Hey, it's this blog's first themed puzzle. Disclaimer: Since I do try to get these published in actual venues, the themed puzzles on this site are going to be wonky in a way the themelesses aren't. E.g., this puzzle wouldn't fly in mainstream outlets for a million different reasons (irregular puzzle size, intractable references to deeply problematic people, clues and entries that fail the breakfast test, a Homestuck reference) ... yet here we are. Another month of this caliber of Q.V. B.S. and you will be begging for some good old fashioned gatekeeping.
Huge "dubs in the chat," so to speak, to Ryan Fitzgerald for test-solving this in real time at 3 in the morning. (Paolo and Lyle helped too.) Extra shout-out to Stella Zawistowski for putting 18-Across on my radar and thus enabling this theme set.
Puzzle below the cut. Enjoy.
