    Heh spent a long time staring at this one before basically solving 20 across
    20AThe theme of this puzzle... NOT ;)[-----------]
    first 馃槀. Easier said than done!
    Fun puzzle Ben!

      Thanks!!!

      Good difficulty distribution even considering the theme, which managed to include every clue! Nice one. (I spent so long thinking of synonyms for "life" or "peace" or "plenty" before getting MESSIAH
      15AOne of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, perhaps[-------]
      馃槄)

      18AIt's[---]
      was the last thing i filled in... hahaha - oh i see what you did there ;)
      • Philip Chow 馃9:02聽路聽about 2 years ago
        took me awhile to figure out what was going on... first thing i filled in was SETTING (for MELTING
        27ASolidifying[-------]
        ), and then saw that INCA
        28DAztec, with regard to the North-South axis of the Americas[----]
        fit, but i thought wait wasn't INCA
        28DAztec, with regard to the North-South axis of the Americas[----]
        in peru? something weird is going on... and NEED
        29DWant[----]
        and WANT aren't the same thing? loved the AHA moment of this puzzle

          Love the title, that's what grabbed me right away! And then i love all the different ways you interpreted opposites! ITS
          18AIt's[---]
          vs IT'S was definitely one of my favorites. For 3D
          3DIs in the green[----]
          , I usually hear that as "in that black," so that took me a while. Great fun overall!
