Sorry for sharing so late! Things are pretty crazy right now, but I still wanted to share! I am now convinced I am an outlier in the Twisted Wonderland community… Even though Crewel isn’t my personal favorite staff member, in the general sense, I love that the staff members are finally getting cards! It certainly beats only receiving voice lines and getting featured here and there in the main story and events, which does give us a bit more to work with/more time in the spotlight for them, but not a whole lot. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind owning all the staff member cards, even for the staff members I don’t really consider a favorite of mine because I find the cards really awesome. Trying for all of them depends on three things for me: 1. How many keys and gems I have once these cards come to the English version. 2. What may be happening before, during, or after the month the MAP event runs in the English. Chances are for the staff members that aren’t personal favorites, if there’s a banner I want to try for more, I’ll probably focus on that one instead of the staff member. 3. If the Gacha on the banner is kind to me. My personal favorite staff members would be Professor Trein and Sam, so I know that, if I am able to, I will definitely be trying for their cards when they come to the English version. I think I want Sam the most, though. Looking at the staff members lineup in the album, Sam is on the very end so he’ll probably be the last staff to get a card unfortunately. But at least Trein’s will be next. While on the topic of Sam, two things: 1. Something for Sam that would be pretty cool would be a Halloween event that takes place at his hometown, with lore from both the Princess and the Frog and the Haunted Mansion being incorporated throughout the story. Sam can accompany the students, perhaps? I’m honestly surprised the Halloween event like this has not happened yet. It would be perfect! 2. Before moving on from Sam, it really makes me wonder what the English version will do when his inevitable card makes its way over? Editing his sprite/in game character model is one thing, but editing his artwork from his future card is another. I hope they don’t because I won’t be pleased, honestly. I’m not sure how much I would want to pull for a card that’s been edited, even if I really want it. Fixing something that may be wrong is one thing, but completely removing something is another. Example: from what I understand when Silver’s Platinum Jacket Birthday Card first released in May of this year for the Japanese server, the initial groovy illustration at launch was missing his eye make up, so they issued an update or patch, where his eye make up was fixed or added. That I can understand. Wait a minute, what if the English version edits Sam in the fourth anniversary illustration, too? I really hope not…The only upside is that the Grim card’s for the anniversaries are free, so nothing will be spent to get them, unlike with Sam’s inevitable SSR card… ❤️♦️♣️♠️ Thank you so much for being amongst the fans that have noticed and mentioned how Cater is a part of one of the characters who has not seen an event SSR since October 2020!!! The only non-birthday non-event SSR he has been given since then would be his clubwear one, and that card is nearly approaching two years ago since its release. As a big fan of Cater, this drought for him is disappointing. I’m hoping to see something for him this year, before it ends, even if it isn’t an SSR, sadly, but it would be better than nothing at all… Jade is in a similar situation, and even though I don’t have a preference for Octavinelle as a whole, I feel bad for him too, and really sympathize with his fans. Hopefully when the Book 7 Octavinelle card releases, it goes to Jade over Floyd, but we’ll have to wait and see. Despite not having a preference for Octavinelle, I am going to be honest, if the Book 7 card is either Jade or Floyd in their merforms, that would be so cool! Jade’s clubwear card is the first non-birthday SSR he has received since October of 2020. It was surprising just to see him get that much, not so much for him getting a clubwear card (since it was obvious he would at some point), just that he was getting a non-birthday SSR at all. Speaking of Jade‘s clubwear card, even though I don’t have much of a preference for Malleus, either, I’m honestly surprised that he did not get his clubwear card this month, seeing as how they are duo magic partners, but I guess it could be because of what is happening this month. Back to the SSR card thing, though, it’s frustrating that this is happening to certain characters not receiving new SSR’s, both in general, and because there is a skew with some characters getting more attention-especially with SSR’s-over others. Some examples of characters that have a considerable amount of SSR cards up to this point in time would be Kalim, Vil, and Rook. Kalim has the most out of everyone, with Vil and Rook catching up. A part of me can’t complain about Vil, since he is a fan favorite of mine - nor Rook, to some extent. Even if Rook isn’t too much of a fan favorite of mine, a lot of his card art is fantastic, but at the same time, give other characters a chance, you know? Especially the ones who haven’t had much at all, especially in a while. I hope that Kalim, Vil, and Rook get put on a bit of an SSR cool down. