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.”

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

uriesays

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???

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.

drgaellon

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

copperbadge

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

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.

tina goldstein

no one really talks about her or have her as their fave, or even like her (sadly) but i just want to dedicate a post to her for being the independent, strong, formidable yet vulnerable woman. she really went to paris alone to find credence and she was the only auror who didn’t want him dead, and has been supporting him since the first film. oh and also that scene where she tied theseus to a chair? a-m-a-zing. the scene where she helped tame zomwu (that cat beast from china which i kinda forgot how to spell) just by remembering how newt did it the first time shows how observant she is, and how much she too, likes magical creatures (remember the look on her face when she saw newt taming zomwu for the first time? thats love yall). i just think she doesnt get enough credit, i mean i’m well aware people find her annoying but i just can’t see it, i only see someone who is serious about her work and would do anything to fight for what she believes in.

shaveddogbuttface

@shavveddogbuttface if I recall correctly they were annoyed that she was constantly reprimanding newt for breaking the law, which to me is kinda odd bc she’s just carrying out her duties as an auror and newt just happens to stir trouble in her jurisdiction? Oh, some even said she was useless as an auror and that just CONFUSES ME EVEN MORE bc ??? girl literally got suspended trying to protect a no-maj from abuse and she even held down her own battle while fighting graves

@mingying Oh, wow. Yeah, okay, so I’ll admit - the first time I saw Fantastic Beasts I was really confused by Tina and her insistence on turning Newt in to MACUSA but then I rewatched the movie and really paid attention to her character and everything aligned so perfectly for me from the re-watch. In particular, the scene where Queenie tells Jacob that she’s just a secretary at MACUSA and Tina is the “career girl.” Tina actually looks super proud to be praised as a career girl. So I think her insistence on turning Newt in was fitting for her character in that, she is very much the career heavy, by the books, law abiding, duty bound witch. It’s a huge facet of her character. And Newt is, well… the opposite. In fact, I feel like the movie directly tries to point this out to us, and it was emphasized tenfold with the second movie. With having Newt refusing to take sides. With having Newt’s boggart be working in an office. With having Dumbledore say that Newt has a habit of breaking rules. With having Newt say how much he dislikes Aurors (you know, except for Tina). So I was kind of like “Really? Is this the girl Newt is going to end up with? The girl who repeatedly tried to turn him in to authorities? How is that going to work if Newt is constantly going to break the law and Tina is so law abiding?” But, the thing about Tina is that, her good heart takes precedent over her career. She lost her position as an Auror because she wouldn’t follow the rules. Because she wouldn’t put the law before what is right. When I rewatched the first movie, I really paid attention to Newt’s face when Tina was telling him about why she was fired and I think it was one of the moments where he saw they were more alike than different. Also, Tina breaking the law to help Credence is a direct parallel of Newt’s role as the caretaker of the Beasts. The way Tina broke through in calming Credence down at the end of the movie, is the exact way Newt tries to relate to his Beasts and calm them. This is one of the biggest reasons why she is such a good fit for him. And I think he knew this pretty early on too, because, when he was going after Credence, he told Tina to take care of his animals. Anyway, in the same way that it took Tina being faced with right or wrong for her to finally be on the other side of the law (opposition to the Ministry), Newt, in the second movie, was also faced with right and wrong and had to chose a side (support of the Ministry). Isn’t that beautiful irony?? So, I think, essentially, what the writers are trying to portray with Newt and Tina’s characters is that they are exact opposites on the OUTSIDE, while sharing the same heart on the INSIDE. Perfect balance really. You can’t go wrong.

