	+ Thomas left Tumblr on March 30, 2016. He will only use Twitter and his personal Facebook to announce *Miraculous Ladybug* information. This will make it easier for him to answer questions and for Miraculers to find information. This will also prevent new Miraculers from stumbling onto fake accounts believing the user is Thomas.
