Constructor's Note
I was prompted by a friend to include 25D... I may have gotten a little wacky with it

        I spent about 15 minutes or so thinking that it was a weird rebus puzzle. This is so much better though. I love the concept!

          Okay, I got there (eventually) but I am still not totally sure what happened here. Tips?

            Every 'O' in the grid acts as a portal through which entries pass; the final grid is animated to try and illustrate where they each end up

              Thank you! Very clever, and also clean that those were the only “O”s.
              I see:
              • 13A/47A — SILVER
              • 35A/25A — HERMIT
              • 19A/41A — DINGLE (new to me!)
              • 37D/14D — TACKED
              • 9D/41D — ALTARS
              • 25D — OREO (ouroboros-style?)
              What did I miss?
              Also, does 49A have anything to do with the theme? (Its clue only shows up as a bunch of stacked horizontal segments for me.)
