alessandra blackwood | 36 | archeology professor at moorbrooke university | single chaotic bisexual

[alessblckwood]

ALESSANDRA BLACKWOOD ( SHE/HER ) is a CISFEMALE, THIRTY-SIX year old ARCHAEOLOGY PROFESSOR who has been living in Moorbrooke for THIRTY-SIX YEARS (ON AND OFF). They were born on JUNE 7TH and right now, they are currently residing in REDGRAVE GROVE. It has been said that they look suspiciously like ADELAIDE KANE and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose SOME NIGHTS by FUN. 

.& biography

the daughter of a woman who (to put it nicely) was strict and overbearing to a fold, alessandra had plenty of expectations put on her despite her older brother theo’s best efforts at taking the brunt of it. often times her mother would force her to play the piano for hours at a time until she got the piece in question right, one can only imagine what her expectations were when it came to the young girl’s grades.

aless marched along to the demands and expectations her mother set for her…at least for the most part anyways. in high school she managed to sneak out in order to hang out with her friends and actually have fun, going to games that her mother told her she couldn’t go to, yet somehow managed to keep her grades up. as long as she kept her grades up, and practiced her music, her mother for the most part left her alone.

to appease her mother she went to college to pursue music, and even scored a music scholarship, but whilst living in the dorms she started to realize what she really wanted. she changed her degree to archeology, which ticked off her mother to no end. for the first time she actually thought for herself.

worked her way through the necessary avenues to become a professor of archaeology whilst she worked on digs, interning at a museum for a couple of years in cairo, egypt.

missed home too much so she decided to move back home permanently and work as an archeology professor at moorbrooke university. she’s able to teach something she loves, whilst being close to her brother, brother-in-law and kids.

she’s definitely inspired by evie carnahan from the first 2 mummy films and indiana jones (with a smidge of lara croft tbh), elizabeth bennet from pride, prejudice and zombies, and alec hardison from leverage.

“It was a fairly good code though,” he told her with a smile. “It’s not like either of them managed to figure it out.” He began the drive to the park he wanted to take her to. It was perfect for a ‘get to know each other’ type of outing. He knew that perhaps he was overthinking things, but he really wanted this woman to enjoy the time they spent together and he really wanted her to want to do it over and over again. “I’m sure you’re right, I mean—they’d have probably stopped us if either of them figured anything out.” He was almost sure of this since he’d been out with Stephanie before when they ran into some nice people but Stephanie was almost always acting like his conscience which worked for Avinash seeing as he’d never wanted to get involved in something that wasn’t going to be good for him. But hearing her words about hoping that it was true with him specifically had him smiling widely at her. This was probably the best time to tell her about his daughter but Avinash wanted to wait it out, he wanted them to be able to be face to face when he told her. It wasn’t so much about springing her on the other woman, but he didn’t want to be stringing her along in case his having a child was too much for her. “You’re saying all the right things Eleanor…It’s making it hard to stick to the plans I made for us this afternoon.” Spontaneous plans of course, but sometimes those were the best ones.

“It most certainly was, I was impressed by your quick thinking there love,” She smirked, eyes flitting back to Avinash. She was thankful that the other couple hadn’t seemed to catch on at all, or at least Eleanor didn’t think they had. She wanted to get to know the handsome man driving them before her friend had a chance to butt in and get involved in whatever it is that they’d become. El wanted it to be natural, just like their coded conversation had been in front of their friends. “And I can guarantee that Steph would’ve made it very obvious if she’d noticed, even though she would’ve been ecstatic that we found each other before she seemingly tried to set us up.” She laughed softly. Eleanor wasn’t sure how it would’ve turned out if her friend had tried to set her up with Avinash, instead of El meeting him on her own. But chemistry between the two told her that either way something would’ve happened...they just might not have slept together right away like they had when they first met. Which wouldn’t have changed anything, but it seemed to break the ice for them a lot better than most things she’d tried. El glanced back at Avinash with a grin. “I am, hmm? Well I’m happy to hear I haven’t lost my touch yet. But if you want me to I can try and cut back a little...but around you I can make no promises.”

