another themeless for you! gridded this a few weeks ago, clued it just now. 32A was seed, but 3D is one i've been trying to get in fill for a long time now. i think i'm getting close to a full garbage plate's worth of ingredients between all my blog puzzles.
i've been super busy since my last blog themeless, so here's a bunch of plugs and stuff! i made a They Might Be Giants-themed cryptic with Frisco, which i'm super proud of and you can check out here! i finally finished my crossword gacha game - thrilled with how it turned out and very thankful for all the people who contributed to it and who have already played it. my avcx+ puzzle dropped! i think the puzzle turned out great and i'm so excited to be in avcx+! i went to boswords! i had so much fun, met a bunch of very cool people, and did way better than i expected in terms of the actual tournament part of it! finally, i contributed to and playtested Paradox Puzzlehunt 2, which starts this Friday, July 31st! it's a super super fun hunt, highly encourage solving it, especially if you liked my cryptic with frisco and want more of the "anna writes extremely constrained cryptic clues" experience.
oh also it's big brother season which you will be clearly able to notice in three (four if you know ball) of the long entries in this puzzle :) shoutout to this terrible yet incredible reality show that consumes my summers. please god someone talk to me about it
