Oliver and Felicity I Underneath I 5x20
All I know is, right here right now, I wanna spend every moment I can with you.
I walked into the bunker and she was just there, like nothing had happened. Like it was some kind of gift.
If you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.
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.
I demand a movie or a miniseries.

#I will never be over this scene #not in a million years #I will never be over how Oliver’s face just transforms #and in that moment #he’s just a little boy with his mother again #hoping that he hasn’t let his mother down #that she still loves him #I will NEVER be over what those words must have meant to him #I could not be more proud #she told him #and it was like this weight was just lifted #Moira was such an incredible mother #she had some major faults #but God she was a MOTHER (via rosietwiggs)
#Here’s the difference between Moira and Malcolm#Moira did terrible things#(for the greater good could be implied but sometimes they really were for *her* greater good and that’s a distinction that should not be forgotten)#but she was always given these moments and hints of redemption and humanity#she begs the hood not to kill her for the sake of her children#she reveals malcolms plot to level the Glades at great personal risk#she was also involved in this plot#but hey#again#Moira was always supposed to be morally ambiguous and I really truly love her that way#everything she did always fell in line with one objective: protection#and yeah her ideas of what actually qualified as protection were sketchy five out of seven days of the week#but there was a consistency to her every action#WILL THIS PROTECT MY CHILDREN?#and it came to the point where she literally DIED to protect her daughter#that is who Moira Queen was and that NEVER changed#in life or in death#moira queen#arrow (x)
reasons why i will always love moira and still hate malcolm
