(Disclaimer: Most of this was written around 2 weeks before actually posting this, so the mood of this spoiler doesn't necessarily match how I'm feeling about all of this right now.)
So when I had thought about how I was going to use the Bloom at first, I had an idea: bloom-patch-golden egg-patch-pearl; patch-RSF-RSF-RSF-patch, like so:
In my mind I was like "oh my god yes, so cool!" (even if it really is just flexing on people with the success/luck I've had in events in the span of the past year lmao), but then when I started readying collectibles, I realized something:
oh
oh no
So then I was left with 3 options:
1) Replace the Pearl in the above with something else that fits between the two patches
2) Keep the Pearl, have an unsymmetric line-up.
3) Buy the Fair 2022 patch after the Bloom was distributed to do patch-Bloom-golden egg-pearl-patch instead (or just get the Bloom moved now that it's an option)
Ultimately, I went with 1, since I like symmetry. It makes line-ups look nicer imo! And I feel like it's nicer to have the Bloom to the left of the patch since I can do more with it in the future than if I did the patch to the left of the Bloom.
I suppose in retrospect it would've been nice had I gotten the Camp Bell Tree patch
after getting the pearl, but then again, I would have never thought I could win a Golden Egg or win what would've been an unnamed animated collectible from the Fair, so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
