AVCX *bum-bum* *bum-bum* notes (spoilers inside)

 

this is my first AVCX puzzle ! it was very sweet working with Quiara, the editor

the themers for this puzzle i had intended for other separate ideas , but then i noticed they had something in common so i put them together 

*spoilers ahead*

some notes are

25A (PRINCESS PEACH): when i was young, i always played as princess peach in super smash bros. i loved her parasol, side special move, and floating ability. i also love her in the paper mario series

40D (NONONO): i didn't write this cute clue. i was a pretty picky eater and i loved spinach as a kid , it's a forever favorite food

42A (CUTIE PATOOTIE): sweet potato <33 it is 🧡shakarkandi🧡 in urdu ~ apparently 'patootie' may have came from 'potato'