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t receive any cards at all, just have them be SR and R cards for a bit and focus on the characters who don’t have nearly as in much comparison. ❤️♦️♣️♠️ Sometimes there are months where I am both excited for the calendar in the Japanese and English version, but for July 2024, I feel like I’m more excited for the English server Calendar over the Japanese version. Don’t get me wrong I’ve been anticipating Book 7 to get to Scarabia, it’s amongst one of the dorms that I was looking forward to appearing in Book 7 (Heartslabyul and Savanaclaw will be the others), because I want to see Jamil‘s dream the most. The thing with the main updates, though, it’s a one and done kind of situation where once they release, that’s it. Then after that, it’s just an event rerun, and then Leona’s birthday, which I am also eagerly awaiting for, but not much else is happening beyond that. I am really wondering what is in store for August? ❤️♦️♣️♠️ Now, for the English server, Leona‘s hometown event is finally here! I’m SO EXCITED! It’s just frustrating that it is during Leona‘s birth month, but what are you gonna do, this wouldn’t be the first time the English server has ran an event during or close to the birth month of a character who is also the event SSR, and it probably won’t be the last, unfortunately. I am know that I am going to pull for Leona’s SSR and I am excited to receive the Vil freebie. Too bad he is an R card over an SR, though. I would’ve loved a Groovy illustration for Vil, but it is what it is. As for Leona’s birthday…I’ll have to see towards the end of the month. I don’t have any birthday Leona cards, unfortunately. If I can go for one at least, it’ll either be his Birthday Boy Suit Up one or his Bloom Broom one since I love those ones the most. I am leaning towards the Bloom Broom one. The Bloom Broom series of cards will remain my top favorite in the game. I’ll just have to see how far I can go with pulling for it, or if I can at all, when July 27th rolls around.
I am a Leona fan so seeing his hometown event coming is making me freak. I mean it's a nice early birthday present for me (my birthday is three days after Leona's birthday) I threw a pair of ten rolls into Lilia and Floyd for the Stitch event to get Riddle and Ace, I even got the Floyd. I really want this Leona because Leona is the reason that I got into Twist in the first place so he has a special place in my heart despite Idia being my favorite now. I really hope that he's nice to me and comes home for me.
Right from when we got the White Rabbit Fest back in April, I prophecized that Tamashina Mina would be pushed to July to capitalize on the Leona birthday hype. This would be similar to the Red Carpet Showcase for Vil's hometown being released in April, riding the hype for their birthday. The only thing I'm left wondering about now is what could possibly be in store for ENG in August, since the Stitch event came in June (I enjoyed it very much. Fellow creatures of chaos all getting along famously, and I was there for every second of it, even if I didn't draw Floyd or Lilia's SSR cards.) And now that July 2024 is taken care of, the room to speculate what Halloween 5 will be and whether the ENG server will get the special showcase for Rollo's SSR card come early Fall is now open!
My bestie’s gonna drain me of my money, but he might show mercy because he backed down last year for Jack’s Port Fest. Long live the king! 👑 As for SSR Kalim, I think that’s actually in Jamil’s dream because I don’t think Kalim would see himself as someone above anyone, let alone ruling over anyone. That’s just my speculation.
OMG ITS HERE!!!!!!!! (Proceeds to hyperventilate) Gosh he’s part of the reason I joined twisted wonderland. (Mal is the other.) I’m almost ready! I’ve been slowly saving for 6 weeks for him. I have enough for 9 pulls. Gosh I want him sooooo bad. But then his birthdays are coming up and I want that too!!!!!😢 They’re making this hard for me on purpose.😱 I’m turning into mush. How much you want to bet by next year I’ll save and then professor Crewel will out just before his birthday and just sucks my diamonds out with no remorse.😒 💎 I’m sure the Kalim one will be fun. Question, do guest room items come with Leonas event? Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
Easy month after no Stitch Floyd... just a nice safe SR Kalim card. Yay!XD I can finally have a break after the last 3-4 months of just hell... freedom!XD

I'm the same with Leona, and now Vil (and Jamil) and my mains, but Leona will always be the one that brought me to the dance.

I remember somewhere where Kalim dreams of everyone to be happy. That's what he'll use his sultan position for.
