Very fun theme! And getting the revealer partway through helped me fill in some circles, which definitely aided me in getting some crossing answers I'd been unable to get otherwise; a mark of well-used circles, IMO.
Very good. Spent quite a while wondering what on earth 7D meant until I realised it wasn't one word!

I really enjoyed this puzzle!
Fun fact: according to a podcast I heard recently, the phrase ass-backward appears to have originated after the phrase bass-ackward (1937 and 1884, respectively). Now ain't that ass-backward!
