This absolutely whooped me. I'm a fan of rebuses (rebi?) but there are so many clues I just didn't know. PICA, SABOTS, SKED, CABALA and for proper nouns MISSM, SHILO, IVANOE, OLETA, and odd ones for me personally like MIZ (with a Z?), MDCCC (why would I assume Roman Numerals?) and MOC (I figured MIC [Like a lapel microphone] or MOC but with the proper noun across I didn't know). There were some fun challenges in there I enjoyed but overall it was a miss for me and I had to look up quite a bit for it to be a Thursday.

Fun one, but a bit tough for a Monday. Almost doubled my normal Monday time

I blazed through this one. I'm a bit of a techie but I can see some non computer literate folks having frustrations with this one

I filled the whole puzzle but had something wrong. I knew it was something in the NE corner with MOoN and INoE. I took a break and came back to it a couple times but couldn't figure it out. I had to look it up and then kicked myself. I just couldn't think of anything else that would smile down on the night besides the Moon but morn makes perfect sense

I don't get Mickey Mouse being TRIVIAL. I filled it in with the down clues but I don't see the correlation

Fun easy Monday. I had a hangup with NS_ and S_ABS, because I was unfamiliar with both, but just spamming different letters until I got the gold star worked lol

Enjoyable Wednesday if maybe a bit easy. I had never heard of ISAKDINESEN and thought for sure I was going to be wrong somewhere but was pleasantly surprised with a Gold Star when I placed the final letter for K in SKEETER.
