need to find a fic

alright so I know my blog is a little dead but I have genuinely tried my very best and can’t find it so

I’m trying to find a Star Trek fic because there was a scene in it where the main character chucked a plate at the bridge crew and I really wanna reread that scene. It was hilarious and delightful. If you can find it I’d desperately love a message or a reblog with like the name of the fic or something

I have the following to work with:

-pretty sure it’s on AO3

-TOS or AOS (specifics weren’t terribly relevant afaik)

-main character is like a reader- or self-insert

-sort of Stranger Things inspired? I don’t know stranger things so I’m just guessing here

-main character was from the real world, in college (Harvard? I think?), fell through a portal into Trek world

-escapes from a lab/is rescued by the Enterprise (where the scene im looking to read happens)

-has spooky telekinetic stuff and there’s another portal they have to close or something

-there’s a romance with Bones and maybe they go to the Academy? They definitely had to talk to the admiralty or something

-it’s at least a year old, maybe a couple of years

I’m gonna tag everything I can think of in the hopes someone who remembers this fic can help me out.

Today my art history professor gave some words of wisdom:

Nude is when your clothes are off. Naked is when your clothes are off and you’re up to something

i really love safety quizzes that are like.. "When handling hazardous chemicals, what should you do? a) Run around and skip and pour it on pedestrians b) Drink it all immediately c) Use the correct handling procedure d) All of the above"

ok non-dancer folk, i’m curious, which of the four standard ballet tutu types is your favorite?

the pancake tutu

as seen in sleeping beauty (pink) and swan lake (white)

also known as a platter tutu, the pancake is probably what you think of when you hear the word ”tutu”. it’s made of 8-16 tulle layers increasing in length from bottom to top, kept stiff with starch, stitching, and sometimes a thin wire hoop sewn in between the layers.

the romantic tutu

as seen in giselle (light blue) and chopiniana (white)

the romantic tutu is the oldest tutu style, worn as early as the late 1700s, and popularized by marie taglioni (1804-84) in 1829. it’s made of lighter tulle layers reaching to as high as just below the knee, and as low as to the ankle.

the bell tutu

as seen in the awakening of flora (four dancers) and paquita (blue)

the bell tutu is a less common variation of the pancake tutu. it uses dozens of layers of tulle without a hoop to get a fuller, lighter look when in movement. it’s more expensive and difficult to make, but completely worth the effort.

the powder-puff tutu

as seen in jewels (white), and stars and stripes (red)

the powder-puff tutu, also known as the american style tutu, was favored by american choreographer george balanchine (1904-83). it’s made of short layers of tulle that aren’t sewn together or hooped, to achieve a less structured look.

thanks for coming to my ted talk :) i’m curious which y’all prefer

Look how they massacred my boy!

His posture we can maaayyyybe put down to “he’s sherlock holmes, he wasn’t gonna do it right” but here’s what gets me

In this scene he was handed sheet music he’s meant to be playing

The music that plays matches neither his fingers nor the sheet music he’s meant to be playing (which is…a trio? kind of? but not really so idk? but the notes he plays aren’t anywhere on the sheet so whatever it is, this ain’t it). Like, at least match one or the other, right?