“Well hopefully one day soon we have the chance to test this out. I would love to see how different it could go.” And this was the truth. He loved that vibe of flirtyness that they were both playing straight into, but he knew that had they been alone, it certainly would’ve gone further than that. He didn’t miss the way Eleanor turned to face him while he had to unfortunately keep facing forward while he drove before he heard her words and chuckled. “I’m glad to know you’re this eager for it,” he told her with a bright smile before he nodded and gently took her hand, driving with one hand now. “I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind either since that night. I–running into you like this Eleanor, it feels like fate and I’m not even sure I believe in that stuff but with you, somehow it feels easy enough.” He was so glad she’d been as into him as he was or else he really would’ve made a complete fool of himself.

“I’d like that a lot. Then we wouldn’t have to talk in the code we were using at brunch.” She laughed. They’d done pretty well from what Eleanor could tell, and she liked to think she was good at reading people. Course she was almost positive if Stephanie suspected anything El would be getting an inquisitive text or call later. One of which the woman would not pick up now that she had Avinash to herself. “Quite eager, hopefully you’re the only who’s picked up on that.” Eleanor smirked, her eyes moving to their entwined hands, a sight that only brightened the smirk on her lips. His words made her blush, memories of that night flooding her mind once again. Only this time she didn’t do too much to push them away. “Well I’m awfully happy to hear that its mutual. I don’t know if its fate, but I’ve always believed if two people are meant to see each other again they will. Or maybe I was just really hoping it was true with you.”

Avinash honestly loved hearing those words from her because that’s how he’d felt as well. Their night together was amazing and now to get to spend some time with her alone–it was a good feeling. “I almost wish we were alone at that table, it makes me wonder just what you’ll end up doing,” he chuckled softly, loving that they’d somehow passed the entire awkward first meeting phase thanks to how they’d met a couple nights ago. By the time they were both in the car and he was well on his way out of the parking lot, he heard her words and had to give her a quick glance, the smirk on his face telling her what she probably wanted to know. “I’m glad you said that, because I uh–definitely think it’s something that can happen again soon.” He enjoyed the fact that she was so willing to be open and honest in what she wanted because that was normally what was harder for Avinash but he hoped with El, he could get there as well.

The regret that she’d felt when she had to leave stll remained, but it wasn’t as strong anymore, not when she was finally getting her second chance with Avinash. “Well I guess we’ll have to see sometime, hmm? Cause if we were alone it would definitely go a little differently at least.” She smirked. It was true, if they’d been alone she would’ve been much more flirty both verbally and most likely physically. She couldn’t help herself, not around him. Seated in the passengers seat, Eleanor turned slightly so she faced him a little more. Her eyes roamed over his face, just as handsome as it had been in the dimmer lights from a few nights ago, maybe even more so. “Soon? I certainly hope so, because I would love that so much. I haven’t quite been able to get that night out of my head.” It’d surprised her, how that one night kept replaying in her mind ever since. Normally she would forget something like that, but Avinash was something else. “Or you for that matter,”

Would he ever be so brazen with someone he’d just met? Probably not…but with Eleanor, they’d spent some more intimate moments together so maybe he just felt like that gave him the familiarity he needed for something like this. But it was a thrilling feeling when he caught the look on her face and realized they were both doing this while there were other people at their table. But he didn’t care this time; for once Avinash wanted to have a little fun and Eleanor seemed like the perfect person to do that with. By the time they were done with the brunch, he was already jogging to catch up with her as he asked her to spend the day together. “Wow, you’d cancel plans to be with me, I feel rather lucky.” And he wasn’t joking about that at all. But he realized she was equally serious when she interlocked their fingers and spoke about having her full attention. “I couldn’t not…I mean you were playing footsie with me after all,” he told her with a smile before he lead her towards his car.

