Themeless #8

Hello, here is another puzzle! I want to get better at making themeless puzzles, but the only way to actually do that is to keep making them?? What a bunch of shit! Well, please enjoy this offering. To be honest I think it is okay! I am going to try to keep making puzzles because the alternative is to be alone with my thoughts, and who wants that?? Thanks Quiara for the test!

Hello again! As punishment for obliquely referring to my puzzles as "art" in the last post, I've decided that every stupid idea I have is going to become a crossword. That'll teach me!!

Hello! I am writing this a few days after getting back from Westwords , which was so much fun! Serious thanks to the tournament directors, volunteers, and constructors for creating an incredible experience. I'm so glad I decided to make the trip out west. Babka was sad to miss it but happy that he has a new water dish. I made this puzzle to bring to Westwords - for some reason I thought it was a good idea to make an NYC shitpost puzzle to hand out? I honestly don't remember why. Norah tested this! Please make sure to watch the linked video for other unused theme ideas. [ .puz ] [ Direct Crosshare link ]
