Andrew Lincoln in TWD ep. 6.05 (Now)

Deanna: What I wanted for this place. Was that really just a pie in the sky?

This is the second sexiest era of Rick

I don’t care, I don’t make the rules

Fight me in the street

Rick: Thank you.

Michonne: For what?

Thanks for asking my perspective! I was under the impression that when Michonne first came to the prison, she didn’t know they were Andrea’s former group. I thought maybe when Merle reveals to everyone that Michonne knows Andrea, that’s the same moment when Michonne learns they know Andrea too.

At first, I was thinking Andrea probably didn’t say anything too detailed about Rick and the group while she and Michonne traveled together, especially with Michonne not being too detailed with Andrea about her past. But then, as I thought about it more, I was like, actually, with the way Andrea divulged very personal info about Rick to the Governor, I could also see a scenario where Andrea maybe tells Michonne that she was with a group run by a cop and his cop buddy, and saying how they were good people in her eyes even despite their personal drama with the Lori situation.

We’re making a big change to how account deletion works on Tumblr, and we’re really excited about it, because this is something that some of you have been requesting for… well… a literal decade.

Before today, when you deleted your Tumblr account, it was immediate and permanent. Occasionally, this resulted in Very Sad Times. Even though we’ve tried to make it super difficult to accidentally delete your account, this is something that still happens a lot. Like, a lot. There’s also plenty of folks who delete their account on purpose, but then regret it shortly afterward. Worst of all, if your account was hacked, and then deleted by the hacker, there was no way to get it back. 

All of these problems are *poof* no more. As of today, when you delete your account, we will keep your data for 30 days. Your account will remain recoverable during that time, and you can contact us within that 30 day window if you’d like us to restore your account.

Eventually, we hope to make this process a bit easier, and allow you to restore your account with a single click of a button. For right now, though, you’ll need to contact us via tumblr.com/support and choose the category “Account Access” > “I have deleted my account or blog by accident”. 

FAQs

How do I delete my account? Does that process look different now?

You can follow the steps here to delete your account on the web or through the mobile app, which works pretty much the same way as before. You’ll notice we’ve updated the confirmation screen to reflect the new process, though.

Does a deleted account still appear on Tumblr during this 30 day window?

Nope. As soon as you submit the request to delete your account, all of your blogs will no longer be accessible (they’ll 404), no one will be able to message you, your posts will no longer appear in search results, and you won’t be able to log in anymore. This happens right away, not 30 days later. Deleted accounts still behave exactly as they always have.

What about my email address and username? Will those become available again immediately after account deletion, like they did before?

Notably, no, they will not. In order to make it possible for the account to be restored during the 30 day window, the username and email address must remain associated with the account during that time. So they won’t be available to register again until 30 days after you’ve deleted your account.

If you’re deleting your account, and you already know that you’d like to use the same username or email address on a new account immediately afterward, we recommend that you change your username and email address before deleting the account. That way, they will become available right away, instead of being on hold for 30 days. 

What if I’ve accidentally deleted one of my sideblogs, but not my entire account?

If you delete a sideblog, it will be deleted right away, and cannot be restored. We can only restore an entire account (which will restore all of its blogs along with it). 

Is this feature retroactive? Can you restore the account I deleted two years ago?

As much as we would like this to be possible, the answer is no. We still haven’t perfected the art of time travel, so all accounts deleted before today are still deleted for good. This new change will only apply to accounts which are deleted after this announcement is posted.

Where can I learn more about the account deletion process?

I thought about this question a lot while writing my fic about Richonne’s pre-canon moments I wanted to cover, because I felt strongly that Michonne would tell Rick about her son at some point before they became a couple. And as I was writing, the most natural time when I saw her telling Rick about Andre was shortly after Carl was shot in the eye in NWO.

I feel like in season 4, she might’ve kept it to just telling Carl about Andre. And then in season 5, there’s so much going on and so many new territories, and Rick’s off the deep end a bit in his Savage Rick era, so I think she might not have had the space to tell him about her son yet. But after Carl gets shot, and she reflects on how close she came to losing another son and how grateful she is that Carl made it through that night, I could see that getting Michonne to open up with Rick about Andre. I wrote my take on how the Andre conversation could go between them in this chapter. 😊

I always found it interesting that Rick had a major event with his dad that occurred when he was the same age as RJ. I wasn’t of the mindset that there’s something more to come from that down the line, but I do think within TOWL it was an intentional parallel between Rick and RJ. Because 7-year-old RJ also has a major father-related event shape him when he meets Rick at the end of the season. The story Rick told in the premiere is one where he witnessed just how much his dad would do to take care of his family. And I think it set up nicely how RJ will grow up to also recall this year of his life as one where he learned just how much his dad did and would do to protect their family, too.

And DID 💅🏿