“Well you certainly are worth it. If that night of ours is any indication. Plus, I really do want to get to know you now that I can get you alone. I didn’t get the chance to before.” And she meant every word of it. Avinash made her feel warm, happy, things she hadn’t felt in awhile with someone she only knew intimately. But it kept her wanting to know more. His words made her blush, but her grin never left her face. “Can ya blame me? I couldn’t resist you a few nights ago, and you were making it awfully hard to resist even with Steph and her husband there. They would’ve suspected something if I’d reached for your hand.” She hummed honestly. Eleanor let him lead her along, her eyes possibly roaming over him. When she was finally seated in the car she looked over at him. “And I was being serious when I said I wouldn’t mind a second chance at a ‘good morning’ sometime. I feel like I really missed out.”

Avinash was quite pleased to see that Eleanor was as pleased with this random spontaneous run in as he was and it went without saying that he was going to be even more eager to spend the rest of this day with her at least. Sure he had his daughter at home, but luckily she was with a friend for a weekend sleepover which meant he would be able to spend proper time with her for however long Eleanor wanted. “I mean—that’s one way to look at it,” he chuckled softly before keeping his eyes on her as she let that foot of hers sneak on up higher. He let his left hand rest on his lap and gently grasped her foot with his fingers, circling around her ankle. “Hmmm—I like that idea, this brunch was definitely one of those unexpected moments.” And it was one of those perfect moments because as soon as the bill was settled which Avinash did as discretely as possible, they were all going their separate ways. Luckily Eleanor and him were parked near the same place which made it easier for him to just make his intentions known. “If you really have nothing going on El, how about you join me for…maybe an afternoon and a lunch?” But Avinash couldn’t just leave it at that, “and maybe then we can see where the day takes us?”

When Eleanor felt his hand wrap around her ankle, it really shouldn’t have sent such a shock through her system. She’d slept with the man for crying out loud, but just the fact that neither of their friends knew what was going on under the table seemed to add to the fact that she was having some sort of contact with him. His words made her smirk as she nodded in agreement. “I couldn’t agree more.” Eleanor was thanking her lucky stars when the brunch came to a close, she could hang out with Stephanie another time. Right now she needed to get some one on one time with Avinash while she could. When they were finally outside and alone she faced him with a more relaxed smile, a smile that very few tended to see. “I have to be honest...even if I did have plans I’d do my absolute best to change them. I’d love to spend the rest of the day with you...” At his follow up she took a step closer, interlocking her fingers with his. “I would love that. I was really hoping you’d ask after brunch, you officially have my full attention until you get sick of me.” She teased with a grin.

WHY AREN’T WE INTERACTING?

recently i’ve noticed that the rpc seems to have trouble interacting with eachother–and i’ve seen a few of these memes go around, but i thought i’d make another!

❓ — i’m unfamiliar with your muse(s). 😟 — you intimidate me a lot. 📂 — you don’t reblog a lot of memes, and i usually interact through memes. 💡 — you don’t post a lot of opens, and i usually interact through opens. ⌚ — i honestly haven’t gotten around to it yet. 💔 — i ship our muses, and i’m worried that’ll upset you. 📜 — i’m a little intimidated by your writing length/style/formatting. 💤 — you followed me first and i’m waiting for you to make the first move. 🗣️ — i don’t have any ideas for plots readily available. ☀️ — i’ve sent memes/messages to you before, but you ignored them.

open to female&nb muses  —  caroline is a model, and your muse is too (or maybe aspires to be?) and their shared agency has put them together as roommates in a hotel for a few days for a photoshoot.

“ hm. you’re… cute. they don’t usually go for cute. ” still wrapped in a towel from her shower, caro circled the other model, blue eyes intense, picking them apart. they were cute, in truth, and she was intrigued. long legs brought her to a standstill in front of them, and she toyed with a strand of blonde hair, pink lips curved in an amused smile. “ what’s your name, again? i can never be bothered to check the email. ”

“Well somone has to be the cute one, they already seem to have picked the beautiful one.” She retorted playfully. Elena couldn’t help that her eyes seemed to wander a bit whenever the blonde came into view. The latina wanted to see what she was dealing with in terms of a roommate. Dark hues finally took the other woman in when she was in front of her, Elena biting down gently on her lower lip before her mind refocused on the blonde’s words. “Elena, and you’re...Caro? If I remember correctly?”