@shaveddogbuttface

This is really the most perfect analogy i’ve seen on both Tina/Newt’s characterisations and how they do fit together as a couple. Especially on how they are different on the outside but essentially the same on the inside. You’re absolutely right about how Tina is a career woman and she takes so much pride in the work she does. You can tell she really loves being an auror! Yet, she was able to throw all that away when Credence had been badly abused, going against all rules of an auror by exposing magic to the no-majs, and then resuming her operation even when expressly told not to. I guess on the face of it, viewers who don’t like Tina never really looked at her actions after how she apprehended Newt and sent him to MACUSA, which to me is kinda sad because her actions after that clearly reflected her good heart. Even in the 2nd movie she was relentless in her search for Credence and that sort of desperation that we see in her to get to him is commendable. I love that she is flawed, she has her moments and mistakes, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a good character because there are strengths in her personality too.

Just appreciate him. If for no other reason then because he appreciated Hermione.

Victor Krum was ready to fight Xenophilus Lovegood of all people in the goddamn street because he was wearing the wizard Nazi symbol from ww2. Like no holds barred throw down.

Protect my foreign son and his goodness. Let Victor punch Nazis 2k17

letitrainathousandflames-archive

Also in the wedding he told Harry that “that symbol” [the one xenophilus was wearing] would be graffitied here and there in durmstrang by students who “agreed with grindelwald” (neo nazis, in a sense). But victor and his friends kicked their asses to show that kind of thing would not be allowed.

Boy straight up had his own gang of nazi-punching bros, heck yeah

Viktor Krum, punching Nazis since 1994.

newtsthunderbirdd-deactivated20

Its actually sickening to see how much Tina hate there still is, in this fandom. I cant even look on the fantastic beasts Facebook page anymore. Its plagued with Tina hate.

People have given no time to understand her character whatsoever. The recurring comments are always the same. “Shes boring, shes bland, shes uptight, shes not right for newt, she doesn’t deserve Newt”.

EXCUSE FUCKING YOU?!

Tina, for me is the most RELATABLE character in the entire Wizarding World fandom. I was never clever enough to identify with Hermione. I never considered myself confident enough to identify with Ginny. I certainly was never laid back enough to identify with Luna.

But here you have Tina, who by all accounts has had to grow up way to fast. Its no wonder she is the way she is, angry, hurt, not as willing to open herself up to just anyone!?. She lost her parents and was left with a little sister to provide for and supply for. She had to play both mum and sister to her. So shes faced struggles in her personal life, probably has had to sacrifice her happiness and pursing any sort of relationship because of her responsibility to Queenie.

The only thing she wants to pursue and excel in is her work, and from her JUST WANTING TO DO HER JOB, she was demoted and knocked back, as was her confidence and self belief. Probably causing her to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Was she really good enough at anything? Did she really do right by Queenie?

Then, this strange man comes into her life, when she has obviously hit rock bottom. She isn’t given the time of day to prove herself in anything. Out of her two sisters, shes given less male attention because of her looks, America and the Wizarding world are on the brink of war, and this man comes in and despite the fact it isn’t her duty to, she pursues him and turns him into the ministry, probably knowing nobody will listen to her or take her seriously. And it fucking hurts knowing in your gut youre right about something, yet nobody is willing to listen!

I truly think in regards to Newt, shes been let down so much and had so much bad luck already in her life, she probably at the beginning looked at him not expecting much out of it. He was just like any other man. All until she was in that death chamber. And despite her betrayal to him (BECAUSE IT WAS HER JOB FFS SHE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE) this man, this stranger believed in her. and chose to save her. Bringing that spark back in her, that fire and that passion to believe in herself. It made her realise there were people out there who were genuine. Who did care. Who DID WANT TO LISTEN TO HER. Its BECAUSE OF NEWT she was given the chance to believe in herself again and Newt was given the chance to believe in himself again.

Going into Crimes of Grindlewald, the fire in her and with Newt with continue to grow and build and the complex insecurities and pain of her past will surely come out. We will learn just how much shes sacrificed to get to where she is today, and SHE DESERVES HAPPINESS. SHE DESERVES HAPPINESS WITH NEWT AND THEY’RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.

I know, that i’ve had my Tina moments. Life has bit me in the arse and ive hit rock bottom be it in my personal life and career. Its so nice to see a character put in a dark place and pull themselves back up, along side a person who encourages them to believe in themselves and that THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGh.

