"Shape Shenanigans" is a reinterpretation of the game Just Shapes & Beats, as told by Fuji. It tells the story of Blue, Equol, and Tristan, the three heroes of Paradise, and Bass, a fallen hero who now repents for her actions as a villain, after the events of the game.

This blog provides examples of:
- Composite Character: Bass is a combination of the fourth player character- the orange circle- and the game's Big Bad. She has served both the role of a hero and a villain throughout her life.
- Eye Scream: Equol had eir eye gouged out by Bass- the way eyes heal in this universe made em simply look like a Cyclops, concealing this until it was revealed, but to this day Equol remains understandably terrified of Bass.
- Fallen Hero: Bass. She was once a hero who protected the Tree, but being banished by it after her corruption embittered her. She's trying to rise back up, though.
- Moment of Weakness:
- Tristan had an intense one after Blue admitted to having accidentally driven Bass to mania. He lost his temper at Blue so much that, to this day, they're terrified of him.
- He goes on to have another during the blog proper, when his fear of Bass takes over and he threatens her life. Ultimately, though, he's unable to go through with it.
- Named by the Adaptation: Only natural for a Just Shapes & Beats universe, given the original game is a Nameless Narrative. So far, we've met the four players (and the antagonist simultaneously with one of them), Blue, Equol, Tristan, and Bass; the friends, Cube, Pilot, and Captain; and one of the other bosses, Lycan.
- The Atoner: Bass. She's incredibly regretful for harming her family and the world, and is willing to do anything it takes to make it up to everyone.
