This is my 99th GAPP! I've been thinking about what genre to select for my 100th feature, but haven't found anything I like so far. Can you inspire me?

Today's GAPP is a Sashikabe!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and no 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. Each unshaded area must be an L shape with a width of one cell. Arrows must lie at one end of an L and point toward the bend. Circles must lie at the bend of an L, and if one contains a number, the L it is inside must contain the indicated amount of cells.
