These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

Actual tears.. hnngh

Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.

where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang

This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

it’s back! I will always reblog BACA

Damn good people.

I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them. 

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added. 

Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing. 

If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I am physically being restrained against my will.

Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - there’s even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use I’ll ever have to make of it is for donations) ❤

new Ancient!Danny idea

Basically, you know how some/most Ancients have their own kingdoms/people and stuff?

Danny, but with a found family twist.

Since his obsession is protection, dead superheroes as his citizens?

Or you could do a Ghost King twist, with dead superheroes or warriors or knights in his ‘circle of favored’.

Like, imagine when anyone as a superhero dies, they meet a kid guy with a blazing crown, glowing eyes and frost falling.

“Hi, I’m Danny. What’s your name?”

“U-uh, hi, I’m Jason, Jason Todd.”

JUST

- Jason being a squire/ intern there until one day, POOF

- Jason speaking kinda ghostly formal, like this would happen:

Bruce: How’re you doing?

Jason: Just as well as a sparrow in a turtleshell fares. (realises) GODDAMN-

- Once, the JLA asked the magic users to help summon the High King, and Jason just went, oh Danny? Yeah I know him I interned for him.

JLA: 🤔

Jason: When I was dead.

JLA: I- what- the- I-

Bruce: You never mentioned this.

Jason: Cause I didn’t want to, douchebag.

- Danny like AYO JASON’S HERE

- And a shiton of ghosts just SWARM HIM

- imagine Infinite Realms as INFINITEbtw

- so Tony Stark like where you been kid?

- (spoilers for throne of glass) Gavriel: Aelin and Aedion’ve missed you

- Percy Jackson: Hey kid! Annabeth and Hermione made those designs you wanted! Can he come see them?

- Harry mf Potter, being close friends with Death: I really don’t see why Danny would say no.

- etc etc

YOU GET THE PICTURE?

JLA: Wait so do we-

Danny: Yup.

JLA: So every-

Danny: Yup.

JASON BEING FRIENDS WITH SO MANY HEROES JABSJn$/$/$:!:

Like Jason and the mf Winx Club if you want honestly!!!!

Now I'm going to see if there are any DP / DC Winx Club crossovers either just DP/WC or DC/WC will work too good bye I may not return and if there's not any I will speak with some of my writer friends and put this in their heads

batfam au where bruce is just purely Brucie Wayne, and all his kids are secretly vigilantes (he is utterly clueless)

After he adopts dick

Dick: *trying to sneak out the window*

Brucie: “Dick my son, where are you off to on this glorious evening”

Dick: “erm. a party.”

Brucie: “have fun I hope you ‘slay’ 🥳

Dick “haha.. yeah” *jumps out the window*

Jason-

Jason: *also trying to sneak out the window*

Brucie: “Are you also a party-boy like your brother?”

Jason: “No Im going to go beat people up”

Brucie: “So youve gotten your brothers sense of humor ^v^”

Tim-

Brucie: “Tim why do you never get any sleep?? I’m worried”

Tim: “I’m. Studying for AP exams.”

Brucie: “still you need to sleep :(”

*tims watch buzzes*

Tim: “Haha!!! I need to. go study with Dick and Jason now. bye Bruce”

Brucie: “At this point I’d rather you constantly going out to parties like they did”

Damian-

Brucie: “Dick I cannot believe you have been taking your 8 year old brother out until god knows when?????”

Damian: “Father we ar-“

Dick: “YES BRUCE IM SORRY FOR BEING SO IRRESPONSIBLE AND LETTING A CHILD GO OUT AT NIGHT. NO REASON A CHILD SHOULD BE GOING OUTSIDE.”

Brucie: “Alfred I feel like my kids are keeping a secret from me…”

*moment of silence*

Brucie: “No theyd never keep anything from me. my darling children.”

Dick, to Damian: Just pretend to have a sugar overdose when we get back.

Damian, confused as hell: Why should I do that?

Dick: Because to Bruce, I'm an irresponsible big brother who takes his little brother to a party and lets him take all the candy he can without any supervision.

Damian: If you give me real candy, I might not have to pretend.

Dick: I'll let you ride the motorbike.

Damian: It's a deal.

Danny: I lost my phone can you call it?

Vlad: Oh uh... Sure.

Vlad calls Danny's phone.

Danny's Phone: 🎶Now listen up here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world. 🎶

Vlad: ...

Danny: ...

Danny's Phone: 🎶And all day and all night, and everything he sees is just blue. Like him inside and outside.🎶

Vlad: Is this becau-

Danny pulling his phone from his pocket with a grin: Yes.

🎶I'm blue

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di

Da ba dee da ba di🎶

Vlad: I hate you.

Obsessed with sonic’s cannon age being 15 years old like. that Man is 28 with unmedicated adhd. let him live his life. Also tails being 8. Girl, he is a second year undergraduate what do you mean he’s 8? He’s got A Plane and Shit. 8 year olds don’t do that. Knuckles being 16 also doesn’t sit right with me. he is a 31 year old Single Mom working two jobs down at the bodega and canning factory for his kids to go to school. the only way I would accept any of this is if sonic and tails were the two kids knuckles was providing an education for. Ungrateful for the work their mother does but he provides it nonetheless

A single mom who works two jobs, who loves his kids and never stops. With strong hands and a heart of a fighter. He's a survivor.

get fucking hype the dannypocalypse is upon us

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is wild. Someone will be like “hey just so you know the thing you did was a little bit loud/uncomfortable/insensitive but it’s ok I know you didn’t mean it” and my brain will instantly translate “you should be shot”

The fun other side of this too is when you are afraid of making other people feel that way so you just let shit go 90% of the time even when it’s reasonable and valid to make a comment/critique/etc

i might have to rewatch Fanning the Flames to make sure, but i dont think they ever establish exactly why its so critical to sabotage ember’s global debut performance. i mean she is brainwashing people into loving her, sure, but she’s not really doing anything with that influence and has no stated goals beyond that, she just wants the fame and attention. so what’s the big threat if she had succeeded, outside of “then even more people won’t shut up about how much they love her, and having a bratty meltdown if they don’t get to go to her concerts, and it’s like, super annoying”

okay so. like every music artist with an obsessive fandom then.
