informed consent is sexy.
that’s why we think transparency is so important. we want you to know who we are and what we’re about, so it’s easier to make a conscious choice about co-creating unabashed with us.

Whimsy (pronoun agnostic)
Whimsy (pronoun agnostic), is not entirely unlike an intelligent shade of the colour blue. A freak with the sheets, they have an ability to turn anything into a spreadsheet. It is whimsy’s organizational skills that keeps the dungeon crew running. He rejects labels and boxes, instead preferring to just be whimsy. You will often find her coloring and starting (but never finishing) various craft projects. It loves stuffies, sharps, and the smell of sawdust and leather, and will always be willing to indulge in discussing these shared interests. Adored by zir partners and friends, whimsy’s heart is as big as his massive boot collection.
Whimsy assists Miss Alex with all their dungeon needs and will be one of the Discord Server Bosses.
Z (kin/they)
one of the magical things queerness has taught Z is that kin is an aspiring non-Euclidian mass of tentacles and book knowledge on a tiny blue dot hurtling through a universe whose expansiveness kin can't even begin to imagine. to them, this means everything is full of possibility - and they're expanding their idea of what's possible every single day. kin is also a Black queer touch enthusiast and justice and equity advocate centering liberation and healing through relationships with ourselves, other humans, and the more-than-human world. over half a decade into their journey in the wonderful world of kink (and still starry-eyed about it all), they bring communications skills, a touch of tech wizardry, and educational roots in transformative justice, Black liberation, and emergence to the unabashed team.
Z will be one of Discord Server Boses this year.
