Wow, that is devious use of 'trat'.
Finally for now, isn't the last wall clue a normal clue, not just wordplay?

I think the positioning of, ''and'' suggests otherwise, lumen - it would be redundant for the straight clue's answer (and the surface would be smoother without it).

Definitely a struggle! I have a full grid, apart from 1 square. A couple of groups with an obvious link and a couple with a less obvious one. I also spent more time retroactively parsing things than on any other crossword I can remember.

For 'Two engagements on social media....' I have 5 of 6 letters and not a scooby as to how they make two words related to any of the others. I've trawled over possible errors in my linked entries to no avail.

Sorry about the double post. The system appeared to reject it the first time. 🤔

I tried to hint at this one earlier, granama1 (the part I needed help with was RT for re-tweet).

Ah...thanks drxx. I wouldn't have worked the RT out in the proverbial month of Sundays. I'll give it another coat of looking at. 😁

The last two clued answers which I don't have are - 33d, Ballerina out of the way up in Fife formerly (4) (particularly annoying as I am from Fife) and 37d, Numb after this smash from Dimitrov, which I can't see even though I have first two of three letters. Any help welcome.
I have most of the Wall answers except three of the long ones, I am thinking like 1a they are not real words or phrases. (1a is an incomplete phrase I think?)

Lumen,
33d is d(ance)r
37d Smash is slang for money so look up Dimtrov's nationality.
The long wall answers are incomplete, all completed by adding the name of one of the main thematic protagonisrs

Lumen, the ballerina is just D ance r. I'm sure you recognise the 'formerly' now.
37 Numb is a Biblical abbreviation, as is the answer to the clue.

Yes, the long unclued entries don't read as proper words, phrase (because of a themed element).
