BUG: in the weird black white area. the puzzle with big time blocks doesnt work. its stuck. also what are with those one block tunnels?
Once you complete the puzzle the question is linked to and acquire the key item, the puzzle block will fade out.I am guessing that I understood the hint system incorrectly.
From what I have been assuming based on the description of the hint system, if a ? block is faded out, it means that I have the items I need to solve the puzzle, and that a faded block looks like the block in the second picture. Since I have seen only 2 different appearances for the ? block, I was assuming that it being hollow means that it was faded.
Is this incorrect? And if so, how does it actually work?

I seem to be stuck.. I might just be being dumb on mechanics, but I can't seem to do anything else to get anywhere. I need a Boomerang, Waterbolt, Vilethorn, Lava charm or double jump to do anything else.

Any tips to get me going on the right track again would be appreciated.
Crimson Area, Black Question Mark on the Bottom-Left. You should be able to Tiger Claw up to the switch on that pillar and go through, it should take you to the BoC Boss, and IIRC, you get a weapon there (Boomerang IIRC). I'd love to know how you got the Celestial Stone without the Harpoon, though, lol.
I hit that switch, all it did was open a small 1 wide hole that didn't seem to allow me to do anything.
Unfortunately that's kinda how Metroidvania works. Lots of freedom to explore early on, showing you what it has to offer, but quickly starts restricting where you can go. It's supposed to serve as an incentive to explore, but it can be frustrating at times. I haven't played this map myself yet, but as a huge fan of Metroid games I plan on it.
I'm actually very surprised people disliked the Meteor-mushroom area. I love it. It's one of my favorite areas from any game in recent memory. Having to fend off constant attacks while trying to make those jumps was so much fun. If the jumps were more difficult I could see it being rather annoying, but I think it's great as-is. Kept you on your toes. I didn't think it was particularly difficult (I died once) surprisingly, since I have very little experience with the parkour aspect of Terraria.
My least favorite part was the second part of Hell. Those jumps took me a very long time to pull off. I was recording it and had to edit out around 40 minutes there, heh. Yes, the actuating-walls and the stalactite jumps took me over 40 minutes to pass...maybe that was just when I was playing that part (3:30am or so) but it was by far the most difficult part of the entire map for me.
Constant harassment by mobs is a love-hate kinda thing. Some people love it, other people absolutely hate it. I tend to fall in the latter category. Constant random encounters in J-RPGs annoy me too, especially in complex mazes when I'm trying to remember where I've been and where I haven't, and constant enemy encounters make it hard to remember. I remember Breath of Fire 1 being lousy in the witch's tower where every 3 steps triggered a battle in that place and it got old, fast. Same concept applies here. Waiting for 20, 30 seconds killing mobs (especially when you can't use the money or the meteorites) trying to find an opportunity to make the next jump is annoying, and some of those mushrooms were small enough that you could get knocked off if one came up through the floor and touched you, either killing you or forcing you to re-do several jumps which was even more aggravating.
