Puzzle 91 - 21x15: And You

This is something of a tribute puzzle though the occasion only is that we people continue to be home alone. It's also the biggest puzzle I've finished constructing, because stacking the themed part needed all this space. I worked hard.

Puzzle 84 - 9x9

Last time I made a puzzle with this shape I complained that the 4-letter answers were overused. Well they still are but that's all right because the clues should bring them to life. Somewhat, I hope.

Though good is relative, and there's a duplicated part of an answer, everything here is fine or better, unlike some "really?" answers of puzzles past.
