Happy Lesbian Visibility Day and Happy Birthday to Cassette Beasts!
Cassette Beasts has become my all-time favourite video game ever since I started playing it. As a lesbian, I am also absolutely delighted by the fact that the initial release date of Cassette Beasts coincided with Lesbian Visibility Day on April 26th.
For bonus points, Cassette Beasts features not only LGBTQ+ representation in both the main and supporting cast, but also an actual canon old married lesbian couple in the supporting characters Ianthe and Wilma.
To celebrate both Lesbian Visibility Day and the 1-year anniversary of the release of Cassette Beasts, I made these lesbian pride icons featuring the Cassette Beasts logo as well as Ianthe and Wilma both individually and together.
Feel free to use these icons! If you use these icons, credit is appreciated but not necessary.

Cassette Beasts anniversary snuck up on me so I tried to think of something simple for me to do and I picked this iconic line
I actually love Dorian aslkdjf he's so funny, tragic he was taken from us so fast
ID under the cut
[ID: A digital drawing of a young man shouting with one hand high up and the other clenched. He has black hair styled into a mullet, a pair of slightly broken sunglasses, and another pair of sunglasses hanging on his shirt. He also has on a bright red patterned shirt that's open. He's surrounded by large colorful text that reads "THE SERPENT GOD AWAITS US BABY!" The background depicts a simple blue sky with some sun beams coming in from above.]

anyway you should play cassette beasts. it's pokemon with schmoovement. you get to beat the shit out of landlords and the tumblr sexyman embodiment of imperialism. the equivalent of the pokemon league champion is a middle-aged lesbian who can transform into clockwork godzilla. it's technically an au of a shakespeare play. mothman and the flatwoods monster and the daleks are there. you can pet the dog because he's a party member and has his own social link. and oh god there's so many cheese strats

I knew Cassette Beasts was my favourite videogame of all time when an NPC jumped at me saying "Behold, a man!" and started a battle.
Then I saw his name was Diogenes.
And he threw THIS FELLA at me:
I've been dying of laughter for three minutes

I am not the first person who has said this, but it is indeed surprising that Cassette Beasts does not have a big fandom on Tumblr, given that it has just about everything average Tumblr users want:
A wide variety of creatures whose forms you can collect, so you can transform into them in battle
Multiverse setting, which provides unlimited fanfiction potential
Character creator with pronouns options, including they/them
LGBTQ+ representation, including all the human party members who are bi and can be romanced regardless of the player's gender, a pair of NPCs are an actual canon old married lesbian couple, and an NPC who is canonically non-binary and uses they/them pronouns
Romanceable party members also mean you can form a battle couple with your favourite party member
Racially diverse cast of human characters: There are visibly Black and brown characters in both the main and supporting cast, including the party members
A playable dog character
Anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist messages
You can literally beat up estate agents and their boss
Higher friendship with your companion allows you to fuse your monster forms and makes you stronger in battle
etc. etc.
The only reason I can think of is the fact that Cassette Beasts is an indie game, but Tumblr has a fair amount of indie video game darlings, such as Stardew Valley, Disco Elysium, Undertale, Night in the Woods, etc.
Another reason is that many Pokémon fans are frustratingly reluctant to try or dismissive of monster collecting games that are not Pokémon, even if they complain about the latest Pokémon titles.
So here is your reminder to go play Cassette Beasts if you have not already.

Just saying, if you want a real experience with monster-taming, there are other games besides Palworld.
I'm neutral about Palworld, but I'd rather play a game made with a ton of love and care (like Cassette Beasts).
