    Got a little stuck on the last letter of 1D, but such a fun mini! Love to see 1A and 3D in a puzzle together.

    1:56! despite not knowing many of the clues! 100% thought ‘slayer’ meant like classic horror movie killer, and do not know a single drag queen name that I can immediately remember. But I did it!

    Brb, writing 1A and 3D fanfic. Not under their real names, either, I’ll literally write “1A” and “3D”. It’ll be one of those iykyk situations for a very niche audience.
