated the artifact, with his suggested reasoning being that Cyan often spends his alone time with it. The other knights beat up Cider over the crude joke. | |

The Power of Love: Implied. Cube uses the energy from Blixer's heart to heal her and the artifact after both were damaged by Blixer taking a bite out of it. All it takes is for her to hug Blixer and tell him to open his heart to her. After Blixer's sincere apology, the part of her head that went missing after the bite is restored. | |

Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_71748a39 | comment |
Named by the Adaptation: The game lacks official names for the characters, while this fan comic gives them names. The four player shapes from the game's multiplayer mode are this comic's ensemble of knights, and the protagonist's blue square friend is now the guardian the knights protect. The light blue square is Cyan, the orange circle is Cider, the green pentagon is Shamrock, the yellow triangle is Flax, and the square friend is Cube. The closest to an official name the game gives is "The Boss" for the main villain via filename. Here, although Lycan calls him Boss, his name is Blixer. Lycan himself is the corrupted flower from the "Lycanthropy" boss battle. The game's triangle enemy has a more major role in this comic and is named Cuda, after his boss level's song "Barracuda". | |

Lecherous Licking | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_73731600 | comment |
Lecherous Licking: Blixer licks the artifact after successfully obtaining it, and Cube is highly grossed out because the artifact is her life force and thus she can feel what it feels. Only after learning that does Blixer realise how awkward that was. | |

Curse Cut Short | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_78270847 | comment |
Curse Cut Short: A visual example. In "Lycan Can't Sleep", Cuda scribbles on a sleeping Blixer's face. Some half-visible words on the side of his head say "Dor- Bit-", which in full is probably "Dorito Bitch". | |

Big Entrance: In contrast to Cuda who is sneaking towards the temple, Blixer makes his presence known by blaring into a horn. Cuda takes him out after the knights are alerted, and then Lycan suggests that they should have came up with a plan to beat Cuda rather than make an awesome introduction. Blixer scoffs it off, stating that "presentation is the key". | |

Feigning Intelligence: In "Blixer and Lycan Get New Jobs", Blixer and Lycan try to get hired by appearing in formal attire to a town local and using office work terms, such as "liquidate salaries," "coordinate predecessors," and "distribute profitability" to seem smarter. It just ends up confusing Sam the fruit seller, who offers them labour work instead, which relieves Blixer. | |

Floating Limbs: Blixer's minions have a stack of floating pink spiked circles making up each of their bodies. The mini-comics imply that this wasn't always the case.

Insecure Protagonist, Arrogant Antagonist: The leader of the knights, Cyan, is hiding insecurities about his duty and whether he's truly up for the task of protecting the artifact. Cyan finds out his fellow knights are also coping to conceal their doubtful thoughts. The bad guys who wish to steal it from the knights are of varying egoism; Cuda can back up his badass boasts, while that's less of the case for Blixer, who's more pompous and impulsive. | |

Small, Secluded World: Played with. There used to be folks who visited the temple, but everyone migrated over time, so the knights were appointed to protect the artifact there for eternity. They've been isolated from outside contact for a long time as the temple is surrounded by forest. Coming across a hostile band of shapes once says to them that the world has changed with time and they must protect Cube and the artifact at all costs, even if that meant to stop telling stories of their past to Cube to try snuff out her curiosity. | |

Real Men Hate Affection: Lycan tries to get Blixer to find a lover, but he doesn't want to because he thinks being in love makes others weaker and relationships restrict them to only do things with the other's approval, which he sees as a threat to his masculinity. On top of that, he just finds it gross and only fangirls enjoy that kind of mush. Lycan says that not all relationships are like that, but Blixer replies, "Agree to disagree." In the main comic, however, the real reason Blixer is so evasive of love is that he fears his lover will see him as a lost cause and abandon him like his previous loved ones did. | |

Humongous Mecha | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_e6f18344 | comment |
Humongous Mecha: The boat and the helicopter from the original game are giant mechs instead. The boat has arm cannons and the helicopter can summon two swords. When combined together with the help of the knights, they become an even bigger and more powerful mech to contend with. | |

Tactical Withdrawal | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_e8aa2b1d | comment |
Tactical Withdrawal: Lycan suggests going after Cuda after the other minions can reform since it'd be tough for him to handle them and the knights at once, but Blixer instead tells him to retreat with the others. He explains that Cuda would be discouraged to proceed if he thinks they've turned back, so it'd be easier for Blixer to sneak into the temple to steal the artifact. | |

Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_e8b0f099 | comment |
Dark Is Evil: The two who seek to steal the artifact are primarily black and pink, and Cuda's moving base is a completely black pyramid-shaped machine, which contrasts the white temple in the scenery. | |

Disney Creatures of the Farce | |
Close to Your Heart (Webcomic) / int_e9fadcba | comment |
Disney Creatures of the Farce: Played with. What Lycan finds most admirable about fairytale princesses is how animals come and dance whenever they sing. After Blixer asks for Cuda's favor to help make Lycan's dream come true, Lycan (in a dress) sings while Cuda controls his snake to rise. Not only is he tone-deaf, Lycan exhausts himself singing that he gives up at being a princess and leaves in a huff. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: After Cyan tells Flax that he's been insecure since they were appointed as knights to protect the artifact for all time, Flax admits that the eternity aspect of their duty has been getting to him too, and that he copes by focusing on his friends' well being. Cider and Shamrock have also been coping with being immortal knights in their own ways. | |

Take Over the World: Cuda intends to use the artifact's power to become the most powerful ruler in all of the land, with further ambitions of being the new world order. Blixer and Lycan have the same goal to rule the world after getting the artifact's power, although for them it's to shape the world into their own image, and so that no one could boss them around ever again. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: In "Knight's Career Day", Cyan asks the kids what it takes to be a knight. Among the answers are "bravery," "fashion,", "a sword," and "big booty b*tches." Cyan exclaims "Excuse me what?!?!" and the last kid backtracks and says "great power!" | |

Heroic Self-Deprecation: Cyan has been questioning why he was chosen to protect the artifact when he sees himself as an incapable worthless shape. Flax helps him see his good qualities again once he finally opens up, and it's revealed that the other knights have been coping with their own doubts about their duty to conceal the fact. | |

Speech-Bubbles Interruption: When Cuda questions the captured knights of the artifact's whereabouts, Cyan is perplexed that Cube is missing, while Cider yells over him that they will never tell, his orange speech bubble overlaying Cyan's blue one. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Blixer tries to command Cube to give him the artifact by saying he would pummel her otherwise, but she still refuses. After a pause, Blixer facepalms and exclaims that this would be so much easier if the guardian was a guy. Since he won't leave without the artifact either way, he resorts to kidnapping her along with it. | |

Macguffin Delivery Service: While Cuda takes around 8 years to locate the artifact, Blixer follows him right to it and beats him at stealing it. Reasonably, this angers Cuda to no end. | |

Pet the Dog: "Lycan Can't Sleep" has Lycan asking for Cuda's help to get Lycan to sleep because Blixer knocked himself out trying. Cuda dries him from the rain, reads him a book to sleep, and even carries him back to his bed in Blixer's base. This mini-comic also reveals that Cuda has a younger brother named Rave who he keeps unaware of his world-dominating endeavours while still loving him dearly, promising that he'll return home someday. | |

Flowers of Romance: Lycan tells Blixer to get a rare glowing white flower from the top of a mountain to confess his feelings to Cube since he doesn't want to do so directly. He constantly questions himself as to whether she wants anything to do with him during the trip, but he makes it to the top. However, Cuda shows up to plant seeds of doubt in Blixer, resulting in him stepping on the flower instead of taking it. | |
