Very clever! Loved filling in the grid on this one.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

This was so much fun! Paolo is a terrific constructor.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Wow, that was a challenging grid. Seemed like lots of stuff I didn’t know plus … well, you know how it goes.
The meta was lovely and definitely worth the work of getting there

Grid was doubly tricky for me; where my cultural knowledge failed wasn't helped by the mechanism requirements!
But I showed some endurance a la 2D and 58A to reach the reward of the meta solution.
Thanks for the nifty puzzle, Paolo!

Great construction, and a challenging yet really fun solve.
I saw Wendy's comments above, and went back to see what else Paolo had done... ahh, now I recognize the name: Butterfly Effect, one of my absolutely favorite solves ever. Just brilliant! So glad to get another challenge here, Paolo!

Amazing stuff, as I would have expected. Definitely a slog to fill in the grid, for obvious reasons plus my being too old, but the post-fill progression was pretty great. Total confusion ⇒ oh, that's interesting ⇒ oh, I get it ⇒ oh, I GET IT.
