Oh don't mind me, just once again breaking your expectations!
I did a variant for GAPP not too long ago, and now I'm doing a GAPP that isn't on a typical square grid!
Could I get any more crazy? Hmmm... you'll have to wait and see 😳

Today's GAPP is a Tawamurenga, often shortened to just Tawa!

Rules: Shade some cells such that each shaded cell has at least one shaded cell directly beneath (except for shaded cells on the bottom row). In a row, there may not exist a consecutive run of three or more shaded cells. Clued cells cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of shaded cells that share an edge with the clue (cells containing a ? can have any number of shaded cells around them, including 0).

A quick note about the software choice: this genre is on puzz.link if you're looking for more to solve, but its shaded cells being all black makes scanning for the threes rule incredibly difficult.
