The Reason Talias Eye Color Is Never Consistent Is Bc They’re Hazel So They Just Always Change

I saw the comments you left under some of my posts and I love them. Do you have any more Talia and Brutalia headcanons?

I always do!! And I will be posting tons of hcs as I post my writings and art here down the line. I come up with them on a whim usually so I’ll just say the ones I’ve been pondering lately!

Also, I’m so sorry if I was spamming you 😭 I was scrolling Brutalia tag in the middle of the night and didn’t realize that like half the most recent posts were you!!

To start, I’ve been thinking about the Lazarus pits a lot lately. Especially everything between Talia and Nyssa, and the effects and details of her brainwashing. It is a confusing timeline that I’m trying my hardest to piece together, but it seems like DC has sort of just pushed that to the back of their minds? Which is unfortunate, honestly, because if they wanted a true villain Nyssa would have been the clear answer. Instead, we ended up with evil Talia for seemingly no reason… until that black Pearl stuff showed up, and then also disappeared.

The timeline I’ve pieced together, loosely, is made with an effort to stay as true to canon as possible while also keeping away from the extremely ooc writing. I want to find a way to keep in that brief moment of freedom she had when she was running LexCorp, as well as her journey toward becoming a mother. Which I will detail a bit now, because I love to think of Talia’s relationship with motherhood!

Talia has always loved children dearly. However, the idea of being a mother herself was always sort of scary. She’d lost her own mother when she was young, and never really had a clear example of how to mother a child aside from distant memories. (I can detail my hcs about her relationship with her mother soon as well, bc those are some that I hold close to my heart.)

It wasn’t until she’d been with Bruce for a while and spent enough time around Jason that she began to feel that ‘maternal pang’ so to speak. Jason is such a bright eyed child with so much potential, and each moment she’s spent around him she only seems to like him more and more. Bruce tells her not to spoil him so much but she can’t help it! Her relationship with Bruce and Jason give her a small amount of hope for a more normal life away from the league, though she is not yet at the stage where she would be able to fully leave her father.

When Jason died, it hit her like a truck. She’d distanced herself from Bruce at that time, thinking that her presence would only cause more trouble for them if the rest of the league suspected her of defecting. So she hadn’t gotten the chance to say goodbye, or try to make things right. She brings him back for Bruce’s sake, but for her sake as well. She would have ordered the Jokers head if she could have, but she couldn’t directly cross Bruce in such a way. If Jason’s death would ever be avenged, she knew he’d have to do it himself.

Talia doesn’t just raise him from the dead and train him right away. She spends a long time nursing him back to health, taking baby steps with him. She has some of the best doctors in the world taking care of him, and when he shows the signs of being ready, then she starts his training. She doesn’t train him with hopes that he will be a killing machine. She tries to teach him responsibility, and good judgement. She tries to right the wrongs that have been committed against him as much as she can. And then he’s gone.

This is where the timeline is a bit iffy. I’m wondering if Damian would have been born at that time or not? Would he have been incredibly young? In my head, it does make sense for him to be born by then. Talia distances herself from Bruce and Jason not only for their safety, but because of the series of miscarriages she’d had in her effort to have a child with Bruce. All were kept a secret from him, except the first. She was ashamed and depressed for so long because of it. After a few tries, she’d gotten desperate enough to run back to her father for help. The Lazarus helped her birth Damian, a perfectly healthy baby, finally. But with everything that happened, it felt unfair to return to Bruce with a baby out of nowhere.

I could sit here and ramble about this for hours and hours but I’m unfortunately very busy today. Please stay tuned and I’ll continue with more of these ramblings when I can. Thank you for asking! Please give your opinions on what I’ve written, because none of my hcs are set in stone and I would love to hear if I’ve gotten something completely wrong. Although it should absolutely be noted that the version of Talia I’m writing isn’t directly related to canon. :)

Fr tho!! I really think Talia should shift away from romance and family conflict and her stories should focus on being a mother and how it’s changed her.

me irl

Thinking like Talia is probably more renown in Africa/Middle East/Asia since that’s where her family runs things the most. The public there treat her family pretty much like royalty, and that’s why she always seems really regal in the way she acts. The League of Assassins is large enough to be its own nation when you think abt it. Bc it’s not just them but their families. To me it would have started with Ra’s centuries ago, and a handful of men and women who would be brought up as warriors and then boom into something of its own. It’s extremely hard to get into and except for traders they don’t allow any outsiders. The land they live on is basically its own country with its own laws and defenses. So that might be a thing.

They have plots of land across the globe, but they’re specifically meant to converse nature. So especially places effected by wildfires and other natural disasters or places with a high amount of hunters or deforestation workers. Assassins are sent to either kill or scare these people from the land and rebuild what’s been destroyed. They’re all sanctuaries with a few people planted to protect the area. All the animals are tagged and watched closely, but only interfered with when it’s absolutely necessary.

I take back what I said I can actually see how Talia and Battinson get together because that pathetic wet cat of a man is most definitely into people with more forceful personalities than him. He's a melodramatic mf and Talia is nothing if not a romantic so she has no issue keeping up with him. They angst about stuff together and then have dramatic fights across rooftops or gardens or something while proclaiming their "forbidden love" and calling each other nicknames that make everyone else gag. They write long, lengthy poems about each other's beauty and moral codes and the indescribable (they spend thirteen pages describing it) pull they feel towards each other and their forbidden attraction. The only difference is that Talia reads hers out to him lovingly and Battinson stutters through his, is beet red and can't look her in the eye. She thinks it's adorable. They're so in love it's sickening. They're literal Morticia and Gomez variants

A commissioned piece from the awesome and talented @frijolbean!!! It's even more amazing that the image in my head!!! 🤯💖

Go check out their page!!! Their commissions are closed at the moment but when they open back up I definitely recommend them! 😁

Ok, so a little bit about this piece: I love Talia and I think, no I KNOW, she is a Queen. Absolute boss bitch. Any way I really wanted to see a family portrait of her and the only two men in her life that actually matter, her legacy, her sons. A Queen and her heirs.

Disclaimer: I disregard canon because I live in a parallel universe where DC has good writers

If you enjoy Talia content consider following because this is all I’m thinking abt rn and I am determined to fill this tag

the cowl really does stay on during sex….

How can you even say that Talia is a different character now than before, she’s always been an evil villain. She killed someone in her first appearance with no mercy.

???? 🤨 “killed someone with no mercy”

My dude, did we even read the same comic? Lol

She shoots at Dr.Darrk because he’s about to try and kill Bruce himself. And “no mercy”? Lol. She cries right after she does it.

And honestly?? Always evil?

Wow definitely.

She would never try and protect someone

Or stop them from dying.

Or go against her father’s will

Or help anyone who wasn’t Batman.

Nope. I honestly can’t even think of any moment. Can you imagine that?