So to all you Tina haters, saying shes a character who is bland, with no layers and is uptight. YOU try raising a sister without any parents at a young age, sacrificing everything for your job just to lose it, all to pick yourself back up again during a time where your lives and families lives are threatened by war.Whilst battling with feelings for a man you once believed to be a criminal, but out of every man in the world its THAT ONE that surprises you.

I love this character. I love her and Newt. I love how damaged they both are. Because over the years we are going to watch them go from two damaged human beings, to a strong powerful couple who SAVED EACH OTHER.

silvertonedwords

And it’s this Newt that we’re going to get to know a little better throughout this chapter. Where he lives, what he does, who he hangs out with. Including Tina, who is once again played by Katherine Waterston.

Katherine Waterston: So between the first and second film, Newt and Tina have been separated by the Atlantic ocean, and maintained a correspondence. Which was abruptly cut off when Tina discovers that Newt is engaged to Leta Lestrange.

He’s not. Don’t worry folks, it’s all a big misunderstanding.

Eddie Redmayne: Newt has very little social capacity, let alone with people he finds attractive. He had managed to articulate himself enough when standing on those docks in New York to make it clear to Tina that he had great feeling for her, and she clearly did too. So there was a world in which I thought it all might be happy ever after, but no. Newt thinks it’s because of him being particularly harsh about aurors. Of course Tina is an auror.

In case you’re not familiar with the term, an auror is a highly trained specialist officer who investigates crimes related to the dark arts and is able to apprehend or detain dark wizards and witches. Anyway, as you were saying Eddie…

Eddie Redmayne: But actually it transpires that the reason the letters have stopped is because Tina has seen a magazine in which a photo of myself, of Leta, and of my brother Theseus has appeared on the front of the magazine, and it is misquoted as saying that I’m getting married to Leta Lestrange, rather than my brother, Theseus, actually getting married to Leta Lestrange. She’s seen this, she’s remembered Leta’s name being mentioned in the last film, and so she thinks that I’ve gone home and forgotten all about her. So unfortunately we start the film in a place of complete miscommunication between two people who already can’t communicate.

Katherine Waterston: And so she has to sort of move on and get on with her life. And it’s a big bummer. But she has her work to do so she just–that’s kind of Tina’s way of coping with painful things; she just pours her…all of her energy and focus into her work. And so off to Paris she goes, and then Newt shows up there and really messes up her progress and her investigation. And kind of chases her around until she is forced to listen to his story about what happened.

Eddie Redmayne: And often what’s interesting is that even though they start the film at loggerheads, subconsciously they’re brilliant at working together.

Katherine Waterston: There’s a chance that she might kick him in the shins. She’s mad, you know. She thinks she’s been jilted. She’s got her pride, But of course he can see through that. You know I think what’s fun about being reunited is that even when there’s difficulty between them, they both love adventure and so there are all these wonderful moments at the beginning of the film when they first reconnect where she’s hurt, and offended, and disappointed, and then suddenly having so much fun with him, and then it’s like ‘oh God, this guy is fun to be around’ and has to deal with the fact that he’s wonderful and she can’t have him.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

Okay, so.... since Eugene had so little scenes in W, I'll just compile them all later in the future. Honestly, I'm not digging W, besides the fact that I actually love sci-fi elements, i feel like this is completely unrealistic (YES I KNOW SCI-FI ISN'T SUPPOSE TO BE REALISTIC IN THE FIRST PLACE) but seriously, kissing somebody to return back to your own planet makes no sense like, I'll do anything to return but kissing someone so lightly and throwing your whatever kiss away so easily is so unrealistic, it's unromantic, it's impossible. No you did not have me squealing there. The only thing pulling me through is Jung Eugene and she's nowhere to be found. So if the ending is great, pretend i never said this, but as of now, my unpopular opinion and irrelevant comments stands as it is.
