you're not the only one. I went out my way to get Epi swim, then got thrown a few rainbows, then got pumpkin from the black friday deals...
including the additions along the way, I got this far in a few weeks (and some still need CSQ and affection. i think only 2 of them even have 2nd affection unlocked and it's done since I've got nearly 32k bond crystals atm)
